A Call to War: Clan Hell's Horses Omega Galaxy Assault Nova with Recon star

[sapperleader]

In reading through each of the other forces, I decided to go counter to most of them.  I am a die hard combined arms player in "normal" Battletech.  Very rarely do I run mech pure forces.  Tanks, battle armor, and conventional infantry all end up somewhere (not just a point fillers either).  Thus I decided to go with the Horses.  In working on a force for an upcoming game, I read up on the Omega Galaxy.  The poor Warden Wolf cast off who came over the Horses.  Paint scheme is a nice simple Wolf grey with "hellish" accents.

Once the unit was picked, I looked at what would they specialize in.  Omega was bandit hunting for the Wolves when they changed clans, so I decided to build a modern bandit/urban assault nova with recon support.

Tomahawk II A                        55 Points   Juggernaut

Fast recon infantry point         14 points Ambusher

Clan Heavy Jump Infantry       14 points Ambusher
Hephaestus C                         19 points Scout
Hephaestus C                         19 points Scout

Total points is 404.  Next post will be made once I get a 2nd Aithon and the Golems  ;)

Edit :Realized that I forgot the extra Rache.  Then went this is more of a Nova plus star than a true trinary.

I think your Command Star is a point short. ;)

Horses!!! Sweet  O0

I like the mechanized and airborne infantry.

Yeah, very cool. However... no Svartalfas?
Even if this is an ex-Wolf cast-off band of brothers, I still think it needs at least a couple of Svartalfa protos... ^-^
Do it! Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!

Anyway, in all seriousness-- looking forward to seeing how you paint these up. Kudos for tackling the Warden outcasts!!

Proto's in AS are a bit problematic. I would love to have a point, but that would remove the recon star from the force since a point of Svartalfas is 85 points. Want to keep the binary if possible. Might have to play around with this some more.

[IAMCLANWOLF]

Eh... it's a great force, as is. I was just ribbing you-- while also attempting to live vicariously.
I love the Svartalfa, and have wrested with the idea of adding a point to my own Wolf force.
Even the miniature reeks of awesome... [drool]

[Saatch]

My favorite unit in all of B-Tech!

There is great responsibility on your brush. :)

I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product.  If I had more Clan Vees, I'd love to do a unit of Horses.

My force is coming along so quickly - despite few updates, it's nearly half done already - that I think I'll do up a Clan force, too. I was considering either the Horsies or the Wolves in that tiger camo from the Clan Boxed Set cover.
