Tzimisce169 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Am I missing something with regards to your army? Whilst it all looks cool and massive kudos for painting such a huge amount of models. Whats with the jump pack bikers and terminators? Also, the defiler skulls just don't look right. I'm not being nasty, I'm just offering some constructive critisism.

SoulTang Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 @ Tzimisce169: Thanks a ton for your critique !! ... it really helps me to know what you guys think. Yeah there are a lot of jump packs .... I really like the look of the jump pack on the new Termies ( the old metal ones were very clunky and outa scale with the rest of the figures in that era.. ;) ).. they don't do anything in the game I just like the way they look lol ... they counts as regular Termies lol. The Bikers are the same way ... I think they look cool like that. I have been playing 40 k for about 20 years ( not that im any good at it lol ) and don't really play official games workshop tournaments anymore. So this army is just for me .... well and my friends ... we play Apoc a lot. The Defiler heads on the Chaplins are just to be different . Normally chapies have a death motif ... thought those fit ;) Me wife has done a ton of the painting and she will be way happy to hear that you like the pain on them. And thanks guys !!! all the C&C on this army are great !! As we build more armys for people all this really helps !! Thanks Guys !! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzimisce169 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Oh cool. A mate of mine suggested that the jump packs were either a) To allow the termies to jump from a thunderhawk and slow their descent OR :pinch: Expanded exhausts and ventilation due to the terminies moving so fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The super raiders are indeed impressive, as is all your painting (wish I could say the same about mine) and yet one little laughable quibble comes to mind - The back Las sponsons'll blow the front ones clean off! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulTang Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 @Tzimisce169: LOL heck yeah !! thats a great explanation !! I love it !! lol . I really just put em on everything ;) Really thinking "you know .. it it were my troops going off to war ... id want em to have all the options lol" @Paladin7221: LOL yeah hope the safety is on that thing !!! Ive thought the same thing myself !! :) ... just wanted a cheaper / easier? way to get something like a mobile command bunker on the field. ACK for the cost of the 4 raiders i coulda bought 2 baneblades LOL... but they are kinda unique so far. thanks for the complements on he paint man !! ill pass em on to the wife !! As always ... all the C&C are greatly appreciated guys !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle Brother Ardonis Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 That's a sizeable army well done I haven't seen a 'BA' army that size since a White Dwarf some years back where an enitre chapter was painted on his train rides to and from work. The painting is awesome... the red looks really good especially for a non-citadel base, your wife deserves a raise.... here's were I'm gonna have to bring the hammer down just a little what the.... Your GK termies still have Inquisition marks on them and I can seriously assure you that no amount of fluff can justify jump packs on termies, 1. the either teleport or the the thunderhawk drops them off I can assure you they don't and wont use puny jump packs to control their descent their mass is to large for the packs to do anything.... In b4 the people that criticise me for my strict fluff adherence surely logic and realism play some part in determining what makes sense..... 2 the onl;y BA icons I saw in your entire army were on your Character counts as, everything else has mechanicus on it I'm not seeing any BA specific vehicles (cept for the liby which really shouldn;t count seeing as you have warmachine parts attached {inraged me when I saw} really you couldn't wait for the new awesome furioso by GW) no Baal, No assault marines from the pics I saw, no BA squad or rank markings do you have a copy of the codex cause from what I have seen dude these guys aren't even worthy to be called successors (cept for the paint job). If any of the mods are reading this this thread should be ended purely for the warmachine parts it goes against THE RULES. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Angel Scout Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 :yes: :) ;) - fantastic work, stretched raiders are exceptional here's were I'm gonna have to bring the hammer down just a little what the.... Slightly over the top. This is a very imaginative take and excellent conversions to create an immediate impression and signature to distinguish this army from the no-doubt hundreds of BA/Successor owners out there. Yes, I can appreciate your opinion and understand your concerns, however, if the opponent knows what each model and it's characteristic represent/count as then should'nt be an issue. Credit where credit is due Ardonis and in my opinion, like the terminator/GK jet pack look as it is in line with the theme , as is stated in the post! Force weapons on the Lib's are cool, will be watching this with interest and appreciation of the creators work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulTang Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 @Ardonis:.....wow ........ LOL ..... Thanks for the kudos on me wife's painting ... The process I use me thinks works pretty well and she has been a awesome student !!!! ok so i guess the very first post in this thread did not cover everything. Yeah the army is totally counts as as far as using the blood angels codex. There are about 120 assault troops that counts as ... being that have the JP's on them. I really just wanted a cool looking army not one that goes with "logic" LOL . If i were using logic id make it so ALL of my troops would be able to teleport instantaneously to the heart of the battle when needed .... but .... the current rules do not allow normal troops to do so ... well at least not blood angels... LOL ... way back in the Rogue Trader days pretty much anything would be possible so i kinda wanted to bring some of that at least to the models themselves ..... not to the game ... I do know a lot of whats on them is GW stuff as well as 2% of the parts in the entire army aren't GW parts .... Sorry for that I just thought it looked great ... didn't know there were rules against showing parts from other ranges on this forum. lol oops thats my bad i shoulda read the rules .... @Blood Angel Scout: ..... Thanks for the Kudos man !! ... yeah the entire army i was hoping had a pretty cool theme ..... heck even the dreads have jump jets on them !! LOL ... would be really bad if one of those rolls a 1 and lands in the middle of me block of troops LOL :) Thanks for the critique its great to hear all the opinions on the army as it is growing all the time. !! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrograde Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 @SoulTang: You and your wife have my admiration, the sheer amount of work! @Ardonis: Although this army isn't to my tastes either I understand some people have the inclination to look past fluff and rule restrictions and take what they want from the hobby. SoulTang has already explained he's been into the hobby since the less restrictive days of rogue trader. Also given his and his wife's obvious commitment to their craft I'd say they've earnt the right to do whatever they want with their models. By the tone of your post I see you seem to be suffering from a 'Genuine GW' fixation usually displayed by selected, paticularly irritating red shirts. 'The painting is awesome... the red looks really good especially for a non-citadel base'. Grudgingly given there :( 'you have warmachine parts attached {inraged me when I saw} really you couldn't wait for the new awesome furioso by GW'. Seriously, do you work for GW? 'If any of the mods are reading this this thread should be ended purely for the warmachine parts it goes against THE RULES./thread'. What rule forbids the posting of 3rd party bits or parts from other game systems on the B&C? It happens all the time, maxmini, scibor, warmachine. Have you never seen parts from these companies/systems used creatively here before? Actually I wouldn't be surprised considering you joined the site in november and you have 8 posts to your name. /Ardonis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
