Corsovitt Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The Mark III from both sets will fill out my VIII Legion third cohort which currently contains my MKIII Breachers, MKIII Destroyers, MKIII Autocannons and Rapier Quad Heavybolters. The Tataros will be added to my current DA Successor First Company for Scouring/40K until rules come out run the Reaper Autocannon as an Assault Cannon. The SoS and Custodes will be stalked through the ruins of Terra by my VIII Legion force :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327143-plans-for-prospero/page/3/#findComment-4544112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokkorex Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 First and foremost; Iron Havocs! Secondly, add the tartaros to my existing ones and make a squad of assault terminators with volkite chargers and plasma blasters. Thirdly, phalanx warders. Fourthly, add the remaining mk.3 bitz to my plague marine pile'o'bits. Then, i have to buy another box, since i want a full squad of custodes with spears.

WingCommander Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I will only use the generic models and trade everything else. The Mk III will be added to my Iron Warriors: 10 Tacticals, 1 Apothecarius, 4 Quad Launcher Crew, 8 Havocs, 2 Medusa Crew. The 5 remaining models will go into an existing Breacher squad. The Terminators will be saved for a second legion, which I'm gonna start next year, presumably the XIII.

Canadian_F_H Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 20 mk3 black templars, 20 mk3 chaos iron warriors, and perhaps 20 mk3 imperial fists... Pool ccw into the black templars, 4 heavy bolters for the fists, and the one of the Iron warrior squads will take 4 plasma finds to be havocs. .. Beyond that I'm not yet sure. ..

Zoatibix Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 It's going to sit in The Great Gaming Cupboard until the mystical day when I finish painting my: Cryx Legion of Everblight Skorne DFC - Scourge, Shaltrai Tyranids Dark Eldar (Hopefully) plastic Sisters of Battle ...and on that great and far off day.... I plan to use it and BaC as the core of a dual purpose 30k Legion / 40k successor Chapter. Possibly White Scars for the humour and moustaches. Or Dark Angels for the robes.

stuanor Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I will be equipping 10 of the Marines with Volkite Calivers, and another 10 with Heavy Weapons - I have decided :-P Am doing the same for my Ultras, then using the last 10 for breachers with the new UM weapon set (when they finally come out) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327143-plans-for-prospero/page/3/#findComment-4546251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzilla Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 So my prospero arrived! At 7.15 on a Saturday morning . I can forgive the postman that one :p Mini review? Sisters of silence are even better in person. Honestly still don't know if I'll use/keep them, but they are amazing. Great proportions, amazing detail, just a solid kit. Still t a fan of their heads, so if I ever did do something with them, it would be involving a head swap. Tartaros. Amazing. Love it. Fave part of the kit, easily. I love the fact that the chain fists come separate, and the extra bits and pieces. Gonna try using the helmets for some extra chunky mkiv marines soon... Mkiii is a solid kit too, no complaints there! Actually just one but not really related to the quality. The lack of spare bits. In BaC you ended up with a ton of spare arms and even torsos, which made things like conversions and vehicle crew easy, even shoulder pads too. In this kit you get the exact number of bolter arms, and the exact number of pads and torsos. Bit of a shame. Characters are solid. I love that the dead space marine with ahriman is separate. I can see a press mold or two in his future... Custodes. Controversially, I think I will be one of the few who don't like this kit. Or rather I don't like half of this kit. I don't really feel it all goes together well... The spears helmets and arms look great. But I think the shoulder pad size looks off, and the armour overly flashy. Too ornamental in my opinion. I also loathe the swords... It's not actually the thickness of the blade, like some have mentioned, it's that the gun component looks more than silly. I will be converting my Custodes from the stormcast eternal range methinks. All in all a very good kit. I will trade what I don't need to get more of what I do. :) Glad I got as many as I did!

That actually is an awesome idea storm cast Custodes you have given me an idea :D, what options are there for the sergeants and do you get multiples of them, can all can have the same load out or just one of each likewise for the special/ heavy weapons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327143-plans-for-prospero/page/3/#findComment-4547412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzilla Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 No multiples (other than the duplicate sprues of marines etc) Mkiii have a very cool looking power sword (gladius style) a great thunder hammer, standard power fist and a lighting claw. Plas. A pistol too. Weapons are a melta, plasma, and a heavy bolter. Tartaros have a power sword and a volkite Heavy are a heavy flamer, autocannon, and a plasma blaster, The Custodes and sisters can have one of each load out Spears and swords and shields for the Custodes (with optional banner) Sisters are swords, bolters and flamers.

God-Potato of Mankind Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 If I ever get it, I plan to use it to redo my Salamander troops. I got first issue MK4 from FW which are really slim, badly painted and not mk3. Looking forward to applying half a decades painting experience to them and comparing to the old guard on the shelf!

Always check the Shadows Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 beginnings of my start into horus heresy and the creation of a shattered legion force built from loyalist elements of traitor legions. Pretty similar myself but was thinking of a shattered legion force based on Isstvan V survivors, so Raven Guard and Salamanders. Went to Warhammer World today to pick up the rulebooks and some extra stuff to find the Age of Darkness Army List SOLD OUT! I guess prospero is pretty popular?

Nice :/ Yeahhh...some of them really do miss it, like the ones you mention, Sons of Horus especially, and Alpha Legion. They're just way too bright. The Death Guard, Iron Warriors, and Night Lords look great though, with actual weathering/detail work. As for my Prospero set...going in to GW to put stuff together for my Iron Warriors, including a Kyr Vhalen conversion, and his command squad, should be a lot of fun!

JeffJedi Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just a quick note, it looks like the MK4 and MK3 hands are interchangeable. The only difference I spotted was two tiny rivets. This means you could easily build a MK3 flamer marine with extras from B@C etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327143-plans-for-prospero/page/3/#findComment-4548066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Made a small mistake with my first plastic MkIII tactical squad. Decided to give my sgt a ccw and was impressed by the Thunderhammer. Assembled the model then checked the army list entry a hour latter to find tactical sgts can't take thunderhammers :( I can either remove the arm and give him a powerfist or put him to one side as a possible vet squad leader Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327143-plans-for-prospero/page/3/#findComment-4548108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
