Hello everybody. I've had an idea!

I want to get 17 gamers together, online, to re-create the chapters of the Badab War and I couldn't think of a better place than the Bolter and Chainsword to do it. Each person could choose a chapter from the war and I thought we would start off by building a 5 man squad and posting our progress on this forum.

Let me know which chapter you want as the first person to request a chapter, on this post, will be the only person who can use that chapter. Perhaps we could all go on to create a character or a vehicle in round 2.

Personally, I would like to make some raptors after recently reading Deliverance Lost. I like their colours, I've got a load of MK 6 helmets I can use and I want to try to add some convincing corrosive damage. I want to give some of the new citadel paints a try and I may even try airbrushing the models so there's a few new techniques there that I'm going to try out.

I don't want to impose too many rules and restrictions but I would ask that the first squad of 5 marines be completed by the last day of May. If you like the idea then let me know which chapter you would like to build.

Let's go.

Much as I regret doing challenges that have a time limit... 5 guys sounds doable. Dibs on the Red Scorpions. :(

What would the time limits on each round be like?
If they're doable I wouldn't mind putting myself down for the Sons of Medusa.

I want all future time limits to be realistic and easily achievable for people with busy lives. I can't imagine any would be less than a month. Also, there's no restrictions on points limit or unit type so 5 terminators or 5 scouts would be fine. For now, this post is just for fun. Things may get more serious / strict in the future but for now I just want to give people a bit of motivation to build something they may not have even considered.

Well I have a few things coming up in the next few months-exams and charity work in Peru mainly, but if it's just the odd model I should be able to make at least some headway with it! Dibs on the Sons of Medusa!

It makes sense to me that if the Tactical Marine intercepts the bullet with his face then the Captain really shouldn't lose his Iron Halo. Not unless Captain and Battle Brother were hugging at the time, in which case it's: bullet shorts out shield and then kills Marine. Captain looks on shocked as Marine slides down his body, then sinks to his knees shouting "nooooooooooo" with his hands in the air.

What?! We can't have me making choices, that'd lead to death. I'll flip a coin. Heads says Scorpions, tails says Claws. And the winner is....Scorpions. Right, if you're willing to switch, then that'd be great. I'm so much better at painting grey than at blue/silver.

I have about 2500 pts of unpainted marines and Badab War has always be my favorite fluff for marines. I have decide to try and complete my Salamanders force. Hopefully this goes better then my lpc, which i failed this year (starting to hate seeing grey unpainted marines).

Well, I have never painted any miniatures and have been looking for a reason to start. I've been wanting to give it a try for a while.

I think I like the Star Phantoms. But is white too much of a challenge for a nooooob.

Not with the new paints, I'd say. I find it relatively easy, and I can't paint, so you should have it easy.

not so bad, actually; Base with Rakarth Flesh base, make a mix of 50/50 Rakarth Fleshand White Scar and go over the entire model, wash with a watered down Asurmen Blue wash, then go back over it with the Rakarth mix again, just over the raised areas. Highlight with White Scar, and you should be good!

Actually, we could probably run through the whole narrative using vassal in addition to building the armies if we have interest in doing that. It'd give me even more incentive to get the army done.

Meh, not sure how I feel about that. Does vassal allow a Tyrant's list? (never used vassal before...)

I'm famously slow at painting, but I've started making progress on my 40K army in recent weeks, and I'd love to get into this with a Chapter whose colour scheme I could get done pretty quickly. And at the pace metioned in the thread, I think I could get a handle on it.

I'm in for the Minotaurs, if that's all good. (Not just for the colour scheme, but because I want to write about them at some point, and I'm good pals with the guy at Forge World who played them in the original campaign.)
Note: Everything I say is my own personal opinion as hobbyist, a novelist, and the world's slowest painter. It's not intended to reflect back on Games Workshop in any professional context.

Sure, I'll trade a Chapter with Forge World shoulder pads, transfers, and Rhino doors, for... for...

No. No, wait.

Otherwise, I'd have been tempted by the Executioners or Lamenters.
