Xenith Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'm flattered, steal away! I originally wanted him running, but couldn't have done it without cutting up the feet also, I think the stride with the flapping seals gives it enough of a sense of motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) I will also be stealing that pose! Definitely captured the sense of motion even without dicing up the feet. Has to be one of the coolest dread poses I've seen beside maybe some contemptors (I really like contemptors) Edited September 19, 2016 by Brother Lemartes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Personally, I think this is much more imposing than him running. I think it looks great. It looks a lot like he just noticed the guy he's about to charge, so it's that, "Oh :cuss" moment as he craps his pants xD Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Dread is undercoated, and my devastator squads are blocked in and shaded: PROGRESS! Pics up soon, hopefully. EDIT: So, rather than spamming the Army Building zone with multiple lists, here's an idea for a Lost Brotherhood with Lucifer Task force: 125 DC Chaplain 125 DC Chaplain 115 5xDC, packs 115 5xDC Packs 115 5xDC, power sword 160 DCD, drop pod 50 Techmarine 240 Land Raider Redeemer 145 Tri Las Pred, Dozer Blade 145 Tri Las Pred, Dozer Blade 120 Baal Pred, Flamestorm, Dozer 1455. A little room for other stuff at 1500pts. Foot DC go with the Techmarine in the raider. Wall of AV 13 protects the death company. Alternatively, swap the servo arm for a jump pack and put the tech with a DC unit to give them scout. Edited October 13, 2016 by Xenith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Very similar to what I came up with. DC Chap is 125, not 135 I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm actually trying to run a very similar list for a game this weekend. I just have the DC fitted with more special weapons due to how they are modeled, not for any specific reason. Probably should take less power fists at this point level, but I want to use the guys I have ready. I also plan on using a 2nd Baal with Assault cannon/bolter sponsons, but that is just due to what I have available. I'll be up against a decurion, so I might get wrecked by the gauss... But I'll be sure to let everyone know how it went! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Looks good! I'd add a few more bodies in to the DC squads with the remaining points. Maybe a fist too or something :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) So there's a few fewer free points than I though, due to the need to have 1+ command choice meaning minimum 2 DC Chaplains. I Wish you could use regular chaplains in this. Hmm. Might need to rework. I see the tanks as doing the brunt of the heavy lifting here. The Annihilators could be swapped for auto las destructors, saving 50pts, and the redeemer maybe upgraded to a phobos? I need to think what I need more, S6 AP3 scotuing templates or TL L ascannons.

Damon Nightman Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 This will probably not work out, but I'm planning on saving some points by not giving the DC dread a pod. I'm hoping the extra 6in move and hiding behind AV 13 will work out, but we'll see. My necron opponent is pretty fearful of my dread after our last outing, so it may lead to him ignoring the side the Dread is on allowing me to cap some objectives... It will probably just be gaussed to death though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Removing Necrons from the equation (screw Gauss...) in general, having no pod is somewhat viable. You shore up a side of the field with a Dread who could potentially be 18" forward after turn one with a good run move, so has a potential 30" threat range (minimum 15").

Xenith Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 And a quick WIP sho of the Devastators They're actually a lot more done than the photo suggests. I just need to do final detailing, highlights, maybe some freehand, then glue them together. Never painting a 10 man unit at once again.

Charlo Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Something about BA Devs has some crazy strong imagery with me. Probably from some old 2nd Ed Art. Looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your rewards are spread more evenly to keep motivation levels high! Fully painting 5, and having them table ready, then starting on the next one drip feeds the good feeling, while this feels like a never ending slog. With less details on the models, I can crank out a 10 man squad in a weekend (like my previous assault squad), while these guys...even with red spray base coat it's taking forever, Ah! Still gotta send you those banners you asked for! Yes please! You can see that squad leader on the front left that needs something else to mark him out for snipers.
