Hello Everyone! The following is a 9th edition adaptation of a list that yielded good results in 8th (I mostly play in TTS until I can afford all the minis). First some notes: # I decided to put everything in a brigade because I tend to spam "overlapping fields of fire" and I need the CP. # I never see the Vindicare in competitive lists, but he drops autarchs and smash captains like flies in turn 1 or 2 and I have come to love him. # The sentinels are not only to fill slots, more often than not my opponent spends valuable antitank shots to remove them instead of targetting the TCs. So they are some insurance if I don't get turn 1. My biggest concern and the reason I am asking for advice is the infantry. I played once with 6 squads and 5 Bullgryns, only to lose because my squads were wiped out by turn 3 and despite the Bullgryns surviving I lost control of the board. This list has 10 vanilla squads, no heavy weapons, no plasma, just some good old FRFSRF wall of guns. Is this an efficient use of points or would you get something else for 200pts? Brigade Detachment 0CP (Imperium - Astra Militarum) [112 PL, 11CP, 2,000pts] Regimental Doctrine: Cadian Stratagems Tank Ace [-1CP] Operative Request Sanctioned [-1CP] Agents of the Imperium Vindicare Assassin [5 PL, 100pts] HQ Company Commander [2 PL, 35pts]: Chainsword, Laspistol, Warlord, Relic: Kurov’s Aquila Company Commander [2 PL, 35pts]: Chainsword, Laspistol 3x Tank Commander [12 PL, 235pts]: Battle Cannon, Lascannon, Plasma Cannons Troops 10x Infantry Squad [3 PL, 50pts] . 9x Guardsman: 9x Lasgun . Sergeant: Chainsword, Laspistol Elites 3x Astropath [1 PL, 25pts]: Telepathica Stave 2x Commissar [2 PL, 20pts]: Bolt pistol Fast Attack 3x Scout Sentinels [3 PL, 45pts] .

This is my mostly finished execution platform. As always tend to notice details that need touching up whenever I take photos. The Block itself is a small cardboard box spray painted black and painted light grey with a wide brush. I did this fairly quickly and could probably use some stippling or different grays in order to make the building more windswept and worn as if rocks and ice has chipped away at it over time. The top side staging is an array of square bases that I got from the flagellants box. I don't play AoS but had previously converted some Empire swordsmen into crusaders and wanted the flagellant models because they come with a ton of great bits and just love those models. I cut apart an old Play-doh container from my kids and used that as the plinth for the heretic using super glue to attach it to the cardboard. The stand which the heretic is tied to is the barrel of an auto-cannon that I hadn't used in a heavy weapons squad with a random wreath bit from the swordsmen box. The REPENT scroll on the front is another bit from the flagellants as well as the bell hanging from his thumb in what can only be assumed as a pain ring. The wood at the bottom of the base is a heavy weapon tripod cut up and random bits of plastic cut into rough hewn shapes. As imperial guard players know you always end up with extra torsos and no legs so in order to tie him to the pole I created fake legs by measuring another trooper with legs and cutting a piece of sprue to roughly equal it. I then cut that piece of sprue in half making two rough leg shapes tightly pushed together gluing to the torso. I continued by covering them up behind the yarn which I would have had come up slightly higher in an ideal world. Overall pretty happy with effect keeping them the primer black so as to further hide the fake legs that are cast in shadow instead of painting them white like my troopers' uniforms. My next step for this piece of terrain is to follow Striking Scorpion's youtube tutorial on propaganda posters and plaster the bottom of the platform in posters. I imagine the prisoners so drugged out of their tree they willingly climb the rickety ladder and steps allowing themselves to be secured to the platform. Eventually waking up to quite the shock and awaiting their grisly demise. I went for a very small fire effect as if the battle had interrupted the middle of the execution and the commissar overseer casually tossed his cigarette into the kindling before running off to inspire the troops. The freehand writing I had blocked out in a notebook to make sure I could fit the letters appropriately in the metal plating which I believe came with a vehicle kit in the Apoc or defense force box. I added a servo skull to film the entire ordeal and created a rickety ladder out of two parts of sprue where the vehicle rungs are clipped out of for a leman russ. The steps were rough cut sprue cut progressively shorter and glued edge to edge to form a small set of steps. Definitely needs some propaganda posters to fill it out. The heretic has a mix of imperial guard and flagellant parts. I need to touch up one of his eyes but all in all pretty happy with how he turned out.

!!! IT BEGINS !!! So my dream army since originally laying eyes on the models when they first came out all those years back, has been Krieg. I started with Blood angels way back in 3rd, but ever since FW came out with the Kriegers, I knew what my "main army" was going to be some day when I had the time and swathes of money. And now, it's finally coming to fruition. I'll update this thread/first post with pictures and such as the units finish up & the giant moneysink that is a full Krieg army slowly grows to fruition. The design was to have them as "dark and dirty" as possible, crawling across the board with hordes of bodies in at least every game possible, really taking on their regiment name of "The Dark Legion". I'll make up some regiment number to assign to them down the road to be super fancy... Opted for the full Krieg experience, IE, all the arty crews possible, none of that "on a chimera chassis" nonsense of those hoity-toity other guardsman! Popular opinion incoming: full resin is an absolute pain in the ass in terms of structural integrity/working with it, but damn do the Krieg Models look so damn awesome. It's been many years since I played against any guard army, many many more since I last borrowed and played with a guard army. I'd forgotten just how tiny guardsmen models are. It's pretty awesome how "to scale with the fluff" stuff is with the new line of models. This comparison image with one of my Death Guard, one of my Star Phantoms, and one of my old Blood Angles really shows that off: ----------------------!!! BUT NOW THE ARMY ITSELF !!!---------------------- (You can find front and backs in each units update post, only fronts will be here in this first thread post) Medusa Carriage & Crew #1: Medusa Carriage & Crew #2: Infantry Squad #1: Infantry Squad #2: Bullgryns & Bone'ead: Infantry Squad #3: Infantry Squad #4: Command Squad 1: Command Squad 2: Heavy Mortars: Commissars: Marshal: Combat Engis & Hades Drill: Infantry Squad #5: Infantry Squad #6:

What it says on the tin. Expect varying levels of plasma gun airbrush competency per squad. Progressive improvement each try was had.-

Today's progress update. Finished up the final touches to the hades drill and accompanying combat engis. Made them so they could be either: One large 10 man with meltas accompanying the drill for backlines shenanigans Two 6 man squads for concurrent use, one with two meltas to still accompany the drill into backlines, and a 7 man with the mole launcher for main line defense.-

Going to use the command squad sword lads as field officers on tabletop, and these Commis as marshals, since I'll have banners in squads for LD buffs on each side of a table.-
