Based and ready to go.
Although I think the Furioso will see the field more than the DCF.
The Librarian is a few years old, along with Corbulo and the far right Sanguinary Priest (SP).
The SPs will figure in a new army, including Corbulo.
The Libby ...... perhaps.
I will really have to have a complete mind-shift to leave theses out of any army. It has always been a necessity to include them (in the past).
The additions to the "old" DC chaplain are the Powerfist version, and the new Lemartes.
Lemartes in this incarnation seems to add a new level of effect and fluff .... great.
A quick mention is to the DC version of Erasmus Tycho.
Now that he is viable, after such a long time; now in 2 versions .... I just have to find slots for him in routine games.
For this I already have his 3rd Company available for deployment ( the entire 3rd Coy!!!!!) Heh heh heh,
Well it is time to meet the Boys.
Please welcome.........
The 6th Company, 9th Legion; The Blood Angels
(well, 6 squads of them, at the moment)
Company Insignia: Two Yellow Teardrops side by side
As usual, I have gone through the nightmare that is; adding squad and company markings via those wonderful bits of GW technology, the waterslide transfers.
It can't be just me; they do not work easily, do not fit properly and don't b&%*(! stay on!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, the squad markings are thus:
Right knee pad when able.
The skulls were the worst, when there just aren't enough of the really small ones from the old Death Company sheets, around anymore.
To support these, when on the battlefield; I have also taken to marking the back bases for squad ID.
Right to left:
Squads: 1,2,3,7,8 &9
Onward to the Squads.
Squad 1:
Tactical: (Skull on a black background)
Sgt with Power Weapon & plasma pistol (yep, unorthodox).
Multimelta and melta gun.
Squad 2:
Tactical: (Skull on a blue background)
Sgt with Bolt pistol & powerfist
Missile Launcher & melta gun.
This is a blending of my old style Veteran Sgts, who were the barded DA models to differentiate from routine Sgts; back when we had to pay extra for abilities.
Squad 3:
Tactical: (Red teardrop on a yellow background)
Sgt with plasma pistol and powerfist.
Missile Launcher & (you guessed it..) melta gun.
Squad 7:
Assault: (Black lightning on yellow background)
Sgt with Power weapon & Inferno pistol.
Melta gun & Inferno pistol
Squad 8:
Assault: (Yellow lightning on a black background)
Sgt with Thunder Hammer & bolt pistol (could anyone resist this dynamic figure from the DC kit?????!!!!!)
2 x flamers
I may give these boys melta bombs to back them up. But I did want them to be "up-close and personal like"
Squad 9:
Devastator: (Yellow wing on a black background)
Sgt with Power weapon and bolt pistol plus auspex.
3 x Multimeltas and 1x Plasma cannon.
I want these heavies to be aggressive, probably combat squadding to move 2 of the MMs up field immediately.
Well, there you are.
By the way, the company Insignia were single teardrops (so twice the transfer nightmare!).
I have the bits to make up the last squads ...... but .... not yet!
My sanity couldn't take it.
I will now just finish of bits and pieces at a time:
A Sanguinary Guard Squad (with Banner option)
The Sanguinator .....
Astorath The Miserable
A couple of DC (to add to my existing)
Dantes Honourguard (already based and base-coated)
A BA Sternguard Vet Squad (I have the Ferox Pattern Forgeworld Bolters)
Other big projects to do:
BA Bikes (lots for my 8th Company)
A couple of Scout Squads to put together.
The First Company/ serious Space Hulk!!!!! Yep... 100 Termies ..... "Mmmmwwwaahahahahah!"
But for now.
Put together a BA Army for ASMoH (quickly)
It will NOT be a 15 figure Sang Guard/ Heroes of Doom army; just one I want to play.....
(I will treat myself to putting together the Stormraven though)
If you are still following ..... thanks.
Not exciting or regular/prolific posting, but it does help me. Especially as I try to keep up with the AGoGs.
