Wellcome to PlasticFish Online!
Trying to get this page back on track!
Well, by accident I wandered onto Black Library website. It seems like Sandy Mitchell has written a second book set in the Dark Heresy framework.
Right now there are no previews to download but if this book is half as good as the first one, it's going to be glorious!
Sadly enough it won't be out until late this fall...
But since I'm reading C.S Gotos Deathwatch books right now and I'm thinking about digging in to Ravenor later on - I got some reading to do, to pass the time until "Innocence proves nothing".
Well, I finaly got to take a look on the new IG Codex. And after some quick reading my opinion is that it's a solid book for a solid army. The IG has been upgraded from being the army with a lot of minis to being a army that can dish out some real nasty stuff. The only thing that is sad to see is that Last Chancers have been substituted with Penal Legion squads. Downgraded and without the leadership of Colonel Schaeffer. On the other hand there are a lot of new additions when it comes to characters, including Straken "Ironhand" and Sly "The one-man army" Marbo. But the most important thing is the additions of vehicles to the army. Now you don't have to turn to Imperial Armour books to add some heavy stuff to your army - like the Deathstrike Missile Launcher (something that I've previously only seen in Epic).
I could go on and on all day about this, but I got better things to do, like slapping some paint on my Hellblades and on my Lesser Daemons.
A small addition but none the less. Right now he's in the "painting-in-progress-bin" on my desk
Imperial Guard Vet armed with a shotgun.
By some reason he goes under the name of "Zombie hunter", can't really remember why. Maybe I was watching some oldschool horror flick when I built him, I think it was around Halloween that I started.
Two weeks back I started scratchbuilding some airsupport for my Chaos army. Right now I'm working on two Hellblade fighters. The primary material on this one is some cardboard, a bottlecap (to hold the engine in place), some filler for all the gaps and greenstuff for the raised details (that aren't cardboard). When everything is finished the pilot and a dashboard will be fitted inside the cockpit. This build is a cross between a display-piece and some Heavy support for my Chaos army. The base will also reflect that - still need to get going on that one...
Here are some pics of the first of the two Hellblades, "The Red Baron":
Some disturbing rune-details on the (hmm) "wings":
Another Hellblade is on the way, this time in a more greenish colour and with some more gs-work on the hull. (Thinking about naming it The green Devil)
Still missing on this one: the "Baron" himself, the pilot. Well and not to forget the two twinlinked autocannons... And, well, the whole engine-package. It's a sub-assembly that's about ready for mounting, just need a coat of paint on it before I start on the details.
One of my Dreads got some paint on his new "home"(!) Since I got two Dreads for my army I'm entertaining the idea of building another drop pod. But right now I'm deep in my Chaos Hellblade project.
Last week I started some scratchbuilding projects. First of is this Dreadnought drop pod. Right now it's in the painting stages so there will be more pics later on.
The other project is a Chaos Hellblade fighter. A project that is taking more time to finish than I first planned for...
This is the latest update on my Raptor army. The HQ squad is comming along nicely. I still have the banner design to consider.
Recently I ran in to a streak of boredom. So one night I built these two Space marine Veterans and gave them a sort of "midnight ice-world" kind of look.
They are still in the painting process and far from finished.
The primary inspiration for these two are my ongoing building of my Raptors Chapter army and the fact that the Raptors use different camouflage-patterns for their armour depending on the enviroment they fight in. These two may possibly be joined by others in the future to make up a Hq squad or something.
It took me some time (well, I did build them last summer...) but now I have finaly slapped some paint on them.
Well they are not totaly finished, some details here and there, but for now I'm quite satisfied with them.
A dark day in december I finaly got my hands on this book. And I have to say that it was worth waiting for. The overall look of this book is just as good as any of the other books that Fantasy Flight has released into the game. This time around I can honestly say that this is one scary book. The structure of the book follows the three (biggest) Ordos of the Inquisition. You got your Xenos-threats, your heretics and your Daemons. And you also get a well-written scenario at the end of the book that can really put the players in a tight spot. The only drawback, as I see it is that I had hoped for some more gear, some interresting relics and some more "usefriendly" adversaries. I'm personaly not fond about stuff that say : "If it touches you - you die", well, it works in CoC but not in Dark Heresy.
This book is a must-buy for all Dark Heresy Gamemasters. I'll promise that you will find a 1001 new ways to torment your players after you read it - I did anyway!
Right now the only thing to do is to wait until "Creatures Anathema" is released!
