That's what I use for mine, then use a bit of greenstuff and plasticard to form the armor around the guns and walla! You can also get these on ebay pretty cheaply although the AEGIS defense kits look better if done right.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-75039054151356818812010-07-02T19:54:33.877+10:002010-07-02T19:54:33.877+10:00Hey Smurf!

I l...Hey Smurf! Sorry I didn't respond sooner.<br /><br />I live in Woodland Hills. At the moment only game with my friends, but if I were to play anywhere else it'd probably be the new Game Ogre in Northridge. My boys just got a new basecoat, so they aren't ready to hit the field just yet anyway.<br /><br />@Kirby: Thanks man! I pretty much agree with your assessment; I guess I just wanted a second opinion. As much as it pains me, I guess I will just go with the Dreads as they look so much cooler and shoot better on the move. I will hit up Google for some easy/cheap TLAC kitbashes; do you have any suggestions?<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-52607930231544739152010-06-30T20:44:49.593+10:002010-06-30T20:44:49.593+10:00Hey, I'm in SoCal.

They rock. I'm buying those shields for my termies. Anyway... love your post lol. Reminds me of Time Splitters 2 and Goldeneye on the 64. My friends and I always joked I did the soundbytes for the weapon noise unlock because I'd run around going pewpewpew rataratarata BOOM with whatever gun I had lol.<br /><br />In regards to Vulkan; take him if you don't have a libby. It's one, or the other. At 2500 you could take both but at 2000 and less you're just that strapped for points. Null Zone is often much more worth it (oh hi Seer council) due to your Termie munchingness.<br /><br />@2000 pts I'd add in AC/LC Preds, Typhoon Speeders or Dreadnoughts. You've already got Speeders so I'd go fro either RifleDreads or AC/LC Preds and since you don't like Dreads w/o CCW go for AC/LC Preds. You can grab 2 and stick another Terminator in the non-Libby squad transport.<br /><br />I want bat reps of you yelling as you charge please :).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-75867921041229289002010-06-30T15:32:16.481+10:002010-06-30T15:32:16.481+10:00Thanks a lot man!
Nopers, I am not an Aussie. I a...Thanks a lot man!<br /><br />Nopers, I am not an Aussie. I am a SoCal valley boy that refuses to grow up.<br /><br />So at 2000 points you would drop a Tac Squad? That's pretty scary; at that point level I expect my opponents to have the ability to eradicate 20 marines at will. But since I haven't painted the third squad yet, it doesn't cause me any pain to drop 'em. So that leaves me with 260 points to spare after upgrading to an LRC and giving the tanks Extra Armor. What would you spend that on?<br /><br />You didn't mention Vulcan, so I am assuming that he isn't worth his cost in this army. I am torn as I have a raging boner for his MC'ed Thunderhammer and TL'ed Flamer rules, but he costs damn near as much as a Land Raider and I know I need moar(!) dakka, not a pimpin' IC that makes what I already have a little bit better.<br /><br />Your suggestion for the army at 1750 points is a helluva lot more viable than two LRCs; what a difference 250 points makes! In fact, it looks a lot like your SM armylist on this site, but with some Termies thrown in. However, as much as I appreciate it, and I know that you are suggesting optimal point/value units (Rifleman Dreads and AC Preds), I just can't bring myself to field it. Why would I choose to field a sub-optimal list? Well…<br /><br />Your suggestion of losing the Tac Squad at 2000 points has gotten me all pumped to drop the hammer (OMG, a pun?) on some xeno scum. I mean, how much more balls out can an army be to run all those Termies in LRs and then support them with the bare minimum Troops choices? That tiny deletion has turned my army into a rabid pitbull on crack! I can hear Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries" in my mind right now as I imagine squadrons of Speeders screaming outta the sky and spraying the enemy with gouts of flame and melta-death as two Crusaders full of the emperor's finest weather a shitstorm of enemy fire while charging into battle! I am so fired up at the prospect that I would be eating my keyboard if I didn’t need it to type run-on sentences!<br /><br />And that is why I will never win any tourneys. To me, 40K is a game best played after a couple doubles of scotch and with a sweet narrative. I make the pew-pew noises for my guns when I roll the dice, and grin like a maniac when I assault (even when I know I am gonna lose)! Please don’t think for even a moment that I don’t appreciate the 1750 point advice. I will be much happier getting faced at a tourney, but knowing that a decision of mine caused it, rather than holding my ass in my hands and wondering WTF happened. Also, I have some rare genetic disorder that causes me to roar out loud when my Dreads charge into combat, and for that reason I find it sacrilegious to field them sans DCCW. That said, I do have a few old school Preds and about 6 different Dreads to choose from should I tire of being rolled.<br /><br />Wow, sorry for the long-winded post! All this just to ask what you suggest for the 260 unused points at the 2000 point level, and what you think of Vulcan!<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
