I love your work on this army! That might even be my favourite Reconnaissance Squad I have seen! Is that a Melta Gun or Inferno Pistol? Regardless, the whole squad looks baller!

 

The Vigilator looks great, the supplies on his power pack and wooden stock of his Sniper Rifle gives him an awesome aesthetic!

 

What are your plans for this project - just keep adding to it as different units take your fancy, or do you have a specific end goal in mind?

Hi CKA. Thanks for the (many) likes. To answer questions:

• It's an inferno pistol on the sergeant of the squad.
• There is kind of a plan but it's not like a specific goal per se. So I generally pick units that prefer close combat in a ZM environment. The exception being that they're still a Legion and will have a decent amount of Tactical units. But you will notice that where CCW are allowed, I tend to have them mounted. Additionally, I am leaning a lot towards the 94th company even if the general paint scheme is a bit all over the place. That means a bit more destroyer presence despite BA's semi-aversion to that type of nasty warfare.  Thus inclusion of some Ofanim in my ranks since the company is already on notice for being rowdier than most.

That said, I have nearly finished the first half of the army. I have only a few units left to go through. The second half would likely be geared more towards late heresy era so a lot less volkite/tech gear. That and it would use the re-scaled stuff exclusively as well as more Inductii inclusions. I also haven't touched any vehicles since I have mostly played ZM and vehicles aren't available. Not sure how I want to tackle tanks given that I don't have an air brush to simplify my process nor have I developed a process to include Oil based weathering.

Thanks for the reply :)

 

That's cool - I always think it is neat thinking about specific units! That's Aster Crohne's unit right? Will he be overall commander, or do you have plans to get the Primarch?

I feel you on tanks - I love them when they are done, but don't love the experience of painting them. Inductii are pretty cool, they're something that has been on my mind a lot lately too! I can't wait to see what you do next, keep up the great work!!

 

 

Also, which edition of 30k do you mainly play? I only have the rules for 1st and 2nd so far, but have heard that 3rd removed some of the wargear options - have you found your units were impacted by this, or able to carry on unaffected?

That looks absolutely awesome @Spagunk, many thanks for posting it so us non-imgur folks can see it!

94th is supposed to be where Aster commands, yeah. I physically have both Aster and Sanguinius but haven't decided when to start painting them.

 

I haven't played 3rd ed. yet for "reasons". Not that I am opposed to it but some of the needless complications aren't helping. So technically 2nd edition is what I mainly play only because I have not yet played 3rd.

 

Edition did have an Impact and threw a lot of issues on my plate for units. but over time they reintroduced most of what I had lost initially. 3rd is kind of a mess right now.
