<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "New Year New Army"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net New Year New Army 40K project but am seeking some guidance in its creation.

Idea:
A specialized force made by the Inquisition (Ordo Sepulturum to be exact), to fight the arising Zombie Plague around the eye of Terror. The army will have a Bio-Hazard/Rapid Response feel to it.

Army:
For the army I will start off with a Imperial Guard force most likely built around veterans and later on a force of Astartes seconded to the Ordo for the same purpose.

My question to you fine folks is how would you suggest going about building an army like this? I would also like to make it clear that this is going to be a fun thematic army. I am hoping to get a good conversation going to get the creative juices flowing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8336846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8336846.page GMT New Year New Army
First thing that came to mind was this..

Tempestus Valkaryie formation - Essentially this concept to me is a QRF. I think Tempestus even look like a hazmat style warfighter with their combat gear.

Some other ideas that you could fit in..
Librarious Conclave - Zombie plague, eye of terror, sounds like you need some psychers of your own. Could add some nice bonuses to your force, along with a pretty cool HQ force.

Inquisition - Some Ordo inquisitors, maybe some troops if you want.

Assassins - I think including 1 or more could be a cool spin on things, depending on the threat level you want in your fluff.. since assassins are deployed in the most dire of circumstances.

Fluff wise, I'm looking at having "outpost" on the planets around the Eye that the Inquisition use to monitor the world's for signs of the Zombie Plague. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8336947.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8336947.page GMT Re:New Year New Army ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8336975.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8336975.page GMT New Year New Army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8336992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8336992.page GMT New Year New Army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337042.page GMT New Year New Army
I would first decide what point level you want to design this around.. it is hard to come up with ideas on what you should bring for a game and be fluffy and not know how many points to work with.

plasma or melta weaponry I could see being viable.. I picture "DOOM" right.. some guys are just really big zombies and take more than a normal solid shot or flamer to take down.

Might consider some artillery pieces "for when the horde gets to big for the ground troops to handle"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337052.page GMT New Year New Army
I could see plasma fitting in but it wouldn't be in widespread use...they are guardsmen after all haha. I was also think about grenade launchers as a main stay as well.

When it comes to artillery I was leaning towards Wyverns, most likely a unit of 3 in the 1500 list. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337065.page GMT New Year New Army
If you use Toraux (sp?) for your veterans that's probably fine as well (armored bus kinda of look to them)

Absolutely.

I am currently in the process of designing an Iyanden Recon Force. mainly because I like Iyanden fluff, but prefer more fast mobile forces.

I need to rework some of the points.. but essentially for my 2000 points:
Seer council
Rangers
MSU (2+1 special) windrider squads
2 Hornet squads
Fire prism
Crimson Wing

For larger games, I can always chuck in a WraighKnight.. Lords.. I also like to run Yriel with wraithgaurd in a "command" wave serpent.
I am almost done painting the entire force, and it looks amazing on the table =) Well worth the time and effort!

I'm hoping mine will be worthy of being on the table haha. Scheme wise I'm undecided on to go with modern military camo or Black Ops Black.


i really like tempestus as they are. My taste though =) Hope you post pictures once stuff starts getting built/painted!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337265.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337265.page GMT New Year New Army FW, but really awesome.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337278.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337278.page GMT New Year New Army DKoK actually. Had thought bout Cadians for the urban organized look but Death Korps opens up more modeling choices I think.. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674218/8337360.page GMT
