Morning chaps, I've finally decided to paint the hordes of Guardsmen I bought on my chums insistence. I'm most of the way through them now and am actually at the point of buying more to get 1,000 points. I have converted alot of guardsmen to be aliens rather than human. Probably a result of way too much mass effect and too little of reading gw fluff! I haven't read the book (aside from the guard one) and haven't played in about 15 years.
For background I want to have a peace keeping force. So no massive tanks in low points and lots of transports to make sure that they can be on the move quickly.
Here's the list i'm looking at for the moment. I'm 23 points short (almost enough points for short people)
Each of the Chimera has had it's multi lazer replaced. Would people kick off (even in tournaments) about using Rhinos instead of Chimeras? We are ignoring the GW fluff about the imperium and writing our own without the intolerance to make more interesting mixes of armies with aliens. And also to explain why there are goat lions in my army. I don't like the Chimera models and the gun Rhino thing with two bolters has the same armaments! If I don't take any other types of tanks would it be an issue? It's WYSIWYG as anything tank shaped will be a chimera! I'd happily not shoot the 6 lasguns if people cared.
Command Power Fist, Standard Chimera w/ 2 Heavy Bolters 135
-I now know the standard doesn't work in a tank and the commander probably is awful with the fist. But on the other hand they look awesome.
Storm Trooper Squad 2 x Meltas 105 - falling from the sky and heroicly using their meltas on things before getting shot to death.
Veteran Squad Plasma Gun x 3 Grenadiers Bolt Pistol Chimera w/ 2 Heavy Bolters 202 - Slight moronicness from myself here, the bolt pistol might get ripped off. 2 points doesn't seem to work in 40k.
Veteran Squad Plasma Gun x 3 Grenadiers Chimera 2 w/ Heavy Bolters 200
Veteran Squad Plasma Gun x 3 Grenadiers Chimera 2 w/ HEavy Flamers 200
Sentinel Plasma Cannon 75
Sentinel Autocannon 60
Also! Pictures! No where near my usual standard yet. I'm just whacking colour on. After all I might never play this again after one game if its rubbish! Am missing chimrhinos and the third squad!
