Scott-S6 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Well, here's my almost completed company. I still need to design a standard and there are two ironclads coming next month. Other than that, I'm done with painting marines for a while. This project was supposed to take most of the year but the rather difficult circumstances of the last six months have given me more painting time than I expected despite work/wife/kids. It's not going to win me any prizes but it looks good on the tabletop, gives me a good choice of effective builds and, most importantly, fits into three cases so I can carry it in a single trip. http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/7717/dscf0538x.th.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171888-reinforced-company/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Casman Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Wow, that's rather impressive! The red really stands out against the green bases. Can you tell me what vehicle is between the Land Raider and the Vindicator? It almost looks like it has a crane on it...

werewolf_nr Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Looks like a tow vehicle. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171888-reinforced-company/#findComment-2031567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-S6 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 It does have a crane on it. It's an Armour Recovery Vehicle (there are rules in IA1 for a leman russ based one). When you and your opponents have lots of tanks you can get congestion issues as the wrecks build up. Also, if it pulls a tank immobilised by terrain off that terrain then it stops being immobilised.

Grey Mage Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 *nods* good stuff. Why no regular Dreads though? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171888-reinforced-company/#findComment-2031873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrahawk Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Nice army. I especially like the Tarantulas, should prolly get some of those. <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171888-reinforced-company/#findComment-2031880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-S6 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Regular dreads? There's a MM/HF, a TLLC/ML and a seige dread (inferno cannon FTW!). Two ironclads to be added next month. The tarantulas are good. 15 points each 12"360degree or 24"90degree and can be deployed by deep strike. On the other hand, three of them takes a HS slot and they're a kill point each....

Cool! I hope to get my copy of IA1 soon, I may do a similar conversion. Any pointers?

Cool! I hope to get my copy of IA1 soon, I may do a similar conversion. Any pointers? There's a thread here. Swankyfish did an awesome modern ARV (fully articulated crane arm) on a whirlwind base. I went a little more old school with a hydraulic a-frame. The forgeworld russ-based ARV has a completely fixed rear arm.
