mertbl Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So after a long break from the game, Ive decided to start playing again. I had a good start 10 years and just boxed it up and left the game. Now im going through trying to repair and retool my army. This is my journey/story. I have most of this stuff, its just mostly grey or primed black. Comes out close to 1850 (doing it by memory and ive changed it so often recently i struggle to remember.) Regiment: Screaming 814th. They've been at war for so long they dont even claim a home world anymore. Hq: Pask in vanquisher with vanquisher sidekick. Both with lascannons. (Hoping I can knock out one enemy battle tank with these guys a turn.) Elite: 5 man scion squad, 2 meltas, sgt w/pfist. Troops: 4x vet squads in chimeras. Various special weapon loadout. All carapace armor. 2x vets w/ autocannons and carapace. These guys will camp on deployment objectives. Heavy: exterminator with heavy bolters all around 2 eradicators for that ignore cover goodness. 2 wyverns because wyverns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mertbl Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Local game store had a buy one get one 50% off. 5 scions are now on station with 5 more due to deep strike in about a week. Really tempted to buy the two hydra kits on their shelf. But the commisar could not be convinced of their need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 That's great, hopefully we can see them soon :) As for the Hydras/Wyverns you've plenty to keep yourself busy with for now :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 The emperor delivers!!! (In the shape of the usps.) Today i received 13 heavy weapons teams bases, 3 heavy flamer arm sets that i bought on ebay. I also got my order of plasma and melta guns from mad robot minis. He was super cool and threw in 4 sniper rifles too. Now i need to kick this nurgle and get out to my work station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I got some bits recently too, mostly Marine but I did nab a few Guard things as well. Tell Nurgle where to go and get your glue out :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpine Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 In my opionin, I would go all Russ or all Ordance.. I know sometimes company's do get mixed, but that's the way I would go. All Russ!!! It is said (I rember WD 252, think it was) that they often take squads in Chimeras. It makes sence, when going into city or woodland you need infantry to disembark and exsplore the terrain. I wounder if these squads are part of the tank company or attached from a infantry platoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Stop teasing us with text... The Commissariat requires photos! :) Have you decided on a paint scheme yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 http://s1045.photobucket.com/user/mertbl84/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160125_132908_zps6dqhj5hm.jpg.html?o=0 First squad "Done" I'd say its rough table top quality. Looks way better than grey plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Painted models always look better than unpainted :) Well done on finishing the squad, what's next? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Some heavy weapons probably. Then another 3 plasma vet squad. Then a 3 melta vet squad. Then another... Scions will be done as frustration with normal boots rises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It's good to keep things varied where possible, as long as you find a system that works for you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Haha You should probably do it the other way around Regular guardsmen get done when frustration with painting scions rises I like their models but they're a bugger to paint. I still have a bucket load of them I haven't painted yet. Looking good although need a bit better lighting in the pics hard to see detail ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Finished another vet squad with 3 plasma guns and vox. Also started working on my enginseer. Went with tan/khaki robes so he'll match the army. I like the look more than the standard red. Painted my first scion. Khaki cloth and blue armor. Do not like it at all. Way too bright. Probably strip it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 We're not the ones who talked about all the cool work we were doing but didn't show it off Next time just say you'll be posting up the pictures later, saves us the disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Played my first game of my escalation league Thursday night. 600 points. I took CCS w/lascannon and vox. 5 man scion squad w/2 meltaguns, 1 platoon, pcs had heavy flamer and 3 flamers, had 2 infantry squads, 1 vox and autocannon and 1 autocannon, Vets with 3 plasma guns and carapace, wyvern. My opponent was tyranids with tervigon, 3 zoanthropes, 2 5 man genestealer broods. Took it all the way to turn six, i had an unscathed wyvern and he had an unharmed tervigon. He won 6-5, custom mission for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Sounds like a close fought game, I'm assuming the Wyvern was invaluable here? Enough for you to get a second later? We're still waiting on those pictures you promised too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 The wyvern did work. Lots of hits on the genestealers and zoanthropes in ruins. It was really helpful. The blob squad with a priest and the pcs flamer squad definitely did well also. Im torn between another wyvern or thudd guns. The pictures will be delayed. My laptop is dead and replacing it just isnt a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
