Poll: Next 40k army to paint

[dalmer]

Hello there,

 

First off, my sincere apologies if this is NOT the correct forum topic to place this poll... I reckon that since it has to do with painting / possible conversion ideas / creative input from the player base, that Artificier's Force seemed like the appropriate place.

 

Quick background:  I used to play 40k in 3rd edition a lot.  Like do the tournament scene, Vancouver GT, etc.   My boys wanted to play when 6th edition landed, so I got back into the hobby.  Naturally, the boys bailed but I had forgotten how much I loved the 40k universe so I'm still here.  I don't play much (like maybe 6 games thus far) but that's due to work / family / etc.  

 

I'm almost done with my 2000 point counts-as-Dark-Angels army and would like the player base to chime in on what army I should paint next.  I have a ton of armies and welcome any input you can give.  I reckon that painting up a 2000 point army list at a time would be strategically viable, as then I'd have an army to play that's painted or folks can borrow an army that's painted.

 

Thanks and stay safe,

Somehow, "One of Brother Glacius's armies" isn't on that list....

Ooh.... Renegade Imperial Guard!

Space wolves!

Space Wolves!

Space Wolves or Necrons. We have so few of them in the area.

Also, what's the Counts-As for the SW?

Serious? There used to be a bunch. There'll be a bunch more in Feb.

Tyranids! Always go bugs. They may not win a lot, but they are sure fun!

 

EDIT:  Plus you can batch paint them super fast with an air brush.  Not so say mine are amazing, but it is fast, quick, and easy. Comes out table top decent.

Maybe at Guardian, but I haven't seen any at WOW and only one at Dice Age when last I was there.

A well painted bug army is one of my favorite things to see.

Traitor Guard:

Pros: lots of second hand models available. Almost any kit can be used for conversions. Get bored painting gritty Khornate followers? Paint some ostentatious Slanneshi guys.

Cons: Guard is an uphill battle gamewise. Can be a lot of models.

Hello there,

 

Thanks again for the continued comments and ideas, they're appreciated!

 

pretre, the "counts as Space Wolves" that my son bought are basically Space Wolves models and Space Marine models with some wolfy bits added.  But he went with a different paint job so they're not immediately recognizable as Space Wolves, if that makes sense. 

 

Stay safe,

You know you want to paint a 5 model Imperial Knight army next.
