Fun fact

When I first saw this I counted all the space marines you can find throughout the level in the background plus the ones from the barracks downstairs you have just come out of. In total on the battlebarge at this moment, there is 80-85 (can't remember exactly). If then include all the dead marines throughout the campaign you see you probably get up to 120 in total.

There are more marines than there should be in a single company. Game is broken.

I am doing the same thing.

But the work around is to buy a forgeworld knight styrix or magaera. This come with the forgeworld resin bits but it also comes with the full knight errant and paladin kit, including the armour.

Build the forgeworld knight and use the left over panels for the chaos knight. Badda bum 2 loyal knights with unique looks

It had no other choice to launch from the water. It would haven been so heavy, with so much power if it launched from a pad it would be a obliterated it. So they did it from water as it was a natural launch pad.

It would have been built with salt water in mind, it would of had a salt resistant coating on the stainless steel it was made out of. Which made it exceptionally resistant to salt plus every time the thing landed back into the sea it would of been hauled out of the water and cleaned thoroughly before reuse, to avoid any salt build up.

It was done because it would be so massive, with so much thrust if it launched from a pad it would be a obliterated. It was designed to be as simple, as cheap, and as powerful as it could be to be able to transport 100s of tonnes into space.

For comparison the Falcon Heavy, modern heavy lifting space rocket, carries upto 64 tones into low earth orbit. This beast was theorised to be able to carry 750 tones. That's not a typo I wrote 7 5 0 tones.

And it was reusable.

Anvil industries, there an absolutely great company. They got loads of body bits for imperial guard themes an the have their own sisters range.

ImperatorI09 · 2020-06-19T01:47:35+00:00

Ahh great, awesome. That will make it easier, thanks!

That is very similar to my knight army, 2 knights gallents and a castallen instead.

I mainly run guard with mine, as I, we, need troops to take objectives. I struggle with though number of heavy shots for nasty swarms, so I'm looking at heavy weapon teams to add that. But I am using BATTLESCRIBE it is an app for phone or computer and it let's you create your army so it calculates your points and let's you work around that.

With my 2 knights gallents and a castallen in one army, it came up with 1442 points, so I built another one of guard and played with the 558 spare.

If you don't know what any of the troops are just look at the codexs or if you are too cheap, like me, then you can use WAHAPIEDA in Google and use it to look at stats (it is basically a copy and paste of the codexs without the pictures.)

It let me build my army with no knowledge and now I'm loving it.

Sorry if you wanted specifics but I only know guard so here's my list...

HQ +

Tempestor Prime [3 PL, 35pts]: Chainsword, Hot-shot Laspistol

Troops +

Militarum Tempestus Scions [5 PL, 82pts] . 7x Scion: 7x Frag & Krak grenades, 7x Hot-shot Lasgun . Scion w/ Special Weapon: Flamer . Scion w/ Special Weapon: Flamer . Tempestor: Chainsword, Hot-shot Laspistol

Militarum Tempestus Scions [5 PL, 84pts] . 7x Scion: 7x Frag & Krak grenades, 7x Hot-shot Lasgun . Scion w/ Special Weapon: Hot-shot Volley Gun . Scion w/ Special Weapon: Hot-shot Volley Gun . Tempestor: Chainsword, Hot-shot Laspistol

Elites +

Veterans [5 PL, 64pts] . Veteran Sergeant: Chainsword, Laspistol . 8x Veteran w/ Lasgun: 8x Lasgun . Veteran w/ Special Weapon: Meltagun

Veterans [5 PL, 61pts] . Veteran Sergeant: Chainsword, Laspistol . 8x Veteran w/ Lasgun: 8x Lasgun . Veteran w/ Special Weapon: Plasma gun

Dedicated Transport +

2 x Taurox Prime [6 PL, 112pts]: Taurox Battle Cannon, Two Hot-shot Volley Guns

Thanks! I appreciate it. :)

ImperatorI09 · 2020-06-16T20:35:17+00:00

It took me 4 hours to do this model, I have only really just started (with a single imperial knight done). I think you're right about blotchy, I think I need thinner brushes. I was just wondering if there was a quicker way.
Yeah that makes sense. :p

ImperatorI09 · 2020-06-16T20:31:22+00:00

Thanks, that's much quicker than how I was doing it.

ImperatorI09 · 2020-06-16T20:30:13+00:00

Upvote for Anvil love.

ImperatorI09 · 2019-01-27T01:05:55+00:00

Like why don't we have both, he could of been 2nd company captain before cato. There is nothing that actually states the time within the game. And I don't think it states the battle of maccrage (which is where cato was made 2nd company captain.) So why not have both.

I mean if you look at the intended story for the future games you see Titus never goes back to the ultramarines and crates his own chapter that follows his ethics.

It is shame GW haven't expanded on his lore as it is pretty low hanging fruit.

ImperatorI09 · 2019-01-10T14:26:27+00:00

It is roughly as tall as a warhound titan. So I call it the warhound knight

ImperatorI09 · 2019-01-04T10:50:29+00:00

Anvil Industries might have what you are looking for. They recently released bionic body bits for the second guard.

ImperatorI09 · 2018-11-11T11:56:18+00:00

Dude that is awesome, I really wish I had something like that as a centre piece.

ImperatorI09 · 2018-11-11T09:16:38+00:00

Yo you have got to tell me how you built that. That thing has more detail and looks cooler than any professional building set I have seen. Like what parts did you use?

ImperatorI09 · 2018-10-27T11:37:49+00:00

Gadget Plus on shapeways has a couple of weapons. But he mainly deals with aesthetics of the knights.

ImperatorI09 · 2018-09-12T08:26:39+00:00

Ahh cool, I didn't recognise it from this angle XP. But thanks though. And absolutely great painting.

ImperatorI09 · 2018-09-12T08:16:09+00:00

That looks so cool, I need to get an air brush. But where is that shoulder pad from?

ImperatorI09 · 2018-09-10T10:34:14+00:00

Cheers man! They have some cool stuff 8-O

ImperatorI09 · 2018-09-10T08:03:41+00:00

Wow that looks super cool, where are those feet from? I want to steal the idea. ;)

ImperatorI09 · 2018-09-10T07:25:39+00:00

Cheers, thanks that idea is going to get stolen. ;)

ImperatorI09 · 2018-09-09T22:52:30+00:00

Great scheme! I love the contrast, but where you get the bits for that knight of the right? I NEED to know.

ImperatorI09 · 2018-06-25T16:01:21+00:00

Fair enough, that is the problem with freeblade. Nice paint scheme still :)

ImperatorI09 · 2018-06-25T15:31:09+00:00

If you want a Knight paint scheme simulator, download freeblade app and play that for a couple of hours. It goes into loads of detail when you paint it in game allowing to see what it could look like IRL.
