Barabbas Sogalon Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 20 marines will become Death Guard Tacticals modelled as trench fighters. The remaining 10 will either be a Veteran squad, end up as Iron Warriors/Sons of Horus/something else or be used for parts. I'm working on a way to weave the Sisters of Silence into the background of my Death Guard, no doubt the models I'm most excited about. The Custodes won't fit with any of my armies so I'll just paint them. Haven't decided on Ahriman, either a Thousand Sons Corvidae Librarian or something else. I'll probably find some way to use the Wolf. Can't stand the look of Tartaros armour so I'm completely blank when it comes to them. Always been a Cataphractii man.

MikhalLeNoir Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Not sure now. The Custodes will be bases for primarch conversions for sure. But I played with the idea to convert the entire game into the purge of the XIth. Would be a fun side project.

But I played with the idea to convert the entire game into the purge of the XIth. Would be a fun side project. Make it both Prospero and the purge of the XIth. Keep Ahriman and Geigor as themselves, and paint the Mk III and Tartaroi as Drowned.

MikhalLeNoir Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Lol. I thought of purging the Wardens^^ althoigh painting the drowned could be fun and having some mutated wolves could be fun too Not sure now.

Cloud Runner Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Only ordered 1 box, time doesn't permit much more than that. I'll be added these to my Dark Angels (terran contingent) as follows: 20 tactical marines (probably 2 squads of 10 for rhino's) 5 man plasma support squad 5 man support - probably heavy bolters Tartaros will go with a (converted) tribune praetor Sisters & custodes as normal Might try and convert the characters if I can These will add to my B@C box which went to PotL list - 2 x vet squads, 5 man melta and 5 man missile support plus some resins to make destroyers and fill out the weapon options Then the calibanite's get the full kitbash treatment from everything else!!!

No idea what to do with the rest. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327143-plans-for-prospero/page/2/#findComment-4541863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminus Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 @OP: a couple MORE 20-man tactical sections? Even 1 is too many! :P I actually can't do anything with the box until we get 30K rules for the Custodes/Sisters and Thousand Sons.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I'm planning to do some loyalist thousand sons. And make a press mold of the volkite charger so I can outfit more men with them.

IronDrake28 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The 30 marines will go into my Iron Warriors as 3 10 man squads in Rhinos. Tartaros terminators will go with my Praetor Tribune (no idea on Legion shout out some ideas!) then the Custodes and Sisters will go with my Ultramarines. Exactly what I'm going to do! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327143-plans-for-prospero/page/2/#findComment-4542380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandwen Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 5-10 of the mk III will become chaos space marines, the other 20-25 Dark Angels for 30k. I need more troops and I kinda want a heavy bolter squad. The termies will be more interesting... I already have 5 resin ones green stuffed and altered up to be chaos termies, so I might add to them, but I also bought ten extra termies to build some for my DAngels.

Nusquam Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 10 MKIII will be tacs with additional CCWs. Probably painted up Pale Nomads so I can use them as Blackshields and Carcahrodons. 10 will be RG breachers. The last 10 I'm not so sure about. With current bits I can make a 5man autocannon squad and a 5man pariah flamer squad and paint as Pale Nomads. But I'm on the fence about it. I might bash 5 with leftover MKIV bits to make rapier crew and 5 ACs... I'm trading the sisters for more tartaros. 5 of which will be Raven Talon/Combiplas/Plasmablaster to scour scoring units off objectives/ZM/Rule of Cool as RG. The next 5 are going to be fists and 2 chainfists. Maybe Ashen Claws, maybe Pale Nomads. Undecided for their paint scheme. The Custodes I was thinking of painting in EC to use as Pheonix Termis and start a Traitor legion. But then I look at Deathshroud and weep. I mean some Custodes did fight alongside Corax so they wouldn't be out of place... and they are pretty... Ahriman I may keep. Still undecided on which traitor legion I want. It's a tie between 1ksons, AL, and EC. Wolfman I'm trading for bits or selling.

Sonoftherubric21 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Ive got 3 legions, however my Word Bearers are Serrated Sun Chapter, so no Mark 3 for them! However; My 30k White Scars and 30k Thousand Sons are both getting some Mark 3. Im imagining 15/15 to each. My Thousand Sons will be primarily mark 4, but the breachers for them will most assuredly be Mark 3 (As it only makes sense for seige warfare/boarding actions) Ahriman is...well Ahriman.... saves me the trouble of buying an expensive resin from Forgeworld....no complaints!The Custodes will be joining my White Scars, as there is some fluff precedent due to the blood games on Terra for the legion and Custodes getting along quite well. The sisters (for the time) shall be shelved.....saved for....the future... I have Garro as well, so i may end up building them and shelving the, for the time with him.

Sandlemad Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 VI legion A solid unit of twenty MkIII-clad hunters, converted with heads from the the 40k sprue and the AoS marauder horsemen. I know it's heavy assault armour but just gotta have some uncovered heads howling away. Maybe a pelt and wolf-tail here and there too. Ten breachers. Topknots or wolf tails on every helm. Holding fire on these guys until we know if FW is doing some sort of generic breacher shield kit. Shapeways and ML both have solid VI legion shields but they're still fairly elaborate, something stripped down might look more 30k-ish. Tartaros guys might also get topknots, with lightning claws and a heavy flamer. Custodes will all have guardian spears, Sisters will all have greatswords. Ahriman stays as is, he's too nice a model for me to butcher. Geigor... I'm not sure. Don't like his oversized claw (might do as a tartaros sergeant's weapon?) or his head or his backpack (the wolf tails actually drape over the vents, it'd need resculpting as well as losing the wolf skull). The pose is a good one though, as is the runic armour. Might give him a mkIV helmet and twin pistols, make a decent and active-looking moritat.

grand_master85 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The minis will all be going to my pre-exisiting Thousand Sons army. I was only going to snag Ahriman off a bits site or such, and then I saw the Tartaros. Then I saw the astounding Sisters of Silence and thought 'sod it, get the whole box'. Then I looked at the Custodes and then bought another pack of them and the Sisters. Le sigh. It never ends. I feel a little bad inside using Custodes and Sisters allied to my TS, but they'll be used when I don't use my TS as Magnus Loyalists. Greigor Fellhand though? There's more chance of me gnawing my own arm off than using him Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327143-plans-for-prospero/page/2/#findComment-4542762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellath Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The marines of the box will form the core of my VIII Legion Pride of the Legion list. I might trade the Custodes and Sisters for more Tartaros. I want the bulk of my army to be Tartaros terminators, with a Cataphractii command squad.

Wayniac Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I am going to use the Marines to start my journey into 30k. I don't like how the Terminators look so may see if anyone has cataphractii for trade. The wolf guy will be used in my tiny 40K Space wolf Army and the rest I'll probably trade or sale or something because I have no interest in them.

Charlo Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Will probably buy two boxes in the end. Sisters and Custodes will be just that - probably wait for Infenro before I arm them (unless I could perhaps megnetise options...) 30ish MkIII Assault marines for my BA with some 3rd Party Heavy-Duty jump packs. Probably some Apothecaries mixed in and things. 30 MkIII Tacs/ Heavy Weapon squads for my DG. 10 Tartaros for BA. Other bits for MkIII conversions. Sell off the Wolf and Arhiman x2.
