Trolls – With Machine Guns
I think it is a great idea, giving a bunch of drunk trolls machine guns.
As would be expected I've spent a lot of time since Wednesday coming up with new High Elf army lists from the new book all with the intent of re-creating my 2400pt Tournament list to make best use of the new toys.
The Grey Knights get a digital army book this month as Codex: Grey Knights is now available for iPad on pre-order.
Thought I would go ahead and post a quick WIP for the Dark Eldar army I am preparing for the 2013 OFCC 40k event this summer.
I am a big fan of Rob Baer and his company Spikey Bits and his store FTW Games.
Hi everyone, Once again I am back with another tutorial on demand.
With my invigorated passion for 40K, there comes new models! My buddy Mike recently bought me a squad of ten guardsmen models for my army. He said they were a gift but there’s a little bit of me that thinks he’s emotionally blackmailing me to keep my hobby mojo going. Well, if that’s the case, it’s bloody working! I love these guys! It’s a squad of ten Border World Rangers from Victoria Lamb miniatures . The models are brilliant but they’re posing a real challenge for me. It’s the first time I’ve working with multipart metal models, so there’s been lots of gluing arms and heads to fingers rather than torso’s etc! Now, I’d like to make it clear that this is a fault with my modeling ability and not the models, which are truly excellent. I really can't fault the detail on these guys, the molds themselves are so clean, I didn't realise they had mold lines until I'd primed the first five. They're perfectly scaled with GW plastic cadians, they're the same height, just a little slimmer, but that's perfectly acceptable as they've got bare arms and aren't sporting flak armour. Each ten man ranger pack comes with 10 legs, torsos, heads (all unique), cloaks, one piece arms and lasgun type weapons along with a good selection of pouches and bayonet
Spent some time over the last week working on the Eldar pirates that I’d built about a million years ago. They have been sitting on my painting shelves patiently ever since, but no longer! They’re built from a mix of Dark Elf corsairs and Eldar bits and incorporate some arms and weapons from waaaay back. My intention was to run them as Storm Guardians alongside an Eldar army that I’d planned but never really came to fruition. Not sure what I’ll do with them now, worst case scenario is they come in handy for some 40k:RPG campaign along the way. I’m not entirely sure what I want to do with the banner either. It needs some iconography, but I haven’t found anything I like as yet. I rather enjoyed the duality of the color scheme coupled with the way the poses turned out. From the front the models are very much purple and blue. From the rear, they’re predominantly green. I had some trouble capturing the purple color in the lightbox, so I went back to my old ‘on the table’ shots which I think show off the colors a bit better
A new faction has arrived in Gierburg: the Agitator and his mob of angry peasants, painted by Simon Bradley . The warband consists of three packs from Warlord Games ' Pike & Shotte range: Clubmen Militia (WGP-EC-48) Clubmen with Pike and Musket (WGP-EC-49) Fire and Brimstone – Rabblerousers (WGP-EC-31) With the focus on a raging mob rather than a militia I switched some of the models’ original weapons with torches and pitchforks from Warlord’s Short Weapons Pack (WGP-ARM-04) and Long Weapons Pack (WGP-ARM-03). Like all Gierburg models they stand on Fenris Games bases (25mm round DS Innsmouth Cobblestones, see here ). Simon really did an absolutely stunning job on these. Check out his blog posts and the gallery on his website Stone Cold Lead for more photos (and better ones than these too!). The agitator is speaking to the masses. In the upcoming series of mini artciles called “A Guide to the City” we will shed some light on the peasants as well as on other characters and factions of Gierburg.
Yesterday the Tau fast attack units were up for review; if you missed the review you can find it here:
