Wow! Glad my work was inspirational. For better or for worse the Tanith aspect of that army, for me, was aborted and the army has morphed a few times into what is now a Valkyrie-heavy Catachan vet army. Ennkay on the other hand, took what I started with and ran with it and completed a full army using the Wood Elf/Cadian conversions here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/253419.page . His even includes a tutorial on how to make those types of guardsmen.

If you want to do recon, there's a number of ways to do it - do you want to go the modern route and make it a force that uses the best tech it can? Or do you want to make it a low-tech, hiding amongst the leaves and trees recon force?

And, yes, at least for a recon force, 12 basilisks is too many. Now, if you want to make an artillery company, that's another matter entirely.

See the fluff i had was there world is like canada with all the trees and snow if you can see where i am aiming at so i guse low tech.
The 12 basilisks is for apoc games with 15 lemon russ and 1 mabe 2baneblades(i hope to get all that soon )
and your link dosent work.

Interesting concept - the forest-world concept is pretty similar to Tanith in Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts books. Hm. Interesting concept - especially with the snow. Sort of a cross between the Tanith and the Valhallans....

Fixed the link, btw.

I would say more tanith than Valhallans. like this pic
