lionofjudah Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 So ive based my SM army (the lions of judah) loosely on the wolves for 3 editions of the game now...back in teh RT days they were the Black widows as glossy black spray with a red hour glass was real easy to do:) Ok so my 12 tribes all hail from the same planet, so on and so forth...when I first heard inklings of a new SW dex being more than just wishfull thinking I sold all of my marines but my termys, dreads, rhinos and LR and began the slow wait with baited breath. I have a guy at my LGS slowly (and I do mean slowly) GS'ing up some chaos warrior bodies(25 of them) to be my TS marines. These will be my Blood claws. My Termis are going under the GS knife and are becoming my grey hunters and I will be coming in to some TS termis for the WG and assault termi squad for my baneraider crusader and I have a FW preheresy godhammer awaiting conversion to a baneraider as well...my rhinos I had upscaled a lil with the addition of SOB repressor and immolator parts respcetively. I know we will be outnumbered with the sagas and all , which is good for the old pocket book but by god I want this army to look badazz on the table and bring the fear of russ to my opponents...course my regular adversary knows the gods do not favor my dice unless i too am taking the table with me eldar scum but...perchance the fates turn with the new army on the deck!!! so... with out new dex but a scant month or 2 away I am shaping up my list as so... 1850'ish BJORN THE FELHANDED av13(or 14...whatever) dreadnought superkilly leader of doom!!! Iron priest (converting him from the limited tech marine onto a termibody...ugh) in a schnazzy biggered rhino with a with lobotomized FW ogryn with a PC and 3 tech guys to boost repairs) Wolf priest in TDA with a TH?SS (please please please!!!), oils, salves,and tails!! 1 x 8 termis with whatever mix of wpns GW grants us in a JAHHAMMA LR 1 x dread of flamer goodness 1 x scout squad of appropriate size to do their job...looking at 'Only in Deaths' wolf scout series as inspiration here!!! 1 x 10 grey hunter squad with the max of melta love in a rhino with a WGBL kitted out for tank busting and Big nasty monstrosityness killiness 1x 15 BC squad tooled up to get it on in HTH mounted up in LRC with the wolf priest leading the charge 1 x 10 BC squad in a rhino with the whole HTH thing goin on may have gone a lil overboard points wise but daggone it im excited!!! this is a WIP army and once I get my grubbins on the 'dex then I will refine it of course but I feel I will be able to get all of this and my guard army done but the holidays if I can set my mind to it!! LMK bout the list cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177252-sw-army-list-ideas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrathnar Flintfang Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I was doing some work for a gaming charity marathon a few months ago and I actually asked one of the first Hosts of the people MCing the first few hours of that marathon (not going to drop any names/refrences right now so as not to make waves) why he did not make a space marine chapter based on the Jewish/Hebrew culture. Now I see someone actually doing it, and frankly I think that is pretty spiffy! I would personally love to see a more comprehensive layout of your fluff some time if you haven't already put it up elsewhere on B&C. However, the understandable hyper eagerness aside, I must say that you probably want to be patient. Truth be told we don't know how things will change. Maybe its just me, but I think its a bit soon to be making plans without knowing what GW did to the codex.

lionofjudah Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 ...my army fluff disappeared with my olde laptop in a puft of hair and burning plastic smell...but I have been entranced by the rasta and jewish cultures for the past 20 years. My 3 HQ have always been named peter, buhnnee, and Bawb after the wailers with vehicles named from tradition including dawid and solohmon. The spelling and inflection of the writings has become a lil easier to do by making them slightly runic, yiddish, and ras. It has honestly been an important movement for me as I see the spiritual implications in most things and in this 'game' I play I see semblance and the parallels of life and do not want to give in all the way to the science fictional part of this hobby without giving something deeper of myself to it.
