Kierdale Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I too really like those short-barrelled guns. May well have to steal that ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303921-the-scion-army-cometh-now-with-more-scions/page/2/#findComment-3973846 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 They look cool, surprisingly different for a few changes. I agree that the stubby guns look brilliant! Great stuff, I'm looking forward to seeing them painted :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303921-the-scion-army-cometh-now-with-more-scions/page/2/#findComment-3974030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 They do look good. I gotta say though, and it's probably my experience with carbines, they just don't feel like a good fit. I'd like get my hands on some of the rifles from the FW Elysian drop troops. Actualy I want some of the models for them since they look so darn cool. They like the tempestus really shine as an air assault force, which is hard to pull off in 40k (I've done it with my wolves, but it's suboptimal with an assault focused army like that).

WarriorFish Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 It's somewhat reliant on the dice rolls, as if your reserves go badly it can be curtains before the fat lady starts singing :P That said the whole game is down to dice rolls in the end, so why not go all in? All or nothing is how the Guard likes to work anyway, and an air Stormie force looks fantastic on the table top :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303921-the-scion-army-cometh-now-with-more-scions/page/2/#findComment-3974275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All or nothing is how the Guard likes to work anyway, and an air Stormie force looks fantastic on the table top Oh I agree, it does look good. It is also terrifying when it goes off without a hitch. The only problem is you gotta get something out there first turn that can start killing things and stay alive until you can get your troops on the table. It's one reason I'll be using my space wolves as allies, they can get the stuff on the table first turn and get it stuck in hard. I intend to put Murderfang and Bjorn up front with Logan and a group of first turn deepstriking assault termies, and I'll have my knight behind them with two taurox primes with command squads pushing up the field, laying down some templates. T2 the Valks come in bringing the main force.

Father Mehman Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Good speed on the building, Sox! Anywho, great job and hopefully you'll love painting all of them. They're fantastic models and your conversion on the weapons is brilliant.

captain sox Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 The first 30 man Platoon, and 5 man Command Squad. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150427_145341_zpsphu3aboh.jpg This is Command Squad II ready to be primed and painted http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150427_145500_zpsydqyq41q.jpg Annnnnnd the Test Model: http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150421_204941_zpshkuqnxdq.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_20150421_204933_zps1ohkkqvj.jpg I chopped off the antenna and light scope on the carapace armour (except on the test model) For some reason, I didn't like the look of it, plus I found a lot of the antennas broke off. They have a more streamlined look now. I started building the second platoon and the 3rd command squad. Maybe by the weekend I'll have it done. I decided to go radical and do purple. I like purple. It's quite a stunning colour on these models. It's a sloppy quick paint job to see what it would look like, and I'm really happy with the result. enjoy!

librisrouge Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I hate to be a downer (but it comes so naturally) but...grenade launchers? How many soldiers are really paying points to downgrade their weaponry? Other than that, it is such a cool thing to see. Suddenly I want more Kasrkin. Much more.

How many soldiers are really paying points to downgrade their weaponry? Other than that, it is such a cool thing to see. Suddenly I want more Kasrkin. Much more. Oh it's all good. Just variety. Don't want every squad to look exactly the same now. I'm sure the flamers on BS 4 Models will roll some eyes too. But each squad has a purpose, because after all, these (and the Taurox's) will be the majority of whats on the table.

Kontakt Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Grenade launchers are a weapon I like, especially for a command squad. It keeps them back, but able to deliver high STR firepower at a decent distance. That said, plasma is better overall if you can afford the points. or you really need a str 4 small blast.
