I am using this exercise to try and clarify the things I really care about 'finishing' (whatever that is/means), and letting go of the rest. This is the first of my armies to have the treatment...
IN ALL ITS GLORY |
Command Squad (obviously with extra choices depending on what you take on the day), with attached Salamander/Chimera |
Other options - the Techpriest has three really old skool servitors too. I like the Priest and the Wizz... err... Primaris Psyker is also ace. |
The Commissariat |
Originally my Honorifica Imperialis Vet Squad sergeant, he is now my 'counts-as' Straken. Just need to paint his buddies... |
Ogryn squad as seen in WD with their pimped ride (to be painted...) |
PBS... or as they are now known as Wyrdvane Psykers. The guy in the front is now unemployed. |
Militarum Tempestus Platoon Command Squad (and attached Commissar). Flamers are being converted to Hot-shot Volley Guns |
Previously an Inquistion squad, now need their fatigues repainted |
20-odd to assemble/paint |
Alpha Platoon Command Squad with Chimera |
Alpha Platoon Squads 1 and 2 with Chimera(s) |
Alpha Platoon Squads 3 and 4 |
Alpha Platoon Special Weapon Squad - currently under construction for many years, these guys have history but are needing some mates |
Beta Platoon in all its glory (again, some new 60mm bases required...) |
Veteran Squad 1 - masters of the alpha strike (in the good ol' days...) |
Veteran Squad 2 - probably need to swap the meltas for plasma? |
Veteran Squad 3 (Grenadiers) under painting construction |
Ah... my old Penal Legion <sob>... they are probably going to be Veteran Squad 4 (designated sacrificial lamb squad 124857) |
30 old metal Cadians that I had grand visions of turning into a Conscript Squad. Realistically though they are probably needing to find a home where they will be used. |
Flame tank of flaming flameness |
If I have the points I take this. So... rarely. I think I have a multilaser somewhere |
Currently configured as a Vendetta + Vendetta/Valkyrie. No plans for a 3rd |
Commander Pask and his bodyguard |
Squadron A |
The Big Boys... Demolisher needs his replacement multimelta sponsons! |
Artillery Central |
Probably going to use the Griffon as a Wyvern |
The Pride of Breslau... and yes I can configure it as a Baneblade |
Random models I have leftover (heavy flamer can be swapped into a Vet squad, the heavy bolter can be my counts-as Sergeant Harker) |
So where to from here for the Astra Militarum?
Obviously there's a fair few models that still need to be painted.
- Enginseer + 3 Servitors (I may have another one or two Enginseers lurking somewhere too)
- 25-27 Militarum Tempestus
- 3 Tarantulas
- 6 Special Weapons troops (snipers)
- 9 Grenadiers
- 6 Leman Russes of various configurations in various stages
- Griffon a la Wyvern just because
- Baneblade/Hellhammer for those big fun games
- .. + 5 Rough Riders (maybe)
- ... + 30 Conscripts (maybe)
- ..... + lots of rebasing
There wouldn't be much left to buy if money was no hindrance... all I'd want is a squad of 6 Bullgryns... but I'd prefer some enthusiasm to get this lot done to be honest!
Anyone have a pile of 60mm bases they don't need?? :)
Nice collection! Maybe we need that super heavy for next campaign weekend?
ReplyDeleteGreat to see it all out in order.
You planning on getting rid of this army?
ReplyDeleteNo :)
DeleteBits of unpainted/unneeded stuff will go though
