WarriorFish Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The model is good quality, but some of the design decisions really stand out as odd - but you've done a good job on it :tu: Thousand Eyes 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/page/2/#findComment-4994084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombatVet Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thanks. Had some issues making the photo. The red is much better in person.

CombatVet Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Another highlight on his robes. Calling him done for now. Puts my completed force at about 1250. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/HarleyXJGuy/Ad%20Mech/rps20180206_225949_478_1517976018086.jpg Vel'Cona, Subtle Discord, MithrilForge and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/page/2/#findComment-5005256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CombatVet Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Infiltrators. My early low point test games have shown I need the ability to capture far off objectives and deal with out of LOS shooting. Stupid Hive Guard. A 10 man squad with CP support should be able to handle that I think.

My early low point test games have shown I need the ability to capture far off objectives and deal with out of LOS shooting. Stupid Hive Guard. A 10 man squad with CP support should be able to handle that I think. Sounds nasty! One big point with Infiltrators is the volume of fire they can throw down; I'd imagine a single phase under the Mars Strategem could put down some serious MWs.

CombatVet Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Forgot to add with Cawl and Mars my odds of having re roll ones for shooting when I need it are very good. Bringing the Infiltrators in near Cawl are also sometimes an option vs aggressive opponents. Re rolling ones or everything means more sixes which we all know can be good under Wrath of Mars.

CombatVet Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Took my 1k list against an Eldar force that was thrown together by a friendof mine. Mostly infantry with some War Walkers. Only my second game with Robots but wow they are super angry. First round they deleted a ten man Dire Avenger squad then second round I put them into Shooty mode and the proceeded to murder a nine man Striking Scorpion squad AND the three War Walker squad. Granted with STR 6 they are bad news for Eldar and I used Wrath of Mars but yikes. Here is a picture of the newest Robot and the Datasmith that has yet too see action. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/HarleyXJGuy/Ad%20Mech/rps20180209_204434_370.jpg Bjorn Firewalker, brother_b, WarriorFish and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/page/2/#findComment-5007634 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CombatVet Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Fun for me maybe. Not so much for whatever is on the receiving end of the Robots guns.

CombatVet Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 This guy was added for my 1k force in the Escalation League. He proved to be a real thorn in the side of my opponent. Denying him objectives and killing a couple of characters before finally being killed the last turn of the game. Sorry for the junky picture my photo area is down for wife stuff. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/HarleyXJGuy/Ad%20Mech/151503157735680bab46c087aedca24aa980b027cd80487b00ba7c7fe2656472bce624a5b99d6786179475e497aaa84eb9554394825cd0811f4fb0f20da7a3fe2b770cf7a356a.jpg Vel'Cona, WarriorFish, brother_b and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/page/2/#findComment-5009892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thousand Eyes Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Nice looking force, in particular the robots. Love the almost comic book effect on the different panels.
