greatcrusade08 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi guys, orginally posted in Ultra forum, but its an ongoing painting project, so im putting it here for comments.. Its my 'pure' scout army in the making.. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/DSCF1949.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/DSCF1951.jpg This is scout assault squad Cestus.. the sergeant is a repaint, so its a little rough around the edges. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/DSCF1953.jpg http://s708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/th_DSCF1955.jpg http://s708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/th_DSCF1956.jpg This is LSS shotgun squad Furion, split into two teams, obviously LSS arent available just yet, i painted them a little darker to make them stand out as "elites" amongst scouts.. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/DSCF1961.jpg Sniper squad Telion. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/DSCF1964-1.jpg http://s708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/th_DSCF1965-1.jpg http://s708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/th_DSCF1966-2.jpg Scout sniper squad (to be named).

greatcrusade08 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Some pics of captain Antilochus: http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/anti1.jpg?t=1245939026 http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/anti2.jpg?t=1245939128 GC08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 It alllooks really good. What parts is Antilochus's body made from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 What parts is Antilochus's body made from? A standard space marine bike with bikers legs and right arm. The main body is from a MK2 Vet model The hand and hammer handle from a DA command squad power weapon The hammer from a hammernator (it was originally right handed weapon, is now left) The banner came with some MK 2 Vets i brought, im not sure which one it belongs to though GC08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 That is a pretty sharp looking army you got there...wouldn't mind make one like it myself. I like how everything is lined out and planned! Wish I had done that. I also like the nice variety you have with your scouts. Kudos! If you were to add any new units in the future, might I suggest the following? Sternguard(Vet marines??? Don't have the C:SM) Ven. Dreadnaughts You can do the whole "Old teaching the young" thing to bolster your AT capabilities! Edit: Actually, forget the sternguard. I read your other post and command squad makes more sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 That's a slick Biker Captain! Nice work, really like the conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I really like the way you have used Cadian heads on the scouts. You can consider that idea pinched :) (In fact there are two in the post from a bitz site) Ill post mine up once they are on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Your more than welocme to pinch the ideas :P I also made a command sqaud for my scout army to take it to 1750 points, i used SM bodies with scout heads which took a bit of fiddling to fit in properly.. ill get some pics up when i can.

larundel Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I like what you have done, i have seen a few people do scout army's and although they dont have the armour save of a normal marine, the factor is that you can get more of them for the points and if you ask me, they look rock solid as a large group with back-up from bikes and landspeeders. Cant wait to see more. *booksmark topic* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 i had some success at my local gaming club with an all scout army with results of 5/0/0 (w/d/l), i already knew that with the meta game, you could outfit a scout army to do well against most other armies, but i wasnt sure about an 'all comers scout force' So to find out if they were competative enough i took the army to the 'Ultra meet' at GWHQ, and played some more competative lists, the results were about average 1/1/2 (w/d/l), with every game bar one loss being extremely close. My recent game aginst an Ork horde was a draw also, at the end of turn 7 there were 5 scouts and 7 orks left on the board, it was a real meat grinder of a game! I would say that scouts arent a tourney army, but can be competative to a point, but they are extremely fun! Which is what 40k is supposed to be about. Ill keep getting pics up when i get the chance, thanks for all the comments guys. GC08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throne Bearer Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 For your commander, perhaps an ornate set of scout armour, counts as artificer. I think this would tie him back to the scouts very well. I have always questioned why the 10th company didn't have the ability to take all scout armour really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have always questioned why the 10th company didn't have the ability to take all scout armour really. i used to think this, but fluff wise, once they are full marines they get power armour, it goes hand in hand with being a space marine i guess. The contradiction to this is the scout sergeants, most of whom served with first or battle companies before becoming instructors, but i personally think they wear scout armour as a necessity. As for captains its so rare for them to accompany scouts is not necessary for them to wear scout armour. For those of you unfamiliar with my work, i wrote a profile for captain antilochus, which can be found here.. GC08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
