I shall have to research this, as background viewing while I paint up my Harkonnen chapter Marines. <br /><br />Straight black probably won't work, but a dark grey might. What colour were you going to do the cloaks?Thanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131215180965582008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549754274480995899.post-48063811523052149162011-07-26T00:51:13.152+12:002011-07-26T00:51:13.152+12:00Cheers guys.

They could never bring themselves to show that in the film/tv versions! <br /><br />And Than, 'shennanigans' might well be the one-word summary of the Dune storyline. <br /><br />Speaking of which, next up to try painting are some of the Fedaykin. Question is, what colour? Black is not going to work well at all in 6mm. Perhaps the reverse of the Atreides infantry? Light Grey still suits, with the raised armour as black? If only I was one of those clever artistic wargaming painters.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549754274480995899.post-5253596241927037802011-07-25T21:03:05.725+12:002011-07-25T21:03:05.725+12:00Awesome models, look foward to playing them!
Mari...Awesome models, look foward to playing them!<br /><br />Marines are a tricky army to play. In a simple head-to-head engagement with (say) Imperial Guard, they lose. But using their shennanigans (my definition; air assaults and teleport attacks) they present a real challenge to anyone!<br /><br />Key advice - check victory conditions on turn 3+, and multi-formation assaults (especially from high speed units like bikes/speeders) are nasty.Thanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131215180965582008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549754274480995899.post-24639999148481977862011-07-25T20:34:12.557+12:002011-07-25T20:34:12.557+12:00That Epic A posse is coming along nicely.
