Jason Strong : Unfortunately, it seems all of these files are no longer available. Almost done on my warhound I didn't tell any of you guys I was working on one did I If there's any demand I'll get some pics. The missus has a decent camera now Hooooly crap I'm saving every cereal box I get from now until forever for Titan construction.
Heh heh Sorry about the late reply, even though I had a hand in this. Paper: Regularly available thickness sturdy but not poster board, cereal boxes are a good pick. Styrene: Anything from 1mm and thinner for details. From my experience with two war hounds and other builds I have done with plans like these. The plans are intended to be used with card stock just general buy in or so sheet packs, stuff you get at any office supply store.
My first mock-ups were always in a cheap material such as card stock or cereal box cardboard, you can also get this at hobby stores its called chipboard. Keep in mind that the thicker the material the more you have to cut to shape and glue rather then fold and glue. I feel they are the most distinctive Marine Chapter in terms of looks.
The most elite army of infantry you can field. In terms of fluff, these are the protectors of the Emperor and are created from his geneseed directly. They are far more powerful than a Space Marine, and fall short of only a Primarch, and the Emperor of course. The background is these guys make all the Imperial military gear armor, weapons, vehicles, etc. These guys can shoot a ton and are also very fast. What they lack in raw strength they make up for with speed and capability.
They also tend to be on the fragile side, though not the most fragile army out there. Aeldari Eldar have some great psykers to top it all off as well. In fact, the army is very capable with psychic powers and have some of the most powerful psykers in the game.
In general, the army works by having specialized units. So, they have a unit for every situation. The anvil of the Imperium. These guys are your modern-day military equivalent.
They focus on large infantry squads with a TON of tank options for support and fire power. Astra Militarum is a weak close combat army who prefers to pound the enemy with fire power at range. Speaking of, they have a lot of artillery type of options where they pound the enemy at range without the need to see them. This is one of the strongest armies in 8th edition. Guard can put down a lot of bodies, a lot of fire power, and deal with anything they face.
A very diverse army in terms of unit choices but generally aimed at close combat. In fact, the army has very little in the way of shooting. Daemons make thorough use of psykers. The codex for Chaos Knights is very similar to that for Imperial Knights. In short, it will let you field an entire army of Chaos Knights. So, if you like playing with angry, stompy robots, then check this one out.
Lightly armored fast vehicles and poisoned weaponry are the mainstay of Drukhari Dark Eldar. What the army lacks in punch they often makeup for in volume and ease of wounding. Very much a finesse army. Also, Dark Eldar are one of the most fragile armies. In the right hands this army is brutal though. The focus of the army is on shooting. The evil Space Marines. Mostly generalists, like their loyal counterparts, but with some daemonic flavor giving them some very unique units.
Chaos Space Marines are usually effective mid to short ranged, though they also have some capable long ranged units as well. Death Guard are followers of Nurgle, the god of plague and disease. As such, Death Guard is a very resilient and tough army, which suits the lore. With some interesting vehicles, and the ability to take a hit, they hold up very well against anything.
Also, Death Guard have some capable psykers as well. Even the basic weapons in this army can cut through power armor with ease. Genestealer Cults is probably the best army for alpha strikes. Basically, the army is a merging if Astra Militarum and Tyranids — sort of. I do know they are really intended for inclusion in an Eldar or Dark Eldar army. If anyone has a good brief overview of these guys it would be appreciated. Great fire power, decent in close combat, and fast. Knights are relatively rounded, and the new codex opens up a lot of new options and variants for the army in 8th.
Necrons do have some good close combat units as well to help offset their slow and shooty nature. I feel that overall Necrons are a well balanced army, but they can be played a few different ways pretty successfully. Orks are scarcely armored brutes who love close combat. Orks can also do well with shooting if taken in enough quantity to compensate for their terrible ballistic skill. The army works well as a horde, a greentide, but the newest codex also brought back Speedfreeks as a style of play — fast, fragile vehicles.
These guys feature a lot of high powered long ranged fire power. Not only do they posses powerful shooting, they possess it in quantity as well. They do not have a single dedicated close combat unit in the entire codex. Still, if you like shooting things, and you like a Gundam aesthetic, then this is a great army for you. Lots and lots of bugs to swarm the enemy with.
Tyranids have a good mix of shooting and close combat, be it with hordes of bugs or utilizing large monstrous creatures. They also have a fair amount of psykers. Tyranids rely on synapse to keep themselves focused. Basically, the smaller creatures have to stay near the larger ones to avoid losing focus. The beauty of 40K is that you can play an army any way you like really. Horde factions can be played in a more elite manner, not just swarming the enemy. There is no best army for Warhammer 40K.
What was once a very weak can become the strong, and the previously strongest shuffled to the bottom. This is yet another reason to choose an army you like the looks of, and one that suits your style.
That being said, any of the Adeptus Astartes Space Marines is a good place to start. Space Marines are a a very solid army, good at everything, and a lot of the units are similar, in turn making it easy to learn the army.
Astra Militarum Imperial Guard also make a good starting army. This might have been your first step, usually is, talking to other players. From there we start looking at armies, often armed with some knowledge. Regardless of which order you go through, the below is useful information. Once you have a general idea of the Warhammer 40K armies you enjoy, talking with other players will help you cement your choice.
The game has a lot of fine details, and an experienced player can help guide you to an army. For example, there are a handful of Warhammer 40K armies in the game that really do well with close combat, but how each one approaches it will vary.
Orks will often try to drown the enemy in numbers and swarm forward where Grey Knights can use more elite assault units and fewer models. Some factions will favor certain tactics, like stealth and speed, where others are more direct. There is no better way to get all this information on the different armies for 40K than experienced players. If all else fails, hit up the internet. You can find some great communities that are friendly to new players. You can also try your luck with groups on Facebook, though I find they move to fast to be of much use.
There are a lot of blogs dedicated to one particular army, or a few Warhammer 40K armies. The reason is because they do not thin well. They do not hold their composition nearly as well as the miniature paints.
If you are going for quick low end table top quality paint jobs then they will do the trick and on the cheap, but if you want something a bit better without the head aches we need to look else where.
GW has changed its Citadel suppliers around three times since Rogue Trader was released. The first supplier was located out of Britian. They then moved to the screw top paint pots and went with a French supplier. More recently they changed to a Chinese supplier and jacked their prices up… Good thing for us is that the first supplier still makes the exact same Citadel paints that GW used to sell, and they are cheap!
All the paints you love for 2. One of the hardest things to find outside of the GW shop are a good pair of sprue snips. I found a great set at Hobby Lobby in the jewelry section for 6 dollars a pair which cut only on one side which is very important. They are actually beefier than the GW ones as well. While you are at Hobby Lobby go back to their model train section and pick up a 5 dollar pin vise set, 6 dollar Xacto Knife, 3 dollar modeling sand, static grass, and tons of other modeling materials.
If you are really going crazy with scenery and need a lot of sand, run up to your local hardware store and pick up a 40 pound bag of sand. Finally make your way to the painting department and stock up on good brushes. If you are serious about painting, I would skip GW and Hobby Lobby altogether for your detail brushes and get some good Kolinsky brushes off the internet, but for dry brushing and basing pick up some here.
War game enthusiasts have been making their own models for decades, so this is not uncharted territory. A well built model is just as good if not better looking that the original GW model.
However, keep in mind some tournaments will not allow hand built models. How much would it cost using this guide and how much from GW? Not bad at all! Straight from GW: All of the equivalent items would be dollars! We saved over half of the cost of GW for the exact same items. I fully support the idea of buying affordable, and sometimes better-quality, supplies and tools.
