Second Update:

Im adding Four (4) Veteran Squads to the army (they would be A+ Class units in the Soviet Orbat) to do them I will Follow Haij long coated vets plus our torso.

The Next images reprsents the "conceptual stage" of the Chimeras for the vets.
Bear in Mind that the MT-LB is the workhorse of this army; so an update version of the MT-LB will be (i think) in context with the army.

Upgraded MT-LB


Bitz Used:
Old Crow Models Point Defense Turret.
Games Workshop Sentinel Multilaser and storage Box.

Well Gentlemen I need your help...

Im just not sure of what turret the MBT must have so, I present to you these optios so we can discuss, create and therefore I can make my own mind

T-62 A
T-62 front
T-80
T-90
T-55
T-55 Enigma
E series with or without Sovietization
E-50 Panzer "as is"

T-72 Category
Ural or Type 99
Ukranian Update
another shot
an hybrid using this schematic


really my friends I need to break this creative deadlock

To my mind the rear mounted turret look smore like the prototype and better on the Chimera's. Your Heavy Mortars look brilliant. The Griffons are simply superb although you'll have to make sure people don't think they are Manticores before the game.

@Llamahead: I will keep in mind the disclaimer; thanks for that, I do prefer the rear mounted turret version.

My idea is to make two MBTs Inspired in this monster and two gun plataforms maybe bombards, maybe something like Tinners or maybe some SU-203

what has been no so great

it a chimera related incident.... nobody was hurt... except my little plastic soviets in space....

All the NCOs, COs and XOs fared well


But the special weapon specialist took some flesh wounds... and a political officer went the single handed command way.






To rattlings went M.I.A.



The Storm Troopers took quite some glory (the sole survivors of alfa and Vympel squads)

what is really amazing...

It the chance to retake this project.
Repair, rebuild and best myself.

So, let us begin.

Project ONE.

CCS

3 plasma gunners.
3 melta Gunners.
4 Snipers.
2 C.Os (with and attitude)
1 MoO.
1 MoFlt.

And a damm good Loking Chimera.

also for the Joy of It

A lemann Russ for General Grizmun.

wish me succes; Im already lucky.

I started to play WH40k in the middle of third edition; in a Power Armor dominated enviroment; it was a setting where the army revolved around the HQ/ lord set-up, its performance and its ability to whipe out the gaming table, and there, coming from playing WHFB (the empire) I did choose imperial guard; one of the habits I did developed from that era was not to consider, not even suffer the dissmis of my HQ (let the marine dude save his beloved hero) It was just another tool in the army (and a great one, leadership bubble , weapon teams and sentinels...)

But in this days of the Warlord I have to lear to protec my own; not to use my own as bait, counter unit or legal gaming obligation.

whithout further ideas:

Company Command Squad SOKOL-00

Bitz used:

Pig Iron Kolony Militia Heads.
Max Mini custom Torsos.
Games Workshop Plasma Guns.
Games Workshop Cadian legs and arms.
Games Workshop space Marine ammo pouches.






Company Command Squad SOKOL-01

Bitz used:

Pig Iron Kolony Militia Heads.
Max Mini custom Torsos.
Games Workshop Melta Guns.
Games Workshop Cadian legs and arms.
Games Workshop space Marine ammo pouches.

Company Command Squad SOKOL-02

Bitz used:

Cammo Cloak still W.I.P.






Still to be Done:

1.- Chimeras for SOKOL-00,01
2.- Geral Grizmund MBT.
3.- Odeon Mindoras.
4.- Ordo sepultorum Inquisitor.
5.- Myndoras Chimera
6.- Myndoras Valk after sanctioned platesting.

Last but not least a group shot.

Im painting this chap in order to hone my homble painting skills and paint the HQs

wich brings me... do you remember wargames foundry WWII paints?? yes, that ones that I used but are out of sale... well here is an answer from them:

Hi Leon,

We do have a limited stock of most of the discontinued WWII paints, if you tell me which you need I can check the stock and make them available to you that way.

Thanks,

Alex.

and now some images.




[I][I][I]

Greetings gentlemen, before sharing my questions with you, I tried the traditional aproach of asking forge world some rules questions...

ant the result was this:

On 19 September 2012 06:32, Leon Felipe Banegas <entemaligno@gmail.com> wrote:
Greetings:

First of all; thank you for your great rules and your great great models.

Second, a few questions:

1.- Regarding The Armoured Battlegroup army List, in Imperial Armour Volume I:

-How is the Slick Loader Skill goin to be applied to a leman russ; now that it is a heavy vehicle(p 83 rulebook) ??

Can I move within 6 and shoot the battlecanon twice as it is considered stationary?
Does it requiere an abscence of movement to shoot two times?

1.2- As general Grizmund and the Grace of Throne are an HQ option for an I.G. army or an armoured battlegroup; can he be the warlord in a standar warhammer 40k game.?

- If so; dos he has a leadership value?

-In this train of thoughts; can the Throne buy Ace Crew Skill?

2.- Regarding Siege of Vraks volumes I, II, III...

- Is and update of the renegades lists updates to be spected soon?
- Are the "old" updates still available?

3.- Regarding The Imperial Armour Aeronautica:

- Is the Avenger Strike Fighter based on a Su-25 froogfoot or an A-10 warthog?
- Is is possible to read some desingners notes regarding on its creation (rules wise)??
-Is other Valkyrie "gunship" variant being considered?


Untill then and thanks in advance.

--- Forge world Formal answer ----

Hi there.

The Imperial Armour volume 1 will be re-published very soon with updated rules for all of the units and army lists contained within.

---- end of Forge world formal answer-----


So noble generals wich is your interpretation of my questions in points 1 and 1.2?
Thanks in advance.

Awesome work dude, just awesome! I've just started a Guard Army based on a German WW2 theme- I've got a lot of inspiration from this thread!

Obyekt 165 KV-I Demolisher.
now with rivets.

Bitz used:

Games Workshop Leman Russ MBT
Plasticard
Old Crow models gun. (founded in my bitz box)










Im pondering if adding the sponsons of not in tis edition.

love the style of this army! count me subscribed!

Really liking the cold war aesthetic you've got going on here. Also, that tank looks excellent. Love that turret!

@Rogue Wolves: most welcome aboard sir!!!

@A Kvlt Ghost: Thanks!!, if somebody is willing and able to cast that turret in resin, wi could make wonders.

Greetings Gentlemen; the Commisar tank has just arrived.

propagandistical photo with de Boyard (KV-demolisher) included.



Also, a minor detail with de Boyard; the hull weapon is detachable and magnetized.



Until then.

Wow I love that tank

... an so we continue:

It has been a week since I received my own copy of this....



so, after some proper drooling; I went to the proper study of the armoured battlegroup list.
(if anybody is willin to talk abouth that subject, be kind enought to send me a private message)


So, Commisar tanks are no longer HQ but elites; therefore we have two choices:

a) Command tank with battle canon
b) Command tank with autocannons and heavy bolters

or.... Command tank, battle canon and comisar tank with.... you know

other of the list changes is the posibility to field Thunderer tank platoons so, Im toying with the idea of making to of those beast.

Theme wise, Im somewhat dissapointed, a Politruk tank giving a LD bubble to the weapon teams and sporting a mat black turret was just to good to let it pass.

Your Thoughts?

Like the scratch built stuff and interesting Imperial Army concept

ariobarzanes wrote:
and comisar tank with.... you know

A sword launcher?!

Was I close?

@Nowland. actually that would be even better than the exterminator autocannon turret i was thinking of.

@jehan-reznor: thanks!! this army is my personal eternal quest for a great theme and a gerat army.
I started playing IG since mid third edition and util late 4 edition I had the means and conditions to make it happen.

any thoughts in the composition of a HQ leman russ??


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Due to the "dark arts" of a friend of mine the Boyard (demolisher) turrets are done.






the original plan was to field 2 Boyards with triple bolters or plasma canons; but as you can see now I have three spare turrets.

any suggestions?

The Boyard (KV-I russ demolisher) is taking shape.

White basecoat and black preshade.
Astronomican grey wash.
Dark yellow.
shades with pastel (earth tone)







We intend this cammo
