:-) So, back to some of my ancient IG...See how long before I get absolutely sick of painting the same figure over and over... But the Light Rifle Company concept I think will be a fairly powerful one in this edition, provided I support it well. And the IG codex is insanely customizable and VERY powerful if you feel like going in a specific direction. Me, I was always a fan of heavy weapons and Artillery. Never did server in the Artillery, but I did a fair amount of the "Call For Fire" as an NCO in a line combat company... So, unsurprisingly I have a fair idea HOW to use Artillery, Tank support and combined arms tactics...
Got in on the Kickstarter for the Stormtroopers (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreamforge-games/something-wicked-this-way-comes-crusader-plastic-m) here, so I have some what I hope are good "stand in" models for my Veterans and Storm-troopers... So at the very least I will have something completely different to paint, when they arrive at least :-)...
Looking at repainting the vehicles I have from the "sand" scheme I have for most of them to something different... Might have to go for something "brown-violet" and make them look like WWII American vehicles... We'll see I guess...
If you need/want more praetorians, let me know. Mine might go on the sales block sometime soon, along with some Blood Angels I bought from a local garage sale.
ReplyDeleteIt is a possibility :-) I picked up roughly enough to make a Light Rifle Company when they first went through GW's "bargain bin"... But more might not be a bad thing, if only for more conversions, etc...
ReplyDeleteIf you decide to sell of the Praetorians and possibly the BA, LMK... Looking at them as I begin the stripping and repainting... Guessing I MIGHT have enough for the current Light Rifles I'd like to field, but not 100%...
ReplyDeleteI'll try to get some pics of the BA's. They're vintage 3rd ed. an Armageddon codex and 3rd ed rulebook came with 'em.
ReplyDeleteI know there's a 3rd ed rhino, Land Raider, a Pair of Speeders, and a Pair of DCCW Dreads, plus around 30 BA's and some misc models/bits.
