SyNidus Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 So I've updating my Night Lords. Here's the question:Should I use the new sculpts from Shadowspear or use the betrayal at calth Mark IV marines?On one hand, I am planning to get oblits and I do like the bigger sculpts...On the other hand, I have always dreamed of having a horus heresy army. With the B@C, i can always use my marines both in 30k and 40k. Plus a friend is getting me a Night Lord Praetor.Which would you guys go for?

MegaVolt87 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 You could do Mk IV as chosen, shadow spear CSM as regular troopers. Best of both worlds. I got a mix of Mk III- MkVII in my IW myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyNidus Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Nah, not using chosen. And i'm planning go with only one option because I'm trying to save money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I'd say go with the B@C - since it's a bit older you're more likely to find better deals, and you'll be able to pledge the whole box for ETL rather than just the chaos marines of Shadowspear ;) Also, you seem to be rather more focussed on the marines and obliterators rather than the extra stuff like the venomcrawler and greater possessed, and I imagine the Oblitetarators will come as stand alone sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyNidus Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Actually that's a fair point really. Yeah i don't care much for the venomcrawler or the other models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaVolt87 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Well, as far as price goes, since I am mainly using $AUD, everything is expensive so price differences between Mk IV and new CSM's not much different for me anyway which is why I have been buying whole kits over bits. 10+ years ago it was cheaper to get bits for small units/ conversions. Even going 3rd party its like this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Actually that's a fair point really. Yeah i don't care much for the venomcrawler or the other models. Well since it seems you like the old models, and you like the Night Lords (some real history there) and you want to save money then I think the BaC set is probably a good suggestion.

Doctor Perils Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Plus, if you end up not wanting the whole box you can sell some on to another player to have another Heresy player near you, or you could paint them up as two legions to play the board game itself (which is actually pretty enjoyable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyNidus Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 I would've been happier to have the mark IV with the same proportions as the new CSM models, oh well! Yeah thanks for the feedback guys, it's made the decision easier for me. Doctor Perils 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
