Squaduary

Following on from the idea of Dreadtober, ThousandEyes over at Stepping Between Games has introduced the Squaduary event. Same basic idea as Dreadtober: Build and paint something in a month. The difference is that this one is about Squads of Infantry and such instead of Dreads and other big 'uns.

Before the Legions supplement came out, I had been planning on running my Alpha Legion as Raven Guard Counts-As with the Talon Strike Force. To that end, I'd pulled together a bunch of bits for some heavily armed and trained and boosted Culties to represent Scouts. Despite the awesomeness of the Alpha Legion Rules in the supplement, I kind of feel like I still want to do this, just for the lulz. So here I've got a mix of SM Scout, Tempestus Scion, Catachan, Flagellant, and Chaos Marauder parts, ready to mix and match for some sneaky evilness.

Hopefully I'll have build pics up sometime early next week, and until then, y'all have a good one, y'hear!

  1. Got smacked about by the alpha legion last night - a terminator lord with the mind veil being a particular thorn in my side (bye bye contemptor - serves you right for rolling snake-eyes!)

    Underestimate the alpha legion at your peril, especially what two fulls squad of marines with plasma guns can achieve when they infiltrate!

    1. Yeah, I'm very happy with their new Rules. But I've already got the stuff for these conversions (along with some for Vanguard Vets) and I find it amusing to do Counts As stuff with Alpha Legion, so I'm still gonna run them as Raven Guard occasionally. Def gonna be seeing table time as proper Alphas too, tho.

  2. Looks like an awesome bits bash! I love it when books provide great themes for conversions like this.

    1. Thanks! I've got a good feeling about them, think they're gonna come out pretty nicely.
