Another fun time update....I have done some stuff!!

Ok so epic update, i started building more stormvermin and currently have 3 diaromma bases completed...looking to make the last two in the coming days....as well as having a total of 4 storm vermin built...which for those counting at home means i have a total of 16models in my stormvermin unit....whoop whoop!!

Also, I know Wes can't see this yet, but oh my god he has given me an amazing idea for my 40k without a 40k model....we identified mobility is a problem and delivering my key units...so i am going to be making blimps to count as stormraven....and for the DCA just using the Dark Elf models with cut off ears and using liquid green stuff to make masks and such

Pictures to follow and come shortly.....

40k Army without a 40K model....Update

So got into painting the models this weekend, between playing a couple of games.

Started to look at the expansion and how i could make this foot based list a bit more deadly....as having units running across the battlefield sucks balls, they get shot and die.....

SO, started to think about Nemesis Dreadknights (and was thinking the empire giant kit)

Death Cult Assassins - Dark Elf Corsairs (2 x HW)

Grey Knight Grand Master - DEMIGRIPH KNIGHT!!!!!

Interceptors - Knights on Horseback

Purifiers - Swordmasters (cse of the slightly heavier armor, it allows me to model them as Power Armor)


Still messing with the ideas alot, dont want to really go to Grey Knights wanna stick with inquistion and assassins, but strugglnig to see how it could be expanded.

Any ideas, greatly welcome!
 

40k without a 40k model - picture update

Started working on the empire today after a rough couple of days at work and the alike....

So without a due the built models:

Daemonhost (flagellent in stocks):

Banisher with Eviserator (State Trooper with Massive Sword):

Crusader (State Trooper, Sword and Board):

Bank Holiday Preparation - Building Fest

Right, so with Bank Holiday Monday coming I have decided that it is time to start prepping for a massive building fest, and then spraying white and yellow (40k without a 40k model update)....

So getting there with decisions a bit more as well as acquiring the necessary models...the thing that is still elluding me is the DCA....everything else is covered, i now feel that I will have to branch out of the empire range slightly to achieve my goal, but there was always going to have to be sacrifices....

I have also been thinking about, how can i make this into a bad ass guard army and differentiate between guardsmen and veterans....and it finally hit me (not actually) but I have decided to use the Militia boxed set with some crossbows as my core models for this....As for flamers i am thinking flagellents with fire, grenade launchers are still going to be blunderbusses, melta guns are handguns (expect to see a fair few special weapon squads), repeater handguns as plasma guns.......for the heavy weapons (this is where it gets expensive).....

Mortar = Empire Mortar Kit
Autocannon = Cannon Kit
Heavy Bolter = Hellblaster Gun
Missile Launcher = Hellblaster volley launcher thingy

This will effectively be an all infantry list and will probably be the death of me, but meh i am enjoying the prospect of playing 6th edition with fantasy models.....lol

On a more green front, the final box of grey knights has been purchased meaning i can make the final strike squad for the core of the army....I am now considering looking at using all the grey knight bits I have acquired to make sternguard/command squad/vanguard veterans.....OR and this is the big OR = pre-heresy thousand sons/word bearers...

I think with all the open books and scribing that they would make better word bearers, meaning that the first 'test' model I will be making Kor Phareon and an Erebus model to lead the army (Termi Lord with LC and MoK, Lord with DW no Mark possibly).....backing them up with loads of marines with scribed shoulder pads and the metal ones.....PRAISE THE DARK LORDS I LOVE CHAOS!!!!

On a slightly fantasy note, skaven are being built and the stormvermin pics should be up by the end of the bank holiday (as long as i dont get side tracked with my airbrush and empire).


That is all....now bugger off!
