I'll paint them first. They're all ready to go except I have to build the bases for the leaping marines. Was going to do that tonight but I was stymied by lack of the materials I wanted to use. However, I realized I had a perfectly acceptable alternate on hand and hope to finish the builds and get the airbrushing done on the morrow (Sunday).

Edit: Vit guessed it by PM on the first shot. Guess it wasn't much of a mystery.

What is it?

My first and only guess was [REDACTED BY IMPERIAL RECORDS], but I could be wrong. Granted they are the only thing I can think of when I hear "black" and "them" and you're not a BA player (thus not needing "chaplains" )

death company, chaplin, or ninja scouts?

Stay on the path, young ones. Their will be a new clue tomorrow. (or perhaps today... have to decide when the week starts)

Did I say "them"? I don't recall...

A company of Chaplains?

OH yes, a chaplain squadron! Dozens of them flying in formation... With megaphones... exhorting the faithful on to victory.

Death Watch.

Iron Hands? Raven Guard? Black Templars?

Ah, see? NOW we're thinking outside the box!

Ring wraith set?

The USS Enterprise sporting Black Motifs?

Assassins?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Skaven?

Come on guys, it aint that hard...

I'd better give you the second clue...


Clue #1: "Black" figures prominently.
Clue #2: It has nothing to do with this year's Adpeticon version of my army.


OH, and if you guess correctly, I will let you know by PM so it doesn't spoil the fun for everyone else.

Legion of the Damned?

A rare 1999 Warhammer Fantasy Black Orc?

Actually the odds of that are pretty low. I second the Legion of the Damned.

Legion of the Damned

A unit of allied battle sisters to watch over those rather untrustworthy mantis warriors?

there you go

Ah, there we go... now people are getting it. I thought that last clue would tidy things up a bit. Still the surprise of how I'm going to do it. No clues there... I want it to be a (hopefully) pleasant surprise.

Here's the fully assembled assault marine squad. Next up... painting!

Chaplain

I like'em, now there's a dynamic entry!

Nice!

hmm, with those 2 clues I think I'm going to say....

actually I don't know what to say....

hmm, Chaplain Dreadnaught?

I am going to guess ... A Bad Moon Orc, that has stolen some power Armour hiding in the Dark?

I'm thinking either Legion of the Dammed or Deathwatch

... Am I the only one who wants to see / do this?

Legion of the Damned or Deathwatch gets my vote too.

You've said it, now it must be so. Dakka has spoken!

The squad looks ace all together like that, so dynamic.

No cheating... only one guess per post (unless they're really creative guesses... have been loving those). The clues I've given so far should help you sort out the options. I will add a squadron of chaplains to my "to do" list... but, it'll be down the list a ways.

so it isn't a chaplain dreadnaught...

is there such a thing a a DeathWatch Dreadnaught? if so that!
