MoGuy Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Are they going to be the same 80's fading blue that looks so awesome? Nice to know that you like it. But no, the Secutarii will probably get a dark green. Thinking about mixing Caliban Green with Incubi Darkness. I have to see how that actually looks next to my blue models but once I have made up my mind, I'll post pictures. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319552-the-expeditions-of-forgeworld-halo-prime-pictures/page/5/#findComment-4505387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoGuy Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Finishing up 10 of my 20 Secutarii Peltasts. Here's the progress so far: http://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/79611c-1475622333.jpg http://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/13ba50-1475622445.jpg Instead of the usual blue I went for a green with a blend into a green-blue at the bottom of the cloak. On the pictures the magnified edgehighlights seem very dominant but in person they look very neat. Almost looks as if the cloak was made from dimly fluorescent material. Base colour is Waagh! Flesh which I gradualy blendet into Incubi Darkness. I might go for a bit more Incubi Darkness since the blend is very subtle... All that's left now is to finish up the purity seals and the guns as well as the bases. C&C is always welcome!

WarriorFish Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Green and blue came out nicely, I prefer seeing the mechanicus cog in the traditional black and white though (I originally had gold too, but changed).

Beardbattered Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 That green looks fantastic! I really like it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319552-the-expeditions-of-forgeworld-halo-prime-pictures/page/5/#findComment-4521549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Very nice Peltasts. I like the Incubi Darkness fade. I wouldn't mind doing that on my own models but the weathering is already done. It's a really nice variant scheme for your army.

MoGuy Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thank you all for the nice feedback. I'll post some pics when they are finished and stand next to my troops with the regular colour scheme. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319552-the-expeditions-of-forgeworld-halo-prime-pictures/page/5/#findComment-4521779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Looking very good :) I've also been experimenting with a green colour scheme for some Skitarii, and found (to my surprise) that having the inside of the cloak be a rather desaturated orange looked rather nice. Is yours going to remain white?

Is yours going to remain white? Do you have any images of your Skitarii yet? I'm happy to see green Skitarii are becoming more common. The codex has Forge Worlds gossiping about each other based on the shade of red they use so having green livery must make us flat out rebellious!

MoGuy Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 So today I finished half of my Secutarii Peltasts. The other 10 models are also assembled but nothing more. Here are some pictures of the Titanguard doing their job: http://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/aad26f-1475710817.jpg http://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/084eaf-1475710831.jpg Their green robes look pretty good next to my blue models. On these pictures, the blend is also better visible. I'm exited to get some games in with these guys. Well, of course mine are going to be traitors Get out of my thread you traitorous scum! This is a place for the true followers of the Omnissiah! :P ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319552-the-expeditions-of-forgeworld-halo-prime-pictures/page/5/#findComment-4522175 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaeron Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Those Peltasts look great MoGuy! I like the fact that their weapons are suitably different from Vanguard/Rangers - really nice aesthetic, and yours look top notch.

MoGuy Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 My forgeworld fired their furnaces into a roaring blaze again and moved out to meet 1850 points of Blood Angels in glorious battle. My Skitarii got some additional help from the Militarum Tempestus Scions and a bit of support from the Inquisition - taken from the new Codex: Imperial Agents. My list: Dominus Maniple 1x Dominus w/ stock gear, 4++ Field and Rayment of the Techno-Martyr 10x Vanguard w/ Omnispex, 3x Arc Rifles 1x Onager Dunecrawler w/ stock gear Skitarii Maniple 2x5 Vanguards w/ Omnispex and 2x Arc Rifles 10x Secutarii Peltasts w/ Omnispex 2x Dragoons 1x Dragoon 1x Onager Dunecrawler w/ stock gear Hellrain Brigade 1x Commissar 5x Tempestus Command Squad w/ 4x Plasma 5x Scions w/ 2x Flamer 1x Taurox Prime w/ Gatling Gun, Hot-Shot Volley Guns and Camo Netting Hellrain Brigade 1x Commissar 5x Tempestus Command Squad w/ 4x HSVGs 5x Scions w/ 2x Melter Taurox Prime w/ Gatling Gun, Hot-Shot Volley Guns and Camo Netting Psykana Division 1x Astropath ML2 5x Wyrdvane Psykers Inqusitorial Representative 1x Ordo Malleus Inquisitor ML1 w/ TDA, Psibolter My opponent's list 4x5 Tac Marines w/ Combi-Melter 4x Razorbacks w/ Plasmagun and Lascannon 3x Furioso Cybots w/ Shrapnel Cannon and heavy flamer 2x5 Sternguard 2x Attack Bikes w/ 2x Multimelter 5x Deathcompany w/ 1x Power Axe 1x Deathcompany Priest 5x Drop Pods Let's go unit by unit: Dominus He joined the Peltasts for nice BS2 overwatch. My opponent really hated him and I have to say that the Dominus is just one of the best tanks in the game. When the Deathcompany charged his squad they killed everyone but him. He deligated the AP2 attacks of the Power Axe to the Peltasts and tanked the rest like a boss. My opponent was staring in awe and remarking that he is just way too cheap for what he can do. I just smiled as I told him that he can also restore a wound each turn on a 2+. Along with the last Dragoon he cut down the Deathcompany and slew his warlord. Vanguards A good chunk of them just got toasted Turn 1 by the two Furioso Cybots and their heavy flamers. No cover, no armour makes the Vanguards sad. :( But I my big squad of Vanguard were protected for the most part, since my Inquisitor in his 2+ pants joined them and tanked the flamer wounds for them without breaking a sweat. All in all they were really solid, as in every game I have played with them. They reliably stripped off HP from vehicles and Dreadnaughts and my opponent again remarked that they are just too cheap for what they can do. I don't blame him, the fury of a forgeworld is a sight to behold after all. :P Peltasts Since the Blood Angles had first Turn, I castled up in a corner to minimise the place where he could land with his pods. Thus they sadly didn't do much all game. But it was pretty hilarious to see the look on my opponent's face as I declared that they had 40 shots with BS2 on overwatch. By the way: The Kyropatris Fieldgenerator let's the whole squad re-roll failed armour saves of 1. This does extend to the Dominus, who then just gets rediculously tanky, unless he is blasted with S8 AP2 weapons. And even then it actually would have to be S9 AP2, since everyone who shoots at a 10-men strong squad of Peltasts has to do so with -1 strength. Sydonian Dragoons Boy oh boy, do I love our robot chickens! They killed two Furioso Dreadnaughts, mopped up the Deathcompany, killed a Landing Pot and swallowed a good chunk of fire. Just awesome! Onager Sadly, did hardly anything since my other stuff blasted the Tac Marines off the table. Inquisitor and Psykers Really good! Suddenly having a Psychic Phase with 4+ warp charges is just swell. The Astropath handed out 4++ saves and cursed some vehicles with Rending etc. The Inquisitor can now get a warlord trait even if he isn't the warlord, which is also nice. He is a good asset and makes the squad he joins much more survivable with his 2+ armour save. Militarum Tempestus They killed almost all infantry he had. The Tauroxes with their 14 shots (4 of which are AP3) are just awesome. The Plasma Command Squad is - well it's Plasma, that is always nice. In the end I won by Turn 4. All he had left were 5 Marines in his deployment zone and 3 Pods. If he hadn't conceded I would have tabled him. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319552-the-expeditions-of-forgeworld-halo-prime-pictures/page/5/#findComment-4596368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
