Jolemai Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I just got a load of bits in the mail; tonight there will be a lot of gluing done, and I should have the following assembled before tomorrow morning (possibly photos and all). 1 Tactical Squad (All using metal 2nd Ed. figures and modern plastic bits) 1 Command Squad (All using metal 2nd Ed. figures and modern plastic bits) 1 Devastator Squad (3ML, 1LC) All of which are not even in any army plans of mine, but screw that, I love painting pewter. I enjoy it more than finecast but the paint keeps flaking off for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 MSU Death Company looks very promising. I am trying to work out if the Mortalis Formation is good. You don't get the +1I from Red Thirst but you do get a further +1A for being outnumbered which makes MSU even nastier. The DC Dreads are nothing special but at least one can ride in the Storm Raven and the other can get a Pod. Against some foes like Tau and Orks, the extra +1I is unnecessary. Or with 4 Elite slots, is it better to just stick to BSF? MSU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadDice0809 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Multiple Small Units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 MSU? Multiple/Many Small Units. It works on the principle that 2 5-man units have the same killing power as a 10-man unit but are more flexible and efficient. They can target the same target or 2 different targets. They are less likely to be overkill when used against weak targets. They can contest twice as many objectives. Any army that can field small Fearless/ATSKNF units can potentially do MSU pretty well. MSU only suffers if you are playing a scenario where points are awarded for each unit destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) I see! Yeah DC could really work well with that because even only two guys pump out 10 S5 (maybe I5) attacks on the charge, which is more than a lot of units will even give them back on a good day. As for the Mortalis formation it's pretty good I think, even against other I4 the weight of attacks you'll be receiving will never be too much really. As for the DC dreads you have to include, while fragile, if they shoot at them then they aren't shooting at your little pockets of rage elsewhere :D Edited March 16, 2015 by Charlo Lucumon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Unfortunately assembly was not completed last night; stripping old paint took way longer than I though. I am halfway finished though, tonight I hope to finish up and spray, maybe slap some paint on as well, and share some photos, of my 2nd Edition Tactical Squad and 2nd Edition Command Squad. Glorious. The old pewter models look super awesome with the new BA Heavy Flamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may, i would like to post some of my progress in the re-ignition of my blood angels force Start a topic here in the BA sub-forum that you can use as a blog, thats what many of us have done.

Jolemai Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 At the top of the page there is a tab entitled "Gallery". Click that and go to the top right hand side and press the button entitled "upload". From there, create an album and follow the prompts to upload a picture. Once it's there (or if you are hosting it somewhere else), you can add it to a reply by clicking the image button on your reply bar and following the instructions. If you need the bbcode, you need and [ /img] but without the space on the closing bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockwithaticket Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It started life as the sergeant torso from the FW Red Scorpions veteran kithttp://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Red_Scorpions/RED_SCORPIONS_VETERANS_WITH_VETERAN_SERGEANT_HAAS_UPGRADE_PACK.htmlobviously I've scraped away the eagle and scorpion. Then I press moulded the chalice on one of the new BA Terminator storm shields to put in the gap. Required quite a bit of trimming to get it to fit, but I'm pretty happy with the result. Makes for a nice custom piece :)Charlo - thanks, man. Don't know if you've seen it, but I replied to your query on my Deathwatch thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sans Mercy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Real close to finishing this overpriced pretty boy. I might actually use him against a friends new chaos marine army. He just needs a counter balance and a finish coat on the base. j-smuv and JamesI 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
