Sete Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) So, with Custodes and SoB out I'm planning to do a small strike force. (With an assassin included) But I'm planning to use Tempestus as main body of the army. "Historically" the Lucifer Blacks were the best non augmented troops Imperium had so I'm going with that. Any info on their colours and fluff? Edited November 8, 2016 by Sete Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327664-strike-force-bastion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Well Black velvet jackets. Nope. And black carapace armour. Ok I can roll with this one. Black Carapace armour, red berets (Comando style) And kaki clothes. Small details in silver. No camping backpacks tho.

Khulu Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Legion describes them as being all black. It comments on their rank markings as being subtle enough that they are especially hard to read to outsiders, but it's some kind of shoulder marking.

Sete Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Well Lucifer Blacks have been disbanded by Vangorich lol so that's gone :) But after reading Master of Mankind I noticed that Custodes don't like Marines that much. So i have a bit of fluff and questions going on. So the Golden Throne failed, and the Custodes to prevent the Emperor's death, sent a force trough a Webway gate to steal/search/get info on tech to save the Emperor. Who do you think they would take? Space Marines Guard or Stormtroopers Skitarii There are Terrain knight houses for my knights. But I need an escort for the knights tho :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327664-strike-force-bastion/#findComment-4575556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Space marines. They may not like them but if its a hail mary move like that then they cant trust any of the others to be as committed to success Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327664-strike-force-bastion/#findComment-4589186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ave-Imperator Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I second the Marines. It would probably be a combined Imperial Fists/Grey Knights force if anything.

Sete Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Well while I wait for my Agents codex and Scions, I had an idea. Gonna make some SM with Power Sword and Storm Bolter and use Custodes rules for them. Lore wise, I dunno, the Inquisitor with some mechanicus help created some souped up space marines. Using the Custodes blade rules. A new force to tackle the alien. Ofc this is heresy. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327664-strike-force-bastion/#findComment-4593090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 How about using Skitarii rules and Tempestus models? That could work. And the new Gerentius knight Dataslate, as an allied knight. Yes I like this idea. Skitarii doctrines can be used as "orders" and you don't need HQ to use them. Just troop choices.

And the new Gerentius knight Dataslate, as an allied knight. Yes I like this idea. Skitarii doctrines can be used as "orders" and you don't need HQ to use them. Just troop choices. This could get confusing for opponents. You'd have to do some sort of conversion to make it clear that they're not regular humans with hotshot lasguns.

Sete Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Nah I'm going with skitarii.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Post WIP pics when your wallet has recovered from the dentist and you are able to start building this force.

Sete Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 So this is back online! As of now I have a shield captain, a Contemptor, and 2 spear Custodes built. Gonna use the Deathwatch watch master as a base for a small inquisitor conversion using hector rex rules, and Tempestus as inquisitorial stormtroopers. Will post pics soon.
