Legio Army Throwdown I, Pt. III - Feb 15th ELITES

Okay folks, here's the thread for all updates related to the third challenge of our Legio Army Throwdown, as well as the current stats as of today. Friday, February 15th from 9 to 10 (as usual) the good people of Hobby Night will cast their votes for their favorite Elites choice.

My plan is to show up with a Sons of Horus Contemptor Dreadnought with Multi Melta and Assault Claw with Plasma Blastgun. How about you guys?

I have a last minute change of plans. The converted Ogryns ain't working out. Storm Troopers have been assigned to support the Colonel

My terminators have a dedicated transport which is the land raider will be painting that up

Yay!!! I have received my FW stuff and I will be painting up one unit as Legion Veteran Tactical Squad for the Elite Throwdown.
Also I have read the Horus Heresy-Betrayal and can finally make my army list.
My previous list was from Space Marine Codex.....that's why you can see the troop with Razorback....which cannot happen at all.

FYI that is not a legal Elites choice, it's a dedicated transport. Sorry mate but it must be a selection from Elites

Oh ok,

But I bought the landraider from the terminator list of options and not from the heavy section it no longer part of my heavy support choices thats how i understand it technically csm can field 6 land raiders... like how u would buy a raider for a warrior squad.

Just need to double check that cause that would mean mech armies will have issues if they cant paint their dedicated transport bought with the unit itself

They're considered under Dedicated Transports irregardless.

Does that mean that my Blood Angels Land Raider/Rhino/Razorback becomes a Troops choice when I get it with the Assault Squad? Nope, still a Dedicated Transport.

I'll be bringing my Contemptor Dreadnought with the Kheres Assault Cannon and Power Fist (which is almost completed). I've bought my flight ticket back to KL from Penang on the 15th to make it for the Throwdown!

If you paint the Terminator squad AND the Land Raider, and display them both, you're absolutely good to go. Those two together are a legal Elites choice. The Terminator squad by itself is also a legal Elites choice. But since you can't take a Land Raider as an Elites choice by itself, you can't display one by itself.

If you want to display the Land Raider by itself you've got two wild card entries at the end. Dedicated transports could definitely be used for those dude.

Make sense?

Yeap crystal clear boss ty

Finally going to try to submit a remote throwdown using my Sekhmet Terminators.

Cool! Have you painted any as of yet?

In the process. Trying to get a nice red shade that doesn't look too orangey (i.e. like some BA)

I am scrapping my Legion Veteran Tactical Squad for the Elite choice and replacing it with a Apothecary.

I'm done with 1 Harlequin, have at least four more to go.

We'll see how it goes on Monday. If it's not feasible, than Fire Dragons it is then.

CONVERTED GROTESQUES!!!

I'm done with 1, and working on a 2nd one... hopefully i have 6 to show on the throwdown date!

Nice! Looking forward to seeing those

By the way, do I need to get approval for them first? Cuz they're not the same Dark Eldar Grotesques that GW is selling...

They are converted from Vampire Counts Crypt Horrors:

THATS nice dann!

Nice work!

Definitely no problem there- convert away!

Grotesques are supposed to look like that!
Nice work...evil Hemunculus!

thanks guys!
I'm already halfway thru the 2nd one... now it turns out i might not make it after all. *grumble*

I'll see what I can conjure.

whaaat? dude u got to make it bro, ur minis are awesome to see on the table Paint em you got my vote

Great use of the Crypt Ghouls!
