As some of you might know... I have been putting thought into replacing the necron army which was lost as a casualty of love...
I went through different army types... I went through hundreds of army lists(computer aided list building for the win) and finally decided on imperial guard.
I am not super Pro-Emperium or anything, it just seems like there is no current player, and it looks like so much fun to paint...
So after a large box arrived at my house(after a long drawn out explanation of my plans had been drafted into my family wish list) and contained no models... I was set to put the project on hold... However word from central operations had me still hopeful...
The report was this: "Your brother had me meet him in Geneva at some game store where he was buying your gift" this was further made to be intriguing as my sister texted me "sent gift from same store brian bought his gift from, that liar he said it would get there by xmas."
So today, upon my doorstop I found a Chimera and a Basilisk, and immediately felt like Ralphie, from the christmas story, fining the Red Ryder after all of his presents had been opened!!!
Now I will probably exchange the basilisk for a Leman Russ, but thats because I think I will go with a colossus for indirect fire instead... I mean it ignores cover...
The Plan
Well you know how in high school a bunch of people ran around thinking they were doing magic.... Yah... That is sort of the idea. The fluff will describe how chaos space marines, specifically sorcerors, convinced a planetary defense IG they too could have the power they hold.
So in the end the sergents and commander will all be psycher models(though will posses no special powers). The army itself will be "renegade" and be represented in the following way:
The infantry guys will be Catchacans... painted with tattoos and piercings. The veterans will be Cadians,(as I will probably upgrade their armor every game and the models are suited to represent this)and the storm troopers will stay karsikans as they are regularly represented as such. I hope to add bodies and skeletons all over the place and add marks of Khorne and the other greater deamons where suited... especially on the vehicles... You know, like they are prepping to travel through reaver space...
That what I have so far... no name yet... though I am working on one with sounds cult-ish....
Wish me luck!
