When I got home there was a package from Forge World sitting on the dinning room table. Let's look at the contents of the box:
Ultramarines Venerable Dreadnought with Mk IV Chainfist and Right Close Combat Arm.
5 Space Marines in MK3 Iron Armour
10 Space Marines in MK5 Heresy Armour (2 five-man packs)
Space Marine Phobos Bolter 8 pack
Ultramarines Icon pack (I thought the icons would be bigger than they are)
The direction I will be going in for the Colonial GT is:
2) Run the same list but "upgrade" a few of my figures with either better (read - non black reach marines) figures or better paint jobs
This week I plan to paint up the 5 space marines in the MK3 Iron Armor and replace the four marines in this unit:
5 man tactical with razorback with TL lascannon
I really like the sergeant in this unit. The figure itself is cool - it's an older metal figure - plus I think it is one of my better paint jobs. This is the unit, plus the Razorback, that I will improve on.
The Stout Smurf
Jim has the luxury of daily conversations with me and my experience with this stuff. Knowing him, and knowing what I know about Forgeworld awesomeness, I made him make the investment. I can't wait to see him paint that dread!

ReplyDeleteThanks Bump.
ReplyDeleteIf Ultramarines weren't the bomb they wouldn't be on the cover of every GW box I buy? (At least that's what i tell myself)
