TPS plays Path to Glory with Salamanders

[TPS]

I managed to talk some friends into a silly new project: build randomized armies using the Path to Glory system, wage epic (and random) battles and have a good time.

 

For those who don't know what Path to Glory is: you create a 6x6 roster of 'retinue' models (usually infantry and the occasional light vehicle), a 1x6 roster of vehicles and a 1x6 roster of Characters, then you roll dice to determine what units get added to your army.

 

Since I was settled on doing an Imperium army (the other guys chose Chaos and Orks), but kind of undecided what Imperial faction I wanted to do, I decided to draw a random Magic card from a pile of unsorted cards and see if it provided any inspiration. My card was a red and green Giant Shaman. The Promethean Cult passes quite well as a 40k version of shamanism, and Space Marines are certainly bigger than average humans. Salamanders it is!

 

For starters, we decided to get a cool HQ each (Waaaghboss, Chaos Lord, Captain) and roll for additional units with a total power level of 25.

 

Here's the starting force of Captain Ran'Dom the Inconsistent:

 

 

Oh boy.

 

Wish me luck!
