Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 Nearly done with my pile of shame. (Re)painted 26 infantry last week, and now I have 1 basilisk to repair and repaint, 1 autocannon HWS, and this box of infantry to (re)paint and I’ll be done.

Completely agree. When there’s so many models in the army, overpainting is fine as long as the detail isn’t blobby. Some of my models have three or four paint jobs over them lol Inquisitor_Lensoven 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of meltas or plasma guns in each squad and you massively increase your firepower, especially if you are using transports and getting close enough to use them. In my army I went for a grenade launcher and missile launcher in every squad for the versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) Sorry I didn’t get more pictures, but shut out my opponent. I had almost the whole table screened and half his army was in DS. He waited way to long for an opening in my DZ, that never materialized, and didn’t ever have more than 3 squads on the table at one time until T4. I killed about 9 of his models, most of which were terminators, the highest value targets he killed were 2 tauroxes, and a squad of Kasrkin w/ castellan. we played a very simple game, 3 midfield objectives worth 1 pt each the scout moves worked pretty well and did exactly what I wanted them to do Edited December 17, 2023 by Inquisitor_Lensoven The Pounder 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately opponent had to leave after T2 due to some family thing. we played another simple 3 midfield objective game. it ended 2-1 in my favor, but we called it a draw because by the end of T2 he held one objective with a 10 man termie blob, and the middle objective with a 10 man BGV squad, and I held the last. I could have likely contested with my infantry squads and/ or my rough riders. it really could have swung either way depending on the dice. he came in the vanguard detachment which makes marines hella durable to shooting. pic 1 is deployment after scout moves pic2 is end of T1 shot 6 wulfen off the board in T1, killed an inceptor in T2 and managed wounds on his repulsor, landraider, and bjorn(?) and whiffed a lot of shots at a ballistus.
