Visually, how distinct are the solar aux laserbois from the void-hardened stormybois? Will they look ok mixed in a (40k Stormtrooper) squad assuming a similar color scheme (I was thinking White and Black for Grimdark Star Wars?)

I'd say very much so. Solar Aux are more detailed and bulky. Big helmets, too.

I guess, the forgeworld page has them both looking pretty similar to each other but it would hardly be the first time a FW paint job fooled me?

I have no idea which units you are referring to. If you are referring to the regular lasgun guys and the volkite charger guys, they look distinct if you know where to look. Overall though, they have the same aesthetic, the main difference is in the backpack and the helmet. (And the gun obviously)

OK, what is the most SoH thing to do with the 30 MK IV guys that you get in calth? 2x10 Vets with Tac Support and Heavy support for Chosen Doody? 2x 15 tacs with additional melee weapons? I'm feeling choice-stunlocked.

The Long March has the Super Bad Drawback of not having anything with Slow and Purposeful. Careful readers might catch that S&P was removed from HH entirely.

Isn't the SoH relic Cataphractii armour the only S&P thing still in the game?

Eventually, I came up with this cowardly centrist unhappy medium approach that allows me to swap out a converted Fell-hand for the Boring Cataphracti and includes the five Reavers that I have as well as the most of the Calth box. That way, I'll have some neat stuff to paint for every 250pts step of our FLGS' Tale of 4 Centurions and I won't have to buy much resin.

quote:

++ Zone Mortalis - Combatant (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List) [1246pts] ++

+ HQ +

Delegatus: Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol, Bolter with only Banestrike Rounds, Pair of Lightning Claws, Refractor Field

Librarian: Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol, Psychic Mastery Level 1, Refractor Field Force Sword

+ Elites +

. Apothecary, Legion: Artificer Armour

. Cortus Dreadnought: Multi-melta

+ Troops +

Tactical Squad, Legion: 14x Tactical Space Marines, Additional Chainswords/Combat Blades, Vexilla,
. Tactical Sergeant: Artificer Armour, Bolter, Power Sword

Terminator Squad: Cataphractii, Grenade Harness, Power Swords, Reaper Autocannon (or whatever comes in the kit)


Veteran Tactical Squad: Plasma Gun, Melta Gun, Vexilla.
. Veteran Sergeant: Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol, Bolter, Power Sword

+ Fast Attack +

Reaver Attack Squad: , 4x Chainaxe
. Chieftain: Artificer Armour, Power Fist, Hand Flamer

+ Allegiance +

Legion and Allegiance: XVI: Sons of Horus, Loyalist

Rite of War: Pride of the Legion

++ Total: [1246pts] ++

I'm sure I'll find an exciting use for the five leftover MK IV bodies. Maybe make a command squad outta them as well as a a hella crippled champion with the Space Marine Character Conversion set.

I love the skin. Did you use pale tones with washes? I love the way it looks.

Hixson
Mar 27, 2009

Thanks ya'll. Except you Endman.

The skin is an overly complicated mess, that could honestly probably be achieved with several less steps. I have a special snowflake kustom offwhite I mix that you apply as a basecoat. washed with a mixture of drakenhoff nightshade and sepia. highlighted back up with the basecolor, highligted again with base color + white. Then the low points/crevasses are painted with a Vallejo heavy red glaze, then blended into the skin color with a blue grey glaze. Then blood effects.

This is really good to know. Blue-grey glaze blending the red in - pro tip. Thanks for sharing.
