Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi! As the title say I need your help to finish 3 army list, and more important for me, I need some modeling advises (thats why Ipost here and not in the subforum armylist)!!! So let’s begin by my modeling questions : I need to make 14 Acolites with Storm-Bolter & 3 Crusaders. More-over I want to use some elysean heads I’ve already got on the SB ones. So my question are : -How would the Elysian heads fit on SM Scout’s bodies ? -What would you use : SM Scouts or Cadian Troops ? And Why ? -What arms/peice would you use to make the crusader Storm Shield ? Now Regarding the 3 army lists : I’ve been collecting Ordo Maleus minis since roughly 15 years, and THOSE LISTE ARE MADE IN ORDER TO USE A MAXIMUN OF THE MINIS I’VE GOT, not in order to be competitive. So EXEPT FOR THE THIRD LIST where I haven’t build the 14 Acolites with Storm-Bolter & 3 Crusaders mentioned above, I DONT WHANT ANY CHANGE IN MY UNITS. WHAT I NEED IS ADVISE IN HOW TO SPEND THE POINTS I’VE GOT LEFT ! So here is the first one : HQ : -GM (Psycanon & NFH, both Master Crafted, Blind & Rad Grenade) : 255pts………. Goes w/ the GKT -Archivist (NFS & 4 power) : 205pts…………goes w/ the GKT Elites : -GK Techmarine (Storm Bolter, Blind & Rad Grenade, 3 Servo-skulls) : 117pts……… Goes w/ the 5 PAGK w/out the Psy C -9 GK Purificator (4 PsyC, 4 NFH, 1 DH) & 1 Justicar (DH), Dedicated Rhino : 338pts………….. A Combat Squad w/ 2 Psy C goes in the Rhino Troops : -9 PAGK (2 PsyC) & 1 Justicar (DH), Dedicated Rhino : 270pts……. Combat Squad w/ the 2 Psy C goes in the Rhino -4 GKT (PsyC & NFS, 3 NFH) & Justicar (DH) : 225pts Fast Attack : -9 GK IS (2 Psy C, 1 DH, Psy-Munition) & Justicar (DH) : 300pts…… Each Combat Squad follow 1 Rhino Heavy Support : -Psyfle-Dread : 135pts -Psyfle-Dread : 135pts ……Both dread, the TechGK with the PAGK Combat Squad & the GKP Combat Squad Protect my base Total : 1980pts ! So what should I do whith the 20pts left ? On to the second one : HQ : -Draigo : 275pts….. Goes w/ the GKT -Archivist (4 power) : 170pts…… Goes w/ the GKT Troops : -10 Paladins (4 Psy C, 4 DH, 4 NFH, 2 NFW) : 630pts………… Combat Squad -4 GKT (Psy C & DH, 3 NFH), Justicar Thawn : 300pts Fast Attack : -9 GK IS (2 Incinerators, 1 DH) & Justicar (1DH) : 320pts……….2 Combat Squad w/ 1 Inci & 1DH each, but both will follow the Dread Knight as fast as possible into the enemy lines Heavy Support : -Dreadknight (Teleporter, NGS, Heavy-Incinerator) : 260pts Total : 1955pts ! Still 45 pts to play ! And finally the third one : HQ : -Coteaz : 100pts……….Join the Purificator & the Dread in the Storm raven -OX Inquisitor (Conversion beamer, Power sword, 3 servo skulls) : 89pts………join the Servitors Elites : -Vindicare : 145pts -GK Techmarine (SB,Rad & Blind, 3 Servo-Skulls) : 117pts………. Join the 3 DCA, 3 Arcos, 3 Crusaders & the 2 Aco w/ melta in the LRR -9 GK Purificator (1 Incinerator, 8 NFH) & Justicar (NFH) : 258pts Troops : -3 DCA, 3 Arcos, 3 Crusaders & 2 Aco w/ Melta Gun : 163 -2 HB Servitors, 1 HP Servitors, 2 Jokaero, 1 Aco w/ Plasma gun, 1 Aco w/ Bolter & 5 aco w/SB : 164pts -3 Aco w/Melta Gun, 3 Crusaders, 6 Aco w/ SB & Chimera (2HB) : 184pts -6 Psyker, 3 Aco w/ SB & Chimera (2HB) : 136pts Fast Attack : -Strorm Raven (Heavy Armour) : 220pts Heavy Support : -LRR (Psy Munition, Psy Combutible, Heavy Armour & Multi-Melta) : 290pts -Dread (Multi-Melta & Heavy Armour) : 130 pts Total : 1996pts. So just 4 pts left, BUT here the Aco w/SB are not build nor buy yet. So this list may still see some change if you provide good input !!! Sorry if this post was a bit long but I wanted to put the 3 list together, because there is another thing you could suggest : it’s to exchange model from one list to put into an other one. Just keep in mind that all list s hould be 2000pts in the end, and all models must employed : It took me YEARS to collect, assemble and PAINT them, so I want to play with ALL my toys !!!

NuclearMessiah Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 -How would the Elysian heads fit on SM Scout’s bodies ? I will answer this. Not well FW stuff tends to be a bit more in proper scale for a human body then GW models and the Elysian heads will look small in comparison.

Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Thanks NuclearMessiah. So I gues I'll go for the Cadian way! It will be quite easy for the Acolites w/ SB, but do you have any idea how to make Crusader out of them?

nurglez Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Maybe look at some warhammer shields? Empire or bretonian should be suitable...

Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 For me the problem are not so much the shield tham the arms : Most of them are made to hold a lasgun two-handed... I know that we are a Power-armour only forum, but does any of you know if within 2 cadian troop box I will have enough "independent" arms to hold 3 swords & 3 shield?
