Until recently, my Astra Militarum army was almost entirely infantry. I only had a Chimera and a Taurox. Then I went on another eBay binge and got another Chimera (opened but only slightly assembled) and a brand new Cadian Armoured Fist. Building the two Chimera’s will keep me (and my techpriest) busy for a while.
And I probably should have stopped there until I finished my backlog which now includes about 25 infantry and these two tanks. But no, I made one more purchase…
The lot consisted of parts for 3 Imperial Guard tanks: A Chimera, a Hellhound, and a Basilisk. I thought it was too good a lot to let go.
I’m looking forward to having a heavily mechanized army now. When it’s all assembled, I’ll have the following vehicles:
- 4 Chimeras
- 1 Taurox / Taurox Prime
- Basilisk
- Hellhound
I’m currently bidding on a lot that includes the parts to upgrade a Chimera to a Hellhound. I think a pair of Hellhounds is better than one! And I may switch out their hull-mounted heavy bolters for mutli–meltas.
With so many vehicles, I should probably get another tech-priest and/or some servitors. This tech-priest from Forge World looks amazing!
Someone needs to get me off of eBay…
