Terminators for my DeathGuards!

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.

Dark Heresy: Disciples of The Dark Gods

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!

New Captain!

As I had a spare commander from the Assault on Black Reach-box, so I thought this might be a nice project: a Space Marine Captain with stormbolter, powerfist and auxiliary granadelauncher. Mounted on a base from the GW basing-kit.

A bit of paint...

The Traitor Rocket launcher team and the Heavy Bolter team.

Painting in progress as you can see...

Renegade Militia, Heavy support teams.

My Renegades need some heavy support for the battlefield. And I had some heavy weapons laying around, so why not get down to business and build some support teams!

A Heavy Bolter team. I ran out of empty bases for these two so I just placed them on some plasticard with the right measurements.

I have to say that I'm really pleased with this one. The Havoc-launcher that I had laying around makes for a real mean rocketlauncher (not as mobile as an ordinary one but cool-looking).

Renegade Militia

I did some work on the bases and gave most of these Renegades a bit of more paint.

I also started on 4 Ogryns, converted from a box of Warhammer Ogres (I've only started to paint 2 of them right now).
This "side project" is growing by the minute, and if it continues I will have to think seriously about building a "real" army out of all this...

Sneaking in the woods...

Changes!

Right now the page is under a bit of construction! I'm trying out a new template...
And I think I'm almost there! This one features a lot more layout-options than the earlier ones.

New additions under way!

First out, I have added some more paint to my Captain. I also added a nice little piece of green leaves on his head.And a shot from the side, with the servoskulls. As you can see the sword is not finished yet. And the cloak needs highlights.

The Captain will also get a command squad with a Champion and some Vets. I'm also working on a fitting Company standard.
I've also been working on some Heavy Support for the army. Some Devestators with 2 Lascannons and 2 Heavy Bolters. I'm also thinking about adding some more Marines to this squad.

Until I can get my hands on some Landspeeder Storm-kits I think the next step will be to add a close-combat-squad.

First battle! Defeat!

Finaly I had a chance to bring my Raptors to the battle. 1000 pts of Space Marines against 1000 pts of Orks. It was an all-out battle with the defeat of my beloved Raptors Chapter Space Marines. The hero of the day was my Captain who brought down more than his fair share of orks in close-combat. Close-combat was the key to the orks success, as always. All of my reinforcements came into play, made a kill, or in the case of the Devestators Lascannons two, then were cut down by assualting Orks.
Well, well, it was a fun game. And I learned lots of stuff tonight. And I'm looking forward for a rematch against the Orks!

Space Marines: 0 - Orks: 1.
