Hi All,
My 3rd army, surprisingly, still exists. This is an Imperial army which includes:
- Imperial Guard - Marengonian grenadiers artillery support
- Adeptus Mechanicus - 1st Squatarii Regt. (Squat models, used as IG equivalents or pure Squat)
- Adeptus Mechanicus - Ordinatus Oriflamme ?Battlegroup, with Exordinatii support
- Adeptus Mechanicus - Legio Nefasta (Blackguard Titan Legion) ?
- Space Marines - Legio Fausta
- Inquisition - Inquisitor Carolingian's Bastion
-------------------------
Reinforcements have landed today in the form of an Imperial Guard artillery battery and Command Land Raiders - althought the enemies of the 3rd Army, Waaagh Nazdakka, has received aid in the form of Flakwagonz and Pulsa Rokkits!
In short - Thanks Athmos, the box of troops has arrived. More about this later.  ?

So here's the tally of reinforcements. These have arrived in two contigents, sent by Dafrca and Athmos - the latter bought from France and still in their blisters.
Dafrca's space marine contingent:
12 old metal Dreadnoughts (the good old Deredeo, Furibundus, etc.)
6 plastic SM era Land Raiders
16 plastic SM era Rhinos
5 plastic SM era Land Speeders (my favourites from this lot - and my first ever Speeders in Epic)
3 metal, 6 plastic Mole Mortars
3 metal Tarantulas
6 plastic Thudd guns
1 SM bike stand
All of these, except perhaps the odd Rhino diverted to the Inquisition or Squats or Ad. Mech, will go to the Legio Fausta SM.
Athmos' contingent:(all E40k era metal)
2 command Land Raiders, 1 blister
6 Griffons, 2 blisters
4 Bombards, 2 blisters
4 Manticores, 2 blisters
1 Deathstrike, 1 blister
The Land Raiders go to the Legio Fausta, the rest go to my IG Artillery btn.
Athmos' uvver contri - cogt - boyz:
3 Flak Wagonz, 1 blista
5 Pulsa Rokkits, 1 blista
Nazdakka's warband will get the lot.
So, a big thanks to Dafrca and Athmos for the 'Gran Soccorso', as we'd have said in 1565, and now to start... one Rhino is in hand. This will take some time.......
Objective 1 - BUY THAT CAMERA!!!
cheers.

Sounds great Vanvlak. I still feel like it's Christmas everytime the nice mailman brings me a package with Epic stuff.:;):
With your usual ingenuity (sp?) I'm sure lots of interesting stuff will come out of this lot.
Cheers!

Thanks guys, it IS fun! Now comes the best bit - deciding what to do with the Griffons (they're too short ranged to stick with Manticores, so they'll be a fire support company upgrade - for who? Squatarii?) etc. - you get the idea. I've also got some serious dilemmas: I have 4 Bombards, and three make up a support formation. I could add the 4th to a pair of odd Basilisks or an old extra Manticore, but the range difference bothers me a bit - you're reduced to using the Manticore or Basilisk at reduced range, and therefore potential - still the same, points-wise, but not done. So: do I convert the extra Bombard into something else, or do I try to convert some other stuff into Bombard-equivalents? The latter sounds more fun, and two Bombard support formations are better than one - I have a soft irrational spot for the Bombard.
Then there's the Deathstrike - I need two for my support formation. I could buy another one (there was only one available at Athmos' supplier) from GW or somewhere... or convert something into a Deathstrike. Guess which. 
L4- to put your mind at ease - tactical colours all round, with the odd brighter oanel here and there for the marines, but nothing too bright. I admit I do like bright Marine armies, but I'm trying to get a more unified feel to all the bits of this army, so..
