The Warp splits....

K'Reeg roared a defiant shout "Rent the Warp! We emerge. The other races will cower before us. "

Yes, here they are. 248 points of Daemons. The pictures are a bit blurred or it might be my eyesight... not sure....!

So, erm, prepare to Daemoned.

The Gog with No Name dives for the finishing line!

Rolling in with 3 hours and 27 minutes to go here are Octobers figures. One Chaos Marine unit exactly 250 points if you ignore the Nurgle Icon. They do look a bit shiney as I have not spray varnished them yet (I like to make sure it's not too cold as the varnish can create a dusting effect at the wrong temerature / humidity).

The Guard rolls on!!

Okay Boys here is the progress report, my first 250 pts of Steel Legion Imperial. I have gone for a standard Platoon with 2 squads and a Command squad.

I used the Army Painter uniform grey as my primer.

The first squad then received a healthy coat of Army Painter Super Light Shade.

After some highlighting and finer detail they are ready to go......just in the nick of time!! Now all I need to do is win a game with them!!!

I painted some of my anti-tank unit at the same time while undercoating, more of this unit next month.

Deadline Day - Month 1

Well here it is!

It's the last day of October (Ok so I'm just under 4 hours early!) and the Month 1 target of 250 is nearly upon us. When the carriage turns to pumpkins on the Hallowe'en night then thy 250 shall be done or the slipper will be thrown to the Dwarves.

So far Silverback and Eddy have qualified for their points; the Fox needs to post a picture of the full 250 points and the rest are... well.... slacking to be honest.

First hurdle boys!! The first hurdle!! Giddy up horsies....

... I'll assign points over the weekend where earned, sort out the campaign bits and then sort out who is eligible for the GOG placing points. So far that would be 3 out of 6. 50%. 50!?!

ta-DAAAAAAA!

Well Now

For those doubting Thomas's - 250 points of Howling Griffons - Two Tactical squads each with an extra two marines to achieve the points total of - 244pts

But.......

I've actually painted 440+ points - two FULL squads and a commander.

;-p

9 Days to Go - an update

So gentlemen and fellow GOGgers - where are we now:

• Silverback and the Silverfox have turned silver into Gold and finished their 250pts



• VSM has made a decision



• The GOG with no name and the BFG have assembled some troops



• Eddie Artillery is a drop short with no news, no updates and no real excuse apart from reading some boring books.

So with one eye on the countdown, come on you GOGs let's have some updates on where you are with your monthly requirements.

Anyone falling at the first hurdle will be subjected to ridicule and derision - well apart from Jamie who is hosting us on the 29th!!

The results are in - and the winner is.......

The Ladies!

Yep, Sisters of Battle it is for me. I had a good rummage through all my stuff sitting in the garage and the SoBs managed to win me over, what with all the bits I've collected for them and a recent injection of fresh blood from the Silverback (cheers dude).

I think what I needed was a hook - something to differentiate them from the crowd, something to keep my interest. And I found it.

I wanted to make them something different from marines and I decided that the essential role of SoBs outside of battle was massively different. Whilst marines get shipped from warzone to warzone, wiping out the Emperor's enemies and all that, the SoBs have a much greater impact on the "normal" folk of the imperium, only being called into action when necessary. To this end I decided to make sure that the Mech army I was planning (lots of rhinos, lots of flamers, lots of meltas) would fit this role to a T. The role of the SoBs is to spread the emperor's word and also to enforce it and root out heresy, often over quite a large area where visits by the Emperor's servants are few and far between.

Therefore each of the rhinos would have to be more than just a troop transport. Some would be mobile shrines...... and on the flip side some would carry the implements of torture by which the sisters seek out heresy and ensure it is purged.

Fortunately the Exorcists I've previously put together fit this theme pretty well as they are mobile shrines, including the friezes on the converted launchers themselves. My mission therefore was to make the rhinos more the instruments of torture and compliance with the Emperor's will - as defined by the fanactical SoBs.

I wanted to give the impression that the rhino cavalcade would roll into one of the Imperiums many settlements and allow the masses to worship at the vehicles, but also that they would be there to root out, and punish, those they considered lax in their service to the Emperor. And let's face it, they'll never be short of finding people who in their eyes are lax in their service.......

So, first up is a unit of celestians with rhino and Palatine. I've stuck the celestians to their bases, so this weekend is painting and rhino building. Celestians first because they're the only unit I'm planning that is allowed less than 10 members so this will hopefully give me flexibility going forward when I need to drop a few points to get something in or have a few points spare.

Piccies to come once I'm further advanced!
