Project Update: Sisters of Battle Exorcist

Well after a few years of sitting primed on my painting desk, staring at me as I painted other minis, my Exorcist has had the sole focus of my last two days of painting.

It is a beautiful model and now that it is painted I am regretful to have left it sit for so long.

This will almost complete my collection of Sister of Battle, but I have a few additions I hope to make in the future due to the new White Dwarf Codex.

I just about have all the models for a Canoness' retinue as well as a Confessor and Retinue, so once those are collected and painted I will be done painting Sisters of Battle, anyway on to the other Exorcist pics.

Well that is it for the Exorcist, please feel free to leave a comment or two and let me know what you think.

Project Update: IG Command and Cygnar Field Mechaniks

Well just a quick up date with some of what I have finished painting lately. First up is my buddy Scott's IG Company Command Squad. I have stuck with the agreed paint scheme so really not a whole lot different then everything else I have painted thus far for this large commission.

Next up is the first of Scott's Commissars. He chose the color scheme for these guys, and at first I wasn't so sure but after painting his first one I think it looks pretty good and so the rest will get the same treatment.

Next are for my Buddy Mike's Cygnar Commission. Above and below you will find two units of Cygnar Field Mechaniks. These guys were pretty fun to paint as they are so completely different from all the other Cygnar stuff.

Well that is it for what I have painted this past weekend. The Cygnar and Chaos Marines commissions are close to being finished, but I still have a long way to go with the IG. More of my own models coming up soon.

As always feel free to leave me a comment, I like getting feedback.

Blood Moon Tribe: 2500 points

I am not big on posting lists because I mainly play for fun. I am considering going to the Alamo GT this year if I can swing it so I thought I would throw my list I have been playing around with out there and get a few opinions.

The Alamo GT is usually not super competitive so I am trying to build a list that is not boring for my opponent but not ultra refined/competitive and I just want to play goblins.

So please just keep that in mind while you review the list. I am willing to take useful critique and such as long as it is to make the list better for what it is, not ultra-competitive. I have played with this list a few times and so far I have more wins then losses so I am happy with it but I still wanted to get some opinions.

Dark Angels: Planning the Army.

Well yesterday I announced that I was officially starting to collect a Dark Angels army. Well today I have been playing around with the type of army I wanted to build so that I could start planning my collection list.

Well I know that I don't want to do a specialized list like the Death Wing or the Raven Wing. With that said I really want want an all purpose army that can incorporate any unit from the codex.

So here is my initial concept. I am going to collect the entire 4th company, with no other reason than I like their heraldry. This means I will need some command guys as well as 6 Tactical Squads, 2 Assault Squads, 2 Devastator Squads, Rhinos and 2 Dreads.

Next up I will want some Death Wing so I am thinking 20 or so Terminators in various degrees of kit. I am not sure about doing Master Belial and a command squad, but I can always add later if I want him.

I will want Raven Wing and I am thinking 2 full squads and then a few support speeders. Again I am not sure Master Sammael but I can always pick him up later also. I will add in 10 Scouts just to have them and then a few heavy vehicles.

So that is the plan, next time I am going to post my model list and then start updating it like I did with my Imperial Fists. Any comments or suggestion from you Dark Angels players out there is greatly appreciated.

Next Project: Dark Angels

Well about two years ago I started collecting my 3rd Chapter of Space Marines, Imperial Fists. In that time I now have almost enough models to make the entire 3rd Company.

Now it is time to start collecting for my 4th and Final Space Marine Chapter I want to collect. The Dark Angels. I plan on doing them much like I did the Fists, just slowly picking up pieces through trading and when I have the extra cash.

So far I have managed a small collection to include Forge World Dark Angels Dreadnought. Both of the styles of Captains, Interrogator Chaplain in Terminator Armor, Librarian, Two Death Watch Terminators and 3 Veteran Sgts. Not a bad start so far. I will post more in the future as I start this new army!

Project Update: IG, Chaos, Templars

Well this past couple days have seen a painting frenzy from me. I managed to work on two separate commissions as well as as a couple of my own models. First up is High Marshal Helbrecht. I also painted a Neophyte Standard bearer but I didn't take a pic, though I will make sure one gets posted to the army page.

Next up is the 1st Platoon, 2nd Squad, for his Imperial Guard army I am painting. Company Command as well as Platoon Command are almost finished and should make the next post on projects.

Next up are some of the Choas models I have been working on for a large Chaos Project. I am down to 5 Possessed Models and that will finish that commission. First is a Tzeentch Sorcerer Lord

Next up is a squad of 10 Chaos Terminators!

and last but not least is a couple of Obliterators.

Well those are the models I have completed over the last few days. Please feel free to drop me a comment and let me know what you think.

Black Templars Vs. Dark Eldar 1500 points

Today my buddy Scott wanted to try out his newly purchased Dark Eldar force. I hadn't played 40K in awhile and my Black Templars in even longer so I was more than willing to give it a go.

The battle was Annilation with the Spearhead deployment. Scott got first turn and I failed to seize initiative. I knew I needed to survive the first round and get lucky with my Drop pod reserves or this was going to be a long day. I managed to make it through the first round and even did well in my phase, losing only 3 Assault marines compared to his loss of 6 Scourges and a unit of Warriors and a loss of his Dark Lance off of his raider.

Unfortunately my luck didn't hold up as neither drop pod showed up in round 2 leaving High Marshal Helbrect and his command group and the Emperor's Champion and his Marines stuck in space and out of the battle.

Scott wasted no time capitalizing on my misfortune and with just shooting managed to finish my two small Crusade Squads sheltered in building as well as knocking oout my Land Speeder Typhoon (Melta/Heavy Flamer).

Turn 3 saw both drop pods show up for much needed support and through shooting I was able to kill off  half a unit of Wyches and half a unit of Hellions. His Succubus Tried to assault my dreadnought with a grenade but failed. I caused a wound in return, but she negated it with an invulnerable save.

Turn 4 saw Helbrect and his squad attack the remaining Wyches and Hellions, killing off the Hellions and a few more Wyches, but they held their ground. The Emperor's Champion and unit attacked the now lanceless Raider destroying it and 6 of it passengers with a nice power fist attack. The Dreadnought killed the Succubus.

Turn 5 Saw my dread dying to Ravanger fire in the rear armor and the Emperor's Champion and unit shot to pieces by the other Hellion group. Finally though Helbrect and his team finished off the Wyches, but it was too little too late the battle came to a close and I lost 8 to 7 victory points.

All in all it was a fun game and I learned I really like the new Dark Eldar, and I think Scott likes his new army as well.. Slide show below of some of the pictures I took during the game!.

As always, thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think of the report!
