Space Marines in Shadow Wars


Prot

Recommended Posts

So I'm surprised this hasn't come up.... but what are you guys doing for Shadow Wars?

 

I'm in two campaigns right now (one is run by the local GW). Although I have Grey Knights in that, I'm still deciding on the other campaign.

 

What are you guys thinking for teams? Will you be using Specialists? Anyone else in a campaign?

I'm working on a Grey Knights kill team to represent my Nova Hawks. In addition, I've been drafting up rules for power armoured Space Marines (everything is done except for the differentiation between Chapters beyond skills). That is a topic I'm working on for the Homegrown Rules forum, though, and will appear soon.

 

+EDIT+

 

Linky to Homegrown Rules discussion

I just got my book yesterday, yet on first glance at the actual lists seems to justify my thinking based on the yadda yadda on the boards:  Scouts or NOTHING!

 

Yet, it's not a unit right out of the box, unless you want it too.  I may build a dedicated SW unit that will 1) not be used in regular board games and 2) will allow me to flex some conversion muscles.

I must admit now that I have read the lore it does completely make sense why they went with just Scouts for Hive Archeron and not power armoured Marines although I kind of think they could have squeezed these in with Death Watch Kill Teams who do this kind of work for a living.

I do have a ton of bits laying around that might find their way into small Scout team. Might do something completely off the wall for them that I wouldn't normally consider chapter-wise.

It will likely be a Scouts kill team for me too.

I am waiting for the full rule book to be released. All of the accursed xenos secured the SWA boxes from my store and refuse to share.


Meanwhile, I am tentatively sketching some area designs for 2'x2' Hive Helsreach boards:

Hels Highway

Central Spire

Temple of the Emperor Ascendant

Azal Spaceport

Forthright Dock Sector

Purgator Refinery

Rostorik Ironworks


Terrain features will hopefully include:

some weapon batteries, vox-masts, ruins, railways, bridges, graveyards, ecclesiarchy & civilian elements
