Planning a New Gaming Table
The starting point for a new gaming table is imaged below.
The field for this weekends Horned Gobbo Tournament in Wellington is one of the biggest for one of Pete Dunns events for a few years with 30 players confirmed.
Necons are up on Advance Order from Games Workshop . I have to say that these are some VERY impressive models and I hope to see a bunch of them on the table.
I’ve been meaning for a while now to write a little post sticking up for Jervis Johnson.
Unfortunately the Thousand Sons didn’t sell as a complete army, which isn’t totally surprising – it’s tough to drop the cash for an entire army all at once. That said, I’ve broken the army up into individual units and some smal lots (that logically fit together in their own battlefoam trays). Link to Auctions On other Heresy-era fronts, I worked on a couple test bits for the World Eater Terminators – the torsos are still winging their way from Russia, but the legs and arms will be coming from the loyalist Assault Terminator kit. I’m going to be utilizing only the legs with the full greave (as opposed to the ones with the separate knee pad), and adding some rivets that I picked up from the Tichy Train Group . These are .050″ diameter, and seemed to be just about right. I’m also planning to have the Terminators armed with big Chain Axes which will be counts-as Lightning Claws (I figure the huge axe could force a failed to-wound reroll!) The regular troopers will have the singe axehead style army and the sergeant will get the double bladed version to help him stand out in the unit. Another set of models originally built for the Thousand Sons has been re-purposed for the World Eaters, in the form of the Dreadclaw-inspired Drop Pods. I cleaned them up and gave them a re-primer and started blocking in the colors. Unlike the previous Land Raiders on which I had some fairly patchy results, I’m going to re-basecoat anything that is going to be blue in black first. The Drop Pods are going to have a fair bit of weathering done to them, going to try out some of the heat scorching ideas I’ve gleaned from around the blogosphere.
Even GW can’t ignore Praetorian IG when they’re this well painted, James Brown painted this awesome Standard Bearer and took home the Bronze Golden Demon for 40k Single Miniature at Games Day Austrailia back in 2010. I’ve never seen it before on the GW site, but now I have I had to share! Thanks to Zemlod on Warseer for pointing this one out!
Here’s a new 40K tournament mission I’ve worked up. As always looking for feedback. Divide & Conquer Missions Primary (15pts) – Divide & Conquer (see below). Secondary (10pts) – Kill points. Tertiary (5pts) – Hold more objectives with scoring units. … Continue reading →
