Krohmus Guard Space Marine Chapter

 Behold, the Krohmus Guard Space Marine Chapter. I recently took everything out as I wanted to see how much repairing I'd need to do but luckily, theres nothing too major. Few missing weapons/backpacks, not much else.

I'm not sure how many points I have in total, but they're not far from the 10k mark. Notable parts include...

Battle Company

Adeptus Stormwing

5 Dreadnoughts

3 Lascannon toting Predators

20 Legion of the Damned

Its all painted to at least tabletop standard but theres still a lot to do to finish models off, and theres always the temptation to add to the army too. Knight, new Command Land Raider perhaps... So many options... another being adding a second Battle Company. Yeah I'm starting to get that nuts!

Obviously the most recent additions are the Assassin Execution formation from  the boxed game but I have two already so not sure if more than one of any kind can be used but the new models will probably take the place of the old, which means I may sell the old ones and have more cash to invest into new models. I'm quite possibly selling my Imperial Guard force too, its only about 1000pts so will see what I can do with that.

Theres definately something about getting the army out though, will need to get some fixing done soon as this summer I'm hoping to work out everything I have and use it in a game, gonna be a big one! I'll be updating the background of my army soon too, how it works, some history etc. 

Where do you guys think I should head next? More scouts? I've got another ten Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield Terminators here I may paint up, perhaps a first company too? I think I'll go crazy!

Battle Company and Chapter Name Reveal!

So the Evandalists have now gone. Its now offical, that I have finally found a permanent name for my own custom Space Marine Chapter.... Behold...

The Krohmus Guard it is! The reason I've gone for this is that the word Krohmus is a twist of the original word that 'chroma' comes from, which is the value or effect colour can have. It seems very apt considering the colour scheme I chose for my force! Enemies shudder as the might of the Space Marines approach, but why are they so colourful? Surely they cannot be the Emperors finest? As the enemies are confused the Krohmus Guard strike to full effect! This effect for me is part of the idea behind the name, and its here to stay!

Also, you'll have noticed that I've got a big Aocalypse game coming up on the weekend and one of my aims was to get a battle company. Well, here it is!

The only thing not done is the Standard, but thats mainly because I'm certainly not rushing into painting something that should be a centrepiece for the army! I did find my old apothecary, but decided to get some bits to make a new one. Heres the command squad below!

Here are the three dreadnoughts that will be part of the company, although I may switch the heavy flamer toting dread to one with a lascannon as I can bring him down in a drop pod and torch a lot of heretics or Xenos! 

My two assault squads, units I've not really used much before but I'm getting to grips with them and finding them very useful. 

The other formation I wanted to do for the Apoc game was the predator assassin squadron. And what a deadly bunch they are! If all weapons on a predator hit you can exchange the three lascannon shots for a single strength 'D' hit. Yes please! 

I also made this guy, as one turret I obtained was missing a hatch. I think he looks pretty good and the pointing hand works well as he acquires the target to bombard with lascannon fire!

So as you can see I've been pretty busy, now I just have to wait until I get my big mitts on the new codex and get a list written! Can't wait to see how these, plus my other units will do in game and what Chapter Tactics I'll go for in the big game this coming Sunday. Whatever I choose, the Krohmus Guard shall eradicate the enemy!
