InfestedKerrigan Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 They had one at the LGS. Ya, too displeasing to my eyes. Not the aesthetic I want, regardless of rules. I damn near picked up a Knight. Glad I didn't. Not when we have baby knights coming. And unpainted plastic sitting. Considering unloading a bunch of my marines. Not sure. [big bad swear word], I forgot to get a squad of Reavers. Dagnabbit. Good thing I'm heading to Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I didn't get the reavers. I did, however, pick up 4 boxes of Pigs on the Wing. List I'm liking at the moment: Supreme Command 4 Bikes Supreme Command 3 bikes Patrol Prim Lt Intercessor 2x Repulsors 5 CP to work with. Everything is Grav, suck my dust, Eldar. Tanks get +1 to wound, and all power armor is ObSec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 These bikes are monstrous! On the rest, if I can be patient, I'm going to prime and paint the Biker, the Bike, the lance, the shoulder pads, and the steering column/left arm separately. The head perhaps. Depends on color scheme for them. I was thinking largely black, with bronze features, and red highlights. However, looking at the primed model, I'd like to maybe do something different. Hmmm.

InfestedKerrigan Posted February 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I've made some substantial changes to what I'm doing and working on at the moment, organizing it to better not feel overwhelmed by sprue or conflicting alignments. I have boxed: all non-Primaris and non-Librarian Marines; Deathguard; Khorne Daemons and Lord of Skulls, except for Juggies; and I think that is it. Things I left out to work on: Primaris w/2 Repulsors / the Librarian Conclave w/2 Drop Pods Tempestus AdMech / Knights Adeptus Custodes Listing it out seems like a lot, especially if I try to keep to single faction detachments. This has me considering side lining the Primaris/Librarians, or the Tempestus at the moment, too. I think I just talked myself into putting the Stormtroopers in the box for now.

InfestedKerrigan Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Sort of picked up the learn2build Redemptor dread cuz 30 bucks for the redemptor in a basic dakka config? SURE! need to get it assembled and primed. The blue is obnoxious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Heading down to play a younger Blood Angels player who would like to face my Knights, but I need to play a game vs him and check his skill before I do that. We are playing 1500, no stratagems. At the moment I'm leaning towards 1 Bike Captain 3x3 Bikers AND 2 more Captains and Standard -OR- Knight Warden I don't think he has much experience versus elite armies. Most of the games I've seen him play have been versus Guard of both the Death and Imperial varietes. I worry that the Knight will cause probs for him when combined with my 2+4/5++ bikes. We'll see what happens. ^_^ I have played against him once before, kind of. It was a 2v1, with his Angels allied with Primaris Ultramarines, versus my Khorne and Deatguard. I played super sloppy in more of a show of force so he could see what my units did, as the Primaris player (also the ImpGuard guy) decided almost everything they did...so I feel we really didn't play.

InfestedKerrigan Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Rolled over his marines, was to be expected. Called it at top of 3rd. Went over things that could've been done different, and told him to revamp his list with me and the Nurgle player in mind and we'll play again next week.

Dread explodes taking 3 mortal wounds off the Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I like the jetbikes, but I kinda feel they are less cool the more you have, as least visually. Dunno, something about mass production reduces the appeal of a relic army... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Less is more, I feel ya. I also played a lot of Joust and Zelda II, not to mention Vampire Hunter D, so badass armored Knights on badass steel horses are rad. 10 are needed to run a Custodes Outrider detachment. Or I can run Supreme Command Detachment and take 3 to 5 Shield Capns on Dawneagles each time. Hell of a lot quicker way to add them and get CP out of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Also, 12 hardly constitutes mass production when you consider there is at minimal a battle companies worth of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hmmmm..... I like the FW Custodian Termies more than I like the GW ones. I think I'll order both of the FW and one of the GW and see how Kit Bashing goes. Perhaps conscript the 3 GW termies to Standard Bearer duties? We shall see. I'd like to get 1 of each Contemptor Dread, as well. Honestly, I'm hoping the FW Custodes book provides an alternative Troop option, as I'm just not overtly keen on them. Heavy Support is going to be over loaded in options, I suspect. I would like to see something other than the Phobos in the Heavy Slot, and that Chronos is almost 400 points. Elites are already popping with options, but we'll see a couple dreads pop up there. I wonder if the big dread will be HS or LoW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, not mass production, but when I think relics, I picture a squad of three, where the third is breaking down, but functional. You show up with 12 in perfect working order, and that says to me you have spare parts enough to make 100 - so you can replace the damaged parts after each battle. Just now, InfestedKerrigan said: Pax, when I have 2 Telemon, you can grumble about "too many Relics from the reliquary" No clue what Tele-mon is. Sounds like a pok-e-mon. Dunno, just seems lacking to see an entire army of DA Sammys in Gold. One was awesome, each you add cheapens the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More sort of a Nid vibe to it than anything I'd do with Custodes, but it's a cool shape in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their are over 1000 of them in existence, not 3. Keep in mind, 10k Custodes with many older than the Traitor Legions and their lords, and more perfect, too. Going by just Codex Options, they have Bikes, Termie Armor, Super Power Armor, Contemptorization, or Phobos LRs. I don't think their is more than half a chapters worth of Contemptors in their ranks. Perhaps 2 Chapters of Terminators? Is that unreasonable for the last Loyalist Legion? Is it unreasonable to think that they would have the best bikes with the best in house mechanics? 23 hours ago, paxmiles said: No clue what Tele-mon is. Sounds like a pok-e-mon. Custodes mega Dread. Their fluff says only a handful exist and their plates were forged by Emprah. 23 hours ago, paxmiles said: Dunno, just seems lacking to see an entire army of DA Sammys in Gold. One was awesome, each you add cheapens the others. Firstly, not painting mine Gold. Secondly, when I saw Sammiel, I wanted an army of them, and would've probably if Chinacast had been as prevalent then. Instead, I waited, and GW responded to the interest in Imperial Grav, and I have been able to support my LGSs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 All that said. I'm not so much building things by GW fluff. I picture the Pinkertons more as an anime at the moment, I guess. I have my own fluff, own ideas of how everything interacts, etc. If guard are guard, Primaris are Power Armored guys, and Custodes are Royal Guard. Hey, just like it is, except we fly one banner while waiting to follow the worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
