I want to paint all the Legions

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...

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. 

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..... <_<

Looking forward to your 1st legion interpretation!

 

Will you do fluff for them? That's my big draw

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 devil.gif

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

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).
