My Army

Hey there all.

Been around these forums for a while and thought I would share what I have been working on. It's a small Codex SM army. I have had a few 500pts games with them where they did very well Mu ha ha haaa.

I have been painting for many years but only recently started to play so realize there are some holes in my army still :P

 

Hope you like

 

Assault squad armed with a plasma pistol and flamer. I will field them with a jump pack Chaplain in larger games.

Three Tactical squads. The first two are the backbone of the army. I need to get some Rhinos for them. They just keep shooting!

I have had mixed results with these but I liked the models:)

Here are my Terminators with a Chaplain Terminator. The squad has one heavy weapon too many as they were built in the 4th ed days. I need to fix this but I hardly ever play them anyway.

Chaplain Dreadnought. I saw this model on FW and had to have. I can also play it as a venerable :)

Magnetised Landspeeders. I love these. They scare the poop out of other players. I normally play them with a HF/MM config <_<

My magnetised Pred. Not much to say. I haven't played it much. Waiting to play larger games

Just some extra HQ models. I scratch built the Captain.

There is no real fluff for them at the mo. I want them to be from a feudal world where each company represents a noble house with their own coat of arms etc. As each company is supposed to represent a different noble house on their home planet, I imagined each captain having a unique set of armour depending on a colour. For instance 'Sir (something) the Black' or 'Sir (something) the Red'. It would be fun to develop a speciality for each house (assault, mechanised, stealth,etc) making the rivalry and politics on their own planet indecisive however, with their forces combined in the face of humanities enemy, they are strong in deed.

On the table it means I could use a re-fluffed Calgar, Khan or Shrike depending on how I want to set up my army:)

I'm watching this thread...

 

Not much I can offer in the way of advice here, except for the red helmet on the chaplain kinda throws me off and doesn't 'feel' right. But you could easily fix that with some fluff ( :P ) or painting the skull part... like a skull...

 

EDIT: Actually adding advice :HQ:

Thanks for the feedback :lol:

 

I wanted to do something different with the chaplains. I am sort of thinking along the lines of. Their home planet is kind of futuristic medieval. There are giant red dragon like monsters that each marine has to fight and slay as part of their right of passage. The assault part of my army have red armour in connection with this and I thought the chaplains could have red skulls.

 

I have a small update. As you have seen I have magnetized my pred. so I can build a Pred or Razorback

Unfortunately I was daft and glued down the plate the turret sits on stopping me from making a Rhino. So now I've made raised hatches that sit on quite nicely

No, no name yet. I will sit down and actually start to write down the fluff soon I think :)

 

Here is the last thing I have to paint for my army for now. Its my Landraider. I hope to get around to doing some free hand on it but not too sure what yet.
