Hello Dakkanauts,

When I first joined, I claimed I had 20,000 points of Imperial armor. That was a slight exaggeration; at the time, I had 18,000. Due to the Third Edition codex (I.E. 3x LRBT max) more than half was infantry. Now, however, after jettisoning most of my infantry and gaining but a few tanks, I have stabilized somewhere around 10,000 points... half of what I promised. At any rate, I just finished compiling all of my Guard models, and to help I placed them in my Armored regiment's TO&E.

It is rather unspecific (no upgrades listed) but total points costs for each section are listed, as is the total (somewhere around 9,800 IIRC).

Alright, I will comply, with a few caveats:

1) They are taken with an iPhone... digital cameras are for people who have money that isn't in plastic form.

2) Many things are yet unpainted; I am but one man.

Update with pics to come.

The Concordian 1st Armored Regiment!



Here be the entirety of the Regiment!



Here's the front view of first company!



Here's the top view of same



Here's the front view of second company!



There's the top view of same!



There's the top view of Third (superheavy) Company!



Good view of the Stellae Mortui; escort tanks for the Regimental Commander:



And here's the big boy himself, the Stellae Victae!

I will make close-ups on request, but again, little is painted and I am working with an iPhone...

Thats a lot of TANK!

I'm sincerely impressed in that amount of armor, how much is painted, and how much of said painting is good. Why'd you get rid of your infantry? All those tanks are a lot more fun when there's guardsmen scurrying alongside them!

I got rid of my infantry because I didn't (and still don't) think I could ever will myself to paint them all.

Also, technically, it's unfluffy for an armored regiment to have more infantry than what is considered "barely sufficient."

Nice, mate

I have a similar addiction

Mik

::: drools :: Such pretty tanks...

TAAAAAAANKS!!!!

I found someone to paint my infantry, and I am going to paint more tanks. I think I am going to post up specific pictures of vehicles tomorrow or Wednesday.

Achtung panzer!

That's so awesome, especially the stormblade, I love seeing a painted up stormblade.

I...

Oh god...

You made my day. Seriously, the painting loos great, and the the fact that you have most of it done is very impressive! The pics looks fine too.

Excellent stuff!

By the Emperor! I wish I had that!

Less fuzzy, but weird hills on this planet!

For this many points...I can get what, 143 broadsides?

That would ruin your day, wouldn't it

Or three mantas

True. Now you just need 143 Broadsides or 3 Mantas.

And I'm not so worried about the Broadsides.

Broadsides are definitely something to worry about.

Also, I already have 2 mantas, and 12 broadsides.

I'm more afraid of Hammerheads than Broadsides - I don't know why, but every time I play against broadsides I kill one and like, a pair of drones with a single shell and the rest flee off the board. It's happened literally every time I've played against broadsides.

The Mantas, of course, are scary and rightfully so!

Now you just need proper air support =) (start collecting those valks!)

nice work!

Hammerhead are only scary to light infantry-S6 AP4 LBT and six S5 shots a turn at BS4.

Their solid shot is not something that should be used, ever. 66% chance to get one railgun hit, whereas a broadside alone has a 75% chance to hit. And light weapons are useless against broadsides...a unit can have up to 12 wounds with 2+ saves each

How can you boast an armored company when your Motorpool only sports 10 Enginseers?

And you call yourself a treadhead...

He makes them work tripple shifts I bet.

I actually have more heavy weapons than light weapons - each tank sports its main weapon and a lascannon in most cases. I don't think I have a weapon lower than Strength 8 except on the executioners.

I actually just got a fethload more techpriests (5) from Forge World. I didn't want more than two of the mono-pose metal ones.
