I am also planning on running some DC in my IG. Fluff wise they are beginning to be consumed by the red thirst, so they are put into death company armor and sent to die for the emperor led by chaplains and reclursarchs. They take them on crazy assaults and suicide missions. If they live the battle, the chaplain does them a favor and finishes them off.

Thats what I will be using mine for, crazy assaults guard can no longer handle as well. And Ive always wanted a dreadnought, the DC one will be fun to use.

Death company as a rule of thumb turn up to the thickest fighting in which a Blood angels force is participating. They throw themselves selflessly at the most desperate of situations in the hope of finding peace from the black rage.

I love them, but fluff wise they do stick with their own rather than turn up randomly. If your wanting random go with the Legion of the Damned.

Edit: The reason for them sticking with their own is that their governing body is Astorath the Grimm, reclusiarch of the Blood angels and death company, and his Chaplains. they all report to him and he reports to Dante the golden disco ball...

Yeah I was thinking of the LotD, sorry.

Woah, missed a page. Anyways, havent played 6th yet, no comment tactics wise.

Reminded me of Lewis Tully
Louis Tully: Your Honor, ladies and gentleman of the audience, I don't think it's fair to call my clients frauds. Sure, the blackout was a big problem for everybody. I was trapped in an elevator for two hours and I had to make the whole time. But I don't blame them. Because one time, I turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you. [the courtroom is in bewildered silence]
Egon: Very good, Louis. Short, but pointless.

Yeah, well you can't just delete pointless posts, so better make them pointless...

I am going with Deathwing Terminators

Sorry for No updates! I am alive and well just taking a hobby break.

I hope to return very soon with a big surprise!

We'll still be waiting when you're back and idea-refreshed!

IRL slows the hobby down sometimes. You'll be back. Looking fwd to seeing what you come up with next.

Dark Vengeance... yay or nah?
I was thinking alliance with Dark Angels and the chaos trader guard as psykers?!

Let's hear your opinion!

Well the kits a very good, if a bit limited in number of poses (hacking and slashing required for unique poses). I'd say if you have the desire to change things up a bit, go for it! The LE version even has 3 DA hqs, lots of choice there.

Thanks Paul, I guess your the only one left interested in my thread.
Oh well...
My issue has been motivation mixed with No time. I keep thinking of things to try to jump start my passion again .
I have been thinking on converting a couple of Stormtalons into Imperial fighters. I was inspired by Rogue Wolves thread. Hopefully one day I'll have something worth while to show.. Thanks for visiting and thanks Paul for your input!

I'm sure there are others. Kinda what killed my plog as well, time and lack o comments.

I'm guessing it's some kind of seasonal thing (don't ask which seasons from where though), I've recently come back after a couple of months off and I'm seeing a lot of the guys I follow going through a drop-off too. Motivation-wise and thus model-wise as well. Unless there's an alien invasion fleet overhead draining the world's creativity I'm sure we'll see a rise again soon.

I've been slacking too man. I see my DV figs as just another bunch of minis I'm dreading to paint already TBH.

I agree w/ monkeytroll. This time of year is terrible. The death of my season (summer) looms and my spirit journey formation anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks. As the days grow darker, so does my mood. On top of that I've had some IRL issues that haven't been resolved yet.

Ugh.

However, I know that life is AWESOME and that I'm a very (very) lucky man. Briancj succinctly put into perspective when he was visiting this summer and I haven't forgotten that. I'm generally a happy person and once I make the adjustment to the shorter and colder days (around November usually) I'll shift back into high gear hobby-wise because it'll be terrible outside and I'll be inside a lot. Perfect excuse to model from 6pm to 2-3 am. Ha.

Just invest in someday light bulbs and model, paint and build cool stuff.

Also think of the nice cosy evenings in, watching all those Movies you just have not had the time for

yes..I look forward to cold, dark times indoors wielding an X-acto.

The only thing I don't like about Skalk's life is that he lives three hours away from me.

Well, done again, what did you do to win

I have volume one of this and I have to say it is a pretty dam good book, most of GW so called painting guides are well lets say poor at least.

This I found informative, descriptive and pretty easy to follow "nice change to say the least ".

I have bought a few help books for idea's and guides and I found this to be one of the better ones, I will be getting volume 2

Although I have to say the converting 2 Stormtalons into IG fighters sounds like fun

I think you need a super heavy tank, just sayin. Or a fort of redemption. Or you could grab a dark vengence and and extra terminator box, rock 1000ish points of DA allies. Or a thunderbolt and an avenger fighter. Or the RoB tile from FW. So many good choices!

I've been finishing my research and writing my dissertation (still doing that now - due in on Monday!); when I have had a week's sleep I will come back and check out your PLog - not really had the time recently.

Picked up a Stormlord and Masterclass volume 1. I am going to go bananas on this baneblade... hopefully the inspiration dry spell is over!

My take awhile but stay tuned for actual modeling updates!

Wait, did you get a stormlord or a baneblade?

Stormlord variant
