fluger Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I really like the Mantic Forgefathers line of models and I keep thinking about buying them and playing them. The only real drawback is the limit in variety of models. Well, I thought I could use these: As thunderfires. These I could use as Centurions These as basic Marines And then from Ramshackle games, these as drop pods: Not incredibly diverse, but I like the style of it. Here's the list: Sentinels of Terra supplement. Chaplain: 90 Command Squad: 150 + 35 5 Meltaguns Drop Pod 10 Tactical Marines: 160 + 35 Meltagun, Multimelta Drop Pod 10 Tactical Marines: 160 + 35 Meltagun, Multimelta Drop Pod 10 Tactical Marines: 160 + 35 Meltagun, Multimelta Drop Pod 3 Centurion Devastators: 280 Gravamps, Missile Launchers 3 Centurion Devastators: 280 Gravamps, Missile Launchers 3 Centurion Devastators: 280 Gravamps, Missile Launchers Thunderfire Cannon: 100 Thunderfire Cannon: 100 Thunderfire Cannon: 100 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Keep in mind that a TON of new Forgefather models came out for Deadzone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 You have bikes, lightly armored dudes for scouts, a different artillery device (mining laser) and the hard plastic Forge Guard which would make good Terminators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 The iron ancestor has different weapon arms as well. and this thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainA Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I like the look of it. Would be pretty funky and very themed. I'd worry a bit about the cents being out in the open with them having no invul save. But they should give a good amount of board control.

fluger Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Wow, I had missed all those. That one ancestor with the gun and then the barrel would be a much better counts as grav cent. Are invul saves really that important? Most things that ignore cover aren't AP2, so as long as I'm in some kind of cover I should be ok, right? Plus, there are 3 units, so...

fluger Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Maybe I'll steal a page from your book, make a true centstar by combining two of those units and then get Sevrin Loth as my leader. FnP on the tacticals would be a nice trick too. Oh wait, I can't do that since I have to use Sentinels of Terra to get both thunderfires and the dev cents. Oh well.

VonVilkee Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'd be careful relying on force org swaps unless you will be fine going unbound eventually. GW seems to be dropping them as they redo books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Those are the risks with anything, but also, at the price point of Mantic, it isn't that bad. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 If I ever did a straight-up Space Marine Army, this would be it;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
