Noice work one the power dords. Similar to mine.. Oh. And happy now? I updated!

Thanks, and very happy
Still haven't figured out the space marine problem, just thinking about it makes me add more chapters to the list...

Hm... I think I've found a solution to the Space Marine problem!

Don't play marines, play DAEMONS!

Daemons to be exact, with Traitor Guard to be precise!
Why? New Daemon kits (go check out the N&R forums here on Dakka)

Why traitor guard? Well, Slaanesh Marines never appealed to me....

So, yay!

I love how you keep changing your armies

It's just the way I am, anyway, it keeps thins interesting!

Good point! And new deamons look sweet!

Ok, now I need to think about how I'm going to make the daemon/traitor guard army/allience thing...
I' thinking either 2 seeker chariots or 1 exalted (both the same thing, really...) 2 boxes of daemonettes and (if I have enough moneyz) command squad + guard squad for my traitor guard allies

Well, that was a good buy
30 Daemonettes and 10 seekers for less than $100

Doubt I'll have enough for any guard after the chariots, but meh.
I just won't have a shooting phase for a bit

When.do we see pics?

When I get them
Unless you mean in general, in which case, when I am able to borrow my sister's camera again

k, the daemons have been shipped!

Well I feel like an idiot.
In short, went to make army list, realised I don't actually own C:CD...
Yeah, Epic Faul moment

Had my first 2 games of 6th yesterday, needless to say, I lost both.
Oh, and to add insult to injury, my epic Overlord, who has survived the worst gibblies in the 40k table top game died.
k, that isn't too bad, except when he has a 2+/3++ save, & 4+ reanimation protocols, & died to tau.
and not just any tau, a Tau fething marker drone.
1 1 1 for his 3 saves, then 1 for RP
yeah, not a good day.

oh well, planned updates soon, RTB01 marine with paint, anyone?

(oh, and with the overlord, I charged, so extra wtf)

Curse my ideas... Sometimes they are good, soetimes less so.
And then real life comes in and makes a big mess.
No, I'm still going to do a daemons army, but after looking at WorthyPAINTING's YouTube Channel, I've been inspired to do a pre-heresy truescale marine army, because the guys on the channel have both a truescale DA army and a Pre-Heresy DA army...

At first I was like 'IRON HANDS!', except that the part I love about them (the bionics) weren't really prominent until Post-Heresy, read some IH fluff if you want to know why.
Then I thought 'Ultramarines', but, no, no smurs here
And, then, the BA codex was on my desk. And I remembered the rules for the Sanguinor....

And then I thought 'Wouldn't it be cool to have a Primarch'...
So, yeah, if I do a Pre-Heresy True-Scale marine army, Blood Angels it is...

But then I'm a bit crazy, and we all now how often my ideas become reality.

Hey, everyone, guess what?
I got the daemons!
Progress soon (probably as early as this afternoon!)

UPDATE!

Yes, here it is, finally!

Slaanesh Daemons!

And my Bastion With some of the Emperor's Finest, the SPHESS MAREENZ fighting off dem orks

Sexy! When do we see paint?

Hopefully soon...

Oh wow I'm an idiot, I forgot to take pics of the Crimson Fist marine.. (RTB01)

Wsit, what? 2 Updates in one day?

Better pics of the Herald/Alluress (which do you think she should be?) and the RTB01 marine

Yeah, that does look like a herald. As for the truescale, why not pre-heresy EC to go with these new Daemons?

Ooh, that is a great idea n0t_u! though I'm now unsure about pre heresy/heresy era EC, the BA vibe is too strong

If I make her a herald, she'll be on a larger base, just so everyone knows she's more important

Big claws are the way I usually show importance.

But a larger base works anyway, as well as opening up more options to decorate it with.

Except I used the Big Claws on my squad leaders as well

Ah, I guess then bigger base or having them stand on something is the way to go.

But, also remember for challenges Daemonettes don't actually have squad leaders for some reason. Just one with an icon, instrument and one that just stares at them to make them lose an attack.

Good point

Which then means I need to make sure my Heralds don't get charged...

Also, how large should each daemonette squad be?

K, yes , it is a weekday, but I decided stuff the Geography Assignment I have and build daemons (I'll probably finish most of it tomorrow, anyway... I mean I am half done atm...)


So, a few steads have been built.

Because I didn't glue the daemonettes onto the steeds, I decided to give my command more sleek looking steeds.

So, here they are (plus some more shots of the herald and daemonette squad)

For squad size I usually hear about 15-18 being a good number. Usually run them as 15 I think. No idea about Seekers, still looking to get some.
