Guest Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Well in a week or so I am ordering my first Anvil stuff. Maybe 2 squads and at least 1 :P. So I have an idea on my Commander. (Straken) http://anvilindustry.co.uk/image/cache/data/AFTERLIFE/PCR%20Characters/madison-crop-800x800.jpg And my main Commissar.. (Yarrick) http://wargameexclusive.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Commissar-Power-Fist-21q.jpg I want a Nork Deddog but I really dont want the Ogryns they don't fit with my ideals of the army. These are the best of the best and Ogryns don't fit. So I am thinking of a Robot... Maybe a Castellax, Domitar or a Thallax Cohort. I want something Ogyrn sized :) The way I see it is my Chapters Homeworld is allied to a local forge world (Mezoa) Any advice on my choices or AM in general I am all ears :)... (Oh I dont play only paint) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323786-1st-new-mannheim-strikers-veteran-astra-militarum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 If you're only concerned about painting then the World is your oyster! You can't go wrong with tanks, there's plenty to choose from. I find Sentinels a lot of fun too so some might be worth a gander :) Otherwise some troopers make a Guard army and Vets let you play around with customisation and conversion :D Looking forward to seeing your regiment progress, do you have a colour scheme in mind?

WarriorFish Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Sounds good, especially the red berets ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323786-1st-new-mannheim-strikers-veteran-astra-militarum/#findComment-4438115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Well I am finishing up my 2nd Vow for the DA forum and I will look at my time left for a vow for the Astra M... It will not be a huge vow.

librisrouge Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Why Yarrick, what big...fists you have! Always liked that model and I can't wait to see it painted up.

WarriorFish Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 All the better to rip Ork warboss arms off with ;) Hoping you can make an OOC vow for the Guard once you've sorted your DA vows :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323786-1st-new-mannheim-strikers-veteran-astra-militarum/#findComment-4439037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well... for the basic AM, seeing as you have started with an Anvil Industry character, why not follow up with some of their regiments range?: http://anvilindustry.co.uk/Regiments/regiments-full-squads If they don't float your boat then there is a very good US company that make a wide variety of AM alternatives: https://madrobotminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9_19 Alternatively, there is the European option from here: http://puppetswar.eu/category.php?id_category=208 These all have a range of weapons that can 'count as' the GW weapons and are really great miniatures (I've ordered from all of them and they are great quality). As for Ogryn... lets throw something out there as an option: http://shop.prodosgames.com/cybertronic/64-immortal.html http://shop.prodosgames.com/cybertronic/63-everassur.html http://shop.prodosgames.com/cybertronic/101-exterminateur-attila-mki.html When it comes to Sentinels (if you want to use them), there are these: http://shop.prodosgames.com/bauhaus/49-vulkan-battlesuit.html That's just some of the options available. I am like you (I don't game so I can pick and choose from where I like) and use a wide variety of troops and equipment from a wide range of companies so if you have specific questions, I may be able to help... for example, rough riders: http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/10-man-rough-rider-conversion-kit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323786-1st-new-mannheim-strikers-veteran-astra-militarum/#findComment-4439041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
