Prot's Painted Chaos Armies +Added Pics!+
Demonknight replied to Prot's topic in + HERETIC ASTARTES +
GREAT looking IW! How did your game go? Did you use Red Corsairs? I'm thinking about starting up again and they look fun to play. -
I apologize in advance if I am asking too many "noob" questions and rambling. :) I have been a veteran of WH40K for decades , but fell in love with Horus Hersey as soon as I read my first novel years ago. All of the rich background stories created by many great authors that sucked you into that time frame and kept you coming back for more even though you knew the ultimate outcome. I have always had a soft spot for the Mechanicum, but I am not sure how to build a descent force or where to start. I love converting/ painting etc. I have built a IH force as well as Luna Wolves, blood angel, Death Guard and Knights armies. I played then sold them all. I always felt as though I was missing something. My passion is Mechanicum and all the background/ conversions they offer. I have made titans out of foam core (even an emperator titan) and enjoyed the carnage they cause on the field of battle. I want to make an army that will be my crowning achievement/ complete my quest. Something to keep and admire. I am looking for suggestions on a semi competitive force that I can expand on (2,500 - 20,000+ pts). I want to include titans of all sizes as well as infantry, tanks and all the other great units that make the Mechanicum awsome. I am looking to this great forum to help me in this endeavor. Any comments, suggestions, advice is greatly appreciated.

I think this sounds like a lot of fun. :)

Great suggestions. Thank you :)

Thanks Withershadow :) In my experience with Vets (relatively limited) I have scaled back the amount of combi- upgrades I give them for the simple fact that Sniper is already quite a good buff for their Bolters and with Outflank and Deathdealers, melta is almost guaranteed to ruin a tank if you get them from behind (including the Multimelta on the Rhino, or in my case the Lascannons on the Proteus), but they are still a 'soft' target with 3+ save...atleast in my meta, where I face Medusa, Phosphex and Thanatar frequently. I have toyed with the idea of building a melee dedicated Vet squad using Reaver models, riding in a Phobos Landraider but I think that a 5man Terminator squad will perform better. If you are set on the Maloghurst and Veteran spam then I would probably suggest Orbital Assault so you are getting your units with combi- up close and where they need to be for maximum havoc, riding in a Rhino/Landraider and even Outflanking can be very hit and miss, either getting shot up before they get into range or coming in the wrong side of the table which always hurts. Thanks Rangaman. :) I was wondering if the full squad with combi's would be over kill. I really like the Vet squad using reavers. I just really like the look of the chain axes, but maybe the unit is not practical. I dont want to spam Vets with Mal, I just want to make them troops so I can have more scoring options without having to take Horus or RoW. I was thinking of having a unit of justariens in a spartan and a unit of reavers/ vets in another one. Maybe I am just wasting to many points. :(
-
I am really liking the vet tacs. I am using a proxy for Maloghurst so I can take them as troops. What are some good builds for a 10 man squad? I was thinking combi plas in a rhino? I know Reavers are not worth the points with other cheaper options. . . . . but I was thinking of running a 15 man unit. I have some chain axes and I like the idea of them with them. I just am not sure on their weapons and mayby puting them in a spartan or maybe a Mastadon (one can dream :) )? I love the suggestion of a 10 man Justerian squad in a spartan with a Primus and maybe Mal or a another HQ. Maybe 2 pair of LC, a couple CF and PF with combi plas?

The more I look at the rules I think I may just put Loken in a squad as a generic leader. I am planning on using Torgaddon proxying another HQ maybe even in terminator armor. What is the opinion on terminators? Justerian, or other types? Armament?
-
Thanks for the sound advice Slips! :) I am keeping Loken as one HQ choice, but the other is up for grabs. The more I look into Justaerin the more I like them. How would you equip a 10 man squad in a Spartan with Loken and (help) other HQ? Tac Vets seem to be more point efficient then reavers. How would you arm them/ squad size? Transport?
-
Hi Milosh, Thank you for the advice. :) I am not a fan of multiple unit spam just fun games with good people so no worries on quad morters. Are tactical blobs bad in a SoH army? I am looking to make a 2500 - 3500pts list. Maloghurst has good abilities, but (fluff speaking) I dont think that would mesh with my Loken theme. :) I really like the idea of running termies in a Spartan with HQ. If running a 10 man unit, would 5 pair LC be a good build? What about the others? I have 2 BoP box sets and was looking for the best way to build them for my SoH/ LW army.
-
Hi Guys! I have been playing Iron Hands for awhile now, but I have always wanted to build a loyalist SoH/ LW list around Loken. So far I have just a tac squad painted up. What would everyone recommend for a player that wants a good list but more of a fun list. I am not a power gamer, but I would like to not get tabled first turn. I have a wide range of unpainted models so options are available. I like the Spartans, Leviathans, contempters, termies, laser vindi and fire raptor, however I am looking for any and all suggestions. Thank you

You guys have mo sold on the Corvus loadout. I really love the model and I am excited to field her. Prot, I saw your post with the build "1 chaplain, 7 DW Vetrans (2 Frag Cannons, 3 Shotguns, 2 Combi- Melyas), 1 Terminator w/ THSS". I like this build a lot. Do you still think its a solid choice?
-
Thank you guys. :) Next up is a Stalker squad. I really like Prot's build of 4 stalkers, 1 infurnus and 1 CL termi. I like the utility of the squad. I was almost tempted to make it 5 vet stalkers, 2 infurnus, 2 CL termi's and a libbi. That is a ton of points though. :( Also my corvus just arrived so I am tempted to build it , but it is getting a lot of negative press lately. Any idea's on a decent build for it?
-
Thank you :) No, just the Chaos black primer followed by a couple diluted coats of abbadon black. It might be my bad photography :( . My Iron Hands in my other gallery started with a metallic base and several coats of wash.

Here is my second squad I started last week. I built this one using one using one of Sir Vash's builds. And I just finished! Now on to Stalkers.
