Alot has happened recently between my 11 month old son almost dying from an allergic reaction and my grandmother dying this morning. Sorry guys but for a little bit here I will be rather busy with things much less fun than the Shields. I will be back.

Oh Thats really bad sorry for the bad luck mate...

It's ok Ash, I am still working on the shields when time permits. I got my second AoBR dread in the mail today also. That gives me the pcs I needed to make my converted dread.

Yeah Sorry. Its just when I hear all the bad things in the world it also reminds me how bad the world is and I wish it sometimes would just be a little better and not so sad. sorry to hear about that having a kid almost die is a very very scary experience I had a similar thing when I was working in the summer except the kid started swelling at the neck. I pleaded for them to take him away from the area. But the said he would be fine, they didn't listen and it happened again and we got him out of there. And I deemed them unfit for duty and I took matters into my own hands and sent the kid home, but to hospital first of course.

Good call friend. I do know that the world has a nasty tendency to be cold at times but it's the little blessings that make it ok.

My condolences, Tony. But you still have your son, so there's hope yet for the world, eh?

Thanks Void. Don't let this distraction stop this thread in its tracks please. I'm not lying when I say reading the posts here and elsewhere really help me to forget life for a min or two.

No offense dude, but I think what's happened to you is a bit more important than this thread. But being able to forget about the real world can also be really nice sometimes, I agree.

I'm afraid I'm quite too busy to contribute anything at all to this thread right now.

I hope at some point void we'll all be able to come back here.

Sorry for your loss, did they arrive?

Sorry to hear about your bad news, its never a easy thing to live through.

On a lighter note, I think you could have the Monster of all conversions with this project.

IMAGINE, a Venerable Ironclad, Sporting a Massive Oversize Shield...... Yup, with a a Built in Melta or Siege Drill. Like some hulking great Spartan Warrior of Old. It would look amazing and kick Bjorn the Fell handed off the Top dreadnought perch!

Bjorn fails.

The Best dreadnought of all time is ....... The Emperor! Shields!

I just may have to do that...

Oh and Scribor does this model, which frankly is astonishing and should definitely be used as a Champion...

And for spares and odds and sods check out scribors conversion parts. AMAZING I could literally spend thousands of pounds there, my current projects are numerous but my Pre-Heresy 1k sons using all the Egyptian parts are coming along... Cool eh?

I plan on picking that fellow up at some point for sure! I already picked up some crested helms and such for these guys but if I order again it will have to be for an amount that makes the shipping worth it

Yeah. Those models are beautifully well done. I don't know what model to use for the captain D:.
I going to name the Captain Agro (after the Agronaunts from Golden Fleece Tale.)
I think I will give him a double bladed axe with a Storm Shield and a Astrates Grenade Launcher.
And I need to start working some stuff for the battle force. I will update you when I get anything interesting.

I love the combo of Relic Blade, Storm Shield and Aux 'nade launcher. The ability to smash a Krak or Frag into someone as you charge in is brilliant and often gives you the edge in the fight, not cheap though.

No it is not. Plus a jump pack its a lot of points but it is going to be worth it when he gets into combat.

Where have I seen this before

Seeing as how this project is meant to be coming back to life, thought I'd just bump it.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, I've been thinking about the rules for Scout equivelants.

They'd wear 'Armour of The Aspirant' which would be 4+, naturally. They'd be armed with one of the unique close-combat weapons to the codex; the Honour Blade. Every Aspirant must forge his own, make it his own, and learn the unique style of fighting that comes with it. As the Blade is made of ultra-lightweight metal found only on the home planet of the Shields, in combination with the unique fighting style, they get +1 Initiative in combat when fighting with it. However, the fighting style requires full concentration on becoming one with the Honour Blade, so much so that no other weapon will be useable.

Besides, there's no honour in blowing your enemies' head off with a bolt pistol..

or a explosive coller....

Another idea, similar to the Pain Tokens of the DE.

Army-wide Special Rule:

For Honour, for Glory!

For every unit wiped out in close-combat or vehicle destroyed in a Death or Glory attempt the unit gains one of the following USRs until the end of the game, generated at random as shown on the table by rolling a D6 and applying the result. Re-roll the dice if a result is repeated again for the same unit.

1 = Fearless
2 = Stubborn
3 = Furious Charge
4 = Counter-Attack
5 = Preferred Enemy
6 = Rage

Tony! Get on dakka!

How would everyone on here feel about me creating a thread in Proposed Rules for all the rules I'm creating?

Well, I assume nobody will mind. Just putting it out there so that people know.
