After getting my new hobby room (mostly) set up, I went through all of the Space Marine models I currently have. After comparing that list against what I need for Iron Painter, here is the Flesh Tearers force I'll paint this Saturday:
Captain (AoBR SM Captain)
10x Assault Marine Squad (Troops)
5x Assault Marine Squad (Troops)
5x Veteran Assault Marine Squad (Elites)
Furioso Dreadnought (Optional)
Dread Drop Pod (Optional)
This will be a nice start to my Flesh Tearers, with enough variety to not make things too boring. I'm using the AoBR Captain as my mandatory HQ choice because:
A) I don't have a Librarian model handy
B) My Seth conversion is not done
C) My Chaplain is almost fully painted
I'm doing the Veterans because I have a squad of Vanguard Assault Marines from the Space Marine boxed army release, and I have only 19 unpainted Assault Marines. Since the squad size can only be 5 or 10 for the Assault squads, my options became limited for making a legal list.
So, there you have it folks. This will be a tough nut to crack without a doubt, but I think the reward will be well worth it. Having a brand new Flesh Tearers army complete (or almost complete) when the new Blood Angels codex arrives in a month or so will be awesome! :)
Good luck to everyone this Saturday!
black n red for iron painter! this should be good. clock in another army for the year! good luck!
ReplyDeletePlease post lots of pics, I'm gearing up to build a flesh tearers army when the BA codex comes out.
ReplyDelete@Azlan- Thanks dude- damn shame you won't be there to paint up your Kindred or Catachans.
ReplyDelete@Tristan- I will definitely post pics of what got done, and I'll continue to post pics as I get new things painted afterwards. Thanks for tuning in!
21 Infantries, a Dread and a Drop Pod to be painted in 12 hours? Wow.. Just wow.. I doubt i can do that even with my Raven Guard. But me isn't you. So good luck and have fun.
ReplyDeleteSince this post I've dropped the Dread/Drop Pod as the optional pieces, and replaced them with Attack Bikes. That way, I don't have to bring my airbrush with me tomorrow. I have a feeling I'll just be doing the 21 infantry models he he he...
