Shadow War Armageddon- what Kill Team are you planning?

[The Voivod]

Yeah, the lascannon and heavy plasma where both a bit much. Credits being valuable as they where, they would've been better spend on other weapons.
My delaques heavies both have heavy stubbers, which I found was the most reliable and cost effective.

Off course in shadow war you're quite likely to run in some power armour or heavier, so some weapons that where absolute overkill in necromunda might have a place in this game.

[Pictors Studio]

I never bought anything heavier than a heavy stubber.  They ruled the roost in Necromunda.

Not so much in SW:A where you might run into a terminator and genestealers can only be pinned by stronger weapons. And pinning a Genestealer is pretty cool if you can't kill it.

Speaking of, here are some pictures of the newest additions to my SW:A Genestealer Cult line up.






and some special operatives for their opponents:

So I guess ten skitari would be okay for a kill team or is that over kill???

[AWu]

nah, they are perfectly Ok, Skitarii were one of expanded teams that were added to stand alone rulebook and are now a core force.


Ive got models for all teams except of Necrons and Tau.
Inquisition will be ready first but I am working on Chaos with truescalled Slaneshian marines made from older Dark vengeance chosen with beastmen cultists and Genestealer cult, and surprisingly I started to build Scouts from the box I thought I would never use

[majorsmith]

Took the plunge and bought some skitari today!

Good man Andy!

I've been cleaning and sticking together some scouts this evening.
First time in years I got the plastic glue out again. I've been working with restic and metal for years now.

I do feel like some more.... exotic models.
I would really like some of those genestealers cults.

Maybe I should actually play a game first,  though....

Scout sets are difficult to assemble. To have any interesting pose you need green stuff and pins, and the heads are medicore..

At the other side after that Gene cultists are pleasure to do.
Overkill ones snap perfectly and multipart are really well made (one of GW best sets).

Saying that, few games wont hurt before over committing
Just know that anything you will be building later will be better made and more pleasurable than scouts

Worse than assembling scouts is painting them. The lack of detail on the boots for instance makes it almost impossible to paint them separate from the knee and shin guards. Or here does the glove ends and the fingers start? It's time they do some new scouts...maybe Primaris ones? 

[majorsmith]

Good man Andy!

Thanks Derek!

[Dentatus]

Looking good.

Super-sized Scouts... That'd be cool.

Saw an up-scale Dread recently. Is everything going Primaris-ed eventually?

I thought you where opting out of the sci-fi for now?
Just when you thought you got out, they drag you back in. huh?

Assembly wasn't to bad. The models are okay. I don't think they lack a lot of details.
What is weird is that they have these pouches on their chest, which get in the way for their left arm and shoulder pad if you give them bolters.
This makes those arms look a bit weird, the shoulderpads have a bit missing to make room and there's still a gap between the parts that need filling up.
Not what you'd expect from the creators of 'the greatest miniatures in the world'.
The faces are not great. When there's a bit of tech on them, they're fine, though the hair needs some work.
I actually replaced some heads with Catachan heads I had laying about from another project (ironically, my take on necromunda Goliaths)
They fit rather well. The scale is okay and they just needed some adjustments at the socket-joint.
It gives the mini's a bit more of an old-skool look.

I'll be painting them up pretty soon and expect to enjoy it, but at the moment I might first start working on my infinity Aleph force.

[Storm Wolf]

I hope yours turn out as you want them, but I think the old metal scouts were much more characterful luckliy I have a stash of 12 of the little blighters

No bolters though 

Like to see your scouts,  what chapter you doing?

That thing is a beast.

I was wondering that. Primaris Terminators...

I am glad it is not just me ^__^
