Demoulius Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 a fine looking force brother :ermm: small question: is the DC and chaplain made for gaming wise or fluffwise? havent seen many walking DC models ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192104-blood-angels-4th-company/#findComment-2280549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
douchie Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 a fine looking force brother :ermm: small question: is the DC and chaplain made for gaming wise or fluffwise? havent seen many walking DC models ;) I'm pretty new to 40k & originally painted the figures how they came. Since joining this site & seeing all the Death Company with jump packs, I've been toying wth the idea of sticking jump pack on them. Either that or stick them in a razorback. What are the benefits & drawbacks of these options gaming wise?

Demoulius Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 well drawback or footslogging DC is the fact that they cant charge out of a moving rhino (except if the new dex somehow magicly changes this off course :P) and you cant buy them a razorback so it would need to bought somewhere else and the marines placed in it after deployment (which would be pretty hard during dawn of war deployment...) it would also limit the size of your DC to 5 man if you want to include the chapy. (taking the rhino if it becomes bigger maybe) the benefit of the jump packs is that you can ignore terrain by jumping over it, forcing your opponent to keep the 18 inch charge range in mind. the jumppacks also dont become obsolete when your opponent fire stuff at them whilst the rhino can break down easily... but tbh, unless you really want to you dont HAVE to take jumppacks. ive seen multiple players use rhino mounted RAS, i see no reason why a rhino mounted DC also wouldnt be a viable option :rolleyes: comes down to preference i guess...

douchie Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thanks for the clarification, I think jump packs would be best for how I'm intending to use them. Guess I'll be scanning ebay for jump packs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192104-blood-angels-4th-company/#findComment-2280656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbit3 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 GW sells just jump packs by themselves now. They are not expensive. Painting wise, I really like your style. Also, you clearly put time into the small details.

douchie Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 The head is from the ultramarines scout sgt, telion, telios or something. I used his body as the frame for my scout sgt & just has the head lying around on my modelling table. I was just pottering around last night & decided the head was too nice not to use.

titan136 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 REALLY REALLY NICE! i love the grittiness of your blood angels. your painting style is more realistic whereas a lot of people go for neatness. that rhino is just gorgeous!

douchie Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Thanks for all your kind comments, I've been working on my first assaut squad & have finally pulled together some pictures. Let me know what you think... Assault squad Kainan http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s232/Douchie101/SquadKainan.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s232/Douchie101/SquadKainan2.jpg On the work bench is a Vindicator, which is half finished & a Rhino for tactical squad Kastor that's currently undercoated. Also working on a new base for Captain memnon. Will post pics when I complete these projects.

douchie Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 +1And that sarge is really cool :huh: It's +1 purely for gaming reasons, so that I can interchange the melta guy with a standard assault marine depending upon available points etc. Glad you like the Sgt, I did a few subtle amendments to the vet marine figure to make him more BA like I've just finished the new base for Captain Memnon, & I think it does him more justice than the last one. I'll post pics when I finish the Vindcator & Rhino I'm curently working on.
