With salute fast approaching and not really knowing how i would transfer all the tanks for a tyrants legion game, its been decided to change the game to a 4 player boarding assault game from IA9. The good new is the models for the carcharodons are finished and dunked and […]
Having painted the last squad of carcharodons i decided the time had come to dunk them and see how my choice of basing grit worked out. Its the larger typr of GF9 basing stuff and while its more of a pain to put on i dont think its turned out […]
Check these out, new force commanders from Forgeworld. I’ll be painting these over the next week, will upload some pics as i go Left – Lugft Huron Chapter Master Of The Astral Claws (Base being painted separate)Right – Tyberos The Red Wake
I felt like a night off painting but still had nothing better to do than work on the project so treated myself to trying out using transfers for the first time. Now i’ve never used these before and having spent £12 a sheet on transfers i didnt really want to […]
Part of the badab back story is that Huron loves bug guns, so quite a big part of the legions army is artillery and they have 3 earth shaker cannons on the table 2 basalisks and 1 artillry battery. they also get a bombard strike from off table thats str […]
Next of the production line is a hellhound flame tank. This hopefully should be good for clearing cover and just puts one more tank on the table. It comes with the bonus of being able to start its template up to 12 inches away and can fire at 90 degrees […]
Fresh of the painting table are 2 of the 3 tank squads. The entire formation is designed to be able to handle all kinds of table setup. First group dosent have sponsons and so is designed to stay still and cover open ground with fire, the second group has heavy […]
The next stage of the tyrants legion is completed. The Auxilia Armsmen Cadre, these are slightly better troops that the Legion Auxilia and come with a heavy weapons team and a heavy stubber so can put down some pritty good fire power. Yes i have used Muntant Chronicle minatures for […]

So while i’ve been waiting for the last few bits of the Carcharodonds to arive i’ve made a start on the tyrants legion. I decided to have them as the 2nd army as i had most of the components to actually get them finished with out having to hit ebay […]
So the main reason for the big gap in posts other than football and a bad shoulder have been these bad boys. The Auxilia is a 40 man squad, yes thats 40 MODELS!!!11111111 For these i’m using the chaos cultists from the 6th ed boxset, yes they are a bit […]
So its nearly broken me but finally the legion auxilia squad is finished! they are great models to paint given the fact they come out of a starter box set. So i’m pritty happy with how these have turned out as they have the urban malitia element i was […]
So the parts to finish of the siege dreadnought talon finally arrived today so have since been busy building the weapons and now have a fully painted siege chapkin dreadnought. Please note i didnt base this as it came like this from ebay. all this leads to the first of […]
So after a day of with a hangover and a bit of time off for football the next bit of the Carcharodons is almost completed. The first tactical squad just need a few last touches but are pritty much finished. Now what i have also been looking at is the […]
So only managed to get one more dreadnought finished toady but here he is now technically he’s a furiso blood angels dreadnought but i like the model and one of the CCW counts as a sisemic hammer just needs a few last touches but a night out on Cotswold seems […]
The first troop unit to be painted is the siege dreadnought talon, so thats a formation of 3 dreadnoughts that count as a troop choice, they have to be either venerable or siege pattern so you get the 2 best for a melle assault army. 2 more dreadnoughts to […]
The first squad to be finsished is the Vanguard squad. Using the 5 man metal figures from GW and 5 standard assault marines but giving them lightning claws. They can deep strike and do an heroic intervention to stop scatter so should be able to fix an early game problem […]
So hot of the painting table today is the Titan hammer Apocalypse formation. Made up of 3 terminator assault squads with thunder hammers and storm shields giving them a 3+ invulnrability save. They must deep strike onto thew table together and deploy within 12 inches of the comander. The big […]
What can I say, yeah, they got me again. Dark Vengeance is the latest “Limited edition” boxed set from GW. Following 4 years of regret never having picked up the limited edition space hulk (now going on ebay for a cool £200 a shot, four times its retail price) I […]
So what do you get for your hard-earned cash? Lets get the predictable stuff out of the way You get a Chopped down version of the rulebook, which has the core rules and is downscaled from A4 to A5. A size which makes it great for Chucking in the miniatures […]
Of all the Imperial Armour books, The Siege of Vraks is the one that’s really got me enthusiastic. Unfortunately collecting 1500 points worth of 40K figures is prohibitively expensive, let alone collecting the 10000 X 2 points worth to play the scenario. (X2 because we always buy and paint both […]
