Hi all,
In about a week I have 6 weeks holidays from work
The first 2 weeks I will be spending surfing etc, the last 4 weeks are for planning for work and painting. I like to paint my stuff in pods of viable armies. Thus, working on my
SoB and
GK armies (I just sold a lot of my
SoB (so down to my left over unpainted models) and a lot my
GK's have been plain grey for to long).
4 weeks is a hard ask for what I want done but think is viable (I only spray under coat, no air brushing etc all hand paint after undercoat).
Would like some tips on how to change the armies (750pts), if I ever play at this level (may do some pick up games before paint the rest of my armies). I don't think any look super viable
atm. However, this is cause I usually play at 2k-5k+ so any tips on what to expect if I do play at this level (750) appreciated (idk if will, but i like to paint in pods just in case):
Scenery
4x Manufactorium’s
1x Promethium Pipes
1x Sky shield landing pad & 3x Lava mounds out of Styrofoam + PVA etc
Armies
SOB (750) (Battalion 6)
HQ
Celestine (200) (Metal version)
Canoness: Bolt pistol & Power sword (Blade of Admonition) (49) (Veridian)
Troops
6x Battle Sister Squad: 1x meltagun, 1x Flamer, 3x Boltgun, Sup (Combi-melta & Power axe) (104)
• 1x Repressor: 2x Storm bolter, 1x Heavy flamer (112)
6x Battle Sister Squad: 1x meltagun, 1x Flamer, 3x Boltgun, Sup (Combi-melta & Power axe) (104)
• 1x Repressor: 2x Storm bolter, 1x Heavy flamer (112)
7x Battle Sister Squad: 2x Storm bolter, 4x Boltguns, Sup (Storm bolter & Chainsword) (69)
I still have a lot of
SoB left since I sold my main army (so can pretty much suggest anything). Just my first pod of painting so I went normal
BSS over a lot of dominions (to get a variety of weapons and some bolters painted up) and went my Superiors how I like to run the 'superior ones' cause I like painting/converting power axes/combi-meltas, over my converted storm bolter & chainsword Superiors.
The 7x
BSS screen is if don't get first turn. The
BSS in transports obviously advance and shoot from inside vehicle. Would depends on mission, enemy etc. I know people on this forum don't like flamers, but they are an assault weapon (and have always worked well for me) for in repressors and if it gets blown up is good if have to advance etc.
GREY KNIGHTS (750) (battalion 6) EDIT: NEW
GK ARMY 2 POSTS BELOW THIS BECAUSE OF MY STUFF UP
HQ
Grand Master: Terminator armour, Nemesis Demon Hammer, Storm bolter (First to the Frey, Fury of Deimos) (175)
Apothecary: Terminator armour, Nemesis warding stave (90)
Troops
5x Strike Squad: 3x Storm bolters & 3x Pairs of Falchions, 1x Psilencer, Justicar (Storm bolter & Nemesis warding staff) (107)
5x Strike Squad: 3x Storm bolters & 3x Pairs of Falchions, 1x Psilencer, Justicar (Storm bolter & Nemesis Demon Hammer) (120)
5x Strike Squad: 3x Storm bolters & 3x Pairs of Falchions, 1x Psilencer, Justicar (Storm bolter & Nemesis Demon Hammer) (120)
Fast Attack
5x Interceptors: 3x Storm bolters & 3x Pairs of Falchions, 1x Storm bolter & 1x Nemesis warding staff, Justicar (Storm bolter & Nemesis Demon Hammer) (138)
I went Fury over Curious because I want the ranged hit and cause my conversion has an ornate/awesome Storm bolter. I don't like the baby carrier model period so don't own any. The apothecary is just to get a battalion (cheapest
HQ). Plan was to have Apoth, 1x strike, 1x interc deploy norm (out of
los with the strike screening the interceptors, in case enemy has first turn) rest in teleportarium.
GM, 2x strike deploy 9" out and interceptors teleport. Moreover, all strikes are magnatised with Interceptor back packs (I just wanted a battalion).
As said tips appreciated for if I do play these smaller points games.
Cheers
SC
