With a new edition of 40k coming, I've gotten a bit excited about the game again* and chatting to my brothers who both want to start with this edition we decided to do a mini-campaign between ourselves. One brother picked Tyranids and the other Space Marines, which left me unsure what to play to keep the story simple.
*I really wanted to get into 9th but it just bloated so quickly
On the way to Salute, however, chatting to a mate who is a regular gamer but doesn't own an army, he decided to join the campaign with it being the perfect opportunity to buy his first models - the army he bought being Sisters of Battle. Which then made my choice easy as I would just balance the sides.
The first things I bought were a box of Genestealers, while I don't want a horde of them in my proposed army, they are too useful not to own. 10 of them gives me a whole kill team for small games and a unit of something a bit sneaky won't hurt in bigger games.
As I'm joining my brother's fleet, I purposely copied his colours, matching his green and bone but slightly varying elsewhere, so that our armies should mix fairly well but not look identical.
Thanks for reading
They look great.
ReplyDeleteFast, tough and vicious in hand to hand combat it's one of the worst opponents a Space Marine can come up against.
They were great at opening up the power armour sisters wear
DeleteAn excellent choice and nicely painted.
