Kilofix Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Well, not exactly but I feel like maybe I want to collect and paint just one squad of the unique Terminator unit and the other unique unit from every 30K Legion. Will take some time funding and acquiring but eventually.... Just thinking out loud.

Captain Semper Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I know the feeling... A such, i have set a task for myself: To paint a 1,500pts army from one Legion before I move to the next. Furthermore I add the constraint that I will build the list of said 1,500 pts and stay true it no matter what awesome stuff comes out of FW during that time (even if these are items for the Legion that I'm currently building). I wanted to add a further time restriction of 6 months but have failed that already due to real life constraints... Further constraint that I"m considering is to force myself to take a Rite of War - either one of the generic ones found in Betrayal or Legion-specific ones found in the other books. For my first such endeavour I have chosen the Emperor's Children and as I'm in the final stages I'm already considering my next project which I really want it to be the SoHs - if I could only master the sea green in some consistent way... That way I stay focused, take the need to paint that particular Legion out of my system and at the end of the day I can even play a game with it if the opportunity arises (fat chance). It's a long term commiment and I'm not even sure I'll go for all Legions but certainly a few of them will find their way to my painting station...

Hyaenidae Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 At one point, far in the future, I'm planning on painting every Unification era scheme for every one of the Old Legions. Especially the War Hounds. Damn you, Angron, for ruining the coolest Legion ever.....

Relict Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 With the white-over-blue scheme, the War Hounds suddenly look more like smurfs than the Ultrasmurfs themselves... Smurfs with chainaxes. I know the feelings. I have committed myself to gathering a 3000-point tabletop army of World Eaters first. Once that has been accomplished, my painting skills should be honed enough to allow me to tackle some special units from other Legions for display purposes only. Who knows... Maybe my World Eaters will be getting a small allied detachment of Word Bearers. Just to make the Shadow Crusade era force more authentic.

Daemon2027 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I feel the same. There are so many Legions I want to paint. I'm just trying to finish off my ETL vow then start on some Night Lords, but if some Raven Guard drop tomorrow, I m in trouble.

SW1 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Lol ... I'm wanting to do something similar. But maybe just a few models for each legion. Semper your crazy wanting full armies for each of them. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291053-i-want-to-paint-all-the-legions/#findComment-3686773 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 At one point, far in the future, I'm planning on painting every Unification era scheme for every one of the Old Legions. Especially the War Hounds. Damn you, Angron, for ruining the coolest Legion ever..... Unification era Legionaries.....hmmmm. You could have some cool fluff about relationships between different Legions before they really developed into the incarnations we know now. Ohhhhh that's given me an idea for allegiances between my Iron Hands and some Dusk Raiders cos they both recruited from Old Albia and have similar outlooks & characters. Now to develop some background for a DG formation Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291053-i-want-to-paint-all-the-legions/#findComment-3687748 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each one will have, at one point, fought alongside Phelan Mahdra of my Dragoons. Should be fun.

Grotsmasha Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yep, know that feeling, I plan on each Primarch with a unique PA and TDA unit from each Legion. So EC would be Fulgrim, Palatine Blades and Phoenix Guard.

grand_master85 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 See this, is why I'm happy with my Alpha Legion army. I get to do a Legion I truly love AND at the same time can have one of each special unit from every Legion to fill my need to have everything (I Want It All by Queen is apparently my theme song).

Cerbero666 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I've decided to start a couple of Strike Forces from Extermination, one loyalist and one traitor, that way I can paint different legions and units. But I don't know where to start. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291053-i-want-to-paint-all-the-legions/#findComment-3688370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
