Wyrdstone Wanderes for the cup!!

Now you need some pom-pom wielding rat-girls.....

Thanks a lot lads.
The SEM C-in-C lot also reunited my Epic muse. Heres a load of teeny tiny artillery to smite the enemies of Hrin. No Astra Militarum here.

The main thing I wanted was the Mortars to make Bombards. These are based on spare Brigade Models hulls using the SEM twin mortar.


I also treated myself to these Deathstrikes from Ebay as Deathstrikes are awesome. I'm still after a 3rd Epic40k era one if anyone has one to spare. These are the gawky elderly ones although I still like them

I've also finished these Shtorm Howitzers

B Battery 12th Company 511th Hrin Artillery parked within a compound

Went slightly mad last night treated myself to a bunch of Engineering Vehicles and Trucks for a supply echelon for my IG when I have loads of vehicles to paint and no sign of the infantry.

Just think of it as supplying your loyal followers with more goodness.....

Speaking of supplying followers with more goodness


Baron Graventroll the infamous Red Baron currently the plan is to use him as a Firelord. Cheers to Monkeytroll and Inmygravenimage for trading the parts for this monstrosity. I also managed to lose another game of Epic. Last dice roll of the game Rykk detonated my Gargant the meanie. I was being solidly defeated as his Dominatrix soaked up fire and I still didn't engage his Dactyli enough. As I know well enough the most dangerous part of his army are the Dactylis and Exocrines which I never attack enough.....Or he just passes loads of his saves

Looking good in blue

And an eloquent soubriquet too!

I didn't actually pick up on that first time round

Glad you two enjoyed it, it literally wouldn't exist without your trades.
I've got these nice quarterly army shots for the ToEG over on Tactical Command. The Army Group is currently coming on nicely although it is suffering from a shortage of Infantry.


Been thinking about Astra Militarium and deciding to ignore it. While I think the unit entry for the Taurox has some potential for my Zulus 8x8 I'm just not interested enough to justify the expense. The £15 hike in price since the last codex has stopped what was once a release month purchase fro being brought. I'd also be far more interested if they were releasing a new plastic regiment Praetorian/Mordian/Valhallan from the same sprue might be possible. The Scion kit while it seems interesting is just uncompetitive with the Eisenkern or the Corporation stuff. The Taurox hull and shape I like it looks like a Morris Quad a distinctive British WW2 vehicle but the tracks spoil it.

Pics a bit dark, but the force looks sweet...nice to see the 'egg' sentinels in force

I'll grab some Scions as there looks to be some interesting bits in there for renegades and cultists, slight chance I may get a taurox when I get back to orky stuff, if I can find one cheap And I seem to be losing my OCD about creating 'legal' forces even when I don't play...I only have the CSM codex from this edition...and off the top of my head I can't even be sure that I have the main book.......

Cheers Scions do seem to be the pick of the bunch. The Taurox well I'd probably base an Ork version on a Morris Quad Tractor kit Italeri does probably cheaper although less Grim Dark.

I've got the Command Vehicle and B Battery of the 26th Company of the 232nd Hrin. I've been playing with Epic Cavalry as well. IG bikes and Land Speeders.

Treasure has arrived!
My Troublemaker games kickstarter order has turned up the infantry are great both the Regular and Support Cybershadows are excellent and the Cyborgs are ok but not at the same standard. The vehicles are great with the Spitefire a wonderful model

I know people will want scale shots so I've put it by a Bizon and Suwalski as well as some obscure late eighties models.
This quick shot shows the scales this more than makes up for the fact that Oxford refers to everybody with more than six months digging experience.............
Meh evaluation I'm on is close to home and will go to full excavation so I'm happy enough

Of to the Nationals tomorrow............
But also received my Scotia batch.

Back row Land Raider Bizon Suwalski Rhino
Front Row Rotary Trench Excavator, Samil 100 Tender & Open, STS Crane, Samil 100 ARRV, BAT-M Engineering Vehicle, Leguan Bridge Layer

Sadly enough the order's missing 4 AT-T tractors which I'll heckle them about. The models are lovely and of reasonable quality. The Samil 100's in particular work well as heavy duty lorries. They'll require basing but'll add a fun quirk to the force

Some interesting vehicles there, should make nice additions

Quirky bunch, have fun!

Cheers I felt like having an engineers contingent as they are something you just don't get in regular 40k

Well went to the nationals had a great time and came joint 8th out off 13 entries. First game I played an Orc team who out fought me fine but then beat me in the passing game which peeved me. After that it was two close fought draws against Lizardman and Pro Elves. The next day brought a glorious victory against the Wood Elves and a crushing defeat against the Norse. Lessons learnt Blood Bowl is a fun game but shouldn't be taken seriously and teams where everybody has Block is infuriating. Next year its at De Montfort the other Leicester University and I'm highly tempted to play Dystopian Wars...........

Got a long weekend of painting over the holidays and these are the first out of the forge

Salamanders for After the Cataclysm I'd prefer something more lizard like but I had lots of these spare from Squiggoths painted to look like fire spirits might try something different if I do some more.

B Squadron 8th Company 46th Hrin Armoured are my Executioners based on the Bison with an Ork missile launcher used as a barrel.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Just won the models for a Mega Gargant Big Mob that'll be 3 of them...........

Good to hear you had fun at the tourney.

Like the bison executioners - look forward to the mega gargants.

Cheers Monkeytroll won't be until me and my full Bitz Box are reunited for them I'm afraid. Fortunately I need far less for 6mm Imperial vehicles which is what's kept me out of mischief for the moment.

These Brigade Model Suwalski's with Support Guns will be fulfilling my Chimera needs for the moment. This is A Platoon of 25th Company 232nd Hrin Infantry's Transport component by the way.

These Vanquisher Conversions are A Squad and the Command HQ for 8th Company of the 46th Hrin Armour.

In Net Epic they'll be a Leman Russ Assault Company a squadron each of Vanquishers, Conquerors and Executioners. Got lot's modelling wise done as well with a big batch of stuff undercoated for the next big push.

More artillery

C Battery of 26th Company 232nd Hrin Infantry comprising of Bombards. All the company needs to finish it off is infantry as I need the 2 command stands to finish it.


Red 12 of Red Squadron 532nd Naval Air Wing (Strike). It's a Troublemaker Games Spitefire beautiful model real pleasure to paint.

That spitefire does look like a nice model.

What's the size of the 26th now?

It certainly is. The 26th are at 2 Basilisk & 1 Bombard Squadron as well as a command vehicle which is the vehicle strength for a basic Net Epic Artillery Formation along with 2 Infantry stands to represent the HQ and the Artillery Observers

Some more goodies from a variety of regiments

A Command Vehicle from the 12th Company of the 511th Hrin Artillery

B Squadron of the 95th Hrin Mechanised

C Platoon's Transports from the 7th Company of the 182nd Hrin Wardens.

In Net Epic Stormtroopers ride around in Rhinos. The Wardens while not technically Stormtroopers are Heavily armed elite assault infantry and therefore follow the same stats and formations

Been getting a lot of painting done over the bank holiday weekend.
We'll start with the least exciting elements Brigade vehicles of types I've shown before
Transports for B platoon of the 24th Company 232nd Hrin

Thunderers for E Squadron of 23rd Company 232nd Hrin

Mildly more interesting is this Chaos Warhound but you've seen her before

C Platoon of the 28th Company are the first of the Scotia trucks I've painted up. I chose Samil 100's as these blocky heavy duty vehicles had the right feel for the guard

The Skitarii Praetorians are fairly interesting these are the Ladysmith Lambda Xi Skitarii's Epsilon Praetorian Cohort from Troublemaker games

These are my final completed lot SEM jetbikes with a converted Commissar with sprue hat


So I've finished models from 5 different manufacturers over the weekend can anybody beat that?

Err...I've primed two guys so far.....does that count

Good going dude, all looks good, and the skitarii are interesting pieces.

Just finished Red 11

Well size matters a lot and I've been able to concentrate a lot on painting lately. As well as that I batch and speed paint everything which gives me a faster rate of poorer quality progress

Sweet! Nice job, neat and tidy and a bit of a beast!

Glad you liked it. First of all the new painted stuff

B Squadron of the 14th Company of the 95th Hrin Mechanized

Hit Ebay gold as well. 2 Warlords including Banelord bits, 3 Reavers and 4 Warhounds for £30. They'll be awhile in coming as they need stripping and bits but the Truth Bringers are becoming the dominant arm of my Chaos Army. Great! These will go to the Chaos forces due to missing parts and I'd also in an ideal world like to use the new pattern titans for my Imperial force.

I'm also plotting and scheming about what to get at Triples. Current wish list is 6mm Infantry, Slaanesh scout titan base models and chaos flyers. 15mm Leviathon Mortis if it's out.
