For my Call to War force I picked Clan Hell's Horses Iota Galaxy. This force is set in the Darkage timeline.
I picked Iota for their unclan like fighting tactics and this was also a good way to intergrate some conventional vehicles into a force. That and the fact that their paint scheme is solid black, without trim or highlighting. However, many Iota warriors take to painting their equipment in several outrageous colors. So it gives me some options.
Iota is a defensive force that is meant to hold up an enemy long enough for a frontline galaxy to respond.
Force selection was pulled from what I had on hand. Also trying to fit the flavor of units Ranger Clusters emphasizing speed.
Striker Star (75% of the unit receives the Speed Demon Special Pilot Ability)
Joust Medium Tank 32 Points Skirmisher
Joust Medium Tank 32 Points Skirmisher
Wyvern IIC 36 Points Skirmisher
Great Wyrm 33 Points Skirmisher
Thresher 39 Points Skirmisher
Corvis 30 Points Brawler
Sweep Star (75% of the units in this formation receives the Blood Stalker Special Pilot Ability)
Cizin Hover Tank 28 Points Striker
Cizin Hover Tank 28 Points Striker
Donar Assault Hel. 16 Points Striker
Shamash Recon. 13 Points Scout
Asshur Art. Spotter 17 Points Striker
Asshur Art. Spotter 17 Points Striker
Piranha 2 17 Points Striker
Hellion B 28 Points Striker
Giving me a PV total of: 366

Not as far as I had hoped to be on this project but progress is being made.

Got most of the units primed this evening and hope to begin painting this weekend.

Huh, the Cizin is larger than I'd imagined.

Looking forward to seeing how these turn out. I really love the HH paint schemes.

An interesting selection of minis, and the CHH Iota Galaxy offers the opportunity for some creative paint schemes. Can't wait to see how these turn out!

Those CZs look sweet, and are indeed larger than I had anticipated. I need a pair.
Nice to see a Donar in the mix, too. Love the character of that miniature.
-
Oh yeah, I bet you think you're soooo cool, with all your stinkin' horsebutts, and helicopters, and stuff!!
I should be painting my horsies too. Maybe seeing your BEAUTIFULLY painted miniatures will be the kick I need to ignite inspiration and motivation?? Time will tell!!

Out of interest, how many mm long are the metal Cizins? I'll try and remember to measure a plastic one.

Looks to be about 31mm nose to tail.

Which, funny enough, is right around the same length as other 40-50 ton hovercraft.
