To me it's like, if you wanted the Gas Masks the Armageddon Steel Legion was right there, and has a lot of history with the larger fiction anyway.

I like the chem dogs and similar sorts of regiments thematically, they seem like they'd be doable pretty easily with Necromunda bits mixed with Cadian and Kreig stuff a bit. Or loads of 3rd party stuff all mixed up. Doubt I'd ever actually go to the effort of doing it though.

Virtual Russian posted:I always loved Steel legion and the Mordians, I've even got some epic Mordians printed, but not painted yet. The Vostroyans stole my heart though, the Blanche aesthetic is so strong, and they have that feudal look that screams 40k. I wanted to paint my Kreig kill team like the steel legion but the appeal of making them 1914 French with le pantalon rouge was too strong

Speaking of the Kill Team, does anyone have a guide to building characters and special units out of Veteran Guardsmen? I feel like I should be able to produce a number of Commissars, Snipers, and other minor characters (and Astra Militarum needs a ton of those, to heroically challenge much tougher enemies in close combat), but I was hoping someone else had already mapped out what could be built, which decisions would be mutually exclusive, etc.

Lostconfused posted:Yep, that's space marines. Not even close, Space Marines are a rapid assault force while Krieg are a much slower combined arms force that emphasizes artillery. 30k Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors fought in a way similar to Krieg but Imperial Fists are just a single chapter now and can't really do that while Iron Warriors have gone full on Daemon Engine monster mash. Plus both of them are way outside the aesthetic niche of what Krieg is doing. Edit: Jack B Nimble posted:To me it's like, if you wanted the Gas Masks the Armageddon Steel Legion was right there, and has a lot of history with the larger fiction anyway. Because Steel Legion looks a lot worse than Krieg and have an outsized focus on armor as opposed to the emphasis on infantry combined arms Krieg have. Also despite the "nazi" accusations thrown at Krieg's aesthetic, the Steel Legion are way worse because they are literally the Wehrmacht.

Admittedly a matter of preference, though.

You'll want a second box eventually because while the list is technically 10 models, you can additionally take some mediocre artillery or 4 extra generic bodies and the boots on the ground are basically always better.

EdsTeioh posted:The Kreig dudes also look good with Cadian head swaps if you don't want to break up the uniformity of your army and just call them "Cadian Special Forces" or some poo poo. Just call them hostile environment troopers, since there was an old FW resin upgrade for the old Cadian with respirators and enclosed helmets.  Also I've spent a lot of time checking painting videos for uniform ideas, and I might've even found a fun one to try with my older Cadians.Just need to pick up some Vallejo paints. And a slightly easy to do military green idea for my not-Raptors Marines.

There's a Sister (who is purging a Rainbow Warrior) in the Rogue Trader rulebook:  The metal Sisters came out in 2nd edition, with some new ones added in 3rd.

Imotekh doesn't give a poo poo about that. He's ruled arguably the largest most dominant awakened Dynasty since 781.M41 and has been the defacto leader of the Necrons as a whole for a long time before TSK decided to come back since many Dynasty's bow down to the Sautekh. He doesn't balk at the concept of civil war for the sake of uniting the Necrons under his banner.

I thought the silent king literally built in mind control protocols during biotransference that allow him 100% control over other necrons though Like a civil war shouldn't actually be possible since he'd just snap his fingers and peeps would kneel, even unwillingly, at his command. Then again a lot can go wrong over 60 million years of degradation.

I wonder how the game stats of imotekh compare to szarekh and if they can go toe to toe probably not looking at the size difference lol.
