Malus' Flesh Tearers


Recommended Posts

I've posted my tac squad once before, but they made it into the photo's!

Mostly assembled 10 Man Assault squad 1 of 6 going into my force. Left shoulder pads are off waiting for Chapter specific ones, as are Jump packs to easy with painting. Next step is to base them so I can prime and get started.

And my pride and joy. The Black Baron, 1 of 2 Dakka Baal's for my army. The Red Baron will have a red turret.

Still need to add weathering and mud, but I really like how this is turning out!

What I'm looking at having painted up total (for now) is

HQ Seth

4x 9 man Ras PF 1xMelta

2x 5 man RaS Flamer

2x SHP

2x Furioso +Magna Grapple/DP

2x Dakka Baals +EA. 1998/2k. Heretic's Sundered Strike Force.

JP swarm charges up the middle behind the 2 Rhino's with Seth + SHP each Rhino. Dreads come down 1 to each enemy corner, 1 Dakka Baal Ideally Outflanking each corner. A V formation of Death.

What I will be ending with when all is said and done is 6x 10 man RaS 4 double melta PF IPistol, 2 Double Flamer's, TH + Hand Flamer, Honor guard with banner, 10 Vanguards (almost done), a Burna Baal, 2 Dakka Baals, Seth, 4 Furioso's, 2 BT 1 Blood Fist, 1 Librarian. And a sprinkling of 3 Vindicators in case the mood takes me to add em. I'll prolly do up 10 more tac marines for a just in case situation. 2 PA SHP, 2 JP SHP. 100 marines, counting Seth, not counting vehicle crew.

After that lofty goal, if I stick with it, and manage to paint all that nonsense, I might as well build the other 300 guys in the chapter, huh?

It's awesome seeing real FT players taking Seth, he's easily my favorite of the new special characters. I would use him for fun as well, though I play straight Blood Angels so he's a little out of character for my army. I guess I could do counts-as for fun. :P

 

That's a great looking Predator, Malus! I think the flash on your camera is a little unforgiving to the paint job, but it's a great looking model either way. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff! :cry:

The pain is I WILL field a Jump Pack zerg, and I really hate that Seth can't have one himself. That's ok though. I'm using a couple rhino/RB screens to hammer the JP's up the middle. Seth can hitch a ride, and joing the festivities 1 turn late. I have probally 7 2k lists now, with 30-60 JP RaS Marines in em. So damn difficult to find my happy medium. Every 2 hours, I'm revising and redoing a new list modified off the previous.

It by no means is gonna be 'Ard Boys material, not what I'm aiming for. I'm aiming for the sheer Terror factor of 40-60 fully painted, blood splattered, war torn Flesh Tearers looking very pissed off coming down on any and all before them.

You could always stick Seth in a LR with a smashy unit (like Assault Termies or Honor Guard) and either DS him just before your Assault Marines get there, or just drive him up in the front as a screen. He's brawny enough to do serious damage from a LR charge, if you're willing to spend the points on it.

I'm actually without Landraiders with my Flesh Tearers, where as I would field as many as humanly possibly with my Deathwing. I'm point skimmin everywhere I can to put as many boots in the air with Jump Packs. I may give my Redeemer a slight makeover, as it's almost set to FT paint Scheme already. Just don't feel I have room for Termies or Land Raiders.

Well, I should have a camera up and working soon. The Flesh Tearer force has grown to....

40 Assault Marines with Jump packs,

11 man tac (1 Lascannon guy, 1 Heavy Bolter guy)

Chapter Master Seth

3 Vindicators, 2 Rhino's, a whirlwind, LR Redeemer, LR Crusader, 1 Furioso Dread, 1 Old metal Ven Dread with Ass Cannon,

2 Razorbacks, 3 Dakka loadout Baal Predators, (I need to build the 3 Burna-Baals, but they have to wait for everything else to get some paint)

The Sanguinar chillin out, Mephiston checkin in, 1 honor guard with command squad box, and my cool personal Honor Guard for Seth, using the armor from the Sangiunary guard box,

2 Sang High Priests, using the old Sang Guard Jump packs,

and 13 some other random vets from the Vet box or Masters of the Chapter box.

Gonna have to get this all painted before I kitbash a Storm raven or 2. Maybe they will release a model once this is all down with paint, and weathering!
