| Quote (CrimsonFury @ 29 2004 Feb.,19:54) | Ah yes, now it makes sense. IIRC Tuffskull had converted some Grey Knights using the forgeworld multi-part infantry  |
You're half way there.
The force will be mainly based on the FW multi part marines & generally speaking, highly converted throughout.
However, its not going to be Grey Knights. That project hit the can when Will Hayes produced his GK & GK termi figures & I lost all hope, so I'm going for a different style.
I bashed together a new list at the airport earlier today & it seems achievable on the modelling front & incorporates some of the suggestions put forward here.
Commander & Retinue
1 Terminator Detachment + Supreme Commander 425
1 Land Raider Detachment 400
825
First company contingent
1 tactical detachment+6 Razorbacks+Hunter 525
1 Predator Detachment 300
825
Scout Contingent
Scout Detachment 150
Bike Detachment + Commander 250
Bike Detachment 200
Land Speeder Detachment 200
800
Titan Legions Support
1 Warhound Titan 250
Total Points: 2700
I'll be doing some further predators, whirlwinds & support vehicles at some point as well, but the main bulk of this force isgoing to take me some time to put together!_________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

wow... a 60? tactical det...
They will sure look absolutely gorgeous, but that's an expensive formation... If i had the money, i know i would quite like to do the same thing...
But i like infantry, and i certainly can't afford 240? for my 4 tac det, not even considering Assault and dev...

Please dont remind me......
I've bought a few of the 6 part marines at every show they've had them at over the last 2 years rather than buying in one lump. It somehow seems less painful shelling out ?10 a time......   _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

I've already had a couple of emails requesting pictures of my marines / progress reports.
Thus I feel I should point out here to anyone else thats hoping to see what comes of this project:
This is NOT a short term project. I currently hope to have the force ready for Golden Demon / The Epic Painting Comp 2005. It will be a long while before there's much worth showing I'm afraid - if I'm spending this kind of ??on an army as pointed out above - its going to have to be very special & I want to take my time over it.

That is right, I just broke 20,000 points of Guard.
OK, I know that compaired to some people *cough Primarch couch* that is not a lot of points, but for me, it is. 
Now to get them all painted so I can show off my mini-horde.

I am most honored to be given this title.
However, in the desire to be fair, the total includes some "Use As" stuff. Like some of my Ogryn have Gorgons for their transports. Or I have some Knights as one of my Leman Russ upgrade Formations.
As long as this is OK, then I accept the title and will do all in my power to keep up the collecting.

I could scrape up 20k of Imperial Forces including IG, SM, Titans (and 6 Ordinatus) and Space Support vessles (including 2 BB and 2 Battle Barges)
Does that count??? Or does it have to officially be one army. Maybe I could do it with IG, Titans and Space support....
I'll have a count up during my leave... Now I have a great excuse to clutter up the whole dining table

Do it, it is so much fun to get it organized and see what you do and do not have.
