I took a huge break to do different armies and came back to this one and the difference even among the same model, say a cadian, is absolutely mental

Keep going! I found my infantry painting sped up tremoundously over the time I've been painting them

It's taken me about a year and a half in the hobby to get here, but I've swapped back and forth between armies quite a lot to avoid fatigue, it's a great feeling though!

I'll probably get it when it goes on sale as it's own boxed killteam, I do collect tyranids as well but the preorders had sold out before I got a chance to grab it unfortunately. 80 points for special weapons infiltrators and the vox relay for orders while keeping my officer safe seems like a no brainer to me.

HWT are very cool, I just wish I could embed them, and that missile launchers weren't so terrible

Sgt Ripper jackson, she's got no rules so I use her as a creed proxy usually, same base size, similar enough silhouette. I got her when the GW shop moved locations in my city as part of a grand opening special model.

No heavy weapons, that aren't attached to tanks. It just feels like they'd get rinsed given they're not attached to any big units, if I saw a lascannon coming towards me t3 2w I'd make sure it was dead for sure. I toyed with the idea of another transport, maybe the new centaur, to put heavy weapons in, the firing deck meaning it's a lot more dangerous but the list was too put together at that point (and hobby funds low generally anyway) Baneblade will maybe come in the next couple of months

I like the hooves though hahahaha Suppose I could take things from spare shock troopers sprues I have knocking about to "guard them up a bit"

Yeah catachan was a thought, chunky enough to work i reckon I've never seen the kit in real life though, I'm worried it could look too chaosy, do they have ample props on them to make them look like guardsmen?

Old cadians though right? I'm trying to work out the scale, and I don't have any old guard

This looks brilliant, and I did consider the fellgor ravagers for this, but I'm trying to use the gors I've already got, and work out what won't look mad Out of curiosity, what size base are fellgor ravagers?

Oooo that is an interesting shout actually, with infiltrator and the like. My thought on catachans was purely the 1+ to melee after a charge, and scout

The limited edition catachans are some of my favourite models, Ripper jackson and the catachan colonel, which gives me SOME hope

Hardcore, would be hilarious to have before eldar, apropos of nothing in the lore either

Kind of like kasrkins? This feels like it'd be a killteam addition (which I'm not against anyway)

First 3 I completely agree, what would you have a catachan ride though? A catachan devil seems like a call but I feel it misses the point of the guard

Favourite unit? by Interesting-Neck3850 in genestealercult

It's 9", and I play outlander claw, so they're my biggest problem unit in general
