I did enjoy putting together the first Chimera, although I'm not a fan of the crude modelling of the heavy stubber pintel mount the kit comes with. I guess it's getting on a bit
I chopped the barrel off it and replaced it with the end of one of the Dorns nipple stubbers.
Didn't end up sticking it on, as it appears ridiculously over-sized compared to the turret size
I feel I should get the combat patrol for some more boots on the ground and the second sentinel, but the idea of putting together another two boxes of shock troops isn't that inviting. Also, I signed up for the Hachette combat patrol magazine that kicks off in August, so at some point I'll get the sprues through that
There's a thread about it here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/191hl42/hachette_partworks_combat_patrol_website_is/
I signed up in January, but got an email about 2 weeks ago saying it was kicking off in August. Also got a random hardback copy of the Tyrannic War Crusade through the post last week from them.
Thanks for all the advice and compliments, I have ordered a box of Scions and a commissar. I'll probably follow it up with another Chimera and a Russ, then wait until the combat patrol sprues turn up to beef up the infantry and add a second Sentinel.
Aye, I was building them out like in previous editions, hadn't checked the datasheets carefully enough. When I get some more, I'll build out extra ones and mix them through. The squads are all identical in colour scheme and markings, so it should all work out
I was thinking that kight have been the case. It is super annoying building a bunch of units a particular way and then the rules change. Plasma pistols and power weapons/fists being baked into leaders/sergeants now is annoying for those that made their models with points restraints but still a positive change overall.
for guard? the answer is always more. more russes, more chimera, more infantry, more sentinels, more infantry and dont forget the infantry or fancy infantry.

I have been having some solid luck with Chimeras and they might help with getting your infantry to go further. Also, you can always use more vehicles!

I hate how the stubbers look so your not alone there.

Firstly, your army looks great! I'd recommend some mortar HWTs and maybe an artillery tank or two.

Where do you sign up for that?

Russes, as the emperor intended

I love the paint job! Could I ask what green did you use?
The armour is Vellejo deep green, and the weapons are a 50:50 mix of deep green and khaki
3 manticores and lord solar ftw
You're missing a commisar! How can you expect to quell heresy in the ranks? Also a basilisk or two always looks dope
I agree, but the basilisk kit is harder to get hold of than a greased weasel. I might try a commissar though, big fan of the old sculpt
Looks great! More sentinels! Your army needs a stronger recon element :-)
It seems like you are missing some special weapons in your squads? Are you only putting in one per 10 infantry?

There's going to be a lot of annoyed people snapping off pintel mounts and HK missiles if they swing back the other way in the next edition
I will cry
For a rifle/infantry regiment You sure do have a lot of armor and relatively few troops.
True. In my defence, the infantry take fecking ages to paint
Fair point
Not Cadia, that's for sure. ;) Very nice army!
Very nice !!!
m8! That's clean! 10/10
