how exactly does one model an all female guard army?  Is it just a girly paint scheme like pink or did we go happy with the greenstuff?

I used models from four different companies.  The heavy weapons are for the most part GW.  I have six Rocket Girls and three lascannon on tripods, for example.  Several companies have recognizable grenade launchers.  I did conversions to give non-GW models plasma pistols and meltas.  The Necromunda House Escher line is well represented.  So are Shadowforge's Politburo and Special Ops lines, and Foundry's Street Violence and Cossack wives.  (One squad is made up of Foundry's bikini babes with guns models.  Someday I'm going to play the beach ball as a demolition charge or void grenade...)

They started out as chaos cultists, but were reorganized as Imperial Guard when the cultist rules changed to not allow lasgun.  Originally, my Ladies of the Night featured marines (Modeled as Sisters of Battle) demons (mostly Reaper succubi) and cultists (anything female carrying a gun.)  It was a very varied and flexible force.  These days, I need three different codices to run them.  I'm vaguely hoping to do the occasional Apocalypse battle that can bring them all together again.  While the cultists were originally intended to model civilians given lasgun as a desperate measure for self defense, and thus their 'uniforms' are painted with no two models alike, the over all paint scheme of bleached bone, red gore, boltgun metal and black still holds over all three armies.

With the new Guard codex, I'm likely to start bringing the 2nd Gomorrah in on Saturdays for play after Rob's Dark Heresy.  Anyone who likes to insult armies by calling them 'little girls' is welcome to give them a try.  Four infantry platoons.  Platoon HQs carry plasma pistol and two melta guns for close in work.  Two squads of infantry per platoon, no exotic weapons in the current incarnation, just nine lasgun and a laspistol.  One squad of heavy bolters per platoon.  The fifth squad in a platoon varies...  with lascannon, rocket launchers or mortars in various squads.  Three tanks, three sentinels, 15 cossack cavalry, assorted commissars and a few snipers round out the list.

Sorry, I just like painting female models more than male models.  They are cuter, and the models shoot just as well.   ;D

what does this have to do with the tournament again.......? I can see the taunting, bragging and asking for team mates but I fail to see what this and some of the last few posts have to do with the tournament.

STEVE D!

how dare you! My posts are always relevant and interesting.  FYI, Steve Riley (Space Puppies) is looking for someone to team up with also.  An unexpected scheduling conflict with his team mate.

Someone taunted little girls.  Someone else asked how I modeled them.  I responded.  I also may have found a partner for them.  Anyway, I don't see myself repeating anything similar at this point.

Anyway, the male armies so dominate these boards.  Don't the ladies deserve equal time?   ;)

Are you willing to work with little girls?  If so, I'm good.

I'd field two Infantry platoons as listed above, a demolisher, 3 lascannon sentinels, some rough riders, and a very bland Company HQ.

Sorry, I can't partner with you blantyr.

Looks like it's planned to go until 7pm.




Also, I have a CSM biker who was going to be used for Ghark parts in my Ironskins army but I found different fodder.   Looks like Doomrider will ride again! NA NA NA NA

Would it be bad if I had to bring my 5 year old with me?  Having trouble getting a babysitter.  Also what time does it start?

1. Mandatory HQ choices for an army are optional. Such choices may be taken as the
one required HQ choice. The one exception is the Black Templar Emperor’s Champion,
who must still be taken but does not use the HQ slot in the Force Organization chart.
Thus, a Black Templars player must take the Emperor’s Champion and another HQ
choice.

Does this mean that Spaces Wolves can use this option to only have 1 HQ instead of our mandatory 2 for a 1250 point army?
