InfestedKerrigan Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 To play Space Marines according to the fluff, just take a Combat Squad and say it Counts As an Imperial Knights Exalted Court :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 So doing this [big bad swear word] as my next project. Forget Ad Mech. Forget anything else. Next Model monies is doing this. Maybe Open, not OFCC, but still doing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 You MIGHT be able to get away with one list like this on a team if the rest didn't have any SH. It is definitely a cool idea, but may be a tough match for some teams. It depends on the HOG, of course, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 My OFCC project this year is 7 Contemptor dreadnought sized, Thunder Warrior Marines. Counts-as Contemptors of course. Wanted something that showed off what a Thunder Warrior should look and act like, Contemptors with power fists and Kheres Assault cannons felt about perfect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I find it convenient that two Imperial Space Marines and an order of Secutarii upgrades is just over 250# I find it revolting that I'm actively considering paying 115# for a single Space Marine. Let alone 5 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"My Sgt Stomps your XXXXX." lmao Yes, not everyone will be able to deal with a squad of 30ft tall Space Marines. Observation there, FW says the Marines are 6", and I measured my Crusader at just over 6 and a half. I don't feel half an inch there constitutes modeling for advantage. I'm more concerned about the width, but the pictures seem to be comparable. Won't know for sure until it's on my desk. Weapon loads. I need to choose one as my basic Tactical Marine. Either Gallant with a Weapon, or a Warden. Going Gallant with the weapon reduces the armies ranged output significantly, but then I'm breaking height dramatically. Thoughts on this?

WestRider Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Warden is the basic Tac Marine. Gallant is your PowerFist Sergeant. And potentially either an Errant (Marine with Meltagun) or Paladin (Marine with Missile Launcher). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was picturing, well, MM instead. ^_^ But Meltagun fits better and will be easier to convert. That's just a lot of dakka at 2k points. 6 Knights, I think. Inquisitor is about half this size, isn't it? I was thinking, perhaps instead of 6 knights, 4 Knights and a handfull of Dreadknight Assassins? So 4" action figures would be True Scale humans to the 6" armored Space Marines, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I wasn't talking about MFA just the hardness of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I wasn't talking about MFA just the hardness of the list. Yes. That's what I meant by the 30' SMurfs. The observation on the 30' SMurfs was a separate thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
