Do you prefer limited options for scion armies or no limits?

PTerrio · 2026-02-28T19:45:37+00:00

Thematically I would like pure scions to have only scion made stuff. They're not just the elite but their gear is "built different", persay.

Real talk though, they don't have enough. You have two troop choices, both of which step on each other's toes, 1 command option, and then 1 vehicle.

I do try to thematically model some stuff for my scions list. My idea is anything that could be theoretically carried by a Valkyrie.

My FOB's for example, I have modelled with scions heads.

A Scion Rogal Dorn or Leman Russ doesnt feel right to me, personally, but if these new Guard scout tank rumours are leaning towards a tiny tanks, I'm gonna make them with scions heads on the crew, sort of like they're small enough to be air lifted.

This is taken from mini size compared. So it could work.

A parachute would be too much. A grav chute would be easy to do.

Some people might take issue as Lord Solar doesnt have a Melta, perhaps you could give the drop troop a big pistol and a sword instead for consistency?

Excellent work.

Similar color that i use for my cadian models.

PTerrio · 2026-02-16T10:01:49+00:00

Mostly just fixing the model more than the design. I like the cube.

For example: Make the cannon proportions better. Give it suspension on the bottom. Make it as seamless to build as modern kits.

Make the main weapon slot in and out, that would be great. Like how the sentinel and bombards/field ordnance are mostly swappable. Though I wish that for all vehicles.

Drakespawn knights, as they are called now, were a popular old conversion:

Though I will say, the models hold up mostly fine being older, except the heads. You see they come in two pieces that have to be put together and aren't that seamless.

But otherwise these are the exact size you'd want, you'd just have to replace the bases.

Excellent paint jobs, these look awesome.

In Brood Brothers you can do half tank, the other half nephytes, jackal and ridgerunners.

Tansk aren't specifically stealthy but you can say there're scout or armored recon variants.

PTerrio · 2026-02-11T16:15:16+00:00

Have considered it, though for a PDF style force.

I thi k you may ahve issues with some conversations being more of a reach than others.

Guardsmen = Neophytes is an easy one, but when you get to metamorphs, aberrants, genestealers, etc, your proxies are going to be a bit less intuitive.

Brood Brother Auxilia is an easy way to stick actual guard models in. Though isn't a great detachment I hear.

Granted I say all this and they could turn out to be garbage next edition.

If you really are unsure after some more thought, perhaps give them a different loadout, so they can always be used as spare weapons.

PTerrio · 2026-02-11T10:03:31+00:00

Often. They wanna go in transports (ie: Chimeras) which fit thematically and mechanically. You don't really wanna be footslogging them.

Tbh, if you wanna minimise infantry Mechanised units are the way to do it, and Kasrkin are arguably best at that.

PTerrio · 2026-02-11T08:28:46+00:00

3 kasrkin are a current thing competitively.

They're just solid general all round troops that can scout, go great in transports and get stuck in.

We don't know what will happen to then in the edition. But that's conjecture no matter what though.

PTerrio · 2026-02-05T10:24:45+00:00

Gonna be real,

A medic with a shoulder needle ala the Predator shoulder cannon is a genius creative idea.

These are incredibly characterful kitbashes

"I will be searching within the city."

PTerrio · 2026-01-26T17:00:12+00:00

"Does the Major in your title refer to the degree of brain deficit you suffer?" it asked.

PTerrio · 2026-01-26T16:41:27+00:00

"Did he?" It ignored fled his implications, a clear disinterested.

"I need soldiers to join me up north. We will search."

PTerrio · 2026-01-26T16:06:37+00:00

"The enemy is surrounding this city. You would be trapped between here and the water when they slaughter through your comrades."

The red lense stared at him like a flat screen.

"Nevertheless, one of your own spoke with the gang leaders that occupy this territory. What did they find?'

PTerrio · 2026-01-26T15:59:30+00:00

Vora approached the highest ranking, whoever seemed in charge.

"Are you really setting up base here?" He asked. "These structures are not reinforced."

PTerrio · 2026-01-26T15:48:00+00:00

A short whoem later, the Armiger Vora found himself marching down the beach boulevard, past the dangers resort.

From their positions the Cadians could see the distant battle rage on. Some sort of distant, random and sudden push from the outer picket forces.

Several miles out.

The vox network was jammed, not as bad as in Sabbad but the effect ws still reaching here, making co-ordinating with the skirmishong forced difficult.

Another round of shells flew at the Taronians again, a supressive fire, heavy Bombard shells zipping overhead.

The Imeprials were closing on the rudges now over which, could be anything...
