At the time G.McNeil had written about Honsou & the Iron Warriors so they were my Allies along with Nurgle Traitor guard zombies.<BR/>The games we had were fantastic ,so much so that we then had one every year with up 25- 30 people in attendance(for our store that was fantastic).So my army developed trying to strictly adhere to the book but also to make it a playable army.<BR/>Now if u ever try to play an authentic B>P>Army at tournament the grief u get from whingers makes the whole experiance just not worth it.Playing games with an army that u have taken from a book is also risky.First thing out of a friend of mines mouth was "That armys shit you've got no plasma"<BR/>Then i have to explain"Their Blood Pact u Fuckin Idiot" before whooping his ass.So to please the masses and not frighten the to much we stuck these simple rules.<BR/><BR/>We used the standard imperial guard list as our mother list only borrowing frm the traitor guard list.As the Blood Pact style them selves on the guard.<BR/>1.get rid of comissars ,psykers ,preists and replace them with Aspiring champions from the T.G.list.A A.champ should near enough represent these things anyway!<BR/><BR/>2.Take all the powder weapons u can ie. shotguns Grenade launchers Stubbers ,Autocannons (50 cals)etc<BR/><BR/>3.Take out stormtroopers, Take the Death Brgade instead (article in white dwarf cant remember what number but i have it somwhere)<BR/>I also have rules for the Loaxtl somewhere.<BR/> <BR/>4.replace Ogryns and whiteshields with the T.G. listing Abhumans and Mutants (with the khorne ability)<BR/><BR/>5.Take hardenend vets,Die hard skills .<BR/><BR/>Hopefully most people wont shit thier pants and start cryin "its not in the rules"<BR/>And remember ur an Eto-DemiGaur so play in character .<BR/>If in doubt "CHAAAARGGE"<BR/><BR/>We sculpted 5 or so different heads and bodies then spun them.<BR/><BR/>My mutants represent mutants...remember the variety of pact troops is next to that of the guard itself.Aliens ,Mercs, all find a home after taking the Pact!<BR/><BR/>I've around 5-6 thousand points of stuff including Air support,Titans,Armoured company,Mech company u name it .<BR/><BR/>next on the list Tumble guns ,Stalk tank (any Defilers to big ,but u never know)Roughriders abhumans (cruikshank)..<BR/><BR/>As for the mini uprising ..many have tried (havent they dave)<BR/>I'll be sure to send a letter to ur folks telling them u were a brave soldier!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-21581073530875092022008-03-21T15:17:00.000+00:002008-03-21T15:17:00.000+00:00you cant get it anymore, which is a pain and also ...you cant get it anymore, which is a pain and also i want them to have some variation so i didnt really wanna go down that route, cheers for the suggestion though e.t.the-seventh-sonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889343967649672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-50387435848689058362008-03-21T15:13:00.000+00:002008-03-21T15:13:00.000+00:00seventh-son: I use the old raptor aspiring champio...seventh-son: I use the old raptor aspiring champion head for grotesques.<BR/><BR/>Big: I think I've still got a Zoid T-rex and maybe a (partial) Brontsaurus one.
