Warhammer 40,000: Class of (Spring) 1986
Chapter II - Obtainable Goals and Paint Schemes
According to the Warhammer 40,000 app, I have just shy of 3,000 points in Space Marines. I know it’ll be impossible to paint all of those to a decent standard by time the event is over. Ultimately, though, I would love to have a fully painted 2,000 army at some point.
So where to begin?
If the finish line is the 2,000 army, then the starting goal should be something simpler. We are going to start with the Combat Patrol: Strike Force Octavius.
Combat Patrol: Strike Force Octavius:
- Captain in Terminator Armour (Captain Octavius) (95pts)
- Librarian in Terminator Armour (Librarian Tantus) (75pts)
- Infernus Squad (5 models) (80pts)
- Terminator Squad (5 models) (175pts)
- 12 models/425pts
Starting with the models that are a part of the Combat Patrol will put me at almost a fourth of the army painted and give me a fully painted army for that game mode. Seems like a win-win.
Now, what about a paint scheme?
One of the things that I’ve loved about 10th edition has been the freedom Games Workshop have given the hobby side of the game. With it being a lot less what-you-see-is-what-you-get, any chapter of Space Marines can be painted in any creative way we want. With that in mind, I’m going to strive to make the grim dark future a little less…grim dark.
One word: Synthwave!
