WOW, really awesome to see all the lads together like that! And goddamn, I love those shields on the termies, that was such an awesome idea.

How many points is that now, 2500?

Awesome pics! You have any in action shots?

Awesome-sauce.

Terrific army g_d... wow. You set the standard pretty high for the rest of we Badab War enthusiasts... which is a very good thing indeed.

Great shots of a really neat, coherent force. Fab stuff.

Awesome stuff g_d. They look stunning all together like that. I too would like to know the points total you can field.

And btw, they are way PAST the point to be proud of!

BRILLIANT!!

They look fething sweet all in a group like that.

My favourite has to be Proiteus though, for me you nailed it right there. Not only the fantastic detail work but i feel hes the one that really epitomises the IH successor theme.

Thanks all, I really appreciate the kind words. It's been such a great project up to this point and I'm still looking forward to putting more finished models on the table still!

Wehrkind, The shields were one of those details I knew from the first model that I would be using. It only took me over two years to get a unit of them built! The army looks like it's a ton of points doesn't it? But really, what you see painted only ends up being about 1780 points! When I get the next set of stuff complete though I'll be well into the 2250 range and think I'll get around 2500 points by the time I'm about 'finished' with additions to the army.

IceAngel, honestly, I haven't fought that many fully painted armies so I haven't bothered taking many action photos. But thanks to your inquiry, I did notice I hadn't posted a small set I took when playing against my friend Pesmerga's Ultramarines! I'll add them at the end of this post!

Gits, I'm glad you think so Badab War folks are a special breed of insane. I like to think I've done the conflict justice and inspired more people to take the plunge with one of the extremely characterful armies that took part in the war.

Cypher, see my reply to Wehrkind for the points Thanks for the compliments.

Vitruvian, Thanks for that, Proetus was sort of the culmination of ideas and conversions. All of the work done to that point found it's way into his paint and modeling choices


++++++++++++++++++

For those of you looking for a few in action shots I give you The Sons of Medusa in actions against rogue elements of what appeared to be Ultramarines:









The action was swift and decisive with the Sons Terminator unit wading into combat and destroying much of the resistance single handed. An intervention by the Inquisition stayed the hand of the Sons of Medusa before more blood was shed, but the blood feud was begun, and the seeds of hatred sowed between these two proud chapters.

Cool.

And that's how it's done!

That army is truly beautiful. And very distinct as well. Vibrant and gritty which is something of an oxymoron.

We need more action shots. All of us!

Agreed. Perhaps a battle report could be in the pipe soon? Yes, yes.

Wow, sub 1800? Damn... that looks like a lot more, though I suppose I have a full unit of assault marines in my force that soak up a mess of points, so it probably is about right.

Been a while since I have played 40k, can't even guess points by looking these days!

Thanks guys. I'm not sure if/when I'd do a battle report. I'm a touch impossible when it comes to the quality that I would expect if I were to do a battle report. Fully painted forces and fully modeled and painted terrain as well would be a must for something like that. Though you could definitely expect another army photo shoot should I get enough completed that it warranted one

Wehr, It's rather surprising to me as well. I played DiscoVader a few weeks back now and was truly taken aback by how much I could fit into a 1750 list! I'm certain it's the transports that make it feel like a much beefier list than it really is. When you start plopping down a lot of armor people start to look at you funny Especially when you're rolling a most of those same units under 1k!

Indeed, that makes quite a nice force for 1750...

But why should you stop at 2500?? We will want to see more than that!!

Yes! Haha. What point value would you suggest Ygg?

5 digits or bust!

Well, I'm safe then. Poor grey has to look forward to much more green....

I think if I painted one army for 5 digits worth of pointage I'd be trying to eat a gun around the end of the 4 digits

Trust me, this army has a lot of directions it can still go. Namely the Desert Support section which as I had mentioned, I fully intend to go with at least a full force org for. I would expect that a Khan and some bikes would help to fill that out, but it's always safe to think that some tacticals with rhino's could also help in that regard. Who knows though. I'm all ears on how to make that work and work well

Still to come though in green:

Another tactical squad, A Land Raider Crusader/Redeemer, Devastators

There is also a group of servitors somewhere in there along with the possibility of another Techmarine, though I'd likely try and convert him into the Sons of Medusa special character.

All the while that I'm planning and thinking about all of the Sons of Medusa goodness I could bring to the table, I've always got other armies to help break things up. Namely I have plans in my head for my Angels Sanguine to develop into a full fledged army. There are also my Orks...Some Eldar...A warband idea is rising in my head...Warriors of Chaos?...Skaven...Where am I?

I really shouldn't have to buy a whole lot for a long time...So much backlog it's kind of pathetic!

But your already ay 4 digits...

He said "around the end of the 4 digits" - like 9,999.

Tell you what, GD, you can make it easy on yourself and just buy and paint a whole bunch of titans. That'll burn through those points fast. (And then you can declare bankruptcy and you won't have to repay those credit card bills! )

Anything to report g_d? I see its been a while.

Odd question, need to ask the master, Is there a way to strip resin?

Dettol (and I know I'm not the master, but still).

Acetone free nail polish remover

Will power spray work, its like simple green.

Should do it's the same active ingredient as dettol.

No progress to report for these guys. But if you're looking to see what I'm up to, I'm posting some stuff over in my Random WIP thread to include two new assault squads for my Angels Sanguine and a squad of Wolf Scouts for my Space Wolves!

As to the resin stripping, I think I'd start with something gentle like simple green. I've never stripped a resin model before though!

Miss Dee, check my Imperium log (in sig), i put an example of stripping resin with Dettol on the last page.

Just a small update to the army:

Servitor 23-14


A little gaming this past weekend and the thought hit me while looking at options for my Master of the Forge to consider using Servitors to help flesh out points on occasions. The added wounds and combat effectiveness could be useful especially when I'm hard pressed to find another spot to spend those points. At the very least they're extremely fluffy for the army to have on hand!
