Hewkers Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi Guys, Long time 40K players, first time guard player. I have started a blog to follow the progress of my fledgling regiment. There is a draft of the fluff behind the regiment on the blog http://vessen409th.blogspot.co.uk/ I am looking to post some pictures of my miniatures over the next couple of days. They will be up on the blog too, If anyone has a blog that they want me to link to on my blog just let me know. Check out the blog and let me know what you think Cheers Hewkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Cool colour scheme, I like the hoods. They kind of remind me of the Jawas (is that how it's spelled?) from Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Welcome to the Guard Hewkers :D While we discussed the potential uses of the AdMech stuff for Guard this is the first time we've seen any. Works very well especially with the colour scheme, looking forward to seeing more :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Sounds like we have much to look forward to :) Do you have overall plans for how your army will grow? From your write up I'm guessing we'll see plenty of armour ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewkers Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 yes plenty of armour. looking to add some rough riders using the space marine scout bikers that is the next purchase and conversions. got to get the rest finished though . . . .

our_baz Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Welcome to the guard. Real unique look you have there, never thought of kit bashing admech and the Cadian kits, they really work well together. The colour scheme really fits too.mlook forward to seeing more.

GrandMagnus Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I still think the colour scheme and the hoods are a great touch. The figure with the purple coat next to the techmarine, what role does he play in your army? Commander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewkers Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 There are two similar ones with the coats and I use them as primaris psykers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I may be late to this little party but welcome to the Guard! Interesting concept using the Ranger heads. It's not heresy exactly but best to light another candle for the Emperor. While we're at it, best give a little extra coin in the coffers, too. I, er, I mean we of the cloth could use some new...incense. Yeah, that'll work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewkers Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 So i have a game coming up on Friday and have posted my 2000pt army list on the Blog. Any advise you guys can give? Also, i have started to make my own board (progress is on the Blog), any tips you guys have on where i can go next? http://vessen409th.blogspot.co.uk/ Hewkers out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It'd be easier if you listed your armies in the army lists section as that's where the tactical list discussion happens. Another Wyvern would go far and I wouldn't mix specials on the Vet squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 That's odd, was it a particular error and not because the site was preventing you from posting again too quickly (flood prevention)? Bug reports section is here to report all xenos errors with the site :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icepick Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I've just looked at your blog... man you built some nice stuff there! I very much like your idea of putting the skitarii heads on the guardsmen; a simple measure, yet it makes your guys look very different to the standard cadian. Do you also hate to paint faces like i do? This certainly is a great way to avoid doing that. What bugs me a little is that some of the moldlines on the hoods are rather... prominent. You might take a little extra time on future models to shave them of and further augment your otherwise very clean style. Also i think your veterans are the first guard models i see that have purple in their scheme. An unusual choice to say the least, but you certainly make it work. Are you going to do some highlighting on the armorplates? I think your guys would profit from that. I can't really comment much on your list, since my experience on the tabletop is yet rather limited. But i think you've made solid choices there.
