Emperor's Children Assault Squad

Emperor's Children Assault Marine

It took over a month but they are finally done! Behold, my Emperor's Children Assault Squad. I really enjoyed painting this squad up because I love the MK II and MK IV Assault Squad kits and I was finally able to flesh out where I want to take the color scheme for this army. I had started with a pristine color scheme but I was not happy with it. Since my Emperor's Children army is suppose to represent a loyalist force (background to be fleshed out in the future) I decided to try a more battle scared approach to my Emperor's Children. In general I am happy with how it turned out. As usual constructive feedback is always welcome. For my next painting project I am painting three Emperor's Children Contemptor Dreadnoughts. Lets hope I can finish them in less time.

Painting Points Tally: May

I started keeping track of my painting using a points system as a way to both "control" my model purchases and too reinforce me for completing painting projects. May has come and gone and while being a frantic building month I only managed to complete a single model (at least it was a huge one).

Revenant Titan Completed!

Revenant Titan Update

Revenant Post Fall

It has been a while since my last update due to life busyness. I have an update on my ongoing Revenant Titan project and it is not good. Long story short it fell (along with my camera, hence the crummy iPhone photo, but that is another story) and broke its leg. I am repairing it as I type. This model and (long unfinished) Void Dragon Phoenix have always had a special place in my heart. I picked them both up at Warhammer World back in 2005 while studying in the UK. It has languished in a closet, survived many moves around the world, and almost found its way on to eBay on more than one occasion when my interest in 40k has waned! I have tried to give this model the tlc such a beautiful and sentimental piece deserves. Stay tuned for (hopefully) some photos of the finished Titan before the end of May. Just in time for the big Eldar release...

Painting Points: April Tally

I started keeping track of my painting using a points system as a way to both "control" my model purchases and too reinforce me for completing painting projects. April has not been as productive as I would like as most of free time has been spent completing grant applications for graduate school. I complete a grand total of one squad and one character.

Fulgrim and Davinite Priest

Black Library has given us a sneak peak of the next Primarch and event only model. As usual FW manages to exceed my expectations. I can not wait for these releases.

Death Guard Legion Destroyer Squad and Moritat

Death Guard Moritat

I have another update for my Death Guard. Here are ten Destroyer Marines with one Moritat. It took me a while to come up with color scheme that I felt fit with the fluff of having burned armor. Overall I am happy with the result even though it took about three tries to get it right.

I tried this squad on the table last week against a friend's Sons of Horus with mixed results. The destroyers performed about on par with an equivalent sized assault squad. I didn't have a chance to use their rad missiles to greatest effect though as by the time they were in a position to use them only units with 2+ armor save were left for my opponent. The Moritat on the other hand was utterly amazing. He hit 36 times with his chain firing plasma pistols and succeeded in killing every Terminator within range.   He has become an auto-include in any army that I take a Destroyers in.

Tournament Post-mortem: 3/30/13

Two weeks ago I played in a local tournament with my Dark Eldar. I have been a bit late in posting a post-mortem on the event so here it is. Better late than never, right?
