Still waiting for my tactical squad...

 

But its nice to see all the great stuff people are coming up with. 

 

EDIT: changed a thing on my objective, captain wargear, only 10 pts diference. Emh... Im probably going to be tweaking the captains wargear a bit until I find a combo I like. Going for the rule of cool.

I'll do a paint order on Payday and pick up a cheap tactical squad. That'll allow me to do Vaylund Cal and a Demi Squad. That way it can be the beginnings of a small Sons of Medusa force......how many allies can you have in a standard game? :p

 

My crusader force is slowly becoming a reality.

look forward to this. Trying to fgure out how to set 1&3/4 co of Red Scorpions and !&1/2 cos of Minotaurs. Hobby area is being fixed up.

Here are some replies to folks with questions. Will try to respond to as much as I can when I get the opportunity....

Leviathus: That Astral Claw is superb Brother, everything about it works so well, choice of armour, pose, painting and base. More please smile.png

Honda: So glad to hear your group is starting a Badab War Campaign. It will be worth it. Would love to see your take on a Badab War Chapter.

Freakiq: Sweet Bababolonian Mary Jesus! Thats a sight for sore eyes! Love the Mohawk on your Chaplain! Librarian is a work of beauty also!

Deus ex Ferrum: Nice idea doing one of each. Believe me I have thought about doing it myself but know that for me, that path will lead to distraction from my Raptors. I will love to see this done my Iron shod friend. Also I thoroughly enjoyed typing your name in every single loyalist chapter. Kind of got into a trance.. Deus ex Ferrum, Deus ex Ferrum, Deus ex Ferrum......biggrin.png

Magic Man: You know you can break down your objectives, if you want you can just pledge to do the Librarian. Then move on to the Dreadnought or Tactical squad. Of-course if you feel pledging all of that will help motivate your self then carry on Brother!! PS: you know I love your stuff, Maybe a helmeted laurelled head for your captain?

ShVagYeR: Love both your Howling Griffons and Old Scool Errants, Glad this log has made you pick thm up againsmile.png

henriklundback: I second the shouts for more pics!

Kurgen The Lurker: Great to see your classics here Boss. Do you think you will be sharing some of Argos' Salamanders here?

Jimbo13: Nice Exorcist is the Pad of a plastic Librarian or a greenstuff sculpt?

Hannibal Adats: I like your take on the Sons of Medusa. Nice to see the two new command tanks.Have you used them in a game yet and if so how did they perform? Also love your Prometheus Land Raider (I have a soft spot for the early Forgeworld Land Raiders!) Great stuff mate.

Uprising: The Ghost Scarab's on Redth is an inspired idea. Looking forward to seeing him painted.

Spectre: How many badab war Chapter do you currently have? Great work as always buddy!

Stoneheart: Devastators look stunning Bro.

Inquisitor Eisenhorn, Jpwyrm, talonatreyu, Silverghost_90: Sneaky Sneaky Raptor Lovin!!

Silverghost_90: As Stoneheart says but here is some more options and help http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141716-posting-and-hosting-images-at-the-bc/

Grand Magnus: Love the new avatar pic by the way Brother

Brother Tyrax: Looking forward to seeing your Sons of Medusa. If they're anything near as good as your Marines Malevolent then its Treat time for the Bionic Brethren!

UPDATED TO THIS POINT

Sorry to double post-

Pictures of my soon to be Exorcists 3rd Company Champion. I just love the scheme!!! I want to try to give him real and proper fluff. So I'm using this as a place for thoughts. I used a variety of bitz as you can tell. One of the most fun conversion I've gotten to do. I tried to keep it kinda simple. My favorite part is the helmet.

 

Brother-Champion Kaayvan Caes: "The Lion of the Third"

Love to hear your thoughts folks!!!! 

 

Question, what do y'all think would be better for the lion shoulder pad, bronzey/copper or a silver?

So I had a play about with what models I had, various projects and ideas and I decided to consolidate it all into a small 1000point Unbound Sons of Medusa force to pack a hard punch. Here is Iron Thane Vaylund Cal with his Huscarls mounted in their War-Karve and an escort of Saga-Forged.

The Big Man himself.

His Huscarls led by Hersir Amagan

The War-Karve

The Saga-Forged

med_gallery_41766_10959_92231.jpg

These are Iron Clad Dreadnoughts, missing their CCW currently as I have to order some right hand versions from eBay. Pictured below is my Seismic Hammer/Chainfist. The idea behind is the force of the CCW provides the stopping power while the grinding claw in conjunction with the dual meltas cut through any bulkhead/armour plating before unleashing a torrent of either flamer fire or a hail of storm bolter rounds at extreme close range.

Here is the vanguard of War Clan Atropos.

med_gallery_41766_10959_92570.jpg

The idea I have is to either run it on it's own for small games at my local club or run it in conjunction with both of my other forces. War Clan Atropos pushing the right flank, Razorback mounted assault veterans from the Knights Vermilion rushing the left flank, all the while an implacable advance from my Marines Malevolent form a punishing firing line. That's the idea anyway. However, it's strictly War Clan Atropos of the Sons of Medusa for this thread, and who knows, maybe I'll add two squads of Tactical's to it later on and make it a legal army! biggrin.png

Hope you enjoy!

Im in :-).....

Need a break from the Heresy for a bit and Badab sounds great

 

As for objective...i think a 5 man squad of carcharadons to start with

 

And as we have a 3 joke limit....i think my first joke will be.....has anyone got any forgeworld carcharadons transfers going spare????

Laugh away :-D

Issadon 2015


Librarian 2015



Hopefully this works... If not It's supposed to be my take on Issadon and my Librarian that currently has no name! They are still both WIP and I'll post more pics when they are done!!


My pledge for this month is to finish half my tactical squads.. I have six to do biggrin.png


@Yak - Thanks for this thread, it's helped my motivation no end!!!

I know I am late to the party but I do have a TON of Soul Drinkers that are e-bay bound however if i could be apart of this i would love to make some Star Phantoms! let me know!

No worries man! You can join anytime! :D Love to see more Star Phantoms.

I have a forgeworld Carharodon transfer sheet left over from my 3rd predation fleet. Used up maybe 10% of it. You can check my signature and see what I used on the models... Anywayyyyyyyyy I can mail you what I have left if you want biggrin.png

Cheers

Thank you. Haven't had a chance to use the command tanks yet as I need a new case to transport the Sons but I am very much looking forward to trying them out.

 

Brother Tyrax is that the plasma blastgun off an epic FW Warhound on Vaylund's back? Also I love what you've done with the dreadnoughts.

 

Now, my first objective is going to be getting these guys painted before the end of the month. These are the guys who will be riding in the Land Raider Excelsior :D

Hopefully I'll get some time over the next few days to post up some shots of the rest of the army with a little accompanying fluff :D

Bashed some more Sons of Medusa up, got some Tacticals on order and some Plasma Cannons plus the paints so I should be able to work painting the Big Man in a few days. Only problem I'm coming up against is trying to source a Right Arm Dreadnought CCW that doesn't cost the bloody earth. I need two and I just can't justify spending the price of a Tactical Squad for two. At this rate I might just give them Hurricane Bolters and be done with it.

Anyway, onto the work. So instead of just making this an unbound allied detachment, I decided to upgrade it to a full army. 1500 points of face punchy goodness for Badab. I started two Tactical Squads and tinkered with my rescued Predator to make it an Executioner, what do you guys think? Does it work?

med_gallery_41766_10959_50761.jpg

med_gallery_41766_10959_15592.jpg

List comes to 1515 points.

Vaylund Cal

Assault Terminators

Land Raider Redeemer

Twin Iron Clads

Twin Plasma block Tactical Squads

Predator Executioner with ignores cover LoG

I have considered maybe bumping it to 1750 with a Dual claw plasma blaster Contemptor later on down the line to lead the Ironclads into battle. Which is a nice idea provided I ever find some Right Arm CCW's for the buggers.

Cheers for looking,

BT

I like the Predator conversion in theory, but my practical side is screaming about how the cupola is going to block about 60% of the shots that turret makes to its forward quadrant.

Stick his head in or get singed ears :p

 

I've left it so the plasma cannons can be raised and lowered and I'd run out of rhino caps so had to use the "You're good for another foot, Dave" set up.

Instead of waiting around for a box of Tactical Marines to come in, I think I have enough extra Marines to assemble for my SoM squad. I can hopefully get some of them assembled and pics up tonight.

 

They'll be nothing special, just a 10-man Tac squad, and I'm not sure on their loadout right yet.
