abraxus Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The cents use a 50mm base, Ogryns are 40 (I think) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306143-skitarii-best-allies/page/2/#findComment-4015470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakuth Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm thinking for Fluff reasons, if I wanted to add a small Mechanicum 'handler' group to my Skitarii I could use: SM MotF modeled as the Magos SM Scouts modeled as Thrall SM Centurions Devs modeled as Myrmidons SM Dreadnought modeled as Castellax Sound ok? Taking the Gene Bulked humans idea, would love to see some Ogryn bodies (with the Armour and riot shields) mixed with the Centurion and Skitarii kits, could make for some awesome Myrmidons D: So, I got photoshopping and mocked this up.... If the base size on the Centurions and Ogryns are the same this is seemingly to scale... Oh dear... http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/myrmidon_zpswvcf5lxt.jpg I think there is potential in mixing the kits though, especially with some of the Skitarii parts. Or is it time to put the digital paintbrush down? If you wanted to run assault centurions, you could always use the FW Charonite Ogryns as a base? http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/SOLAR_AUXILIA_OGRYN_CHARONITE_SQUAD.html They already have the 'hands' for it, and would possibly require less work to turn into a counts-as unit.

Battybattybats Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Charlo i must say i think that looks good, if the parts go together as well as your digital assemblage then i'd say go for it!

Charlo Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yeah they do look very Admech! Especially the tank treads. They'll look from the side with all of the wiring and power exhaust (that even has the mech symbol on it!) Â And sadly while assault Centurions are cool they are are seemingly nigh useless on the table top :( rule of cool only goes so far!

Emperor's Furor Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Might have to ally them with admech soon if what's being said is true and they are separate.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 30k is only really seperate if you decide it to be. FW largely don't care, they just say 'YMMV, 30k stuff pays a premium for some stuff because it's rarer, like Stubborn or Fearless for example'. Barring some of the Lords of War stuff, and a few of the Heavy Supports in Legion lists, there isn't much stuff thats gonna ruin 40k.  In my player group we allow 30k because it's fun and adds a new element to the mix up. Thus far it hasn't proven to be too bad. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306143-skitarii-best-allies/page/2/#findComment-4017953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorbored Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Good ol' Space Marines.  I use Tactical Squads in Rhinos to provide cover for advancing Vanguard and Ruststalkers/Infiltrators, distract with drop-pod dreadnoughts, and mop up with Onagers.  Honestly I don't see not having transports as being a tactical killer. An Aegis Line (that they can take in their Maniple detachment) will provide them plenty of cover. Rangers, Ballistarius, and Onagers have great range. It's only the Vanguard that need to get closer, and having them hiding behind some moving Rhinos works just fine. With so many things getting Dunestrider or Move Through Cover and Relentless, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to get to grips with the enemy quite quickly and protect your models by getting them into assault. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306143-skitarii-best-allies/page/2/#findComment-4018533 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Amarel Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 We've seen a lot more about the AdMech since the last post in this thread, so to keep related 'general allies' talk in a single place I'm bumping this up. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306143-skitarii-best-allies/page/2/#findComment-4045588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Well, I have been considering GK + Skits lately. You have FA Rhinos, you have Flamers, you have majicks and you have tough customers taking the attention up front. Skits can then deal with AV, which GK struggle with at range, and kill air. Sounds good to me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306143-skitarii-best-allies/page/2/#findComment-4045639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott80 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Immursturm, I like the GK idea too. Â Im a GK player and as you said they have the av weakness. Also they are expensive. Add in some cheaper Skitarii with some AV fire power and it might work nicely.

Charlo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 NDKs lend themselves to big nasty walker conversions too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306143-skitarii-best-allies/page/2/#findComment-4046142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 If you ask me, converted NDK is the only way to play them anyway.

Vel'Cona Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That is literally the first thing I thought of when I saw an NDK for the first time. "Why is he strapped in like a toddler?" Such a bad model/concept. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306143-skitarii-best-allies/page/2/#findComment-4046461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
