bigted Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi everyone I found a box set of 10 metal Kasrkins listed on trademe (New Zealand's version of ebay) that are currently going for 20 NZD (about 15 USD). Here is the link http://www.trademe.co.nz/gaming/war-games/warhammer-40000/auction-842076699.htm My army may be Catachan, but those models are so badass I think I'll bid on them anyway. Hopefully the price doesn't get bid up too much. Do you guys think that 15-20 dollars is decent value? How much is that set worth? I'm thinking of using them as Scions.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Authentic Kasrkin models are usually very expensive on eBay. Prohibitively so for me.

CaptainHelion Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That's a really solid price. I'd say go for it. Kasrkin definitely work great as Scions, and the Cadian style armour will look sufficiently different from your Catachans.

elmo Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I prefer Kasrkin to scions. They just look better imo and that is also why I have 20 in my painting queue. The problem on eBay is that they are popular here so there is always a bidding war. Good luck.

bigted Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Great! That should give me enough time to get some more spray paint and figure out a colour scheme (I was thinking black and red, but we'll see).

march10k Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I prefer Kasrkin to scions. They just look better imo and that is also why I have 20 in my painting queue. The problem on eBay is that they are popular here so there is always a bidding war. Good luck. Hah! I've been more diligent...I planned 3x10+5, and have five regular joes for the last line squad left in my queue...and *gulp* my fourth overpriced flying chimera valkyrie. But once those are done...here comes the air cav! /edit/ Seriously...the air assault formation is a stupidly powerful formation...Okay, it's 1k points, but four BS4 special weapon units that are twinlinked on arrival, 3/4 are superscoring, and they deploy (from the birds) wherever the hell you want on the table while denying the enemy a few turns of shooting at them? SOLID GOLD. Combine that with some kinda cheap-but-resilient base of 2x troops and an HQ and the air cav will break enemy hearts...I like the idea of an imperial defense network of one of each required element plus a VWB (2x quad iacarus) and one firestorm redoubt (2x battle cannon) (540 points, I think) manned by two IG veteran squads and an HQ squad. That gives you enough anti-air to sweep the skies and make them safe for the air cav plus enough protection to keep the troops alive until the valks arrive. The HQ squad gets the +1 to reserves rolls guy, and the two battle cannons replicate some tank support. It might not be auto-win, but it seems like it'd be fun...Of course, I have to finish my second VWB quad icarus, paint my dual-BC firestorm, and buy and paint the defense line sections before I can try this...

librisrouge Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'd be with you there (I'm working on my own Kasrkin) except that the formation Scions do not have Objective Secured. They are not part of a CAD but rather their own detachment, so they get not benefit from CAD bonuses. They only get their formation bonuses over just unit entry stuff. Still, it is a good formation.

march10k Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 That's true...without "objective secured," they have to rely on killing everyone they meet...
