Epic 40K - MORE Orks

 MORKS!?

Another batch of Orks for the Tallarn on Xoxigar to deal with.... MWA-HA-HA-Ha-Ha-ha-haaaaaaaa....

The latest batch - another 8 elements of Ork Boyz and a Warboss.

The entire Waaaaagh! (so far...) 

As I laid these out, I wondered what I'd been thinking - there weren't enough trucks for all the Orks!? Had I miss counted something?! I think what happened was I just painted up ALL the Boyz I had based and ready and, because I'd painted way too many trucks before, it didn't occur to me that I didn't have enough... Not a problem, I have PILES of trucks I can paint up! More than I'll likely EVER need - even IF I painted up ALL the Boyz I have... and I think I have several hundred... I think I figured I'd have enough for all the Boyz and enough left over that every character model I have could have their own truck to ride around in... 

Lots to play around with here. Easily two Battalion detachments and probably a Vanguard Detachment... 

On the workbench I still have a Stompa and a few ministompas (gorkanots or morkanots?) Now that I have spare Ork Boyz done... I feel the urge to base up another four and enough trucks for all and do a THIRD Battalion Detachment!? 

We shall see... I should really get going on the Warhammer Underworlds stuff!!!

Epic 40K - MOAR CHAOS!

 

Just a few more Chaos items rolling off the workbench... 

First, is the Blood Reaper, the third Deamon Engine of Khorne. 

I'm still not sure what I'm going to use these as...? 

The Brass Scorpion  (up front) is still a thing, made by Forge World, so I have Apocalypse stats for it... it's a 32 Power Rating Lord of War!? Maybe I need to find some other Lords of War to say they others are "Counts As..." and field the three as a Super Heavy Detachment...? 

I wonder if the Blood Reaper (new one, on the left) could maybe be passed off as a Lord of Skulls...? The former is a tower on wheels with, effectively three weapon systems (two missile, one melee) - the twinned cannons the top of the tower, the battery of guns in the middle of the tower and the impaling ram on the front. The latter is also a towering Daemon Engine on tracks with three weapon systems (two missile, one melee) - the Great Cleaver of Khorne and an arm-mounted ranged weapon and a belly-mounted ranged weapon... (probably go with the Hades Gattling Cannon and the Ichor Cannon - based on attack numbers...) ?

I have no idea about the Doom Blaster of Khorne - four super-heavy mortars and a ram... Maybe a Hellforged Typhon Heavy Siege Tank?  It is equipped with a Dreadhammer Siege Cannon and "Infernal Hunger" (melee weapon)...? 

Next were two test stands - one of Chaos Space Marines the other of... well... it looks like Chaos Space Marines... riding Daemon Steeds of Slaanesh!? 

Pretty pleased with how the Chaos Space Marines turned out. I think I have a total of ten stands worth (so, nine more to do)? Most of which should fit into the five Chaos Land Raiders I've already painted up. 

My initial thought was to use the Marines on the Daemon Steeds of Slaanesh as seekers of Slaanesh - which are Daemonettes mounted on Daemon Steeds of Slaanesh - hence five per base. But now I'm thinking I could field them as "Counts As" Chaos Bikers!? I'd need only three per base - and then end up with WAY MORE UNITS. 

Stats-wise, they aren't all THAT different. They go about the same speed. Have the same Weapon Skill and Ballistic Skill. The melee attacks are similar in strength. The seekers have way more melee attacks, but no ranged attack. Five seekers have two wounds, 3 bikers have one, but the bikers have a way better save... 

Maybe I could do them on a double-wide base with 9 or 10 to a base and could field them as EITHER a unit of 10 Seekers or a unit of 9 Bikers, depending on my mood...? Who's going to count!?

Epic 40K - MOAR Stuff

I've had a PILE of old "Epic" scale 40K miniatures on and around my workbench for the last month, and, occasionally, I've painted a few things, here and there... 

The main impetus was originally to have markers to show were units were in a Wrath & Glory Role-Playing campaign I was planning to run this fall - where all the players are members of an Astra Militarum Leman Russ tank crew... Unfortunately, we haven't really gotten past character creation, as I ended up being sick the one weekend we did have planned at the end of September... and then there were no days that would work in October... Maybe this month. Next weekend is looking like a possibility...?

Anyway, once I started working on Astra Miliatarun stuff and some opposing Orks... and I found out how quickly I could knock some of these things off... I just started digging out more and more of the stuff - with megalomaniac dreams of MASSIVE APOCALYPSE LEVEL conflicts!?

This is what I've finished up since I last posted about these in September... 

The new stuff... 

Or stuff that was on the workbench and was finished up. Technically, some of it isn't NEWly painted, I was just rebasing things to jive more with the numbers that are allowed in units in the most recent Apocalypse rules... 


Astra Militarum

Leviathan Command Vehicle

This is the only Astra Militarun stuff I finished up. I'm not entirely sure if I'll pretend the Leviathan is something that exists (perhaps a Stormlord...? With extra sponsons...? And pretend that giant gun just fires case shot and effectively works like a vulcan mega-bolter...?) or just make up some rules for it...?

I do have a second company of Leman Russ tanks on the workbench - along with a few support vehicles (self-propelled artillery, mostly) 

Here are all the Astra Militarum items I have painted so far. 

In addition to the aforementioned partly finished second company of Leman Russ tanks and assorted support vehicles.... I also have about two more platoons of Infantry (to finish up a company) and a Mortar Squad and a couple of Special Weapons Squads (Snipers) 

CHAOS

More new things - a few Khorne Chaos things... A Skullmaster, Herald of Khorne on Juggernaut to lead the small contingent and a pair of Khorne Daemon Engines. The one in the back ins a Brass Scorpion. Not sure what to call the one on the left...? 

I have one more Daemon Engine to finish up and a few more of the Khorne Marines mounted on Juggernauts (Which I'll just call Khorne Bloodcrushers) 

Also for a burgeoning Chaos force - a Chaos Sorcerer and a few Chaos Landraiders. 

I have about 10 Elements of Chaos space Marines (which, technically, would probably fit in these five landraiders!? but there'd be no room for the Sorcerer or anyone else). They will all be Emperor's Children - like my regular scale Chaos forces... I could probably use some of the spare marines I have and paint them as Heresy era Emperor's Children. 

I also have an assortment of other Epic chaos stuff... The old Epic Chaos forces had some really weird stuff, tho...  Marines (that look like Thousand Sons) mounted on Steeds of Slaanesh (which I'll just call "seekers") ?! Marines riding on Screamers of Tzeentch?! the Khorne Bloodletters look like HUGE ogres... Piles of Chaos Dwarves (Maybe I'll just use those as more Chaos Space Marines?). Beastmen (which I could use as "cultists", if there aren't apocalypse stats for the Beastmen that came with Blackstone Fortress) 


Adeptus Astartes

These rolled off the workbench, but they are definitely just rebased. I originally had four bases of three... which I changed to two bases of five terminators, plus two captains in Terminator armour. 

The Marines so far... 

Still have another five Rhinos and another 10-15 elements of Marines based and ready to go. Probably another 15 elements worth of marines that could be based and painted (those might become Emperor's Children, though...) I also have a handful of bikes and speeders and drop pods and commanders to do, but that's about it for Marines. 


Orks

New Orks - mostly. I'm pretty sure the Killa Kans were painted before and I rebased them from two elements of two, to one element of three and one element of one... to match the unit sizes allowed in Apocalypse. Also, two Warbosses (the one on the larger base would be used as the forces Warmaster), and a Big Mek with Shock Attack Gun, and Nob with Waaagh Banner. 

The Orks so far

I have 8 units of orks on the workbench - to fill up those trucks! 

In additnion to these, I have another 19 original ork sprues (each with 3 Trucks and 20 Orks) which could make 38 MORE units of Orks... and... well... way more Trucks that I could ever hope to use (adding in the few loose ones I have, there are over SISTY!)!? I also have two of the newer sprues, which have more of the Bosses and Nobs, a few gretchin and bikes and buggies and guns... 

I also have a MEGA GARGANT and a Stompa and some more Morkanot/Gorkanot type walkers... 


And then there are all the Eldar... 

And Squats.... 

And Titans.... 

All of which I haven't really even been thinking about, lately... but probably should!


Will there be MORE of this in the near future...? I don't know. I will probably finish up the Leman Russ tanks and 8 elements of Orks, but for the rest of the year I'm really trying to finish up some Warhammer Underworlds warbands - as that's a game I'm likely to actually PLAY!!!

IF we actually get the Role-Playing Game going... AND the epic minis DO come in useful, I might get motivated to paint some more... 

IF somehow I got playing Epic Apocalypse and was having fun with that, I might also get motivated to paint more...

We shall see....

Epic 40K - Orks Preview

 At the same time I was painting up the Imperial Guard Armoured Task Group, I also got a bunch of Orks done as well. I haven't really organized them into Detachments yet. Or, rather, my initial plans have changed and I'm in the middle of painting MOAR ORKS, so this is really just a preview of what I've done so far and when I finish up a few more things, I'll post pictures of the entire force (so far... because I have piles and PILES of Orks that I'm just not going to get to soon!) 

The Orks, so far... 

  • 4x Morkanaut (or maybe Gorkanaut?)
  • 10x Trucks
  • 80x Ork boys (on four stands - one of those I painted previously) 
  • 4x Warbikers
  • 1x Killa Can
  • 4x Warbuggy (not sure what to classify that as now...? Maybe the Kustom Boosta-blasta?) 
I have some more Ork Boyz and Trucks and a couple of Nobs and a few more Morkanaut (or maybe Gorkanauts?) and a stompa that I'll need to figure out how to put all together in to Detachments. Seems like two Battalion Detachments, a Spearhead Detachment, and an Auxilliary Super Heavy Detachment...? We shall see... 

The Workbench - as you can see, Epic stuff had kind of taken over... I have a second Imperial Guard tank squadron on there (I figured the first one went quick enough, I might as well knock off this second one while I'm at it...). There are a few other things I have that will join these... when there is some space on the workbench!? MOAR ORK walkers and stuff - I might even assemble the Gargant! (Don't tell my player characters!! Most of this is for the Wrath & Glory role-playing games I am running this fall/winter)

Epic 40K - Imperial Guard Armoured Task Group

 I've had these sitting around forever. I finally got some paint on them, not because I'm suddenly feeling like I want to play Epic 40K, but because I'm finally running a game of Wrath & Glory again - the Warhammer 40,000 role-playing game!? The characters are a Leman Russ tank crew and I thought it might be handy to have some tanks - friendly and enemy - and some groups of infantry, to mark out where everyone is in an encounter. 

Also, I have been wanting to try out the new (well, most recent) Warhammer 40K Apocalypse rules with Epic 40K miniatures. I guess I do already have a Force of Space Marines and Eldar, that I could have used to try out the rules.

The idea here was to put together a squadron-sized, mechanized task group with elements drawn from 3-4 different regiments - all drawn from elements of the larger Astra Militarum Task Force deployed to Xoxigar Secondus. The core of this Task Group is an Armoured Squadron from the 451st Tallarn Tank Regiment with an attached infantry component from 382nd Tallarn (Desert Raider) Regiment, and possibly some heavy support from the 17th Tallarn Super Heavy Tank Regiment (and, at some point, artillery from a Tallarn Artillery Regiment brought there as part of the Astra Militarum Task Force). 

The story behind the Task Force is that it was to be a fully-mechanized task force... but I don't have any epic Chimera models, so I'm saying one of the voidships lost in the warp was the one carrying most of the Regiment's armoured transports. The infantry regiment has been able to procure a few Gorgon Heavy Transporters locally, as that it one of the items the forge world manufactures... but they are NOT IDEAL for carrying small groups of infantry around for long distances in the desert!

All the NEW STUFF

Newly painted stuff. 

Except it's NOT all the new stuff, there's a previously painted Shadowsword that snuck into the back there!? 

Tallarn Armoured Squadron:

  • Tank Commander (Vanquisher) (1) PR13
  • 10x Leeman Russ Battle Tank Troop  

Here's a funny thing I just noticed; in the new(er) Apocalypse rules, you can't field and entire company as a single Spearhead Detachment (like you actually CAN in regular 40K - because your can field PLATOONS of up to three Leman Russ battle tanks and they count as a SINGLE element in the Detachment organization, no such luck in Apocalypse). So, technically you can only have up to six heavy support in a Spearhead Detachment, thus this would be fielded as TWO Spearhead Detachments (one with the Tank Commander and four tanks a second with five tanks - or maybe just a second with a tank commander and four tanks - the second tank commander could be the Squadron 2IC...?) 

Heavy Transport Section

Gorgons Heavy Transports are considered Lords of War, so each of these would have to be fielded as an Auxiliary Super Heavy Detachment - or could be fielded as a regular Super Heavy Detachment along with the Shadowsword(s). 

Speaking of Shadowswords, I have a new sort-of-Shadowsword...? I'm calling it a Xoxigar Pattern Shadowsword - a variant that is made locally in the Forge World where all the near future campaigning will likely take place! Teh Model is from Vanguard miniatures. 

Original Games Workshop Shadowsword on the left of the pic, "Sort-of-Shadowsword"...? (Xoxigar Pattern Shadowsword) from Model is from Vanguard miniatures on the right. 

Infantry Company - Also from Vanguard Minaitures. 

Company Commander (+Commissar? +Command Squad) 

3x Infantry Squad 

One things 

Allof the Astra Militarum Forces I have painted thus far. The only stuff I'd painted previously were three Leman Russ tanks, three Ragnarok tanks, and a Deathstrike Missile Launcher. 

I may just finish up the second Squadron of Leman Russes and the few other vehicles I have - just for some more options.

I've also painted up a whole PILE of Epic Orks... but I'm adding more to the force, so I'll wait until I finish up a few more things before posting pictures of those.

NOISE MARINES (and a Plague Marine and some Epic Bone Krushas)

I finally finished up a full squad of Noise Marines!



I'm a little torn about how to organize these. Squads of five or ten...? Initially, I was feeling like five, because then I thought I could try and paint them like iconic rock/metal/punk five-piece bands... but then when I went looking for colourful icon costumes for rock/metal/punk five-piece bands, I wasn't coming up with much. Other than KISS's iconic face paint (and maybe the Misfits)... it's mostly a lot of studded black leather... which is LAME. I was thinking bright, gaudy mismatched colours. Almost like Dazzle camouflage but even MORE colour!

I did find one band pic to base this first squad on...



Can anyone guess the band...?  



Maybe now....?



Look close.



Or this one...?



maybe if I turn it around the right way...?

Here's another *HINT*

Let me know in the comments if you figured it out and what gave it away...

So... units of five?  Like bands (whether they are inspired by actual bands or not)? or ten? If they were in fives like rock/metal bands (I don't know too many punk bands with five...? most seem to be three or four...) I could give them names! These could be the Twysturd Cysturs (Oooh! Another Hint... although that sounds a little like a Death Guard band....?)

Speaking of Death Guard...



Another Plague Marine - this time metal and armed with a Melta Gun!



Brother Bloatus!

He happened to be available from one of the eBay sellers I was picking up Noise Marine bits from... and there is another batch of metal ones on the way from another seller - again, the main purpose was picking up Noise Marines... but then there were good deal on older Plague Marines. These just aren't in demand - with all the fancy-schmancy plastic ones available now! I did pick up ONE plastic one - a Malignant Plaguecaster - So I could have an HQ element to lead the Death Guard Detachment...

And now for something completely different...

(but still 40k-ish...)



and a pair of Epic Ork Bone Krushas

FINALLY I have some TANK-like-things for my epic ork force. everything else I have is infantry, truks (like the original, boring plastic ones) and Stompas/Gargants. Not that I have any of the Truks or Stompas or Gargants painted yet, but I also stumbled across these on eBay from a seller I was picking up Noise Marine (and other) bits from, so I snatched them as well... and... since they were here, I painted them...



I thought I'd try painting one with gore trailing behind from those it's crushed... but I didn't totally love it, so I didn't bother with the second..


Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:

We were originally going to play Power Grid last night (Friday), but both of the other players I'd originally lined up to come and play with us bailed... both sick. Then Keira admitted she was hoping they'd show up so she wouldn't HAVE to play - which would have been nice to know earlier, otherwise I could have arranged for MORE players... as it was, it was just going to be me and Amanda for Power Grid... So I thought I'd offer to set up a game of Hellboy. Keira IS apparently interested in playing THAT still - as long as she's playing Liz Sherman! So we set that up.... It was a good thing too, because I really had NO IDEA about many of the rules - luckily Finnegan joined us and HE remembered EVERYTHING, and it was really more like HIM running ME through a game! I did take some pictures, but not really enough to warrant a post on it's own about it. We are planning to play again tomorrow (Sunday) evening, so perhaps I'll do a double game report...

After that, Tuesday is the big Wargaming Birthday Bash Necromunda Game. It is the same game I'm running a week and a half later at ToonCon. I was thinking of this Tuesday's game as another Play-test... but I think I've MOSTLY hammered it out and... really... Tuesday's game has become a beast in its own right. I have six people actually threatening to show up! (only ONE seems to be registered for the game at ToonCon, so far!) It should be a good time... if any hiccups appear, I have a week and a half to sort them out before ToonCon...

Tallarn Taurox (and Micro-Mini Shadowsword!)

I... I'm not sure I could explain the convoluted thought process that brought this onto the table to be finished. It could probably be summed up in two words: Squirrel Brain. (If a few more words were allowed: Highly Caffeinated Squirrel on Crystal Meth Brain...)

Regardless, I present to you: The Tallarn Taurox



I've used the wheeled suspension kit from Victoria Miniatures because... well... the track set just looks dumb...

The numbers on the front (500) are for the 5th company commander (5 = company, 0 = Headquarters Troop, 0 = Commander)

(Although, I saw one with track painted up to use as an Enforcer Vehicle for Necromunda and I started to think it didn't look THAT bad...)

I had originally meant to do the turret crew all swaddled up in a keffiyeh/shemagh looking out through binoculars... but then had a spare female head and thought I could just have the scarf around her shoulder so, hopefully, people could tell it was a women... Now I kind of wish I'd gone with the original plan - that head looks a little small for the body... I guess she could have some body armour bulking her up...? I may go back and change that... or I may not, because I'm lazy like that (feh, it's DONE! Move on to something that ISN'T yet painted!!!)



Back end - more stowage and the spread tire. If I did it right, the letters on the back should say "Khan" - because it's the commanders vehicle. The tire is also from Victoria Miniatures and most of the stowage is from a 1/35 Tamiya kit!



My plan for this was to ferry around a Company Commander for a Tallarn Outrider detachment... which currently only contains two squads of five roughriders and a single Scout Sentinel. Maybe I could throw the Sniper Special Weapon Section in there - seems like snipers are attached to reconnaissance units... I do, currently have enough that I could expand that out to THREE squads of TEN Roughriders, and Three sentinels - when I get around to assembling and painting the rest!

I've wanted to do an entire Sentinel Squadron ever since reading Lucien Soulban's Desert Raiders. There was a fun character that commanded the Reconnaissance/Sentinel Squadron. Unfortunately, while Marines can do just about anything with their wide variety of officer/HQ types - on foot, in terminator armour, with jet packs, on bikes, etc, etc... you can't put an Company Commander in a Sentinel (even though, according to the fluff, that is exactly what they do!). I'm not sure which is more silly - a Company Commander on foot leading a reconnaissance unit... or a TANK Commander leading a reconnaissance unit!? (even though Leman Russ tanks are FASTER than Sentinels!? In fact EVERY vehicle in the Imperial Guard arsenal are faster than their "Fast Attack" Reconaissance vehicles!? Someone explain THAT one to me!?)

Anyway, I liked the look of the Taurox - at least, with the wheels - I figure this could be kitted out as a Command version (although, now that I think about it, it SHOULD have had some extra radio antennae... darnit - maybe I could still add something - I'm thinking like the antenna that were on German command halftracks in the desert).

Also...



"Epic" scaled Shadowsword.



BIG and little



I don't have a LOT of stuff for the Imperial Guard painted just yet... I do have a few more tanks to paint up, and these few I may or may not repaint (I painted them in an older, temperate scheme - before I'd decided to do the Epic stuff as Tallarn), and a small number of infantry from Vanguard miniatures. People just want too damned much for the old plastic Imperial Guard miniatures (and Vanguard makes Desert Warriors... so I have Tallarn in TWO scales!). I do also have a PILE of space Marines and a few Imperial Titans...

I need to just shelve these, though, and not even think about them until next year... I DO want to try playing Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse with them at some point, though! But I need to focus my painting and get the rest of the Necromunda and Hellboy stuff painted.

Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:

Man, I am out of control... Usually I write ONE blog post at a time - compose new blog, add in the photos, add in some text, post... but I've stalled on writing bunch lately and so I have eight (EIGHT!) drafts currently, and I don't even know when I'm going to get around to finish those and I just keep on painting and rebasing?! I have a draft of a post about October and November's games (That will get posted at the end of the month), a Necromunda game report from Sunday, Posts about four different gangs that have all been rebased and snazzed up, and one about 54mm miniatures... I even DELETED a few posts recently because... well... they just sat for so long, they no longer seemed relevant enough to bother finishing!?

Next...? Hopefully one of those mentioned above... but I've also got a PILE of half to almost-done minis on my painting desk, including, but not limited to an Ambul Hulk and two Borewyrm Infestations, three Tallarn Mortar teams, an entire Van Saar gang, MORE Escher gangers, Scavvies, Enforcers, Imperial Fist Scouts, and a wild array of assorted other things - mostly relating to the Warhammer 40K universe...

Oh, and I just traded a pile of Imperial Guard I'm never going to use for a half dozen or so Battlefleet Gothic Chaos Cruisers!? Most of them are broken, but I should be able to get four serviceable ones out of the lot by taking bits from the more busted up one and adding or replacing bits on the less busted up ones... and there are three destroyer/escort type ships... so... they're a temptation...

Epic Space Marines for Apocalypse


Here are the Marines I have (painted, so far...) organized for use in the current version of Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse!  




The entire force (so far!)

As with the Eldar, these were previously organized for Future War Commander - where an element is an element and the number of figures on each stand wasn't really important, so I wasn't really fussed about having the correct number of itty-bitty warriors on each stand. Consequently, a number of these elements have less than the basic number of models that should be on a stand - in these cases I assume that it represents the basic/minimum number that would be in a squad - for example,  you can field Terminators in squads of five or ten, my stands have only three on each of them (because I only had a handful of them and I wanted more than just two squads (plus a few spares left over) and needed something I could use as a CO/HQ element - so I did four stands of three plus a smaller stand of just one - which would represent the HQ element.

Marine Vanguard Detachment



This was meant to be my overall command detachment (well... at least until I get a Supreme Command Detachment sorted out... ), but I've come to the realization that it is NOT a legit detachment. I have four Land Raiders in it as Transport for each of the Terminator squads... but those are actually classified as Heavy Support - not Dedicated Transports - and, as such, only two are allowed in a Vanguard Detachment.... The alternative - fielding it as a Spearhead Detachment also doesn't work as only two Elites are allowed in such a detachment...

I've also realized that, if we're assuming that each of these elements is a "Counts As" full-sized squad of FIVE Terminators... there is no room in the Land Raiders for the Captain... I'd need a fifth, just to ferry him around!

Feh! they're all MY toys, I can make up whatever rules I want, right?

HQ
Captain in Terminator Armour 7 PL

Elites
4x Terminator Squad (5) @11 = 44 PL

Heavy Support
4x Land Raider @13 = 52 PL

Total: 103 Power Level



Marine Battalion Detachment #1



HQ
Captain 5 PL

Troops
5x Space Marine Tactical Squad (5) @4 = 20 PL

Transports
5x Rhino @ 5 = 25 PL

Total: 50 Power Level


Marine Battalion Detachment #2



HQ
Captain 5 PL

Troops
5x Space Marine Tactical Squad (5) @4 = 20 PL

Transports
5x Rhino @ 5 = 25 PL

Total: 50 Power Level



Marine Outrider Detachment #1



HQ
Captain with Jump Pack 7

Fast Attack 
4x Assault Squad with Jump Packs (5) @5 = 25

Total: 32 Power Level


Marine Outrider Detachment #2



HQ
Captain with Jump Pack 7

Fast Attack 
4x Assault Squad with Jump Packs (5) @5 = 25

Total: 32 Power Level


Marine Outrider Detachment #3



HQ
Captain with Jump Pack 7

Fast Attack 
4x Assault Squad with Jump Packs (5) @5 = 25

Total: 32 Power Level


Marine Spearhead Detachment #1



Heavy Support
4x Vindicator @9 with Siege Shield @10 = 38????
2x Whirlwind  @ 6 =12

Total = 50 Power Level



Marine Spearhead Detachment #2



Heavy Support
4x Vindicator @9 with Siege Shield @10 = 38????
2x Whirlwind  @ 6 =12

Total = 50 Power Level


So that's about 399 Power Level. Just like I have for the Epic Asuryani Warhost.



I do have this Warhound Titan painted up (and Epic version of Pardus Purpura, that could be added to this force as an Auxiliary Super Heavy Detachment - that's another 60 Power Level...

I have at least three or four more Battalion detachments worth of Tactical Marines to paint up. One of which I have enough Rhinos to mechanize - although I may not and instead use those rhinos to ferry around HQ elements for some of the other detachments... I also have five older pattern Land Raiders that I originally planned to use as transports for one of the Marine Battalions... but as I've recently realized - they're Heavy Support, not DEDICATED TRANSPORT - and as such, I shouldn't really HAVE that many in a Battalion or Vanguard Detachment.

I also have enough bikes to put together another Outrider detachment with those.

I also have a few Land Speeders... not sure if I have enough for a detachment of their own...?

I do have a PILE of drop pods. I could probably drop two of those Marine detachments directly into battle in drop pods! I could probably also do what same with all the Termites I have!

I also have large forces of Orks, and Squats and Imperial Guard and even some Chaos... as well as a few titans about 8-9 Warlord titans 3-4 each for Imperial/Chaos. I also have a Reaver and two or three war hound titans - all Imperial. And then there are three Eldar Phantom Titans!? It could get CrAzY!? for now I guess I should just get in a game with these two forces to start with and see if it even works out...


Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:

Hopefully MORE Necromunda games... but before that there will probably be some more painted Genestealer Cultists
