I' in a process of figuring out who I actually am and who I want to be, and that kinda takes up all of my focus. Neither playing nor painting is really any fun at the moment, so I change my focus towards self realization through my tumblr.<br />
<br />
This is the last painting I've done for now. I did just manage to get one of them done, lacking basing before the motivation left me.<br />
<br />
<br />I hope to return to the hobby once I got things figured out. Until then!<br />

The fact that every titan made by Forge World comes with a numbered certificate proving it is authentic and the production number makes the titan models a little bit more than "juts another model from FW" I believe. The Titan Owners Club aims to get as many of these numbered titans registered with the site for people to see, and by the looks of it, it works pretty well. You can sort by legions to see different takes on the legion colours which is pretty cool.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I'll one day be featured on the Reaver as well as the Warlord list. One day. :3<br />

I faced off against Chris today and his mighty Dark Eldar with attached
"dark eldar" wraith knight. My forces mainly revolved around the
Skitarii taking up the bulk of the points, but also my House Taranis
knight warden and a allied detachment of guardsmen from the 501st to bring up the
numbers. The point limit for the battle was 1250 pts. <br />

This was my first time playing Skitarii and I feel I did not play them optimal at all. I had a lot of problems getting them within range, especially the vanguards that spent most of the battle loitering around mid field not really in range of anything. They did however gain me a victory point (playing maelstrom) when the brave Alpha, the last one alive in the squad by turn 5, charged in against the dark eldar just disembarked from a wrecked skimmer, dying by overwatch gaining me the "Survival is nothing, Data is all" objective.<br />

The knight was the main motor behind my forces this match (it usually is, but especially this time), evening out for my poor play of the Skitarii. In turn 1, it failed its charge against the wraith knight due to poor rolls, ending up being charged by it instead. The wraith knight rolled poorly on his attacks, hitting only once taking 1 HP off the knight even with a destroyer CCW. The knight in return hit on all 3 attacks resulting in a total of 8 wounds from the destroyer table, killing the wraith knight. My knight then moved on to taking out 2 skimmers full of dark lances, shooting at infantry and pretty much whatever it got n sight, effectively clearing the left flank of the table. With the avenger gatling cannon, it even managed to kill Chris' Archon, <i>Ozzy </i>even with a invul save of 2+. Got to love that gun.<br />

My warlord, <i>Ferrodir 4-Gyros </i>was providing covering fire from one of the buildings for most of the battle. With 30" range on the galvanic rifles and 60" of the arquebuses they were one of the few units in my army that actually had range to hit stuff from turn 1. They delivered some devastating fire early game, but by that marked themselves as a hot target and drained a lot of fire. By the end of the battle, <i>Ferrodir 4-Gyros</i> was the only one left standing, denying the dark eldar slay the warlord.<br />

As for the ruststalkers and the dragoon they came by far the worst out, not able to deliver any damage at all during the cause of the battle. The dragoon took fire from 3 dark lances turn 1 so little I could do about that, but the ruststalkers I could have played better. I even had them in charge range at one point, but forgot charging them due to all attention being caught up by the amazing things happening around the knight. Dunestrider really helps by adding 3" to any movement, but they took a lot of fire on their way across the board. I'm not quite sure how to play them as there rarely is enough cover to prevent losses until the close combat. <br />

Overall a good and even match. The facing off of the knight and wraith knight was kind of a game turner and we both know the result of their engagement would be defining for the battle. This time the dices was in my favour, and like I said earlier on, the knight carried the army the rest of the battle. No doubt I'm going to keep playing Skitarii, there is not much to not like about them, from gear, to the models to the fluff, but they remain semi-expensive glass cannons. Once I learn to tackle that, I think I'll be able to put them to better use.<br />

With line breaker, slay the war lord and a bunch of objective, the battle ended 9 - 6 in my favour at turn 6. I played the Skitarii deck and got some of the fun new cards keeping in line with the Skitarii fluff. Until the last turn with line breaker, the score was never more than 1-2 points in difference so I'd say it was a even match. <br />
<br />
With the victory on Nest, I captured one sector on the planet from Chris and due to my Relentless Assault campaign rule claimed yet another sector on Tresium. Truly a glorious day for the Imperium and for Omnissiah!<br />
<br />
EDIT: As a friend of mine pointed out, I forgot all about the scout move granted by the Sktarii Maniple. That extra 6" would have meant a lot for the vanguard and ruststalkers. I'll make a not of the until next time. <br />

With this last addition, my Skitarii forces numbers 10 vanguards, 10 rangers, 5 ruststalkers and one dragoon, enough to field on their own without having to bring the knight. I have not yet started on the "start collecting" box, but next up is going to be Cult Mechanicus, taking a break from painting Skitarii now.<br />
<br />
One year has passed since I created this blog and I got to say I am rather proud of myself for keeping it alive through the whole year, even with no more than a post or 2 per month. 40K is a time consuming hobby and during stressful periods, you just got so much time to spend. Here is to another year active on the blog, improvements in painting and more winning.... I hope :) The upcoming new AM codex and a combined AdMech are reasons for excitement, and along with the new codexes, hopefully some new units as well. <br />
<br />
With my rather long Christmas holiday drawing to an end I have tried to get as much painting done as possible. This is the result of the last painting frenzy:<br />

Also, be especially careful not to break the antenna and various cables hanging out, I might have done that. (Ooops)<br />

The ever growing forces of the Red Planet. Omnissiah be praised!

Today I'm assembling my custom Kataphron Breachers and Destroyers from the original GW kit and FW Vorax Battle-Automatas.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c9eMXoiujUQ/VpFQ1yobMdI/AAAAAAAAAfo/q0ocov0508U/s1600/IMG_0542.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c9eMXoiujUQ/VpFQ1yobMdI/AAAAAAAAAfo/q0ocov0508U/s640/IMG_0542.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
I really can't find myself to take the tracked servitor models seriously, and no way I am going to field them looking like that. The search for proxy models landed on the Vorax which looks beyond awesome. Too bad battle-automatas is a lost technology from the years of 30K to 40K, so<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">[DISCLAIMER]: </span><br />
<br />
<i>My custom Kataphron are in reality servitors hard wired in to to robot bodies, not automatons. </i><i><i>Like the original </i></i><i><i><i>Kataphron</i>, they</i> living and breathing in agonizing pain just like Omnissiah intended. </i><br />
<br />
Now with that out of the way, here are the result:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EpQIIe1ZXhI/VpFQ1ygYrNI/AAAAAAAAAfs/fsFJiigiPs0/s1600/IMG_0544.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EpQIIe1ZXhI/VpFQ1ygYrNI/AAAAAAAAAfs/fsFJiigiPs0/s640/IMG_0544.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
Kataphron Breachers with heavy arc rifle and arc claw. Om nom nom vehicles. Added a few bits and pieces to try make the look more armoured than the Destroyers given the difference in armour save.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kataphron Destroyers with plasma culverin and phosphor blaster. Less armoured, but more ranged damage output. Heavy infantry beware!<br />
<br />

Also, picked up this little bundle today. More Skitarii incoming! :D <br />

More to come as I still got a lot of models to paint and I'm picking up the "Start Collecting" box tomorrow for the formation and a even longer backlog of unpainted miniatures. :D <br />
<br />

<br />
The painting scheme is based upon the Mars scheme presented in White Dwarf #61 but with a tad darked red tones to match the rest of my Imperial forces. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The plan is to field Vanguards and Rangers at a ratio 2:1. Got to love the rad poisoning rule. Also, did I mention the Skitarii infantry is the most detailed models I've ever painted? Feels like an eternity just to paint 5 of them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GDnWof0a5RU/Vo_ogxT-yuI/AAAAAAAAAfA/bWfsKFOW8qc/s1600/IMG_0538.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GDnWof0a5RU/Vo_ogxT-yuI/AAAAAAAAAfA/bWfsKFOW8qc/s640/IMG_0538.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The rangers are cheap for a precise 30" "sniper", but offer little more than the precision shot rule, Hence why I'll focus more on the vanguards. <br />

Wasp stripe pattern on the cables are fun, but wish I was able to get them thinner. More practice needed!

With 10 daemonettes and a daemon princess, I am still 10 daemonettes short of a playable army but I'm getting there. This first batch was a test run of the colour scheme and basing technique, both of which I think works pretty well. The "corruption spreading-basing" got potential for improvement, but as a fist try I'm satisfied. More to come, next on the list is Skitarii. <span id="goog_1849983947"></span><span id="goog_1849983948"></span><br />

Though the paint is old and faded, the newly painted slogans are bright and encourages nearby guardsmen safe in the knowledge that wherever the mutant, the heretic or the alien is hiding, Hades' cleansing flames will find them, reducing them to pious ash in a matter of seconds.<br />
<br />
Hades is, due to the old and faulty engine of the Malcador class tanks, known for showing up late wile in reserve, and for turning in early wile finally on the table. It is almost like the enemy don't like its presence. Emperor preserves!<br />

<br />
As things are not going well for the Imperial faction, a new commander have been brought in to oversee and lead the 501st Foreign Legion. To make sure the force stay on the righteous path, true to the Emperor, the Commissariat found it necessary to oversee the campaign personally. <br />
<br />
Introducing Lord Commissar Maxine Fabii<br />

<br />
Following the Mothballed crisis mission (of which we lost badly), each warlord taking part (I was using a proxy for Maxine as she was not painted up yet) got to choose one fixed warlord trait that stick to the character. As the imperial seam to lack any strategic plan to date, it was fitting choosing the Grand Strategist trait from the AM codex. Let's turn this ship around!<br />

<br />
I've had these 3 standing on the shelve for an eternity and it was about time they got some proper colours. They are all second hand so not the best of assembly jobs all over but good enough for a cheap tank you aim at having lots of.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I focused quite a bit on weathered camouflage and got to say I like the result a lot better than factory crisp colour. Ought have to re-paint all my tanks now using this technique.<br />

<br />
Finding the balance of what is realistic and what is too much is hard when it comes to mud and dirt. I got a large picture book of WWI pictures I use as a reference, imagining my regiment fight on a distant planet with similar climate as the wet winter months of 1916/1917 France. I also tried to simulate sot forming around the exhaust vents but I guess I'm not right "there" yet with that effect.<br />

<br />
The battle was relentless, the marines came hammering down, having brought with them more artillery than you usually see in a whole battle sector
to this one battle. The engagement started with drop pods raining from
the skies, releasing squadrons armed with flamer weaponry taking out
about a third of the sentinels manpower before they could fire a single
shot. The drop pods was also accompanied by land speeders on the flank
engaging on the single chimera. The drop infantry was eventually driven
off, but at terrible expense. Both the drop pods, still loaded with fuel
and ammunition blew up with maximum effect taking out even more of the
defenders. The sentries had held the line for the initial assault, but
there were more to come.<br />
<br />
Reserves finally made it on to
the battle field, but to little avail. The marines' anti air weaponry
picked the loyalist birds out of the skies one by one before they could
do any real damage. The valkyrie managed to disembark the grenadiers
before going down, reinforcing the breaking flank. The grenadiers were
then in turn countered by yet another drop pod with 2 tactical squads,
taking out the grenadiers and most of the remaining forces on the flank.
With the artillery pounding again and again the air field strong point,
ignoring the covers saves guardsmen cling on to stay alive, the
garrisoning forces of once 90 strong, only remnants were left. Even the mighty knight fell victim to the pounding artillery and was finished off by a rouge gunship. The Adeptus Mechanicus will not take this lightly. Emilia
Faust too were severely wounded to the continuous shelling and only
barely made it off the field with the help of a platoon commander, the
only living member left of the platoon. In the end the enemy forces did
not manage to take out the control tower, but having sustained severe
losses and failed to prevent the enemy in taking tactical important
objectives, there was nothing left to do but to fall back and regroup in
the adjacent sector.</div>

<br />
The battle ended 17 - 8 in favour of the Blood Angles. <br />

Lacking in game board and scenery (tiny apartment is tiny) I had to make the best of it with photoshop. Spent quite some time highlighting and shaddowing the Marauder as is dominates the image. Not sure if I went overboard with the engine trails, but this is how I imagine they would look like in action. Incredible powerful engines spewing out ashes and death as they roam the skies. <br />

<br />
The unofficial recognized nickname of the 7th company is somewhat a inside joke of the 501st. While the rest of the army is usually deployed in cohesion, be it at home training or when being called upon to take part in the never ending grind, the 7th company are the unlucky ones being sent away on separate minor, often less glorious assignments requiring only minor manpower. Hence the name “Foreign Legion”. The assignments in question tend to either end up being incredibly long, boring and uneventful, or a complete loss of the company. Often with no details of what happened. This is why the company operate with a timeout protocol. If they miss their scheduled check dates for a set number of times, the company will be assumed lost and a new 7th drafted from the other companies of the 501st.<br />
<br />
With assignments rating from bad to terrible, manny a officer pass on the chance of leading the 7th if they have the chance to say no. This is why the responsibility often falls upon younger officers with little choice but accepting. As is the case of Emilia Faust, commander of the 7th company at the current time. Losing both her parents only months after birth to unexplainable events, Emilia grew up being told her family carries a curse. Haunted by bad luck her entire career (accounting for her entire life, being a army orphant), Emilia have been bypassed by younger, less experienced officers times and times again. The time finally came where the brass would look bad for holding her back, so with great reluctance, the officer of bad luck finally got promoted to her first company command… and sent as far away from the main force as possible within the strict assignment regulations of the Militarum.<br />
<br />
Sitting amid a nebula of various gasses, the planet Nolan XVII suffer decay quickly to anything not routinely maintained. The once great infrastructure network of highways, train lines and conveyor belts now lie in rusty ruins, bits and pieces, next to non-existing. The remaining population live in communities somewhat isolated from one another, relying on airborne and off-planet means for communication. But as it is with isolated communities, lack of contact and control easily end up out of hand. The population on the planet generally suffers a higher unrest ratio than most imperial worlds, and uprisings are common. With the PDF lacking the means of keeping things under control, the system sent a plea to the Militarum for help. So was it the “Foreign Legion” ended up being deployed to the decommissioned forgeworld of Nolan XVII. <br />

In a joint effort with the mixed-aircraft 1305th tactical wing, the responsibility of the task force is twofold: To launch airborne assaults on revolting settlements and garrison strategic sites across the planet. With the absence of ground infrastructure, the wilderness have reclaimed the lands in between the scattered settlements. The task force therefore rely heavily on airborne troops and air superiority to fulfil its duty rather than lumbering tanks and vehicles. <br />
<br />
Recently, for no apparent reason given, the task force was transferred under inquisitorial control. Strangely, no order was given to move off planet nor change of objectives. Could it be that something triggering the inquisitions interest is happening or about to happen in this very system? Tomorrow is going to be a routine day. The force is to engage a group of unidentified targets crossing a restricted area north-east of the generatorum. Probably just another group of looters.

Now the models I got is second hand and by initial inspection it was clear the first layer of paint were just covered up with another layer of spray. I lack the chemicals to strip them down entirely so there is some loss of detail due to the thick layers, especially some of the faces. The first owner obviously did not know about the secret of watering down the paint.<br />

I've never really graded skin tones before to any degree beyond washing so this was a first attempt at the 3-step method of the Citadel painting system for skin tones. Looks a lot better than just a basing layer and wash.<br />

<br />
Been a lazy summer so far with not much 40K so here comes a post about my knight!<br />
<br />
<b>Scroll down for pics of the result :) </b><br />
<br />
I've been working on it for 5 days now and put at least a good 20 hours in to it. The project started out somewhat problematic as I was out of priming and with strike in France GW was not re-stocking any time soon. The solution, though somewhat experimental turned out good. I had about half a box of GW purity seal at hand as I don't like the result it provide. The stuff matte down the colour and remove all shine from metallic/gold/bronze paints so I have not used much of it.<br />
<br />
So here we go, purity seal as primer!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Notice how the plastic drastic change character when it is matted down. <br />

<br />
For the basing I use coarse putty with sand in it called Sandplast. Along with it I "bake" in pieces from the Citadel basing kit to get a smooth seam from the putty to the resin pieces. The gravel is also from the kit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To get a smooth base to work on I air brushed the entire model with abaddon black. With the purity seal in place the matte surface picks up the paint pretty quick.<br />
<br />
For the metal parts I loosly used the Citadel Painting System as illustrated in White Dwarf issue 5 2014.<br />
<br />
<br />
All the metal parts were based with leadbleacher, then layered with Ironbreaker. This was followed up by washing with Reikland Flesh to get a more worn look. I then tried to get the highlights right by dry brushing Ironbreaker but the result ended up too bright. The solution: A thin layer of abaddon black air brushed on the metal parts. <br />

With the metal in place I moved on to the carapace. Wazdakka red was first air brushed 2 layers and then brushed one additional time to get a smooth red colour. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RnjzolC1F2Q/Vaavp15oQ4I/AAAAAAAAAV4/a0-QpgAlCPk/s1600/IMG_0273.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RnjzolC1F2Q/Vaavp15oQ4I/AAAAAAAAAV4/a0-QpgAlCPk/s640/IMG_0273.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The white parts were tricky and I got to say I have not quite mastered working with pure white surfaces yet. I know most don't paint up to pure white instead leaving it on off-white or egg shell but with the paint at hand this was not an option. What feels like 40 layers later (ok, just 9) the colour was in place. The black on the other hand was in place with 2 layers. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zscxbVqEtbo/Vaavqf0qnjI/AAAAAAAAAWA/SEl71EFHrXs/s1600/IMG_0275.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zscxbVqEtbo/Vaavqf0qnjI/AAAAAAAAAWA/SEl71EFHrXs/s640/IMG_0275.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The next step was getting the carapace edges in order. As they are more ornamental than the super structure I wanted them to have a brighter shine to them. To achieve this, the edges were based with leadblecher, layered with ironbreaker and finnished up with a thin layer of badab black wash.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VOx1x1V7kYA/Vaavql_EEzI/AAAAAAAAAWI/niyeiGHXfwQ/s1600/IMG_0277.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VOx1x1V7kYA/Vaavql_EEzI/AAAAAAAAAWI/niyeiGHXfwQ/s640/IMG_0277.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
With the carapace in place and all the mess touched up, the detail painting resumed. After the detailing, the base was painted and at last the transfers were added.<br />

This will be my first step by step painting post so we'll see how it goes. I do not claim to be a pro-painter in any way, so this is more for documentation purpose than a "how to". <br />
<br />
A friend of mine got me on the hype train for Necromudia a little wile ago. I have assembled a starting gang with 7 members from random models and parts lying about, but have not gotten to paint them until now. Some of the models are old 40K collectors models I have not gotten to use any place else. The only original Necromudia model in my gang is "Amy", model by same name, that I got from my friend Rick on the agreement that I'd paint her and put her to use. I do so now! :D<br />
<br />
Step 1 through 5 is all airbrush. My airbrush is entry level at best and siphon fed so not the best choice for detailed work. However it speeds up the process somewhat when applying bases. It is also worth noticing this is all done in one painting session lasting for 8 hours. Yes, you can get exhausted hands from painting, I can confirm that! <br />
<br />
<br />
My gang, "Birds of Prey" is of the House Escher and thereby all female. Here goes!<br />
<br />
<h4>
Step 1 </h4>
With the basecoat in place, I applied mechanicum standard grey to the areas of fabric and flesh, aka most of the models. <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hJUFALTDmbk/VWQ3CDX-uCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/_FKXIj8Dfqk/s1600/IMG_0223.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hJUFALTDmbk/VWQ3CDX-uCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/_FKXIj8Dfqk/s400/IMG_0223.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 1</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h4>
Step 2</h4>
Working my way up the tones, I applied a mix of slaanesh gray and dawnstone to the areas where the brighter colours would be located.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wUtxJEKMkqc/VWQ3CQmG3tI/AAAAAAAAAS4/vfNGYGk7zjE/s1600/IMG_0224.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wUtxJEKMkqc/VWQ3CQmG3tI/AAAAAAAAAS4/vfNGYGk7zjE/s400/IMG_0224.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 2</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h4>
Step 3</h4>
House Escher gangs often got a lot of yellow on them. The only paint in that part of the spectrum I got at hand was yriel yellow which is a tad too bright to start working with without a yellow base. I tried a few different mixed and landed on the pupkin-ish colour for the first main colour. Works great on grey and kinda makes them look like the rebel pilots in Star Wars. <.<<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 3</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h4>
Step 4</h4>
Skin is applied. I use a toned down version of Kislev Flesh which I'll add a second unmodified layer of later on.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 4</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h4>
Step 5</h4>
Paint it pink! The second main colour is quite a mix that it took serveral attempts to find.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 5</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h4>
Step 6 </h4>
Black, like a moonless night. Weapons and details are based black again after the airbrush rampage is over.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 6</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h4>
Step 7</h4>
First round of detailing. How I love using purple colours so strictly forbidden to the forces of the Imperium. <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 7</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h4>
Step 8 </h4>
Second layer to the skin, more details and general clean-up.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 8</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h4>
Step 9</h4>
To add 10 points of grimdark to the models, remember to apply a lot of washes and shades. Also got their names on the bases! :)<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 9</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<h4>
Step 10</h4>
Based and fixated, done and done! Even gave the eyes a try this time. Still struggling getting them right, but at least this is a step in the right direction.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
With the bastion done I'll finally be able to field the minimum requirement for a Imperial Strongpoint! The strongpoint is for what is is worth the cheapest way to include several fortifications for a single slot and hence fielding a single detachment. No more fielding additional redundant detachments to get that 2nd quad gun. :) <br />
<br />
Really satisfied with the concrete paint job, too bad I get to paint that so rarely.<br />

Yeeees, there might be a little knight loitering around in the background, I'll get to that eventually... after the Skitarii.... and the Slaanesh daemons... and the sisters, and guardsmen ect.

Vanguard with Radium carbines. With 3 shots from each gun the chance for rolling a few 6es per round is high triggering Rad poisoning delivering 2 wounds regardless of toughness.<br />

Rangers with galvanic rifles and AT special weapons. The rangers are a sniper squad with 30" range and all of them armed with the basic weapon, galvanic rifle, got precise shot!<br />

I went with Runestalkers for my first elite choice. They can't infiltrate like the Sicarian Infiltrators, but I plan on keeping them close at hand guarding my more squishy rangers and Imperial guardsmen in general. They are also cheaper than the infiltrators and is a pure close combat squad. Armed with 2 transonic blades these guys hit with strength 5 and 4 attacks on the charge. Being transonic weapons, from turn 2 of close combat and on turn 1 when rolling 6es they hit with AP2 as well. Sweet!<br />

Also, got a techpriest engineseer body from my friend Rick (<a href="http://boltcatchers.blogspot.no/">http://boltcatchers.blogspot.no</a>/)
that needed some improvising to complete the miniature. The power axe
looks a little shabby, hopefully I can fix that when painting. Made out
of spare parts from the Sicarian kit and tempestus parts. <br />

Also, got a match tomorrow, 6K per team, 2K per player. Too bad my Skitarii forces are not done yet, would love to bring them as allies to guard the titan (like fluff say they do). <br />
<br />
Hopefully none from the other teams sees this post until tomorrow. :P<br />

First up was the Sydonian Dragoon, of which I got one model. Quite steep cost for a 45 pts model, but I be damned it's a cool kit. Here are some pictures!<br />

The walker looks quite similar to a motor cycle... with legs. :D I've seen pictures of the model earlier on, but it wasn't until I got to build it that the resemblance struck me. <br />

Sister superior and relic bearer for Adepta Sororitas. Together with the other sister superior I got to paint, it will be good to be able to field 4 smaller squads instead of 2 squads with 12 sisters. Also, krieg-ish commissar with laspistol, got to convert that to a bolt-tingy. Big + for awesome bases! <br />

With 2350 visitors (mostly in cosplay :D ) it was overall a fun event. In addition to the exhibition we had wargaming demos, RP-101 and miniature hobby clubs there to spread the good word. With increased focus on roleplay and miniatures/waraming this year,
hopefully we managed to recruit quite a few people to the hobby! :)Kaikaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01007840941732504793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020522261316316468.post-83757094624719047592015-03-27T00:23:00.001+01:002015-05-01T19:17:36.145+02:00Kill Team 1.0Played quite a few Kill Team battles a wile back at the a<span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">nnual meeting of Apocrypha.

Had to strip the daemonettes using nail polish remover but the seekers were in shelve condition. Think I got about enough stuff for a 1500 pts list now when I eventually get to paint them, hopefully before the new Skitarii codex comes out, I got big plans for them as well. :)<br />
