Ah fair enough I've been more of a chaos cultist than a chaos marine player but even I'm tempted like you to get more chaos marine stuff

Hello all here is a rather interesting update just bought (well in the process of buying) £400 of imperial guard which has a lot of tanks and a ridiculous amount of older miniatures will post photos tomorrow some time

Also just to note there is another box

Hello all I've got a quick update and I warn you I'm being like a child again xD I've set a little mini "battle" (excuse the terrible proxy terrain) of some of the guardsmen I bought facing off against my renegade militia and a their new toy

The little story for it is, on cova seven the forces of the master met with stiff resistance facing off against the 578th valhallan ice warrior regiment "the dead eyes" on the outskirts of the hablocks near tovic hive city, the battles were characterised by the brutal close quarter fighting although ultimately the forces of the master were forced to retreat after 4 months of bitter fighting"

Here is what I've got (plus what guardsmen I had before) now I will say I have about 2 more platoons worth of bits and a lot of heavy weapons teams which are half built but here is the list of stuff built and ready (apart from some of my other guard as I've decided to put for example all my catachans out as I've got a ton more and so on) the list is
83 catachans with lasguns
9 catachans sergeants
17 catachan special weapons
12 catachans with vox's
3 platoon commanders with one standard bearer
3 catachans with missile launchers
Now onto the valhallan
27 men with lasguns
5 special weapons
5 holding mortar shells
3 sergeants
Now onto the veterans of the army
10 man squad of old cadian infantry with a sergeant and a flamer
9 man mordian infantry with a grenade launcher and a sergeant
With 15 old stormtroopers (using them as tempestus) with a meltagun a sergeant with a bolt pistol and another with a power sword
I then have 8 heavy bolters, 5 mortars, 6 lascannons and 2 autocannons
And 5 ratlings and 5 ogryns
As I said there is a lot more unbuilt stuff so there will be more updates in future of them (perhaps even their own blog maybe)

Carpet battles yes! the best kind of battle (watch where you step)

They are indeed I've just done about 3 or 4 more I feel like a child I think I might have to do more some time I did almost fall onto my hell hound xD

That's a lot of models. I'm jealous

It is indeed I've ran out of room xD ah damn not good dude sadly someone I know is also jealous i'm going to have to make sure he doesn't get his orkish hands on me loot xD

Hello all sorry I've been fairly busy working so I can pay for more stuff namely boxes for my militia and other armies and most importantly glue I've been given/set a deadline to have all my militia built by so they can be put into their new home and After that painting my militia completely hopefully the next update will by my deamon reinforcements arriving and after hopefully by August time I'll have a massive update in the form of all of my infantry all 10 full platoons built with command squads and veterans joined by another update of all of their armour

*Taps foot impatiently*

Haha I promise when there is an update next it'll be good hell might even have my army painted before the year is out XD

Hello all just seen about 8th edition and I won't lie it seems like it'll be very fun of course I'm waiting till I see rules first but I'm excited none the less but I am not worried more interested how militia will transfer over I hope they remain the same more or less same pts and such but I hope sbove all else they keep sigils and banners to aid with are leadership but time will tell and I've got my hopes up

But anyway will have an update tomorrow of tanks I will also tomorrow be linking a battle report which a friend has made for his traitorous sons of Horus I hope that soon I can get back into the swing of building my stuff again and playing so soon hopefully there will be even more updates and even more battle reports

A traitor calling another traitor a traitor? Miracles never cease

Haha well he did say himself he likes the alpha legion....so he would be a traitor to the traitors and thus a traitor to a traitor xD well I don't think I can fit traitor in anymore lol

So he's actually a Loyalist you're saying?

Maybe or perhaps he is a traitor who is a traitor to the traitors who then is a traitor to the loyalists haha I actually have no idea he did say he wanted some alpha legion models for his army I have no idea if they will be traitors or loyalists yet but all I can say is I don't trust them either way xD

Here are the photos so 2 boxed semi built valkyries, a built valkyrie and a built vulture 3 wyverns 1 Griffion and a leman russ

Stop it with your mind games. I'm too tired to sort through your lies

Or are they the truth haha

Hello all now this update is going to reveal a sort of Master plan and a very interesting force I will be buying hopefully soon although I have a ton of stuff of friends I'm buying at the moment but anyway I am thinking of doing a small sons of sek army now the figures I will be using are really cool infantry models from a company called vanguard miniatures I won't lie I stumbled across them while looking for alternative models for 40k renegades so here is a link to the website so you can see what they look like http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/defeat-in-detail-28mm/28mm-tainted-forces/
Now the plan is to buy enough to make two platoons of 36 infantry men all mounted in chimeras backed up by a command squad and 2 veteran squads this list will be posted later as it uses the bloody handed reaver devotion and will provide a rather interesting army I've never used before and a rude shock to my friends imperial guard

They're nice looking models, especially that heavy weapon one. Sounds like a good plan!

They sure are I hopefully will be buying them sometime around September

Not long now till my reinforcements arrive, the glue should be a little while afterwards so yeah I apologise it's taken so long, but in other news and slightly off topic me and a friend have written a tester set of rules for a star wars miniatures game so soon enough there will be another blog for that and the starship troopers will get some love to in the form of a small battle report and some more moblie infantry built

Just saved a fairly large amount of chaos marines from the bin I'll have photos tomorrow but it's fair to say I'm happy although I will say that due to the change of editions and that I have already a massive collection I have held off on buying more it sucks but it'll make my collection way more manageable also on another note the Star Wars blog I'll be doing fairly soon I'll also have links to where I've gotten stuff and will some time soon post what rules I've written for it but I'll have to explain that in the blog

Can't wait to see your new haul!

First photo is of 26 chaos marines and 17 flesh tearers which may end up being new "recruits" for the chaos warband some are in bits but there is plenty in the bag to make repairs

The next are 18 thousand sons and 4 sorcerers

Here are the final reinforcements a helbrute, chaos lord, 4 chosen, and 10 possessed and there is another model but he is in bits but it is a metal deamon prince xD

Quite the impressive haul I must say, and a decent start on the power armored part of your Chaos army

You know i almost misread that as "the next are 18,000 sons"

and with this blog, i almost could believe that number

Looking exciting, those are some fun reinforcements to mess about with!
