mugginns Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hey all, Just thought I'd share my Mantis Warriors. I was inspired to start this army by the Badab War books. I had sworn off Marines for a while because they were so prominent in our meta (and still are). The concept of a chapter who found themselves on the wrong side of a secession war was just too cool for me though. I've built the army around a terminator core with a lot of fast attack choices. I think at this point I have about 8k points with about half of my models painted. I really need to paint some tac squads but I just haven't done it yet.

EPK Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Nice work Mugginns! I like the weathering on the LR and the yellow on the Terminator helms - they way they are all different reminds me of warpaint.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Cracking work, especially the Storm Eagle and Storm Raven. Also: Mmmm, Thunderham.

Kierdale Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Mugginns, that's a fantastic looking army! The three storm talons look great alongside the raven and eagle. That's quite some CAS-force you've built up! Good luck in their first game. Tell us how they perform :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254212-mugginns-mantis-warriors/#findComment-3086862 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Excellent looking army and you should be proud of them. Any comments regarding putting the Storm Eagle together? Were there any particular issues with the construction?

Imperial Deceit Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 They do look very good, but they feel a little TMNT to me. Spot-on painting though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254212-mugginns-mantis-warriors/#findComment-3091702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugginns Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks for the compliments all! The Storm Eagle was indeed a pain to put together. The sides didn't match up very well.

mugginns Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Things have slowed down a lot for me the last few weeks as we've added our first Space Marine to our family ^_^ I was able to get some Tartaros Terminators done, however! http://www.freshcoast40k.com/2012/07/manti...d-tartaros.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254212-mugginns-mantis-warriors/#findComment-3114681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 They look really good! If I could make one suggestion it would be to dirty their feet a bit, what with them trudging through a swamp.
