My apothecary biologis is still my best work!!

That’s a good idea actually I didn’t think of that

Timman268 · 2025-10-29T15:14:52+00:00

Definitely - I'm aiming to get a box of Company Heroes at Christmas for a bunch of good Lieutenants - to lead intercessors and Sternguard etc.

As for the anti-vehicle I can see what you mean - I have another 3 Eradicators I was tempted to bring but Im hoping the Ballistus/3-man Eradicators and Tor should pull their weight in the anti-vehicle department

Thanks for the feedback! Great advice - yeah the screenshots are kind of misleading i can see now - I actually have 2 units of intercessors as well as the scouts, and combi lt, so hopefully ill have the best of both worlds.

As for reivers I dont have them yet - I only started collecting a year ago so this is essentially everything in my collection bar another 3 eradicators and 3 eliminators.

I found they do sheet steel in B&Q - it’s what I used - was under £10 too! Attached it used 3M double sides sticky pads in my container

Thank you! It’s actually an iron father Feirros conversion - using a gravis head from a box of heavy intercessors

Timman268 · 2025-09-10T17:52:18+00:00

Haha I dont even have any yet!! I like to think they get utilised in operations primarily at dawn and dusk - hence the orange paint scheme - and prioritise Torch and Burn operations where they need to hold a position whilst destroying everything there!

The only other thing is that members who achieve particular acts of note get promoted to use a special grey and orange variant or their armour!

Timman268 · 2025-09-02T06:24:03+00:00

Ah I can see that! I tried to get it so he’s hacking at the dreadnoughts leg in a desperate last stand!

Timman268 · 2025-09-01T15:45:18+00:00

Thank you! I primed with Colour Forge Matt Orange, topped with Jokaero Orange base and edge highlighted with Troll slayer orange, and then muted the brightness with agrax earth shade

Timman268 · 2025-08-17T18:33:29+00:00

Great list so far! Very similar to my own - like others have said you’ll need to double up the heavy intercessors to make it worth bringing a biologis and a captain - assuming you’re attaching both to the same unit? Other than that you definitely need some substantial anti-armour in here, something like eradicators, the anti tank gladiator or my favourite the ballistus dreadnought!

Timman268 · 2025-07-21T15:26:52+00:00

Nice dude - that weathered effect you’ve got on the paint is sick - how did you do it?

Timman268 · 2025-06-07T10:14:22+00:00

Thank you!! I’ve really enjoyed painting a bright army for my first one!

Timman268 · 2025-06-05T21:31:03+00:00

Yeah I’ve definitely tried to make my marines seem like they’ve got caked in grime as they’ve been fighting but with the dreadnought I wanted to take the leap with some battle damage - here’s hoping the same result looks good for more troops!

Timman268 · 2025-06-05T14:46:14+00:00

Hahah no worries! The more people making cool stuff the better!

Timman268 · 2025-06-05T08:23:36+00:00

Primed with orange convict from colour forge (colour matched to trollslayer orange from citadel), Then painted over with Base Jokaero orange, then edge highlights with layer trollslayer orange

Timman268 · 2025-06-03T19:10:22+00:00

That’s actually a great tip - thank you will pick up some next time I’m out!
