And BOOM like a blast from the past I caved in and decided to join in a local campaign that a couple of the guys from the club are going to be running,
So after a little digging about I found my marines from about 4 girlfriends ago, all I needed to do was finish off two forgeworld warhounds that I'd had for what seems like forever and as I was on the hunt for bits and bobs.
I stumbled across a box that I'd bought from a chap in the states with shag loads of various bits in it so decided to get those togeather and blast them out as I was waiting for the ink to dry on my emperors children dreadnought...
so the family shots...
The Firepower group
3 units of landraiders, 2 warhounds a warlord and two lots of landriders for transport
the front ones are the recently painted with the newish inks the rear ones are from back in the day
the easiest models to paint in the world! all dry brush and inks
More landraiders!
Support and AFV group
So two lots of whirlwinds, 2 lots of predators and some vinidicators
Anti-infantry predators
Vindicators
Old school whirlwinds
The infantry group
So 3 space marine units with transport one on foot, 1 devastator unit with rhinos and two that cruise around in landraiders
The Specialist Group
4 units of assault marines, a thunderhawk, 2 units of termi's 4 dreadnoughts, attack bike unit and a landspeer tornado unit
the good old thunderhawk... now only if GW did a plastic 40K for this rather than the 400 quid forgeworld one ;)
Command element with some old ones
And whats currently left to do...
The ship I'm planning on using as a strike cruiser for drop pod deployment, its from a company called ground zero games from there NSA faction range and was a bargin at 4 quid, I'm thinking of getting one to repersent a battlebarge, all I need to do is find some to use as a lander as I'm flatly refusing to pay 38 quid for the GW one!
Points wise...
well its rolling in just shy of 8,900
Thats without the 2 addational thunderhawks, scout unit, 2 warhound and 1 reaver (but no weapons?) that needs to be stripped and painted up in the guise of space wolves, get some of the old school whirlwinds to convert into hunters and that'll be all good as done!
quite a crazy week considering "oh I'll do a quick unit of terminators"
It's fucking amazing! Really.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for such an awesome army ;D
315 troops, not counting bikes and speeder ... so that's a third of the chapter rolling up, don't lose it!
ReplyDeleteAmazing amount of concentrated firepower! I especially love the ranks of infantry!
ReplyDeleteglad you like them chaps,
ReplyDeleteDon't know why but when setting up the shots I stood back and thought how cool they looked
I need one really big picture with it all togeather really.
315 troops eh.. well thats three companies so looking good just need some more bases and lets see what that gives me ;)
