Well as I'm sure people have sort have got an idea of what I have planned for a chapter of marines.
Well the intention of this project is to make a completely converted chapter of Machine Cult of the Adeptus Mechanicus which is to consist of,
- Techmarine Commander
- Terminator Librarian
- Terminator Squad
- 2 Tactical Squads
- Devastator Squad
- Land Raider Crusader
- 2 Whirlwinds
So I've got a fair few models to cut and change in the first month. I expect to be able to get it done though, so heres the game plan.
First month get the conversions and Techmarine complete along with the 2 tactical squads and well see if theres enough time to make one of the whirlwinds to support them, other wise it'll be left till the forth month.
Second Month, knock out a squad of terminators and the sergeants for the tactical squads, also the Librarian.
Third month, cut and change a devastator squad as well as the second whirlwind.
Forth and final month just leaves the land raider crusader with the conversions that i will need to make to it'll take almost a month to make to it I'm gonna need a month.
still haven't decided on a color scheme for my marines yet so i'll let ya's no bout the colors when i decide what they're going to be guys. So catch yeahs with an update i have one.

As the new rules require troops only to be able to take objectives, you're going to be screwed over a lot by that list matey...

Does that actually add up to 1800pts?
Seems a little under pointed...
Other than that I really like the idea!
For colors I would suggest you go with reds and take robes as they are essentially priests. When you get a test model done post it up!

I'm thinking that i might cut them down the middle and do one half a deep red and then a dark wash, and the other side either adeptus battle grey or shadow grey with a wash of delvan mud.
The robes, as i'm using dark angels models i was thinking i might try and get a glossy pearlesent finish on, that's if i am smart enough to work out how to do it.
But i think my whirlwinds are gonna be my favs, they're going to have chain fed turrets hopefully, again if i'm smart enough and if i get the materials to make the chain feeds.

A man after my own heart. Besides if he did that with 5th ed he'd be pwned in the first turn.

well guys, as i was informed just the other day my list is about to become obsolete and illegal as the new marine codex comes out next month, so what that means is i can't,
have a techmarine as my commander,
infiltrating devastator squads,
veteran sergeants in termie armor and thunder hammers,
can't have the whirlwinds launching mine fields every turn (not available in the new codex),
my librarian can't charge into combat and get between 6 and 9 attacks, he lost that psychic power,
oh not mention that i have no idea how i'm gonna design this army anymore list, wise now that
it can't be done the way i originally wrote it up.
that all said there's now no point converting the techmarine the way i was going to as the center piece of the army as well he can't be taken as a HQ choice, so well i'm completely #*&$ed! i have not got a clue what i'm gonna do!
but on a good note the librarian is completed, as is half a combat squad i've got and one of the two whirlwinds as well, so guess i'm off to a good start on that front, but confronted with a frozen wasteland on the other so guess we'll all see what happens with the release, who knows what may happen then!
just gotta get my camera to sync with my pc, some how, for some reason it won't, what a great start this is, but it's not as bad as some others, sorry guy's.

Its called: APOCALYPSE!!!
Anything goes!
And aswell as friendly games!
Why not screw how the rules affect your combat worthyness, your lack of minefield ammo for the whirlwinds and make a techmarine but just use him as a commander.
Go for theme, not rules.
