Kol Saresk Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Now, as a departure from its intended use, I think this list could work very well to represent the various Tech-Barbarians of Old Night. Albian Ironsides, Caucasian Ur-Khasis, Ur:cusse whatevers… crappy or unstable weapons, pariah "Mk1" power armor, and Chymeria genetic unstability. Ooooh, dreams.I would argue that is within the intended use. The Blackshields are supposed to represent all of the various "Astartes-like" forces that popped in the Heresy, but had no clear allegiances. Thunder Warriors and techno-barbarians who survived to the Heresy? Would definitely fit the bill in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Armies of Dark Compliance thread again, I think with book VI we can perfectly play an Unification-era force, be it Imperial or Barbarian. Seriously, we need Heathens back.

Strazhakov Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I believe I've finally found my HH army. Everyone of my favourite Legions had some little thing that stopped me from commiting. *Night Lords = Afraid of painting freehand lightning *Death Guard = Don't like their colour scheme at all *Iron Warriors = Everyone and their mother does them, don't like painting chevrons, nerfed Tyrants ruined my planned list *Sons of Horus = Don't like playing losers eventhough I like the Black Legion and Abbadon *Alpha Legion = Ruined by memes, metallic looking colour scheme only by airbrush, Headhunters suck even more now also the Ork helmets are meh Now I can play them all together kind of and even get to keep a cool easy black/silver/grey paint scheme. Also the army is customizable as hell and somewhat of a converters wet dream. Going to play Infantry heavy with lots of Jump Pack units, Seekers and Destroyers. Aggresive melee supported by close range firepower. Not settled on the fluff yet but Í'm thinking of either some kind of penance unit of crazy suicidal outcasts too valuable to execute or some crazed Chymeriae experiments by some renegade Magos Biologis. Another cool idea is the thought of xenos corrupted Astartes...mhm soo many possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brofist Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 You can totally do AL without an airbrush. Just need some rattlecans :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradigm Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 You can also do alpha legion with blue basecoat and a green interference wash. It will turn the blue semi metallic and when the light hits the armor it will reflect green instead of blue, due to the interference paint.

depthcharge12 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Omg I want to do this army so bad but I'm working on my DAs, SoH, and Malinax/Xana force. My ideal army would be mkV armored marauders and contemptor Cortus dreads as a rag tag bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinsanity Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just call 'em Ghostwing and play them as either DAs or shields... (Hmmm, might be a nice 'wing name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use the same things everyone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Sets of Pariah armour / bolter / flamers could have been nice, though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 My Calth set will be used on this. I need the Nemean Reaver image. And I need to make a reaver lord aswell. Hmm MK3 Helm thats for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Sets of Pariah armour / bolter / flamers could have been nice, though :)Eh, see the funny thing is I just keep seeing Mk V as the Pariah armour since it's just supposed to be all ramshackled and everything. I mean, I guess they could come up with something like what was on the cover of the Outcast Dead, just doesn't seem that worth it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 There are so many clues as to the Nemean Reaver's identity, I'm torn as to his identity. On the one more obvious hand he screams of DA descent (Calibanite greatsword!?), but considering that he wields a flaming sword and leads a bunch of Marauders onto war, I'm wondering if he might not be of White Scars origin... I'm left wondering if he might not sport yellow armour ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The Nemean reaver is Omegon. Maybe. I only link him in alphaness due to the Nemean Lion being one of the things hercules/herakles faced. Like the hydra. Maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kol Saresk Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Well it's not a flaming sword, it's a flamberge. Although usually it does translate to "flame-bladed" because of how the blade is "wavy". But typically they're European so that's what leans towards the DA, alongside it having been forged on Caliban apparently. I believe it mentioned his facial scars were the result of xenos weaponry from a specific campaign? Find out what Legion(s) was(were) involved and you'd at least narrow the list. Although I imagine Forgeworld will never release the details just to keep us guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolters/Flamers, no big deal, but when I read 'modified armour' I thought of something that could look quite different from the Legion armour sets.
