My young grot has decided on painting his marine force in the scheme of the Crimson Fists! Thursday evening we'll head to our local GW for some painting and maybe a 750 points game. I had him look through the codex and pick which one he liked the most. I did however discourage him from the White Scars only because of the paint scheme. Tough to paint for me and I didn't want to buy the $50.00 foundation paint set that actually ahs the only foundation white and black in there.
He liked the Crimson fists colors. He was reading through the dex last night and he goes "Hey Papa. Did you know that a chaplain allows me to re-roll all failed to hits......" Kid is really getting into it!
As for my painting. Last night I got a Flesh Tearer ASM done. Based and sealed. I am trying to get the whole list I have, painted by the end of the month. I am going to visit some old friends in Chicago area just before Gen-Con and I would like to have a fully painted 2000 point army. It shouldn't be too bad. I only have like 35 models in the list Lol! I am choosing these to do because they are easy for me to paint and they'll fit in one GW case. Easy for traveling!
I'll update with pictures when I get home. I got form my friend up there in Chicago about 35-40 Jump pack marines a couple of years ago. I never used them. I was thinking of doing a BA army but the PDF codex was not appealing to me.Now with the descent of Angels rules and possible furious charge bubbles, I think the BA Jump pack army may have something! So off the top of my head I have the following to paint:
1 x Commander Dante
1 X Librarian
5x Honour Guard
5X Sanguinary Guard
10x Assault Marines
10x Assault Marines
1x Sanguinary Priest
1x Chaplain
5x Vanguard Veterans
Updates soon to come!
That kid is learning fast. Hopefully we can get a game in soon with your jump pack marines.
