I have neglected that item! That was one of my fav parts of this army idea to begin with

For your guard attachment with the shields i think you could get big points with a little converting..
ogres for ogryn and storm troopers outta men at arms and catachans or cadians with a little Green stuff you could produes a hard core elite army... you could convert maruader horse men into rough riders just scrape or green stuff over the chaos iconography and while staying on the topic marauders of chaos could be used as basic infentry men
with catachan arms and deco bitz and saw the horns off the helms and bam!!! you could make a totally unique army..i'll send you some more info after i do some scratching...

I think the guard unit is going to be the hardest and possibly most rewarding part of this army build. Talk about pushing my skills to the limits...

No... I meant 5pm to 5 am. It sucks alot and I don't sleep for the most part.

Darkvoidof40k wrote:Still watching this thread with interest. So my idea of everything being a true-scale-mcbatnipple armour model is outta the window? Meh.. would've loved to have seen that..

Still.. Tzeentch owes me a few favors.. might get him to manipulate your mind.. and that of whoever decides your hours and pay..

I'm thinking "hours: all day" and pay "$500 a minute" with the job description of "go home and make those true-scale mcbatnipple armour marines!!" so that Dark can say "I told you so; I told you they'd be awesome."

Then I'll get tzeentch to make everyone believe the army (and job) is mine, thus perfecting my life.

Oh damn, I've told you my plan. I'll just go live on the moon and bomb everyone else instead then.

As great as all of that sounds, I think the true-scale mcbatnipple armour is going to have to wait till I am much better at my craft!

You sir are never off topic or annoying! If anyone is off topic and maybe even slightly annoying it is me! I go off topic more than anyone and I'm the OP!

vignor wrote:...And other converting thing to do is take chaos knight horses and convert them into "cavalry" aka attack bike WYSIWYG proxy....ill draw up concepts and find info if you'd like to see my madness...

FEED ME YOUR IDEAS!! No really I love the support in this army build from everyone that posts!

On a side note, I was reading the fluff for the BA's and fell in love with the info about the tribes that inhabited the 2 moons of Baal after they were turned into a radioactive wasteland! I was planning to make an army of mutant scavengers wirh very minor mutations and the fluff works perfectly for my idea!! Yet another thread will be started at some point...but not today, I'm tired.

possible PDF/Guard

@vignor- You sir are truly a major asset on this project!

Itty bitty update- I picked up the tac squad yesterday before going to job 2!! This means all I am waiting for is the bits from scibor to come in and the project will get rolling! There is a packeage at the post office waiting for me and I really hope thats it. I am working 5pm to 5am again tonight and I will update this as soon as I know if the bits are in!

Get on it and we might.

Hey tony... just found your blog... SUBSCRIBED...


*waits to be entertained*

i shall be finishing up a a new dreadnought sketch For the shields and a chimera idea after i do some house purging this evening...and i hope your bits did arrive im about to go into a fever waiting

It wasn't the bits!! There wasn't even a package... just an oversized envelope. I guess getting benefits at the new job are a good thing I am eagerly waiting on the bits.

Woulda been better if the benifits were unlimited 40k for life for everyone you know......just sayin.

HAHAHA! I'm sending you torsos isn't that something?!?

Omg. Let me paint a superheavy

Make sure to get the forge world DKOK - had a look at their models today and THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY SON OF A CREED SEXY!?!?!?three!!!!!!";11'~!!!!!

Tasters:

Grenadiers -



CCS -


Autocannon HWS -



Expensive little buggers, though. Damned worth it (unless you intend to actually play with them.. T3 failzz!).

@void- That is the beauty of a "counts as" crew

tony_nids_10 wrote:@void- That is the beauty of a "counts as" crew

You know it. Unfortunately I'd have to drop /guesses/ ~£85 for just the above! I dread to think the kinda money you'd be paying in $$$ over the pond.. even though it's the same amount of money in equivelance terms.. I'm guessing /guesses/ in the $200 price range.. O.O

Huh.. never thought of Typo's. I just envisioned a Shadowsword chassis with a massive flamer on it (i.e. warhound flamer thing).

Wait, so did you get 3 $100 tanks and FW stuff after you said you couldnt get a Bforce? Silly Tony.

Void - Actually with the pound:dollar ratio at about 1.3=1.4:1, FW stuff isn't bad right now. Shipping is the biggest problem really. 80 pounds would be about 110ish bucks.

So...Can I paint a super heavy or what? I would freak out

Actually they are NOT going to be my guard attachment. When I get my grubby little paws on these items, they will be their own army. They dont really fit the theme I have going and to sully these lovely little men would be nearly as bad as the heresey! (spelling)

whalemusic360 wrote:Wait, so did you get 3 $100 tanks and FW stuff after you said you couldnt get a Bforce? Silly Tony.

Would you pass up on the chance of owning that list???? I think not

Samus_aran115 wrote:So...Can I paint a super heavy or what? I would freak out

We shall see my friend!

Guess it would depend on how much, what condition, and from whom. But I probally would jumped on it as well for a stupid good price.

Oh yeah, I see a Stormlord on that list. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. 15 S6 AP3 may be nice, but at BS3 you're gonna get hardly any hits. Even if you don't fire the other weapons and get out 30 S6 AP3, averages say only 15'll hit anyway. Sure, transport capacity of 40 is nice.. but you're paying ~500pts for it!

so you told me you dont have them $$ for a batle force yet you go wild on FW?

I

Am

Confused.
