Ideas for new army?

Post by Darthnox129 » Sun Aug 24, 2014 7:56 pm

Hi just started out. I'm building an Immortals side army called the Executioners. My hero is Donarr, a headless bionicle-sized avatar with black stone legs and torso and steel arms. He is the royal executioner of the emperor and the souls of those he slays take control of empty suits of pristine white armor to serve him. I have a good amount of troops in storm and clone trooper armor but I need some ideas for the fleet. I'm hoping for a medium-sized (gray) capitol ship, about five narrow, sleek fighters, maybe three speeder bikes, and possibly a small tank. Completely open to suggestion on any reccomended ideas or designs. Thanks. (Ships need not be big enough to hold a bionicle, Donarr can be summoned on the battlefield anywhere his followers are near to. Plz if I don't hear from anyone my stuff will most assuredly look terrible.
Studs for the stud god, bricks for the brick throne.

Yeah, I play Tau in 40k. What? Of course I have friends, why would you think I didn't?

Hmm, could you maybe upload a picture or two to give us some ideas? Your hero sounds very interesting.

Build boxes. With Dakka. Dakka-Boxes. Then put transparent all over them. Energy-Dakka-Boxes. And some times wheeels, or maybe engines and wings.
Ask now what I'm doing, even for me :mystery:

Sounds like an interesting idea. I'd be glad to help out with the capitol ship (assuming you want a mircospace one, that is). But, like Ken said, I'll need some kind of rough idea of what you'd like it to look like (sketch, crude LDD model, even a written description). After that, I'll work up a few concepts and see what you think.

How much uniformity would you want to the army? Clone troopers are fine for quick/cheap uniformity, I would change the heads to yellows though. Peaches should die. What? Some people avoid the use of third party minifig accessories but I really like BrickWarriors stuff, I've used a lot of it and seen it around here used well too. Even if you just changed the helmets on the clone troops and put them on other troops (cuz wasting is bad) you'd be doing some cool shit. Anyway, good luck and welcome.

Thanks. First off, the sets I'm going to demolish to construct this. Im using parts from Newer Clone Turbo Tank, 2nd most recent AT-AT, and 2 AT-STs, so most of the pieces will come from those. I was thinking that it would look similar to the Interdictors of the Empire in Star Wars, except it would have a wider front, more of an upward slant, and the bridge would go front to back instead of side to side. This is where I most need ideas though. The fighters are going to be easier than I thought, I'm good there. The only other thing I'm worrying about is the tank. I won't have many bricks left since I don't want this to have random bits of blue and yellow bricks, so I need ideas on what it should look like, for this one I really can use only Imp shuttle, Snowspeeder, and wampa cave parts. Thanks for being willing to help :studgod: . :studgod: :studgod: For the Stud God!

I don't need that though, the soldiers are just as headless as their leader, who there will be a pic of soon, because they are just suits of armor filled with souls! The souls of my defeated enemies! Anyway, I appreciate the ideas and maybe I'll use them for some other thing. And I totally agree about Brickwarriors, its an awesome site. I especially like their Trojan/Spartan line.

Oh BTW, as I said, I'm starting out, but if microspace means in LDD, then no, I'm building this in the physical world.
