Greetings all. This will be the repository thread for all progress of powered armor wearing models in my collection. The first post may contain non-power armored themed information for context. Currently, I'm faced with a conundrum. I paint a myriad of types and styles of miniatures due to my day job. I need paint scheme themes to keep me organized with sci Fi and fantasy projects. Historicals are easier to manage due to..well, extant historical information.I trialed this over the last two years with my undead, where I have used green as an overarching main color.So I'm doing something similar now:1. Undead: Green must be a major color2. Imperial: blues and creams if possible. Imperial guard are an exception as they can literally be anything. But I will try to push blues and creams into those schemes.3. Fantasy humans/guild myrmidian: yellow and red.4. Stormcast will always be silver and purple. Here's the issue. This is my latest power armored project prior to this update in methodology: I'm not sure whether to continue and paint the rest as what is extant, or move to my above re-focused plan. Your thoughts, friends?

So with the rise of 8th edition I had hoped that Nork Deddog would be a independent HQ choice so that I could run a all Ogryn army with Ogryns and Bullgryns as my mainstay using the Vanguard Detachment. Sadly Nork Deddog turns out to be an elite. However I am still interested in the idea, and as Ogryn/Bullgryn have no regiment keyword I though I might just run it as Imperium army and pick a HQ from somewhere else with Ogryn like stats and convert. Assuming I understand the faction correctly I can build a Battle-forged army with the Imperium keyword and I would just loose the sub faction special rules and similar. This would only be a small army for quick and friendly games. One converted HQ, one Squad of Ogryns, one or two Bullgryns squads. I have been scouring the leaks for a suitable HQ and have found two that vaguely fit the bill. Mephiston – his sword has stats similar to a Thunderhammer so I can see converting a Bullgryn to have a slab shield (for the 2+ Save) and a Thunderhammer (I think I have a spare Dreadknight hammer somewhere). Two of the psychic powers would only be able to target himself, but that is ok Karamazov- he has a leadership bubble for Imperium, similar stats, and I can convert a suitable Powersword and Multi-melta. He is however a vehicle So my question are: Will this work from an army construction point of view. Any other ideas for HQ choices. The army lacks anti tank/MC/tough stuff, any suggestions.
