Update this week.

Restructured the hell out of my Enclave army. Again. But this time it's for good. (until the next time)

I'll upload a full army list a little later this week, as well as the second tactical squad. I'm waiting on two orders of plasma guns to finish the basic models of my command squads, so if I'm lucky I'll get those this weekend. If not, then they'll have to sit on the metaphorical shelf until I can.

Blah. One of the major problems going from 4th edition to 5th is that my entire troops section is geared towards what was a winning combo in 4th. Troops with close combat weapons, devistators with missile launchers. Now most of my squads either have an extra flamer, or missile launcher (I've decided to move away from devistators for this army) and I have a collection of chainswords to turn into bolters. That's not getting done anytime soon.

Speaking of things not getting done soon; the Enclave poster. My Enclave army is somewhere around 110 models. So far I've drawn about 7 of them.

On top of that, I now have an idea to make another poster after that. Clearly, I have high goals with about a zero possibility of getting done this year.

At least the Enclave army is pretty much done. Oh, sure, I need to still convert a couple of them, finish off the command squads and give an update to all of the tactical squads, but generally, it's done.

Now back to all the crap I have to get done today..

Army list #1: Enclave

These aren't finalized by any standard, but I have four armies, and I don't believe I have posted any army lists for them yet. Not including the Enclave tournament list, which is significantly different than the army at the moment. That said, here we go.

Hq 1: Chapter master (artificier armour,
(Honour guard squad? Maybe. I'll think about it. If there were some nice enough models..)
Hq 2: Captain (with bolter and auxiliary grenade launcher)
Command squad (5 plasma guns, razorback with heavy flamers)

Elites 1: Tactical terminator squad (10 man, 2 heavy flamers)*
Elites 2: Venerable dreadnaught with twin linked autocannon arms
Elites 3: Legion of the Damned squad (10 man)

Fast Attack 1: Land speeder storm**
Fast Attack 2: Land speeder typoon squad (3 landspeeders with heavy bolters and typhoon missile launchers
Fast Attack 3: Bike squad (8 bikes, 2 flamers, attack bike with multi melta)***

Heavy support 1: Vindicator (hunter killer missile, might convert the big dozer blade)
Heavy support 2: Vindicator (hunter killer missile, might convert the big dozer blade)
Heavy support 3: (Maybe a devistator squad? The Enclave could use some plasma cannons. Or lazcannons, but using the models for plasma cannons.)

Troops 1: Shotgun scouts (10 man squad, razorback with heavy bolters)
Troops 2: Sniper scouts (10 man squad, razorback with lazcannons, Telion, missile launcher)
Troops 3: Bolter scouts (10 man squad, razorback with heavy bolters)****
Troops 4: Tactical squad (10 man, razorback with lazcannons, flamer, missile launcher)
Troops 5: Tactical squad (10 man, razorback with lazcannons, flamer, missile launcher)
Troops 6: Tactical squad (10 man, razorback with lazcannons, flamer, missile launcher

*In the codex, it sounds like you get a free (i.e. no heavy support choice slot taken) land raider for one terminator squad? Can anyone confirm this?
** Proxy model, armoured truck, much less silly.
*** Bikes are actually going to be armoured jeeps, reasons explained in fluff.
**** Might make it be another tactical squad instead. I dunno.

Might not be the most flexible design, but how do you think it'd hold up? Opinions appreciated :)

Now back to making this poster..
