Steel Legion Armoured fist!

Well here we are.....last day of the month again and posting my 250 pointer for the GoG army!

I have a chimera shown here, however I intend to replace this one with a Hanomag once it arrives.

This will be in keeping with the whole WWII German theme I am following.

I will also be using another Hanomag to transport my Ogryn......gotta have them!!! New rules coming that makes them irresistable! So I also get to use my beloved original Ogryn figures, six of them!

This time around I have used a mix of GW washes on the base colours and I have also colour coded the arm badges to set the out as a different unit from the infantry Platoons.

I have also noted the "Bodyguard" entry in the sneak releases, this led me to think on using a model which I bought for my Demonhunters army 4 years ago.

WiP.....few more conversions with wysiwyg on the officers and their trademark items.

Next month a peek at these trademark items and the biker gangs "Rough riders".

I Tried to resist but…….

….I succumbed to the urge to make and mould.

A few months ago I had a conversation with Varistat about drop-pods.

Ergo - it is his fault!

To summarise the conversation: Wouldn’t it be great to have lots of drop pods.

This idea never left me. They never do sadly. They just swim around in the void behind my eyes and then randomly force their way back into my consciousness.

I spent this weekend making a master to be moulded. I decided to ape the style of the GW drop-pod but went for a quartering rather than the five sided look of the GW ones. The main reason for this being that it would be easier to fit the bleeders together after casting.

Sunday I poured the mould and skipped home on Monday full of glee to find the mould had worked pretty well. Sadly, however, my hopes that the 5mm top vanes would survive extraction from the mould were dashed.

Plan B. Trip to Alec Tiranti to buy casting resin & filler to reduce the amount of resin needed. Tuesday night – four successful casts. Clearly they still need flash removing and some work to tidy certain details but generally I think it has come out fairly well.

I think they should look pretty pucker in the Griffins colours!!

if i could get my pictures up I'd be dangerous....

...so here they are for the month!

1 unit of sisters (with obligatory rhino) and a unit of 7 Seraphim. The seraphim benefited from a re-basing and a bright new green colour for their smocks. After differentiating the celestians with purple outfits i decided that each of the types of sister should have their own colour, and I'd recently discovered a way of highlighting green that I was pleased with so green it was.

I now only need to build & paint the turret of an exorcist and finish painting the turret of an immolator and I'll be at 1,500. Good job really, as my attention is really starting to wander to other projects instead of thinking about my last 500 points. Now wher did i leave those dark Eldar.....

Deep striking in with 1250 Points

What a busy month this has been! Spent the first 3 weeks putting together my 2000 points of Tzeentch for the Rhondda Valley tournie - pictures to follow at some point.

Somehow I've found the time to add my 250 points for this month as well (don't want to miss out on points!!).

So here's the fancy new Heavy Support choice: Call him MISTER Daemon Prince. He'll be Tzeentch'ed up hence the blue and gold armour.

Next up my new favourite model: a Bloodcrusher. The Juggernaut paints up really easily. This chap was painted on a Friday afternoon in a B&B in Aberdare, Wales. He was then finished off after the Rhondda Valley tournie on the Saturday night whilst catching up with Match of the Day.
And finally a quick 35 points needed for the month - The 5th Flamer!
After a few games at the lower points values I've decided that small troop units with 5+ saves are just not cutting the mustard. So my army list has changed considerably (whilst not losing anything already painted); out go the planned Pink Horrors and Flesh Hounds. Final list at this time has...
HQ
Lord of Change
Bloodthirster
Elites
Flamers (x5)
Bloodcrushers (x4)
Troops
Bloodletters (x16)
Daemonettes (x17)
Plaguebearers (x10)
Heavy Support
Soul Grinder
Daemon Prince

Next Month: Bloodletters, Daemonettes and another Bloodcrusher I think...

Braggina System Update

The Sisters are doing it for themselves. Many planets have fallen to the ravenous ladies and so it has now become the aim of every self-respecting GOG to annihilate the VariStat. Which should then leave the way for the Daemons to steal in....

Oh and the next victim of the Guard will be fighting on the Guard home planet so remember the BFG gets a free re-roll every turn! If they lose then they be Pirates.

Here come the Romans

Having completed the GOG portion of Orkyness for February, I turned my brush to my first batch of Romans.

And here they are (basing to follow). I would point out that the shields are totally hand painted... by a professional whose work is then turned into transfers.
