What Finlay said.

I wouldn't shell out that kind of cash for it, but it's sure nice!

Has anyone looked at these?

The weapons/heads/backpacks would make a good set of non Cadian guardsmen I think! Combined with the Kommisar for the Krieg at least. But would certainly be very gritty, specifically the militia heads, gasmasks etc. They would be like Krieg but without the longcoats. Also, lasguns look rubbish.

Yeah the heads are well sized and a good buy

Grenadiers everytime! Proper elite troops. The only model i've made so far is a sniper, looks cool.

Looks very interesting! I fear that I will be sucked into it...

It would suck me in if it weren't for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Which is looking to be a WoW killer.

Everything is a WoW killer these days.

None of them seem to follow through though.

Personally I think the only thing that will "kill" WoW is age.

Time will tell.

I used it more as an expression of how good it's looking rather than what my hopes for it are.

This game looks messed up, more like a WOW HAMMER to me. I hope they dont do the forces of good and destruction in this one too.  :dry:

So we are having a local, small and friendly 40k tournament on saturday in our gaming club. We are a whole of 4 competitors!!! :O

Anyways, its 1750pts and im fielding my Blood angels.

I havent tried out hte list i have made (it has varied alot) so i need some comments, although i wont be able to change much of it.

HQ:
Librarian in termi armour and stormshield. Has Sanguine sword and unleash rage.
Elites:
5 Assault termies. Sergeant has lightning claws, 4 thunderhammers. They ride in a Landraider Redeemer together with the librarian.
Honour guard / Sanguinary guard. Chapterbanner, blood champion, 1 extra power weapon. I dont know if these guys should be exchanged with sanguinary guard with chapterbanner. It would give me more powerweapons but lose furious charge.
Troops:
2x 10 Assault marines with 2 meltas and a powerfist on sarge
5 Death company with 1 powersword in razorback
Fast:
Baal predator with heavy bolters
Heavy:
5 devastators with 4 missile launchers.

In my opinion Honor Guard trumps Sanguinary. FNP and FC. Don't forget to give 'em a Razorback though. I'd also consider running the Librarian with them wearing Power Armor, and assigning a SPriest to the Termies. Gives both squads FC!

What are those Devs doing in that list? Another Preddy would make much more sense.

Well I bought a termie Lib model so he stays:P
The honour guard has jump packs btw... Im thinking of using them as a support role for the assault marines, so they get the bonusses aswell.
The Devs are there because of models restrictions. I dont have a second baal model..

I don't really understand 40k rules yet but that list looks like you have hardly any guns. Which is awesome. Guns are for pansies.

I'm playing in a 1000 point cityfight campaign with IG and BFG combined into a super campaign. Since we play campaigns that are fluff driven I've managed to get a BFG fleet of 1 Imperial ship and the rest are Tau.

Here is my 1000 point list full of pansies.

HQ: Company Command Squad. Officer of the Fleet. Flamer 85. - The Officer of the Fleet is for a conversion. I'm writing fluff as well. I don't really like the whole Xenophobe thing so they come from the eastern fringes and have defected from the Imperium into the arms of the Tau. The officer is going to be a Tau guy. He is pretty much my only 'what!?' choice.

Troops: Platoon Command Squad. 30.

10 Guardsmen.. Flamer. 55

10 Guardsmen.  Flamer. 55

Heavy Weapons Squad. 3 AutoCannons 75

Veteran Squad. Grenadiers  Chimera 1 Flamer 1 Melta gun. 170 - Will be converted from Tau/Imperial bits. Might even include a couple of non human fantasy conversions. I saw an awesome 'lion' species converted out of beastmen heads.

Fast Attack: Armoured Sentinel. Autocannon. Hunter Killer Missile. Camouflage Netting. 80 - I like sentinels. The model is cool.

Heavy: Leman Russ Squadron.

3 Leman Russ Battle Tanks.  Battle Cannon. Heavy Bolters. 450 - They don't have sponsons because the model i'm using is a German WW2 Tank that is 2/3rds off. 3 Leman Russ's for £30!

1000

You think WW2 was still going in the 1970s?

Don't care it was in the WW2 section! It's a cheap tank.

They shouldn't be £9.99 then!

It's a money thing, 150 points is just too good. It takes up space without costing me £15 for 10 guys worth 55 points.

A Panda with a sense of money. I love your approach in using military scale models, Mogsam. More variety, less cost.  :icon_mrgreen:

Would you mind put up some pics of your tanks?
