Mugginns' Mantis Warriors

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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?

 

Cheers,
