Painted stuff

I spent the whole night painting my Stormblade, Leman Russ Executioner tank, Sydonian Dragoons and a couple of Skitarii Rangers.

The tanks were easy to paint - they were already mostly painted. I simply needed to add Castellan Green. I went and bought Castellan Green on Saturday, and now I added patches in to give my tanks more life. They don't look so plain anymore.

Kind of glad with how they turned out. Now I can run an armored spearhead. Yay. 4 Leman Russ Executioner tanks (one of them will be a Tank Commander), a Stormblade andd 3 Armored Sentinels, all armed with plasma cannons. A plasma armored regiment for my Imperial Guard. Now I'll have to collect the Krieg Guardsmen and convert them into Draconians. Hopefully I can get enough plasma guns for them, or else it would be...yeah.

Speaking of plasma, I also painted my 2 Skitarii Rangers with plasma calivers. I can't say I'm impressed with the transuranic arquebuses, so I decided to replace them with plasma calivers instead. Fits the fluff of my forge world, Draconis IV more, since we produce lots of plasma weapons. I mean, just look at the tanks we manufacture for the Draconian Defenders Imperial Guard regiments. They get literally nothing but plasma. If I could, I would field every single Guardsmen with a plasma gun, but I guess the rules don't allow for that.

I also painted my Sydonian Dragoons. Can't wait to run them. I wonder how they will fare in a game maybe later today. I'll keep you guys posted. I also grabbed a couple of power swords and swapped the taser goads out for the power swords. I prefer the power swords with the +1 Strength and AP -3 as opposed to simply getting +2 Strength and AP -1. With the Vanguard's Rad-saturation rule decreasing the opponent's Toughness and Ryza giving them a +1 to wound rolls in melee, I figured a power sword would work better for them. So...yeah. I'll be wounding Space Marines on 2+ when I charge them, so might as well get the AP -3 one instead.

Anyway, we'll see how the Sydonian Dragoons fare today!
