Xenith Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Close victory against some Imperial Fists last night, Blood Feud went 7-2 in favour of the alphas in the end - My opponent couldn't quite finish off my MSU seekers, recons and headhunters while I hunted down his last troops, so I killed more and had more remaining on board for last man standing, nice fun game, and the HKT did really decently well, considering I got seized on!

Mandragola Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I’ve had some ideas about converting sisters of silence to create their units. This is my attempt at a couple of the snipers armed with “Vratine nemesis bolters”. What do you think?

Going to do some for my Istvaan III loyalists, but I'm not sure whether to do the body in black with purple shoulderpads and maybe a purple helm, or keep the base body color purple with black shoulderpads. I'm worried my earlier joke response put people off replying sensibly, so here's a proper answer: if you already have a lot of EC infantry in purple, then paint them black with purple shoulder pads. They will look distinctive on the battlefield. If it is a relatively small force with not too many infantry, paint them purple with black shoulder pads. This will keep the coherent look of the whole force. If you still think you are a half-way house, have you considered this kind of scheme (substituting the BA red for EC purple, obviously)? Picture credit: sorry I found this on the internet thanks to a search engine but did not see the original artist. I will edit this if anyone knows or claims it.

Nod toward the theory that Death Eagles are ES successors by having them in one of the Death Eagles' colours, or have them purple with white heads and pauldrons or black with purple heads and pauldrons (nodding toward the secund Death Eagles colours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgoff Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I build an Apothecarius with a Grave Mace. That's the haywire equivalent of a power maul from the Iron Warriors. It doesn't have any strength bonus so I figured a smaller version would be good. Corswain, Pacific81, Loquille and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelCarmine Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) I finally have time, to start my Iron Warriors! Had them for ages in my PoS, but RG and SW always demanded something new... I'm building atleast 1-2 hit/wounded for each squad, to show the "meatgrinding" nature of the Legion. =] Edited November 10, 2022 by MichaelCarmine tinpact, LameBeard, poom and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadmus Tyro Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Got a game coming up against my brothers Custodes….looks like my alpha legion are joining the lascannon party of 2nd edition.

No Foes Remain Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Did you just trim down a bracer and put it on the arm? If so that's a great idea! I take it that took a bit of work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Legionnaire Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Anybody know what's up with the GW HH legion transfers being in stock issues?

LameBeard Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) @Gore Crow love that Moritat - great pose and character. Is it a head from the havocs? Meanwhile I made another shotgun trooper for my Blood Angels. Also, can the good agony uncles and aunts of B&C help with this. I tend to build by mixing kits and bits, scraping parts together as I go. I was running low on shoulder pads so I bought these Blood Angel shoulder pads from a popular online auction site, assuming they were Mk IV. But looking at the trim, they don’t match; if anything they are closer to Mk VII. But they appear to be heresy? Have I bought knock-off by mistake or does anyone else out there have this issue?

For some unfathomable reason that's how ForgeWorld designed the Mk IV shoulder pads. You can see on their own images that the width of the rim doesn't match the other shoulder. It is very annoying.

Axineton Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Built three MKVI marines yesterday. Was going to build ten but was feeling ill. I also primed them and basecoated them and I’m going with the boys in blue my favourite chapter since I got into the hobby. I may build another seven tomorrow evening if I’m feeling better and then might get on with priming and painting them.

Pearson73 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 @Gore Crow The Moritat certainly looks the business, I'm still not sure whether to go for grav on mine, but it seems so characterful! Excellent idea to use the Black Templar for an Iron Father, the bulk and piping really suit the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Seeing as Destroyers now have a chainsword in addition to their double pistols, it seems feasable to model them with BP+CS with another pistol in a holster - potentially allowing them to be also used as assault marines. Has anyone tried this yet, or is everyone sticking with twin pistols? LameBeard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 That’s five Sanctioners built for my SoS “army”. I had fun making these poses.

I'll definitely be doing this for some, but mainly because I want to give them Umbra pattern pistols (or whatever came with the MKV assault marines) and I've only got a few kicking around... Also want to have a chap prepping a rad grenade or some such. LameBeard and Xenith 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
