Lots more Jetbikes today
A & B Squadrons of the 9th Company 95th Hrin Mechanised


Captain Falco Veriens of the 9th Company 95th Hrin Mechanised

& to finish of the complete company

Here's the Regimental formation. I still haven't decided whether to se SEM or Brigade Vehicles for the GEV's

95th Hrin Mechanized
COMMANDER Colonel Arminius Hextersis
DOCTRINE Mechanized Reconnaissance
FORMATION
1 Command
5 Armour Companies
5 Mechanized Companies
10 Cavalry Companies
5 Logistics Company
BACKGROUND
The 95th is a specialised Reconnaissance Regiment designed to operate in close support of other Hrin assets. Unusually for an Imperial Guard regiment the 95th consists primarily of Ground Effect Vehicles lower tech than the far more common skimmers they still provide greater mobility than more conventional armour.

As well as all the Jetbikes I've got Breacher B vehicle of 3rd Company 231st Hrin Infantry and is a Trouble Maker Games Wellingtonian I'm counting as a Gorgon as Crassus don't yet have rules in Net Epic.

E Platoon of the 28th Company of the 232nd Hrin

Scotia Samil 100's again I chose them as they had a not too futuristic not too recognisable look.

I've also got something done for After the Cataclysm

Necromancer on Mammoth I'm still cogitating about what to do next for it. I'd quite like to start my next 6mm army but can't justify it until the infantry has been acquired for my Imperial Guard. I am currently quite close to finishing both the Undead and Humans however so another force may be on the cards relatively soon

Nice gorgon stand-in there. And quality e-bay haul too, every now and then I go looking for warhounds and always decide the ones available are too expensive. Look forward to seeing what you eventually do with all those

6 are currently assembled as part of a Chaos Titan Legion. I've got enough now for a Reaver and Warlord for each god and am hmming and hahing about creating a Warlord Battle Group for each God. My Chaos Army I literally consider as worshippers or oath bound of The Truth Bringers a Chaos
Titan Legion this'll require a lot of Titans. I'll also add Titans in better nick to my Imperial Forces. Ebays odd with prices either everythings really cheap or it's all expensive and currently Epic seems to be on a cheap swing.

Well you wanted to see what I'd do with Warhounds


Nurgle & Tzeentch Warhounds based upon the Epic UK Armageddon lists. The Tzeentch critters use toy parts as I had 2 pairs of legs spare and I wanted to use the ray gun and this was simplest.

This weekend didn't see much painting at all as I was up in Yorkshire at a Hog Roast with the family and at Triples. Triples was arguably less good than last year GZG deciding not to bring their 6mm stuff was a disappointment that saved me money. I did however get some Infantry from Dark Realm Miniatures some Industrial Infantry to give me a Skitarii company when combined with the Troublemaker Games stuff and a company of Jungle Infantry to give me some none Hrin Guard elements and variety in painting. I also picked up some 40x10mm bases as the 40x15mm bases I'd got were too big.

Unfortunately as you can see they are too small GW seem to have made 12mm bases. Hmmmppphhh. Which do you think is more gamey for bases too small or too big?

The big expense though was Dropzone Commander. I had a demo game which was good not great but it was a perfectly reasonable game. Similar mechanics to Epic 2nd Ed. The models however I've been drooling over since they realised them and I've finally given in. The show had 5 packs for the price of 4 and I brought 10 packs 3 Shaltari Walkers, 6 Scourge Fighters, 2 Scourge Gunships, 3 of the medium Scourge walkers and 16 of the little ones.........The 3 Shaltari Walkers are about Reaver size while the medium Scourge Walkers are earmarked as Quaestor Titans the variant will make excellent Subjugators and is next on my list. The Prowlers are earmarked as Slaanesh knights.......

And just the sort of thing I wanted to see

Great use of the warhounds, and the bits you used on the tzeentchian critters work really well.

As a non-gamer I'll pass on the base question.......

DZC does have some lovely models - if I can fit bits into my slaaneshi 28mm I'm sure you'll find plenty of uses at 6mm

Yep simple substitutions and finding rules that match mostly harsher conversions would spoil the great lines of the models rather than improve them I feel

From left to right Minotaur, Rhino, Chaos Space Marines, Sentinel, Dropzone Commander Prowler. So maybe a little small for a Knight but excellent for Dreadnaughts and a wonderful Defiler proxy, The gun is from Brigade Models and will be used to mark out my Hell Scouges.

D Vehicle Defiant of 3rd Company 231st Hrin Infantry.


The Dropzone Commander Walkers for comparison from left to right Scourge Prowler, Warhound, Scourge Ravager, Banelord, Shaltari Ocelot. Ravager is ertainly earmarked as a Quaestor titan. The Ocelot I'm less sure about it's roughly Warlord in size but a bit gracile I'm wondering Reaver although my own datasheet is possible.

Prowler fits the bill for a defiler.

Ravager should make a good Quaestor, playing with the bits myself at the moment, albeit for a different scale

Going to have to pick up an Ocelot, those legs will be useful.

For leg parts any of the big Shaltari walkers will do I'd go on which gun looks most useful and the Ocelot does have a gorgeous techno Heavy Artillery Laser with rather a Slaanesh vibe.

Biker special here so we'll start with the flyer sale shots.


From left to right Fighta Bomma, Scourge Corsair, Spitefire, Scourge Reaver

And now for the bikers

Captain Mercutio

Commissar Tybalt

A Platoon

Their complete company 14th Company 95th Hrin Mechanized

As well as that Lord Aon Kul and his biker retinue

Been playing After the Cataclysm with myself this weekend. Made 2 sets of generic numbered bases 1,2,3,4,5, then 4 each of 6,7,8,9 & 10 1set labelled in Red the other Green for proxy duties. Humans beat the Undead in the first game. Highpoint was the Abomination bringing the building down but the human infantry garrisoning it killing him. Also an excellently judged flank charge by the Human cavalry along with poor choice of orders for the Mammoth mounted Mage and the Infantry which hogged all the Dark Shadow tokens and didn't spend any of them led to a Human win. Then Beastkin versus the Centaur Herd with the Heavily Armoured Centaurs gradually grinding down the Beastkin in Close Combat. Then the Dwarven Host took on the Elven Resurgency. The stalwart Dwarves managed to drive of and break the Elven Cavalry which allowed them to be shot to death and then easily saw of the infantry. The elven Lord was the only survivor he spent several turns being shot at by the Volley Gun surviving due to his ridiculously high resilience and then killed it after taking 4 rounds of fire (80 dice 3+ to hit, 6's and 4's to wound special Magic Armour 3+ save so Lord Fancypants was bloody lucky. Finally the Lizardmen took on the Orcs and Goblins. The Lizards won while the Orcs did well with the basic Dynaz warriors the Goblins were easily seen in with the Zaryos (Ogre sized Lizards) having a field day. Key points learned; High Res is too easily acquired with the current lists, The armies seem relatively balanced, Play testing against yourself is useful but to catch true problems with the rules writing needs somebody else.

On another front enjoy these

Transports of B Platoon 7th Company 182nd Hrin Wardens

Deathstrikes of D Battery 16th Company 511th Hrin Artillery

Bike company are looking good... and nice to see some chaos bikes too.

Scourge reaver looks nice....probably going on my list Have you seen the 30mm scale Ares walker they've just put up for pre-order? Saw some of the 30mm stuff at Salute and was hoping they'd get a release....some of the fighters looked fantastic...... excited to see they are coming out. And the Ares may just find itself becoming a Slaaneshi dread

A Chaos Knight would work well as well. Seen some previews checked it out and £45 actually seems a reasonable price about on par with Forgeworlds offerings.

Start with the dull stuff

Command Transports for 12th Company 232nd Hrin Infantry


6mm Irregular 19thc Civilian based singularly as a hero for the Army of New Haven

The good bit the 2nd Spinefist Warhound painted up


This gives me a squadron of these guys

Heres where I was in April

Russ Company, Assault Company and Sentinel Company.

Here's where I am now

2 Russ Companys, Assault Company, almost an Artillery Company, Bike Company and Jetbike Company with a lot more Transports and Support Elements as well. I've got another Russ Company, 2 Artillery Companies, Transports for 2 Stormtrooper Companies, 2 Mechanized Companies and 2 Gorgon Companies as well as another Jetbike Company, a Skitarii company, Engineering Company, Skitarii Support, and a Death World Veteran Company to do. Mainly however I'm waiting for my large C-in-C order to enter the UK. After that I'd like to add Rocket Companies, Super Heavys and some Support Vehicles but the project is progressing nicely.

Turning into a sizeable force there. Liking the chaos warhound too - thought I'd already said that.

Cheers still

More Rawl Plug fleets by somebody else

We'll start with the Hrin forces first
A Battery 12th Company 511th Hrin Artillery

Brigade Schtorm Howitzers standing in for Medusas

A Company 28th Company 232nd Hrin Infantry

Samil 100 Tenders to be used as Field Supply vehicles

I've also got my first Corsair done



Went for a fleshy Word Bearer scheme like most of my Chaos Vehicles

Finally a Prussian Fusilier one of several I picked up at a good discount on Ebay

Corsair is, I think, your best paint job by far. Really creepy...

Cheers Mate
Got these Hypaspists done (Troublemaker Games Cybershadow Heavy Weapons)




Quick side by side shot as well


I've also done my first Leguan Bridge Layer from Scotia Grendel nice heavy duty vehicle. I wanted to make the bridge makeable and after considering complex technical methods elected to just not glue it together



I've got myself on a Masters Degree program as well it's Distance Learning and as well as that I've received a contract extension. I therefore deserve a present. While logically the new Ork codex an a few GW toys for my Orks makes most sense I flatly won't pay those prices so theres 4 things I'm considering;
6mm Fantasy (Elves and Lizardmen probably)
Super Heavy Tank fun from Exodus Wars
Dystopian Wars Prussians
Infinity

Currently the 6mm fantasy is edging into the lead.........but I'm open to comments

Congrats buddy. You can be a master of digging! You need super heavy bulldozers (speed archaeology!)

Nah this is the one where they teach me to point at things with the trowel and knowledgeably bluff that I know what I'm looking at. Bulldozers are also rubbish for speed digging, skilled 360 operator however will do the job nicely.........


Automatically Appended Next Post:

My latest batch of Slaanesh walkers to enter the fray

Made one mistake Skitarii heavy weapons are called Sagitarii apparently the basic troopers like these are the Hypaspists.

Lambda Xi Gamma Hypaspist Maniple Beta Cohort mixes both Troublemaker Games Cybershadows basic infantry and specialists and Dark Realm miniatures Industrial Infantry. Also of note is the fact that Tech Guard Infantry companies are 3 groups of 6 stands not 3 groups of 10 which means I probably have 2 companies worth. Cool.

As you can see these scale nicely with each other and also with GW
C Platoon Transports of the 24th Company 232nd Hrin Infantry are also done

Currently I'm waiting for the infantry for them.......

This critter has been painted up


The Chimera from Rapier Miniatures will add a fun allied beastie for my fantasy forces. Haven't given up on the project but it's been lacking impetus recently. Another army might help.....

Been up to Sheffield for the Joy 0f 6 and to pick up my old text books for my masters. I wandered into my FLGS Sheffield's Wargames Emporium on Saturday and was met by a delightful coincidence

My infantry had arrived Mwaaahaaaahaaaahaaaa. Next cleaning them GULP. I also won't be starting anything else for a while

The next day was the Joy of 6 were I brought some Peasants from Heroic and Ro's lovely characterful models and won a set of ancients rules in the raffle. While I missed out a test of Command Horizon which I'll do at some point I did get to try a WW1 board gamey thing and GHQ's WW2 rules neither of which will be added to my repertoire but were interesting to try and I'll try and bring After the Cataclysm next year.

Is that just a top layer of infantry with more waiting below? Lots to do

Sadly enough no. Although I like the way you think.
I've got the first units undercoated and am beavering away at flash removal as well as that these two things have been completed

Chastisement C Vehicle 3rd Company 231st Hrin Infantry


Lambda Xi Gamma Praetorian Cohort

Commissar Archybald Pit-Ryva of 2nd Company 232nd Hrin Infantry (Names were current as of the Founding Parade before Embarkation on Hrin in 42014)


While I've been focussed on beginning to get the guard infantry through in numbers I'e also got some models done for my Chaos force.


The highlight is this mighty Plague Hound Titan

The DZC thingy looks cool, I like the look of the plague hound, but feel it needs a touch more colour on it to break it up a bit.

Have you seen that Urban War are releasing a 6mm version later this year? Should be some useful stuff there.....
