Remus Ventanus. Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 finally assembled. Shouldnt be too hard to paint as the shields dont really cover the chest area too much. These models are fething amazing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307780-the-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/19/#findComment-4361720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runefyre Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Are you planning a thunder hammer and special base for the central dude? His pose looks just about right for a lowered TH with his right foot on a rock or something. I really need to get me some of these!

I do have a thunder hammer....I was going to put an axe with him also but i ran out of glue! But i do like the hammer idea!

Remus Ventanus. Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 played my first game with my ultras a few days ago, and it was great. I fielded a 10 man tac squad, a praetor, suzies and telemechrus (was a small point game) against imperial guard. Telemechrus performed great, his assualt cannon tearing through light vehicles and infantry, and the suzies are tough as nails(that 5+ and 6+ shield save is nice) One thing i wasnt sure of is what exactly does Telemechrus' hatred for traitor legions special rule do? I couldnt find much on it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307780-the-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/19/#findComment-4373296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runefyre Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Awesome! Care to share more details about your exploits? And yeah Telemechrus is kinda underrated (probably cause he's pretty damn expensive ) but a little known fact is he can force re-rolls on the D-chart, which is pretty fun when it works. Anyway here's the rule in question: Wrath in BetrayalHonoured Telemechrus has the Hatred (Traitor LegionesAstartes) special rule, which applies to all units chosen fromTraitor Legiones Astartes forces.

Anyway here's the rule in question: Wrath in Betrayal Honoured Telemechrus has the Hatred (Traitor Legiones Astartes) special rule, which applies to all units chosen from Traitor Legiones Astartes forces. Sure! Turn 1 was pretty uneventful, none of my men having range to take engage the enemy. The other player was able to take out one of my tacs with a lascannon shot. Turn 2 I was able to get tele in range of a chimera, and luckily had a good view of his side armor. BS 5, so i hit 6 shots on 2, and strength 6 of the assualt cannon vs side armor 10 , i was LUCKILY able to roll 3 4's. That took care of that! My tac squad angaged on of his guardsmen squads, taking down about 4. Suzies were pretty useless this turn, not being able to get them in range of anything. When i did get them in CC, they massacred EVERYTHING. Those axes man..... But yea overall it was a pretty successful victory. I do need some more firepower for taking on stronger enemy vehicles, so ill look into adding some las cannons or even plasma. I also need more armor Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307780-the-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/19/#findComment-4373709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Glad you had fun! The Suzerains are absolutely amazing. Hope to hear more exploits soon!

I have not seen an underworld calth army yet. It's a great opportunity to make a rugged looking force with patchwork armour and sub-optimal equipment, which is a great contrast to the shiny good old boys in blue look everyone portraits them as. It would definitely show the unyielding character of the legion.

Ishagu Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm personally not fond of an army themed to a very specific period or location if you're looking to game with it. Â They'll just look ouf of place if you're fighting in a jungle or forest or in a different scenario...

apologist Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I can see the advantages of both. In the case of a themed army, though, I agree with Wolf_Pack. Â In cases like an Underworld War-themed army, having specific bases is as much a part as the unit choices etc.; and makes for a great 'talking point' army that'll attract much more interest than a generic one. Certainly it might look odd for gaming outside of that narrow scenario, but within that campaign... well, there's nothing like it :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307780-the-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/19/#findComment-4379491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Ventanus. Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 For me personally, the greatest joy I have with this hobby is creating an army that I can attach lore and stories too. I need to have themed army, it just makes it so much more enjoyable to me. Â I might do Underworld. All my favourite characters are there, and I could easily say a knight or two made it down!
