23rd Steel Legion Regiment - for Epic Armageddon

So, what is my starting line for this project?

Currently, the 23rd (Steel Legion) Regiment stands at

• Regimental HQ (1 HQ stand + 12 infantry stands + 7 Chimera IFV’s + 1 Hydra)
• 4 Infantry Companies (each with 1 HQ + 12 infantry stands), with one of them having a reinforced component of an additional 6 stand platoon

So this is a total of 5 command stands and 66 infantry stands and 8 vehicles

Then, we go to the armoured component:

• Leman Russ Company – 1 Vanquisher, 9 Leman Russes, with an additional 3-tank squadron
• 2 Baneblade Companies of 3 Super-heavy tanks each – both of these companies have an attached hydra AA vehicle

This comes to a further 15 vehicles and 6 SHT’s

The support component of the force is

• 1 Fire Support platoon (4 Thudd Guns)
• 1 Stormtrooper platoon (8 stands)
• 1 Vulture Squadron (4 skimmers)
• 3 Basilisk Batteries (9 SPG’s in total)
• 2 Manticore Batteries (6 MRLS)
• 4 Sentinel Squadrons (16 Sentinels)
• 4 Rough Rider Squadrons (6 horsemen and 18 bikers)
• 1 Leman Russ Destroyer Squadron (3 TD’s)
• 2 Ratling Sniper stands
• 8 Ogryn stands
• 1 Mobile Command Center (Leviathan)

So this is a further 22 infantry stands (including the thudd guns); 4 skimmers; 15 SP-artillery; 16 walkers; 24 cavalry stands and 1 SHT

And finally, some air support

• 2 fighter-bomber wings (4 aircraft)
• 1 Marauder wing (2 aircraft)

This is my starting force, which comes up to more or less 8,000 points, 117 infantry and cavalry stands, 7 SHT’s, 45 vehicles and skimmers and 6 aircraft. The models that I’m currently painting add an additional 450 pts, and I plan to mechanize 2 of the remaining infantry companies (15 Chimeras in total) for 300 more points. After that, I’m a bit undecided. Maybe an additional Leman Russ company (I have at least 4 more unpainted of these)

In the meantime, tomorrow I’ll put up another stage in my current models’ painting process. Thanks for reading!
