I’ve been trying out a new, quicker way to post updates on Tumblr. I made this picture using Instagram on my iPhone. I’m quite happy about the quality of the picture so I guess updating like this will be a common thing from now on!
Just saw the new Tartaros pattern Terminators, I’m not sure wether I like them or not.. The cool thing is that these are basically MkIV ‘Maximus’ pattern versions of Terminator armour (which is the preferred pattern of power armour for the Mantis Warriors). Though the poses seem a bit static..
What do you guys think?
Wow, I haven’t posted anything in ages! Time for some updates then.
I’ve been working on a couple more Mantis Warriors for my army. This unit of 4 + a Sergeant will be one of my entries of this years “De Lage Landen” Painting Competition 2012. For those not familiar with this competition you read more about it here.
They’re obviously still WIP, painting the chapter symbol on the other marines will be a paint in the butt though!
I made this list out of what I ordered from ForgeWorld. I ordered what I thought was cool so this list might not be great.
Please tell me what you think.
HQ: Company Command Squad
Company Command Squad
- Frag Grenades; Close Combat Weapon (x4); Lasgun (x4); Die Hards; Hardened Fighters;…
You might wanna try the updated Siege Regiment list for 5th edition, you can download it right here. Other than that I like the list, it has a lot going on and I love that you included an Engineer squad, as the miniatures are awesome!
Looking forward to see some mini’s once your order arrives. :)
Hey guys,
Ever since I saw the new Imperial Armour Badab War books I’ve been tempted to start a Badab War army. This is a test miniature from the Mantis Warriors, one of the four secessionist chapters who rebelled against the imperium. I really liked their fluff and the colour scheme got a nice update from the Forge World team, I didn’t really like the older colours. I want to do a couple more chapters to see which one I can paint relatively fast and see if I can paint an army of them!
Conclusion: I really dig the scheme, the fluff is also very nice as mentioned. They’re a successor chapter of the White Scars, which means they are mongolian-like in appearance which I like a lot! However, the chapter symbol takes a long time to do properly and I still feel like I could’ve done a better job on it. I’d love to do an army of them if Forge World decides to make a decal sheet for them (as they did for the Carcharodons, Astral Claws etc.), but for now it’s probably a no..
The next test model will probably be either a Lamenter or Carcharodon.
I’d love to know your thoughts!
So, Dreadfleet came out on advance orders today. Love how the overall game looks like, especially the Skaven ship it’s brilliant! Not a big fan of the price tag, though.. I’m having my doubts about whether I should buy it or not, the thing is with these boxed games is that they are in limited quantities, just like Space Hulk was 2 years ago (which I bought by the way, awesome game and miniatures!). So should I miss out on it and later in the year realise that I actually want the game and find it for twice the price on eBay, or should I order it today?
@councilof13 Thanks for the reply mate. That’s very true indeed, the same with Space Hulk really - two years later and it goes for £100 on eBay!
32nd Vraksian - Chaos Renegade Militia
Hey guys,
I dug up an old unfinished project of mine last week, I’m a bit ashamed that I never finished these awesome miniatures.. So I guess it’s about time I started cracking on them again! I started this army back in 2007/2008, somehow I wasn’t motivated enough to finish this army. Luckily GW The Hague has a 40K double tournament coming up in October, the perfect opportunity for me to finish 700pts worth of Chaos Renegade Militia. I still need to make a 10 man Veteran squad for 700pts, this is the list I’ll be using;
HQ
Company Command Platoon (95pts)
- Company Commander w/ CCW, Plasma pistol.
- Veteran w/ Regimental Standard
- Veteran w/ Vox-caster
- Veteran w/ Plasmagun
TROOPSInfantry Platoon
- Platoon Command Squad: Commander w/ Powerweapon, Vox-caster, Missile Launcher team, Commissar w/ Powerweapon (105pts)
- Infantry Squad: Plasmagun, Missile Launcher team, Vox-caster (85pts)
- Infantry Squad: Plasmagun, Heavy Bolter team, Vox-caster (80pts)
- Infantry Squad: Grenade Launcher, Heavy Bolter team, Vox-caster (70pts)Veteran Squad (135pts)
- Shotguns, 3x Meltaguns, Vox-caster, Demolitions doctrine
FAST ATTACKHellhound (130pts)
Total: 700pts
I’m using Codex: Imperial Guard as the Forge World rules aren’t allowed. My partner will most likely be playing Death Guard, I don’t have a list of his army yet.
I’ll keep you guys updated as much as I can.
Cheers!
Hey guys!
I just came home from Cologne, Germany for Games Day Germany 2011. We went to Cologne last friday to explore the city, relax a bit and talk about Warhammer, obviously! This was the second year I went to Games Day Germany, I was there last year as well. I’ve been to Games Day UK twice as well, in 2007 and 2008.
I had to say that I had a lot of fun this weekend. I read on Forge World’s Facebook page that the Exalted Vermin Lord would be available to buy on Games Day, so after we got in we immediately went to the Forge World stand (like everybody does on a Games Day, right?). Luckily they still had one for me! I also grabbed the Limited Edition Chaos Dwarf Hellsmith, excellent mini! However, this is where a problem started to occur. I wanted to use my PIN pass to pay for everything but the PIN device wouldn’t let me, we tried the PIN pass from my friend as well, it didn’t work either.. Finally it worked when I tried another PIN device! Phew, what a relief! After the Forge World stand we went upstairs to see more of Games Day, including the Forge World design team. Unfortunately there weren’t any new miniatures that I hadn’t seen yet..
A couple of hours later I decided to pick up the new Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought as well, together with two Assault Cannon arms! I saw some excellent painted versions of these on Games Day so I just couldn’t help myself but to grab one myself. My plan is not to start a Space Marine army, but to enter it for the Golden Demons next year. Somehow I never get around to finish something for the Golden Demons and every year I regret that I didn’t finish an entry. The coming year I will spend a lot of time on this project. A friend of mine (who won a Golden Demon in the “vehicle and monsters” category three years ago!) is going to help me out by keeping me motivated to finish an entry for once!
My ticket included the Limited Edition Games Day miniature from this year, a Clan Skryre Warlord. I also picked up the Limited Edition Games Day miniature from 2006 that I didn’t own yet. Just love the fact that the daemon head is the actual Golden Demon!
If anyone is interested I’ll post some pictures of the Golden Demon entries I took.
