I discovered this as I started to paint it and was furiously angry. I glued the forward bolt gun in upside down. I have two more of these to paint and assemble - one is one of the older version - with the individual wheels (looks like a nightmare to assemble - especially without instructions!) - that I've had kicking around the lead/plastic pile for years. Leman Russ Punisher tank from Games Workshop. but now that ANYTHING has the potential to wound. FORTY DICE BULLET HOSE!!! Okay, so they're only Strength 5. Which means I needed to paint three more Infantry Squads, another Mortar Squad, two more Commanders and Command Squads, another Sentinel and THIS TANK. Despite easily having that in Guaiacan Commandoes or Tallarn, I got it in my thick head that I'd like to put a Brigade Detachment of Tallarn on the table for this event.

But I thought it might be a good opportunity to actually get out and meet some of these guys in the league and see who else is into fluff and narrative.Ĭonveniently it's at a place that's, like, four or five blocks from my house and only 1000 points. To be honest, I still don't love the idea, I'm more about fluff and narrative than competition. For the longest time, the whole bring-x-points-and-play-a-'competitive'-battle style of play was anathema for me. couldn't resist putting one together for my Leman Russ troop.Īs mentioned in the previous post, I've gone and signed up for a TOURNAMENT on the 24th of this month! Those that have known me for a well, and for a long time, may be a bit shocked by this. The Astra Militarum Codex refers to this tank as an 'unsubtle built hose' due to it's Heavy20 type - with the new Grinding Advance rule that's 40 (FORTY!) dice to throw at one unit.
