INKS COBRA MILITARUM

[INKS]

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.

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

[INKS]

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.

I love this concept. If you run Tempstus Scions or Kasrkin you could paint them as Iron Grenadiers.

[Tallarn Commander]

These heads from Anvil Industries might also work:

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

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.

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.

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]

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. 

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Since my suggestion post above, this idea won't get out of my head. >_<

[TechCaptain]

Pocture for those that like that. And no I wasn’t the artist for this one.

These heads are perfect. I'll have to look into it. I don't have a 3d printer but maybe I can get someone to print them for me.
