scotthartman Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I am jumping into 8th edition after not playing 40k for many years in the hopes that I may regain the love for this game. I've always been a fan of this universe and the stories involving the Inquisition. Long ago I played Grey Knights (before they were good). This time around I'm switching to Ordo Xenos and the Deathwatch. The plan so far is to have a puritan Xenos Inquisitor with some hangers-on acolytes or psykers; an assassin of some sort, and a primary force of Deathwatch marines. All of these are going to be built for fun as I don't play tournaments. The Rule of Cool is number one for this army. With that in mind, I won't be including any Primaris marines but all of my Deathwatch marines are going to be converted from Primaris models to be true scale in comparison to the humans in the army. First few test models are built including a couple of assassins. 1st Lt. Brother Justinius of the Ultramarines Brother Sturm of the Crimson Fists Brother Chardon of the Lamentors Calexus assassin Eversor assassin Some more building and painting to come. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Dude, I'm so hard right now, maybe its the 12 beers on this 106 degree day, maybe it's that god damn beautiful librarian (and I know a thing or two about sexy librarians buying two from FW direct), but it has me questioning what to do with my Primaris.

scotthartman Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I hope its the beers or the heat too, but thanks! Primaris are fun to convert though. Use the Primaris legs and back torso, most other marine parts fit them or look close enough that it doesn't matter. Whatever bits you have and some greenstuff make for a cool looking marine. Maybe just make a hero for funs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthartman Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Whoop, have to say that the new librarian looks pretty spot on to the one I made. I'll take it as great minds thinking alike. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I actually thought the same thing when I saw the pic of the new one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Honestly, I like your's more. But I'm a Dark Angels player, so I've got a soft-spot for hoods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthartman Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Got to play my first game of 8th edition thanks to @peter.cosgrove for your help and patience with that. Learned quite a bit about my army, namely that its super small and each body is just a marine. Think i need some more regular old bolters to take a few wounds. Other than thay though they played well and were a pretty effective combined force of marines and inquisitorial units. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
