So all in all, one box of BaC marines plus 10 more for the additional tactical squad means that I should have a force that I'm happy with, is interesting to paint and has more than one use. All I'll need is an additional tactical squad to be able to use it in regular games of 30k (you need a minimum of two troops choices, and can't have more 'troops' than veteran tactical squads, so I read that as needing 4 tactical squads in total, two normal, two veteran). But after playing Betrayal at Calth a few times I think I am now going to paint the force up specifically for that game. I now have the rules and framework to use them in games of 30k, but it's not that often I get to play, it's going to be more of an exercise in fluff and painting. I was wondering what purpose my Shattered Legion force was going to serve. Well, this book did the same and it has been a long time coming. I remember when I got Book 1 and was blown away by the fluff, art and rules. Well I got my hands on it on release day, and in my opinion the book has taken the series back up to the heady heights of the original trilogy. When I heard this book was coming I knew I wanted a small Shattered Legion force. It's pretty simple and yet has enough complexity to keep your interest.Īnd this feeds in to our last topic, 'Retribution'. I lost two and won one game, so 4-4 overall now. Last week, after being informed by a kind reader that we were playing the game wrong we had another three games of Betrayal at Calth whilst at Warhammer World on Wednesday night. I'll hopefully finish him this week and get a proper post up to show him off. I added this after I varnished the mini so that it would remain glossy. I also added some blood to the big drill fist thingy using Tamia Clear Red. I've added some weathering powder in the form of brown around the shins and black around the vents and exhaust stacks.
