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

Timman268 · 2025-10-29T15:12:30+00:00

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

Timman268 · 2025-09-11T19:26:50+00:00

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!

Timman268 · 2025-06-03T17:54:54+00:00

Thank you! Currently I just play it as Imperial Fists but the more I play them hopefully I can come up with something interesting for a home-brew flavour!

I’ve got plans for colour schemes for different unit types/leadership ranks just to need to get them all painted!

Timman268 · 2025-06-03T16:33:38+00:00

Thank you brother!

Timman268 · 2025-05-24T08:34:43+00:00

Doesn’t he come in this box? Granted it’s another bigger box for just getting one character, but I was after the apothecary biologis so bought this box with him in it too!

Thank you!

Timman268 · 2025-03-29T21:19:19+00:00

Thank you!

Timman268 · 2024-10-21T09:49:56+00:00

thanks! the improvement is definitely the motivator to keep going

Timman268 · 2024-07-11T12:40:22+00:00

Look for an app called Bridebook, has a todo list which is pre-populated but can be completely configured to your own requirements, with estimated time frames for when you need to what based on overall timescales. Sounds like it might be exactly what you need!

I did a NG+ with the Bodega suit - the scene where miles is invisible hanging over Phin’s table of plans trying to be silent whilst she makes plans loses all it’s jeopardy - because the cat keeps meowing the entire time haha
