<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "[Poll] What should Ian do until the Guard book comes out?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/7.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net [Poll] What should Ian do until the Guard book comes out? http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/PaniCs_Battle_REports can see, I've mainly been playing with my Slaanesh CSM and my White Scars SM recently, with small detours last year into my Adeptus Arbites and Slaanesh Daemons.

Now Panic only ever plays Nurgle CSM or Eldar. His next project is rebel grots and they'll take AGES, and he really needs to update his Eldar, so basically you're gonna be seeing a lot more Nurgle over the coming months. What army do you think I should construct to play against him? What army do you want to see fighting Nurgle?

Here's what's currently lying in bits in my loft, ready for assembly....

SLAANESH DAEMONS - this army has already been started at http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Ian%27s_Slaaneshi_Daemons. I need to finish it at some point - I want more converted Soulgrinders, Seekers, and some converted Furies, plus track down another Greater Daemon and a Daemon Prince. Maybe a chariot too...

TZEENTCH CSM - I'm going to build a Thousand Sons army out of the old Warhammer Chaos Warriors. Few squads of ghostly Thousand Sons, painted like the ghost army in LOTR, led by sorcerers, plus converted terminators, havocs, chosen and dreadnoughts. All in bits, ready for a P+M blog.

FLAMEY SPAZZ MARINES - A flame-obsessed Salamanders deriviative chapter, painted burgundy with brass detailing, and lots of robes. Requires two Redeemers, and some Dark Angels conversions, plus all my spare marines left over from the White Scar army.

TAU - I got a new influx of models for my canary Tau, which are at http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Ian%27s_Tau_Army. I guess I could clean them up and update them for 5ed. I got some more Crisis suits and vehicles, a load of Firewarriors and Kroot. I'm planning some jetpack Fire Warrior conversions to count as Vespids.

HARLEQUINS - I got a LOAD of Harlequins lying around (reaalllly OOP models). They could be made into a decent Eldar army, with 3 Harley squads, some Harley jetbikers, vypers, Karandras as my Solitaire, and a Harley Wraithlord. VERY difficult army to play with, though.

SISTERS OF BATTLE - I've got a load of Sisters and Imperial Stormtroopers ready for painting (I'm thinking GOLD), but the real reason for this army is that it allows me to go to town with all the old OOP models I can't use anywhere else and make some fantastic Inquisitors and retinues. Plus I can break out my assassins again. On the other hand, my Arbites are basically a Witch Hunters army, and I was playing with them all last year...:/

May isn't that far from now, and we'll probably have previews in April to help shape things prior to initial releases shipping and hitting the shelves.

Oh yeah, I'm working on my Guard tied to the new Codex releasing this year.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/532568.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/532568.page GMT Re:[Poll] What should Ian do until the Guard book comes out? P..

the 3 month cone of silence breaks on february 2nd. I'm hoping that at least by late feb we will have some good reliable codex rumors.

Paint guardsmen with lasguns, heavy and special weapons guardsmen, and chimeras. I haven't heard anything about chimeras getting recut or redone.

Save the command squads for May and wait a bit on the leman russes, the sponson rules will need to be revealed before you can safely glue one of them together.

If you like ogryns, its a safe bet they aren't getting redone and a somewhat safe bet that they will be competitive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/532616.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/532616.page GMT [Poll] What should Ian do until the Guard book comes out? But....
Um...

Both my Imperial Guard armies are pretty specialist (one all footsloggers with ogryns and lots of roughriders, one all mechanised and armoured company). There's also absolutely NO chance of me buying any new models when the new Imperial Guard range come out - I've got enough already. With the IG what I need to know is how many squads I'm gonna have to shuffle around/re-arm/re-convert..

I guess I DO have a lot of tanks still to paint for that mechnised army though...

But on the other hand I'd like to see the codex before I decide on tank weapon loudouts...

Failing that, I'd say work on the guard.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/534559.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/534559.page GMT [Poll] What should Ian do until the Guard book comes out? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/534570.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/534570.page GMT [Poll] What should Ian do until the Guard book comes out? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/539634.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228051/539634.page GMT
