Building the Gorgon's Legion

[Russ Brother 92]

Right - I am (in preparation for the release of Massacre later this year) building the Iron Hands - I'll be making it a Pride of the Legion force for two main reasons - 1 I like terminators and want scoring Terminators and 2 it cuts down the overall cost and painting time needed.

 

I've just placed my first order which is - Legion Praetor, Legion Cataphractii Squad (20 Men) and the new IH Contemptor (Conversion Beamer and DCCW + Plasma Blaster), I'm hoping they'll arrive within 10-14 days and then I'll have time to get primer ready for the making :D

 

I shall update this once they arrive and as I build them - I'm hoping to push my painting skills a lot with these guys so will be spending a lot of time getting each one looking different and realistic.

 

I'm also looking at getting another 2 Contemptors, a further 40 Terminators (20 Tartaros and 20 Cataphractii) and upto 30 Morlocks (if they make special models for them) along with the Gorgon himself (which tbh. I won't be painting myself as I'm sure it will be a jaw-dropper).

 

The only non-terminator units I'll have will be vehicles (LRs, Spartans, Storm Eagles, Caestus' and Drop Pods) or Heavy Support squads and Jetbikes - although this may change once Massacre's released as I want it to be themed around a post-massacre force.

 

Any tips or help is grand especially around painting these guys as my only previous painting has been Wolves or Orks so I've never done a black/silver army before and have no idea of how to go about it, especially with the weathering or highlighting black.

 

 

Thanks All

Pride of the Legion lets you field Termies as troops but Termies are always scoring units (whenever Troops are), so even if you don't take the RoW, they'll still be scoring units.
