It's been a long time since I last posted here. Thought I'd share a new project. I got talked into joining a paint contest for 30k. Base is a betrayal of calth box and one transport. 2 months to paint it.

I've never been much of a marine player, and So I'm thinking more towards traitor legions. As I've never played any 30k and am going for maximum coolness factor I'm planning to kit bash like crazy. However, I have no idea what types of marines there are in 30k, is it basically he same as 40k options? Such as does 30k use assault Marines? Jump infantry? Sword and boards?

What do you think would make a kick ass 30k conversion army?

Check out 1d4chan's article on 30k tactics. Not only will it give you a complete breakdown of the army list and what's in it but also breakdowns for each legion and what they bring to the table.

But yes, you've got tacticals in squads of 10-20, specialist squads in 5-10 each with a special weapon, assault marines in 10-20, breachers in 10-20 (bolted and shield for boarding actions), terminators in 5-10 (cataphractii or tartaros armor), and a whole mess of non-40k stuff in the form of dreadnoughts and vehicles that are just awesome.

You've also got legion specific units that help each legion play like you'd imagine from the fluff. Check out forgeworld and just select the legion you're looking at under the HH setting and see what they offer model wise. Rule of cool always wins I say!

Competitive wise, IF are up there. WE are ok, and EC are bottom of the barrel.

Don't let your memes be dreams

David Bowie is, of course, the Eight Pointed Star. He is the lord of change. He is Ziggy Stardust's glam rock excess. He is the decay and despair that accompanies massive cocaine consumption and the Berlin Trilogy. And a vampire in the cult '80s film The Hunger (blood for the blood god?).
