Assault squad
I recently snagged some new on sprue assault marines from 2008. I buit and painted them for my growing mantis warriors force. More to come!
Spontaneously decided to convert and paint a Mantis Warrior. WiP
Highlander tactical loyal to The Kurgan, badab war.
During the badab war, the Highlanders came to the aid of their progenitor chapter, the Executioners, on the side of the seccionists; however, disagreements over which side to support eventually tore the chapter in two. One side turned to support the loyalists - while the other rallied under the leadership of their chapter champion, eventually going on to form the Renegade warband known as "Kurgan's Gatherers"
Badab Skirmish 2.0
I really enjoy the Badab war as a concept and wanted to depict a small skirmish/duel between two chapters I enjoyed on opposite sides
Thematic force
Hi, im building a firstborn badab era army and am struggling with how to build a thematic list / how to organize my units.
So i wanted to ask first of all, what edition do you play in / do you use for building your army?
What units do you include / are most on theme with mantis warriors?
I have been thinking of eiter building my list around 10th/11th edition units and proxying primaris units with firstborn bodies but more or less WYSIWYG loadouts.
Or using older editions units for army building and whenever i get to play with the army either playing older editions or proxying models with "wrong" loadouts.
I am using a lot of bits and kits to get some armor variation but im not realy sure what units i should be building other than the classic tacticals, land speeders and maybe scouts.
Im not shure how to add for example the tranquility II veteran snipers for example. Any other ideas for thematic units?
Thanks!
First SoM completed!
I’m making a Badab skirmish (2 marine) diorama, and I wanted to have one of them be my favorite Iron Hands successor.
Loadout Question - 5th Edition
Hey all. I’m building a 5e Tyrant Legion army so we can just use the books as written. Do I want to put sponsons on my Leman Russes in this edition? They can move and fire their turret but I’m not sure it’s worth it to add sponsons they can’t move and shoot. Tips?

War banners
Anybody have a reputable source for custom astral claws warbanners? Pic for attention
Chaos and pirates
We're there any chaos or renegade pirates that attacked during the badab war?
Seems like a perfect opportunity for the chaos forces to raid and or conquer while the maelstrom wardens were all distracted.
Officially we're there any?
If not would you think they were around?
