Death Dealer 101 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Unsure if posting in the WiP forum is adequate but thought I might post here as well. Greetings all to my new (and first) ever army blog the Sons of Sparta. I have always wanted a Greek/Spartan marine themed chapter but have never got around to it and didn't want to jump onto the wagon with the whole 300 movie craze. This army is an attempt to stick to both an army list and modelling theme, I already own a somewhat never ending large (9,000 point) space wolves army and thought I needed a break from them with a project that would have an end (Hopefully). This army is coinciding with 6th more by accident and was never intended as the “new edition new army” that GW will probably push. It is more a tale of two gamers with a gaming friend who is starting a death korp engineer army. http://z4.invisionfree.com/Boot_Camp/index...showtopic=14712. The aim is to slowly build, paint and game until we decide the armies are done. So the idea is to use the Blood Angel Codex to create a pure jump list themed army around Dante, Sanguinary guard and assault squads. Here is my rough 1,500 point list that I will aim to build and paint. Its compact, fast and packs a punch. This is in the dying days of 5th edition so I will have to see how it goes in 6th, hopefully it doesn't become super useless or super great and stays an army that is situational good and relies a lot on careful planing and placement of units. Commander Dante – 225 Librarian: Jump Pack, Blood Lance, Shield of Sanguinius – 125 Sanguinary Priest: Power Weapon, Jump Pack – 90 Sanguinary Priest: Power Weapon, Jump Pack – 90 Sanguinary Guard Squad (5): 2x Infernus Pistol, Chapter Banner – 250 Sanguinary Guard Squad (5): 2x Infernus Pistol – 220 Assault Squad (10): Power Fist, Infernus Pistol, 2x Meltagun – 250 Assault Squad (10): Power Fist, Infernus Pistol, 2x Meltagun – 250 This represents lots of time spent on ebay (international) amassing all the parts I require for the army. The vast majority is 8 boxes of sanguinary guard and the spartans head and shields from scibor. Lots of spare parts to sell on ebay, hopefully I can recoup some costs of the army as I have no need for 8 blood angel banners or dozens of blood angel heads. Without any further ado I present my initial works, my jump pack librarian. And my first assault squad. I haven't attached the wings yet as it will make painting easier, same with the shields and heads. And finally a size comparison. Comments and criticism would be appreciated.

JamesI Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Love it so far, looking forward to seeing them painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darknightdrako Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Great Kit Bashing. I am also planning to do the same but using the max mini bits. Have you seen their White Lotus tribe helmets and shields? I much prefer it over the scibor ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping goat Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Are those the 21mm Scibor shields or the 17mm ones? I realise this topic is extreamly old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 My Chapter too has some Greek/ Spartan themes, but I'm only really going to make it present in the characters/ veterans. The kit bashing here is awesome but it has taught me I'm not the biggest fan of the round shield on Marines or the helmets with face showing through, full enclosed or bust for me. Keep it up though can't wait to see that Libby painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
