Project Update: IG and Space Wolves

Well I got some more updates ready for things I have been working on. First up is going to be more of Scott's Imperial Guard. The platoon command and 3 Tanks to go with what I have painted so far.

Next up are more of my Space Wolves. This time some Wolf Guard I had already painted, but I went through and updated with some damages and newer parts.

Last up is a final Wolf Guard and the personal standard for Ragnar Blackmane, the army I am building.

Well that is it for the Projects Updates today. Please feel free to let me know what you think.

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.

So without further adieu let us get onto the matter at hand as I present to you the mighty Goblin Horde of the Blood Moon Tribe!

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!
