Organizing the Chaos

I got some shelves to help me organize the hobby space. Quite happy I can fit all my Ravens on one shelf.

The Prince of Crows

First Captain of the Night Lords

My first Imperial Fist

So I painted up my first Fist....What do you think?

Atramentar Assemble!

So I finished the 10 man squad  (minus lightning bolts). Had a bit of fun with converting the Sargent. Overall I think they came out decent.

A Terminator

The first of 11.

100 power level game, 1.5.18 results

Hi All,
We played an 8ed game at the WH Store on 1.5 for Tony's birthday. It was a double surprise reveal as I unveiled my new Star Phantoms Primaris army and Tony even more shockingly revealed a Death Guard army! Shane allied with me, deploying his Deathwatch (we thought we were fighting T'au) and Kevin's heretic Astartes sided with Tony.

We used the new Open War cards which were pretty fun. The draws resulted in a spearpoint deployment, a relic to claim and a twist card which took the form of a secondary "kingbreaker" objective.

Loyalists won the roll to start the game and without belaboring the point too much, we pretty much rode that initial round to carry all subsequent rounds. The heretics bowed out at the end of turn three, allowing the Imperium to declare victory.

Sadly I don't think anyone took any pics but we have another game already planned for February 4th.

Thunderbolts and Lightning

Just some midnight clad test model shots.

The Truth at Armies on Parade

Acquitting ourselves with honor at the Armies on Parade event at the Warhammer Store. Pictured are Tim's Salamanders, Tony's Ultramarines and Chris' Imperial Fists.

I took home the award for best 40k army!

When it needs to die by fire.

Send in the Redeemer

Spartan for the Hammer Bros.

And I finished their ride!

Some hammer bros. from Nocturn,

Still have more to do but the first 5 are complete.

Dirturabo, Peter Turbo, Pert... That guy who leads the Iron Warriors...

Well, unlike Tim, this had nothing really to do with Inspiration! Tony K. asked me to paint this model when he first built Iron Warriors, He has been used in a few games unpainted, but no more! Here is Perturabo! Primarch of the Iron Warriors Legion.

The Hammer of Salvation; Vulkan, Primarch of the XVIII

I got inspired today and decided to go to town on this guy.

First game of 8ed

Red Scorpions defeat Grey Knights after a hard fought 5 round match. Good times.

Anyone for a game of 40k sunday?

Gork help me. More Orks.

Back from vacation and right back to painting Greenskins. Here is a freshly primed batch of Slugga Boyz, Lootas, Burnas, etc.

Pray for me.

8th edition Orcs vs Guard

First 8th edition game for me.

Tim and I played a 75 power level game last night. I was surprised how well balanced it was with the power level total, despite how vague it seems compared to points. We only played 3 rounds and called it a draw but I'm sure if it went on I would have savaged the rest of his army.

I love vehicles in this edition and not having the vehicle damage chart, before it kinda felt like they were made out of glass unless it was AV 14. Having all the special rules on the profiles right in front of you was awesome, although the new index was sectioned like shit. Shooting and melee rolling seems a little too simplified (I miss templates).

Overall I enjoyed it. They took away a lot of the rule lawyering and it played a lot quicker after I got all the new mechanics down. Woulda posted a couple pictures but this app freaks out when I try to load one.

Deff Dread

This brings Tyler to a "talon" of Ork Dreads. I am beginning to pity his first opponent for 8ed Orks.

Some HQ's For 8th

Decided to get a few HQ options ready for my combined Imperium list I've been working on.
