Dusktiger Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 so as an early xmas gift, i got a copy of Gangs of Commoragh, which led me to sit down and try to hash out a 1000pt list to make out of them and the existing cult models i had from my Ynnari list near the end of 7th. here's what i came up with, loosely picking out the wargear for the stuff in the Gangs' box to go with what i have: ++ Outrider Detachment +1CP (Aeldari - Drukhari) [48 PL, 979pts] ++Faction Keyword Filter: <Kabal>, <Wych Cult>+ HQ +Succubus [4 PL, 72pts]: Splinter pistol <this i haven't made yet; going to use either spare bodies from my venom and raider kits, or maybe the 10th model in the unassembled wych box set to kitbash it>+ Troops +Kabalite Warriors [3 PL, 50pts]. 3x Kabalite Warrior. Kabalite Warrior with special weapon: Blaster. Sybarite: Splinter Rifle+ Elites +Hekatrix Bloodbrides [7 PL, 125pts] <this unit isnt built yet, only have a few models assembled, so it has some flex>. 7x Hekatrix Bloodbrides.

Helliarch: Hellglaive. 9x HellionReavers [5 PL, 114pts]: Grav-Talon <had one of these prior, and this how it was built, minus the blaster; ill swap a basic guy for a blaster guy out of the 6 i gotta build>.

WarriorFish Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I've long thought the Fast Attack options for DE were good, though I don't have any experience with them yet. It'll be glass cannon++ but if you can manoeuvre right it could be mitigated. I think that given the frail nature of most DE numbers is your best safety - along with hitting quickly and hard to make sure the enemy don't have numbers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusktiger Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 true, though in most cases, DE are glass cannons regardless of what unit you look at. i think the important thing with them is to focus on the models you like and have fun with it, instead of getting bent about stuff dying on the table. one of the things i wanna try and do is make the different units be in different colors to represent that its a coterie of different gangs and cults coming together to go on a raid. Since some of it was already built and used in my Ynnari force in 7th, a portion of it is already painted red (mostly the Kabal elements). So the reavers i have an idea to do in black with red body plating, on bikes that'll have red on the body of the bike around the seat with the rest of the bike black, with the arena champions having more red than black to tie them together with the Ynnari stuff.The 10 hellions i wanna do a different color, but haven't decided on what yet. any suggestions you guys might have on that would be great. I do have a spray can each of Averland Sunset, and The Fang which i was thinking might be good colors. Maybe The Fang on the hellions on the armoured areas? the Wyches will be black suits, with the armoured bits being red, and the harder armour points being golds. Once i get a test mini in the reivers and the wyches fully painted, i'll post pics of what i'm going for. WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Indeed, the core to enjoying any army I think :) Plus until DE get a codex no point in worrying too much about how competitive you are, as the index is just DE lite! I like the sounds of the colours and gangs should work nicely, so looking forward to seeing the pictures :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusktiger Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 so here's the first pics of the test scheme for the reavers, and the tentative name for them will be the Cult of the Bloody Widow: Commander Dawnstar, WarriorFish and Lord Asvaldir 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Really nice colours and so cleanly done too, great work and a good name for them to bear too :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusktiger Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Bike # 2 comes along. now the overall theme starts to appear. The one with the tan Stripe is to denote it has a special weapon underneath it to make it easier to spot on the table.

WarriorFish Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Like the stripe (and what it denotes), you're making speedy progress. I've got a squad I'll get round to one day :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusktiger Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 little more work on the squad, got the champion to build yet, but i gotta decide how i want to do it differently to stand out, plus kitbash an agoniser onto it.

WarriorFish Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Looking very nice, be careful with it though they break so easily :( Even my partially assembled Raider managed to get badly broken... :confused: Legionnaire of the VIIth 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
