Brendaen Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Some of you have seen my Armored Company:http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306427-the-67th-division-3rd-armored-company/Originally, I had only intended on adding 2 small units of Scions with a Commissar, but after reading this forum over the last couple of weeks, I've decided on a much larger force. My Special Missions detachment will consist of a Command squad, 3 eight man Scion units, and four Taurox Primes.These were originally built as plain Tauroxes, but after reading about how good the Primes are, I added the Missile launchers. I don't like the Autocannons on the side, so I left the on the turret, which meant raising the missile launcher up in order for it to fire over it. My next two Primes will have the Gatling guns, but I will need to find an alternate place to mount the volley guns.This is my force so far. A Commissar, an Inquisitor (cause they are cool), a command squad, and 3 eight man scion units. More progress pics to come.

WarriorFish Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Looks like a good start to me, give us some close ups once you've done a bit more on the troopers :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308558-67th-division-3rd-battalion-the-iron-tide/#findComment-4067253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Argos Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I do love the wheeled Tauroxes, they are so much nicer looking than GW tracked version. What colors are you planing for your Infantry?

Brendaen Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 They will painted to match my veterans, gray uniforms with royal blue accents. I'm waiting on some beret heads that I ordered from Mad Robot and Maxmini, along with some resin bases before I continue. I'm also going to add a 4th eight man squad to put in a Taurox and use the command squad with their 4 meltas as a deep strike unit. Eventually, I will add a 5th squad (probably 10 man) and put my Commissar warlord with them in bunker, somewhere in my back field.

Ceddyn Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Your armoured company looks really nice, I can't wait to see more from you. I do love the wheeled Tauroxes, they are so much nicer looking than GW tracked version. What colors are you planing for your Infantry? So true, they look a lot more like a real vehicle with wheels.

Vel'Cona Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Agreed, your armored company is very impressive! Glad you started this thread because it gave me a bit of reference to your earlier work. Look forward to seeing those Scions painted up!

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Indeed. Once you get a few fully done, can we see some close ups? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308558-67th-division-3rd-battalion-the-iron-tide/#findComment-4072067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendaen Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Definitely. I hope to get started painting this next week. Just got the wheeled conversion sets for my a second two Tauroxes. As for the force itself, I don't really plan on doing a full Scion force, but a mix of combination of AM veterans and Scions. The force: Primary Combined AM force: A fully kitted out Commissar Lord. ( I love Commissars. I've always used them and rarely am I disappointed. There's also the cool and fluff factor. My two favorite characters in the 40k verse are Commissars, Giant and Cain) 2 to 3 Mechanized Veteran units. At least one will be shotguns, 2 meltas, heavy flamer, and Sgt with power Axe - this is the Commissar's unit. 2 to 3 LRBT variants. Because I love tanks. A combined arms detachment of Scions. Command squad with 4 meltas, either deep striking or riding in a Gatling gun Prime. I didn't want this as the Warlord because it will be a 'big game' hunter/suicide squad 3 to 4 eight man units of Scion in Primes. I think that gives me fluffy and semi competitive force..

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It looks like you've got a nice sizeable platoon going there. If you choose to field them in an AM CAD, you can only take 3 squads and one Command squad per platoon.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 How did you elevate the missile launchers to see over the turret? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308558-67th-division-3rd-battalion-the-iron-tide/#findComment-4072805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm curious about that, too. On that note, did you buy conversion kits for the wheels or are those custom?

Brendaen Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 The wheeled conversion sets are from Blood & Skulls eBay store (they also have an awesome Chimera conversion set that I've used). The storage/ammo boxes from the SM Rhino sets fits perfectly between the two missile launchers and elevates just over the turret. And, hey, I'm ex-military, you grab a nap anytime you can....

Brendaen Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I had given a Scion model to buddy of mine so he could complete his Inquisitor unit, so I came up one model short to finish my 3 ten man Scion squads and command unit. I had a box of SM Scouts, so I tried making one of my Scion Sgts using a Scout body. The Scion arms look awesome on Scout bodies. It looked so great that I used the remaining 4 Scout bodies to make some officers for my AM army. Here is my Power axe wielding Sgt next to a regular Scion Sgt: Next are two AM officers. One with a power fist (Note the Arnold Schwarzenegger head) and one with a power sword: My last two officers. One with plasma pistol and an Axe wielding officer that I Space-wolf'd out with some extra SW bits I had: I really liked how they turned out and will probably paint them up as soon as I get my Tauroxes finished.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 One thing I have to say I like about the Scion models is that they make some pretty good characters. I want to get another box of them, to make Sgt Kell and Lord Creed (counts as of course), and some other commander type models, like a Commissar/Officer with power fist.

Brendaen Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm trying to come up with a good name for my task force. They are Urban Combat specialists that I invision coming from a Hive world not far from Fenris, as I have a Space Wolf detachment that I ally with them occasionally.
