INKS Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I am going to throw out a list, this is what I am building towards. I'll continue to change the list, so feel free to give some advice on what you think. This is also the place where I'll collect my thoughts on the guard and eventually my work, my models, pics and so on. Colors: Tanks - Armor = Black with red accents - red guns. (darker red) Troops - Dark Blue with red accents, black gloves and boots. Kasrkin - Not sure just yet but they are elite and so I'll probably add a color here or reverse colors perhaps. I am looking into having a Cobra Stencil made, if not then we'll be icon free. LIST: HQ: Command Sq - flag Command Tank Lord Solar - cobra commander? I'd have to have someone convert it for me to be honest. Tr Cadians x5 ELT: Kasrkin x3 - one with Teleport, 2 with Chimeras - Plasma / Hotshot guns Chimera x2 FA: Scout Sentinel x2 Scout Sentinel Scout Sentinel Hvy Dorn Leman Russ x2 - LC/HB -- 1 Vanq -- 1 Plasma cannon This comes out to 2k points. I didn't go into the nitty gritty here like gatekeeper, or relics, stratagems and so on. Right now I have Cadia Stands box coming for Christmas. I am looking to pick up more but it's hard to know without some kind of release schedule on Kasrkin, Lord Solar, Dorn and so on. Model detail - I was originally going to paint up Salvar Chem Dogs, so I have a number of heads with gas masks. This along with the head wearing a bandana over their face is the heads I'll use over and over. I don't mind them looking the same, and if I could get all 50 with the bandana I would.

INKS Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Troops should generally look like so. The silver bits are likely black, not sure on the guns. This gives me an idea for Kasrkin, I can paint their gasmasks red to mark them differently. maybe make their armored parts red as well to designate them as special duz_, Mazer Rackham and Tallarn Commander 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376645-inks-cobra-militarum/#findComment-5886576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) If I do get a stencil then the cobra is likely on the shoulder and not the chest, but we'll see how that goes. Here is the head I was talking about. I need a TON of these.

Sawtooth Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I love this concept. If you run Tempstus Scions or Kasrkin you could paint them as Iron Grenadiers.

Tallarn Commander Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 These heads from Anvil Industries might also work: https://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/ops-core-1-tactical-head INKS 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376645-inks-cobra-militarum/#findComment-5886603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L30n1d4s Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) I think there are some great opportunities here: 1) Kasrkyn can be painted like Crimson Guard (as Cobras elite infantry) 2) Lord Solar could be counts as Serpentor (his "counts as" Horse is instead Serpent's hover chariot 3) Ogryn/Bullgryn could be converted to look like the Dreadnoks 4) B.A.T.S. could be counts as Death Korps of Krieg squads (to represent their toughness with mini transhuman) 5) Dr. Mindbender could be a counts as Primaris Psyker 6) Cobra Commander could be a counts as Creed Edited November 24, 2022 by L30n1d4s Sawtooth, Lysimachus and INKS 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376645-inks-cobra-militarum/#findComment-5886610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 some really awesome ideas guys, thanks for the feedback and interest. Keep it coming, if you have ideas, throw them at me. Also thanks for the links. finding proper heads is going to be a challenge. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376645-inks-cobra-militarum/#findComment-5886620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Reptilian Minis has some very nice 3d printable heads that are "technically" free. https://reptilianoverlords.com/product/enemy-heads-collection/ By technically, I mean you have to either sign up for a subscription or buy some 'tokens' to spend in their store, but once you do either of those it is a free download. One of the helmeted Stormcast Eternal heads painted silver could make a great Destro.

Arikel Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Having had a small army of gi joes as a kid I love this idea. I second the Crimson Guard for Karskin, alternatively you could use the Cobra Vipers as a template.

TechCaptain Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I actually have a squad painted up as Cobra soldiers, unfortunately the Heavy Weapons team broke so I have them in front of a tripod.

I don't have a 3d printer but maybe I can get someone to print them for me.
