Fear the Star Guard

Posted by Ranillon on 29. October 2008 20:42

I've been hard at work painting new models, but I figured I ought to show you my space marine army as it now stands.  It's called the Star Guard and has it's own unique symbol and history.

As you can see it is a Deathwing army.  I originally collected and painted up most of the models a few years ago as the new plastic terminators were first coming out.  That meant that you could buy the old metal terminators at discounts, which I promptly did.  I had a completed army after a few months of work.  I stuck with the force (and painted up a bunch of tyranids in the meantime) until more recently when I started adding more terminators, including a terminator apothecary and standard bearer.  Since then I've decided to work on a regular space marine army, especially given the new SM codex.

    Wow, how many terminators are there? I count around 30! With a LR and Dreadnought. I've only got 26 with no vehicles at all.

    I too run an Apothecary and Standard Bearer, they're almost required to have for what they do.

    Yes, the total is about 30, although some of them are extra heavy weapons from the time when you could take two HW with each terminator squad.  Therefore, I can only field 5 squads at a time.  There is also another dreadnought that didn't get into the photo.  So, the army is ~30 terminators, 2 Dreadnoughts, and 1 Land Raider.  I am near finished with a number of additions, so I will have more to post before long.

    Will you be giving the old Termies new 40mm bases? Then they will look even more imposing! Quality stuff fella.

    I too collected pewter at a discount when the plastic terminators came out.

    I'm upwards of 55 models now. All classic pewter (except my Belial model using the Imperial Fists model). Not pictured 5 hammer/shield guys. Everything on the new 40mm bases.

    I am working on wash experiments before continuing.
