Hi
I'm planning to build up a 2k points IG army with :

3 Leman Russ (no variants)
2 Colossi
1 Manticore
1 Medusa

The thing is, while I love the aspect of throwing pies all over the place, I dislike the fact that this army is pretty hard to make it feel unique.
It might feel heavy and cheesy.

I want to make them feel unique, fluffy, and really terrifying.
3 Carnifexes are terrifying. 3 Leman Russ are will end up looking like urban war terrain.

Please really need advice...

Don't think it will be cheesy in anyway. Game wise the template chuckers are not that great but in terms of looks just treat each tank like a character.

Give them lots of baggage ect so they do not look so plain add some tank commanders.

Sort of like this.



Thats a tank that will be part of an armoured company.

You could give them all names to?

man that one IS nice
Yes giving them names is a great idea !
another idea i read in wd consists in painting something on the cannon for each tank / MC kill

Why ain't pie spam good ? if you protect your flanks with melta guards and bane wolves it should be really powerfull in game...

I think what bothers me most is the fact that 3 non vareanted Leman Russ feels ... no sponsoons, no nothing, even with tons of sand bags i'm not sure...

other ideas ?

You mean like this on the gun?



With the artillery units maybe try and make the loading areas look like the crew live there? Put some bags maybe cups ect on it? But if you do the same kind of work as you do on your battle tanks they should look pretty hot. Add some spare shells to? Maybe have one of the manticors missiles off like it has already fired?

DAMN DAT DOG AND DEM SKULLZ

Haha ok you won this one, I love the idea of them living in the tank.

Oh god, now i wanna make a catachan dude turning his BBQ over on the rear with sunglasses while his friend loads up a Colossus Shell
