The Imperium At War

My name is Richard, and i am addicted to Fowrge World

2011-07-31T12:34:00.001-04:00

So after a 23 day wait my FW order showed up along with IA 11 I picked up some models starting with a 2nd Command Culln to make myself a 2nd "Master of the Death Wing" or captain agamon of the Ultramarine 1st company

to Culln's body i added a pair of Gray Knight Terminators arms and the Chapter House Eagle Hammer and Eagle Shield witch is HUGE

I added some FW Brash etch to Flesh out the model

the shield arm was left unglued to aid in painting

OOOOwwww shiny

2011-06-28T18:31:00.000-04:00

if ever there was a better use for the space hulk libarian I don't know it

Squats need love too

2011-06-24T01:33:00.000-04:00

so this is what happens if you leave your Leamen Russ in the same hanger as a Vindicator

you get a Thunderer (that can't be a word) Siege Tank

I know the demolisher is only 5pts more but i want it to be short

just like the squats

Boren to be wild and fix stuff

2011-05-27T11:39:00.000-04:00

tech marine on bike with full servo harness

I used an old bike i had sitting around and the tech marine from the old metal command box

what you gona do when they come for you arbites arbites

2011-02-01T20:55:00.000-05:00

As anyone who has taken a good look at the witch hunters book will know there stormtroopers can ditch there hellguns in favor of shotties thus becoming Arbites

Mine here are maid out of Necromunda Enforcers i went for a lighter blue than is the norm most go for an almost black armour. the cloth is green just to tie them in with the rest of the witch hunter force giving the army a cohesive feel and read weapons to make them stand out after i was done it dawned on me that this is very much like the Crmizon Fist scheme and I'm happy with it

fist Veteran Arbite

the two flamers for those extra taste crispy rouge witches

the boom sticks

and there cruiser, who needs a car when you can take a TANK

comments are a always very welcome

Back in the hobby

2011-01-26T15:55:00.000-05:00

Hello one and all I have returned after an 6 week break from the hobby forced on my by work. I'm a retail supervisor so from the end of November until the middle of January i have no life but now I'm back and I have been busies working on this. Forgeworld Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex

My Daemon Hunter army has been getting some love ever since the conformation that the new dex is out in April I don't plan to use this guy as an Inquisitor he's just too bad ass he will be a counts ass grand master and will leas a unit of Grey Knight Terminators

It still needs a bit of work on the shields skull and the purity seals need some text. I must say I am very impressed with the job I did on the cape i think it's some of the best work I've done.

2010-11-07T17:06:00.000-05:00

I've been on a bit of a walker blitz as of late having build 3 Space Marine Dreadnoughts, 8 Imperial Guard Sentinels, still can't believe the guy gave me 10 for $75 and this chap here

he's for my AdMec army that i've been ignoring as of late since i still have NO idea what' i'm going to do for transports it is just what it looks like i jammed an ogre into a kila kan he and two more will be my war walkers

the head is just a place holder until i can get 3 of the bauld heads from the ogre box or fined another idea

so for thous of you who though i dropped the project worry not it is still alive!

I Have Awoken - Liberian Dreadnought

2010-10-13T17:13:00.000-04:00

As you can no doubt see I've maid myself a Liberian Dreadnought for my "Blue Angles" (Ultra Marines 8th company under Blood Angles rules) army, This is an easy conversion you'll need
a Venerable Dreadnought
the right DCCW from the Iron clad kit
a Marine Shoulder pad
the champ head form the Chaos Marauder horsemen kit
the bull skull head standard form the Ogres bull kit
some plastic rod

i cut down the sholder pad to and used it for the Psychic Hood i put the extra DCCW hand from the VenDread kit onto the arm from the ICD to make a "normal" right hand DCCW

the Force Weapon is a piece of plastic rod with the standers top and some random bits held in the left hand

and what Liberian would be complete without the horned skull. The skull itself is one of the crux termanatus symbols and the horns are off that marauder horsemen head

Order of the Velvet Glove

2010-09-23T20:39:00.000-04:00

Sorry for the long pause between post I went in for surgery and kinda forgot about the blog....

Moving on after 2 years and 7 test models i FINALLY found a paint schema for my sisters of battle

It was inspired by a Deathwing commander that i saw somewhere on the net so bone armor with green robes a nice contrast from each other and all my other armies

this is one of two Dominion squads in the army each armed the same 1 Sister Superior and 5 sisters 4 with melta and one ablative wound

and there transporte

i like to think they turned out well

Splinters of Locara Tournament

2010-08-30T19:54:00.001-04:00

Corry over at Game Summit is once again running a 40K campaign i missed the last one with all the crazy that was my home life last year but this time I'm in having cemented my spot in the kick off tournament i really wanted to use my xeno huntersl maid of a mix of Read Scorpion Space Marines with alied Witch hunters representing Inquisator loc and the D99 Elysans but alas

Restrictions:
1. No Special Characters.
2. No Allies.
3. No Forgeworld rules without written permission from me.

1. I use a counts as Padro Cantor to make the Sternguard i use for the Death Watch Kill Team scoring, this is a knee jerk because Corry has a problem with Vulcan lists so he bans ALL Special Characters ok I can live without Cantor
2.well the army dosn't work without them again this is a knee jerk responce to ONE power build namely the Demon hunter inquisitor with two mystics so he bans allies in general making both hunter codex much weaker
3. what the hell dose everyone have against Forge World Rules it's a response to the one or two things that are stupid

the hole thing gets my goat unlike me most people don't own 8 armys but i digress i've desided to go with my guard and in response to Corry's attempts to curb the power gamers to make a fairly power gamer esk list

2010-08-28T22:26:00.000-04:00

painting in progress

2010-08-23T15:48:00.000-04:00

it's been a rough two weeks at work so not much hobby time until today when i got some work done on the big cheese

the base is done and I'm very happy with it, his armor is 90% done just one last highlight and the rest is just basecoted

Na na na na LEADER na na na na LEADER

2010-08-09T17:46:00.000-04:00

Today for your viewing pleasure i have the Leaders of my admech force my Magos on Jetbike and my Techno Mage

The Techno Mage is the Mago from the old Skulls admech nothing converted as i refuse to take a saw to anything that hard to replace

This being a special model i tried to give it a worthy base i maid use of my 3 basing staples

cities of death buildings sections attacked with a pair of clippers
resin bits form Games Workshops many basing kits
slate bits from the above mentioned kits

this combo makes for a damed cool base

Next we have the Mago

the unholley combination of the Master of the Ravenwing on Jetbike and a Tech Marine

in the last pick you can see that rather than keep the basic legs form the MotR i took a hobby saw to the tech marine and used his legs!

The big guy on the throne

2010-08-05T20:09:00.000-04:00

Hay all i decided to toss my hat in the ring for the monthly painting competition over at the Game Summit Forum this month there doing "ANYTHING that is supose to be on a Terminator Size base.!" so I'm doing this

yes that is in fact the Immortal Emperor of Mankind it's from the Heresy Fever range one of thous "send some guy in eastern Europe £25 and hope for the best" deals they don't have a website for obvious reasons but do have a Photo Bucket Account where you can see all the awesome sculpts they've done of the Primarchs. I got the model over a year ago and even painted it once sadly it was on a wall shelf that i had left a toolbox full of models on and the hole thing hit the floor! so striped and back to the beginning. just waiting for the primer to dry and I'm off

It came form the forgeworld!!!

2010-08-05T16:59:00.000-04:00

Today i bring you my Techno Monstrosity

The inspiration for the piece came from the Inquisitor rule book there are some nice shots of a crazed combat severtor in the full color plates in the middle you know all the pages that GW took out when they published the book online

once i removed the left leg (by no means an easy ting!) some mad orc mech boy impulse took over and i grafted on the leg from a sentential int it's place the left arm i used a Forge World dreadnought arm that i had from a misspack

The lascannon from the Valkyrie along with the power pack and weird binocular things from the sentential kit make the right arm into a fearsome weapon i then finished it off with an ogrer head and the engin fron the sentential kit (there's almost as much sentential as giant in this thing!) many tech looking bits as i could glue onto it

the base is maid up of a wale section form the manafatorum kit that i viciously attacked with a pair of clippers some slate chips from one of GW's basing kits and a styrene i beam

next time my Magos

A Picture is worth 1000 words

2010-08-04T20:21:00.001-04:00

It all started with the Skitarii

The "Exarch" is a standard tech priest with his servo arm cut off and the dish form the SM vehicle frame in it's place

The Skitarii are more complex the gun is a cadian lasgun grafted onto a cadian flamer, A standard cadian body glued on top of high elf skirt i took the high elf legs off and glued on cadian boots to get rid of the puffy pants! add a back pack form the karskin box and a hooded head form the raven wing frame, a few necron arms and legs, and you have a relay cook looking warrior of the Omnisha

The army of the red planet

2010-08-04T19:39:00.000-04:00

It was about a year ago when i started this army i plan to run them as counts as Eldar. I know I know it sounds weird think about it for half an hour it starts to make sense...

so first the army list I decided at some point that my secondary armies would be built to 2500pts. Why 2500pts? it's a good number to get you all the cool toys you want even though they won't all make it to the table every time and it won't brake the bank (when compared to the 14000pts of space marines i have)
