Transition of a force of the unforgiven from 4th to 6th edition 40k

Full Army Photo

As sons of the Lion, as members of the Unforgiven, they sport the colors of their parent Chapter - Legio. The Black and White, the dark Green, Bone and Red, all of it and more.... Grey was added for no reason any who isn't part of the Chapter can know and most of the brothers aren't better off. But does it matter ? A Knights Heraldry is important. The Knights of Calibans Heraldry was important. Then came the Legio. Things changed.

The interest in Keeps however...stays.

A few shots from a passing Imperial navy craft who show the chapters forces deployed to a weird place....

Units in a state of transformation

The original 4th edition Army was painted. Maybe just colorful enough to count as painted but still not a grey horde. To move the whole Army beyond the threshold where it had frozen back in the day, I'll have to improve Models a bit. But the first step to serve the Emperor is to assemble the forces and so I've already built almost everything I need.

Characters:

Models in Tactical dreadnought armor aka Terminator Armor:

riding bikes:

Speeders:

Tanks:

Transports:

Fliers:

Units in power armor:

A lot of grey plastic waiting for me. I think the pics show the amount of added Models and Units nicely.

Army List

The Army is composed of these groups of Models:

1. Leaders
2. Deathwing detachment
3. Ravenwing detachment
4. Greenwing detachment

1. The Headquarters

Models who are not the original GW model but wysiwyg in gear with additional info, along the originals who don't need to have everything spelled out

• Azrael
• Ezekiel ( DV set plastic librarian based )
• Belial ( a captain stern based belial ) Sword, stormbolter.
• Asmodai
• Sammael ( and his Landspeeder )
• Techmarine x2
• company master ( DV set ) sword and combi-plas boltgun.
• company master , ( old model ) sword , boltpistol
• company master , ( 4th ed model ) , sword , boltpistol
• interrogator chaplain, stormbolter
• chaplain, jumppack, combi-melta
• Seraphicus ( DV set )
• to add: ( more librarius members seem the thing to do )

Unnamed characters could receive relics and a place if there is a vacant one, but generally the famous named ones are in before because I tend to favor "real armies" over GW's definition of "army" and thus I end up with more than 1.500 pooints as a small force.

2. Deathwing

• >Belial to command them if alone (190)
• Deathwing command squad: Champion, Apothecary, Deathwing Banner , TH/SS, Heavy flamer (315)
• Deathwing Knights: 10x Knights (465)
• Deathwing Terminator squad 1a: Sgt, assaultcannon, TH/SS, StB/chainfist, StB/PF; (250)
• Deathwing Terminator squad 1b: twin lightning claws, plasma cannon, TH/SS, StB/chainfist, StB/PF; (245)
• Deathwing Terminator squad 2a: Sgt, assaultcannon, TH/SS, StB/chainfist, StB/PF; (250)
• Deathwing Terminator squad 2b: twin lightning claws, plasma cannon, TH/SS, StB/chainfist, StB/PF; (245)
• Deathwing Terminator squad 3: Sgt, Cyclone missile launcher, StB/PF, StB/PF, (TH/SS or StB/chainfist) (250)

the plan is to keep them both as small squads of 5 or combined as squad of 10 but still in a nice ~250 spot.

2. Ravenwing

• Sammael, (200)
• Ravenwing command squad: Champion/blade of caliban, Ravenwing banner ( 140 )
• Ravenwing Black Knights: 10x knights, power maul/melta bombs, 3x GL ( 437 )
• Ravenwing Attack squad 1: 6x bikes, 2x plasmagun, attackbike MM, (LS) ( 246 )
• Ravenwing Attack squad 2: 6x bikes, combi-plas, 2x meltagun, attackbike MM, (LS) ( 246 )
• Ravenwing Attack Squad 3: 6x bikes, 2x flamer ( reserve )
• Landspeeder Tornado 1, Heavy Bolter/ Assaultcannon ( 80 ) , part of Ravenwing attack squad 1 or a Ravenwing support squad
• Landspeeder Tornado 2, Multimelta, heavy flamer ( 70 ) , part of Ravenwing attack squad 2 or a Ravenwing support squad
• ( Ravenwing support squad of Landspeeder tornado 1+2 )
• Landspeeder Darkshroud ( 80 )
• Dark Talon ( 160 )
• Nephilim ( 180 )

the support squadron is the least likely choice since Black knights and LS DS are the common sight right now. I still consider the chance of 5 of them hammering away at a distance as tempting. Maybe 5x Typhoon for a nice storm..

Why I Started This Army

Started them in 4th edition as a mechanized greenwing with only a few Deathwing and Ravenwing elements. Its time to move on now, a shiny new codex awaits!
