lionofjudah Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 SO ive been immersed in my FoW armies for months now and am at a stage where I'd like to work on something a lil different. Along came the announcement for the ETL and I knew it was time to come on back home:) The 501st has had a varied history across several iterations- as a heavy armored division in 5th/6th where they took part in cleansing the scourge of Waaagh Leef de Teef's reign of terror in the Emeri system. The remains of the 501st were broken into smaller companies and were relegated to pdf duty on the Forgeworld of Arco'josa. Their vehicular and manpower strengths are nearing the point where they may be once again called upon to serve the Emperor. The 501st favors a Keil formation and their breakthrough tanks are being readied currently. PLease inspect the preperations. Here we have an pict rendering of several smaller chassis AFV's of the 501st. A recon track for elements of the SAR teams, the Trojan of Boltan of Arteeri-techpriest from the homeworld- laboring intensively to bring the machine spirits online of many AFV's, and 2 Griffon mortar carriers of the 501st mobile artillery Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347440-501st-arterian-armoredetl/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Thanks Warriorfish!! Nice to be back and see so many new guardsmen in the ranks.... makes sense as the attrition rate amongst our kind at the front is always high Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347440-501st-arterian-armoredetl/#findComment-5086348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Yeh sometimes copying the txt can be wired? I find if I've already selected the BBCode link it wont copy but if I select the code below then long press the BBC link I can copy it? (On my andriod anyways). Looking forward to seeing more! :D What in game regiment rules do you plan to use?

lionofjudah Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Duz_ Thanks for heads up on the long hold... I’ll give that a shot. Regiment wise I honestly have no clue. I’ve not played since 6th and am more into the painting side of the hobby so expect to see stuff that may not ‘go’ together game wise. I’m a huge fan of FW stuff and have a plethora of goodies I’ve accumulated for last 5/6 years awaiting their turn on the painting table. I’m armor heavy as I love my airbrush and have been investing a bunch of time with FoW and workin up armor companies there. Expect to see multiple Alpha pattern russes, centaurs, gun team, elysians and true scale marines Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347440-501st-arterian-armoredetl/#findComment-5086666 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Good old BattleScribe! I think you need a few more troopers though at 2,500pts to properly escort your tanks.

Halfpint100 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 You haven't added the price of a special weapon into the battlescribe and your units are of 11. You need to remove a guardsmen and replace with special weapon guardsmen Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347440-501st-arterian-armoredetl/#findComment-5090391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to remove a guardsmen and replace with special weapon guardsmenAhhh, thanks for pointing that out. What’s the new flavor for infantry squad special weapons these days? I used to run flamers and grenade launchers in regular infantry, plasma in CCS and PCS and meltavets. I’ve got another guard player at my LGS that’s excited to get a game together so would appreciate some feedback- I will say I have a 3 squad of mortars and a few random characters for Psyker/master of fleet and ord, techpriest, and enough elysians to build the 4 infantry squads... seeing as how they are discontinued and I really don’t like to paint infantry that may be it on infantry squads;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347440-501st-arterian-armoredetl/#findComment-5090434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I use plasma mainly, 7 points is dirt cheap for the gun or grenade launchers if I don't have the plasma models Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347440-501st-arterian-armoredetl/#findComment-5090611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Most of my base infantry squads have grenade launchers with the occasional flamers Most my BS3+ guys rock plasma though Unfortunately melta doesnt really seem to have a place at its current price point and delivery systems Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347440-501st-arterian-armoredetl/#findComment-5090923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Eventually I might pick up the new ‘dex... although as often as a I get to play (once an edition it seems) it’s not been financially feasible to pick them up. I’ve got feelers our for DKOK and Elysian flamers and plasma guns so will see about them. Just noticed how much a chimera costs these days Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347440-501st-arterian-armoredetl/#findComment-5092554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
