captain sox Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hey folks, I'm back. After a few months of fighting real life demons, I have found my way back to the light, and to the hobby. I came up with a project that is exciting and motivating, that incorporates my armies together. I have Dark Angels, Astra Militarum, Militarum Tempestus and Imperial Knights (well, singular at the moment). Together, they will form my yet to me named army, on a crusade to eradicate the universe of the emperors foes. Specifically relating to this forum, I decided that all of my models will be in Carapace Armour. And what better Armour / Models are there than the Scion models. In my mind the army will look awesome. I'll post my thoughts in a bit on what the AM / MT contingent will look like. Stay tuned!!

Father Mehman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Daemons are always fun to fight- real life or not. Just make sure you beat them and it's not the other way round . Anyway, we both seem to share the same goal: the horizon filled with Scions. It's a good goal.

librisrouge Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Oooooh, I missed your postings. It inspired me to go with Knights and Scions (Kasrkin) myself, with great success thus far. Of course, being an armor guy, I'm a little more knight heavy than you went.

librisrouge Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't know what you're talking about. I still have seven more Knights I'd ultimately like to own. Assuming more aren't made later.

elmo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Welcome back Sox - (the Commissariat had nearly declared you AWOL) but glad to see you back with such a grand plan.

march10k Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm not *against* scions+knights, but scions+fortifications seems a bit more efficient...frinstance, how much cheaper than a knight with 2x battle cannon is a bunker with 2x battle cannon...that's right, it costs half as much, yet the battle cannon shots could potentially hit two different targets, and the range "um, the whole table" is the same...and the bunker gives the scions 3+ cover, while the knight does not...

Kierdale Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Welcome back, Sox. Now get a brush and get back in the painting trenches! Oh- I'm not a commissar anymore.

captain sox Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Welcome back. Thanks, just wait til you see the Dark Angels detachment... Good to see you returning victorious to the fold sox, welcome back! Even more so with such a grand idea, I'm looking forward to seeing more Soon... It's good to be back. I was in darkness too long. Welcome back Sox - (the Commissariat had nearly declared you AWOL) but glad to see you back with such a grand plan. Looking forward to seeing your updates. If only you could get multi-pose Kasrkin Thanks Elmo!

It's more than Knights and Scions. Terminators and Bullgryns will be a big part of the "Hammer" of the army. Welcome back, Sox. Now get a brush and get back in the painting trenches! Oh- I'm not a commissar anymore. This will have to suffice: He upon the Golden Throne wants you back in those trenches NOW! Will be posting my vow soon To all the others I haven't mentioned directly, thanks for the warm welcome back. This forum and the people who post are the best of the best.

captain sox Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Here's a list of units that I will be a part of my AM / MT detachments. Not sure of how many of each I'll have, but IT will be quite a lot. Also to note, this is more of a modelling army, not a playing army. So load out / options aren't really that important. Astra Militarum Detatchment: HQ: Lord Commissar in Carapace Armour / Kell, Creed, Yarrick Command Squad in Carapace Armour Troops: Veteran Squad(s): Grenadier option with Carapace Armour Some Taurox for the veterans. Nukes to hang back. Elites: Scion Platoon, up to 3 Scion Units Scion Command Squad Bullgryns Militarum Tempestus Detachment Lord Commissar in Carapace Armour Scion Command Squad or 2 Scions Galore! A whole bunch of Taurox and Valkyries Ooooooooh! Aaaaaaaaaah!

captain sox Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sooooo, I've started painting my Commissar and Command Squad: Commissar http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150305_200241_zpsoel76rzw.jpg Example of paint scheme. It's half Caliban / Black combo. What do you think? Looks awesome on Terminators.Still need to paint the trim of the armour, but at least you get an idea what the force will look like :) http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150305_200336_zpshb1gg7tv.jpg Still lots of work to do. But it's progress. Purple is the HQ colour for the Combined forces that I'm creating Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303921-the-scion-army-cometh-now-with-more-scions/#findComment-3970518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Impressive work so far. I like the imaginative use of 'Warhammer Fantasy Battle' bits.

scatmandoo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Welcome back! Great idea on a combined use of all your models too.

Isiah Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nice. I find the black/green colours too close to be easily distinguishable - maybe because there is so little armour? But can see it working well on power armour and vehicles :tu:.

captain sox Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I thought I had pictures on my phone of my first squad of 10 Scions, but apparently I don't. But I here's the first 10 Carapace Vets. Probably do a few more of these squads, with various load outs. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150309_191222_zpsxttfeowv.jpg Easy conversion to make them from the scion kits. You do have to pick and choose carefully which arms fit with which weapon. Its unfortunate that you have so many leftover mis-matched guns / arms etc. Simply cut off the antennae and scopes from the armour. Then shorten the hot shot lasgun, cut the hoses and attach the barrel nozzle and viola, a "stubby" lasgun your vets can carry easily into battle. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150309_191303_zpsblrvljhm.jpg Have a few more kits to play with: http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150307_163836_zpsn2pxmroi.jpg stay tuned!

Father Mehman Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 These "stubby" guns look great! That really sets them apart as veterans of the elite. Your idea has been stolen for the good of the greater Imperium !
