Warhammer Fest 2018

So having managed to complete my first models of 2018, I went to Warhammerfest back in May. Consequently I'm absolutely brimming with 40k enthusiasm.

First some pics..

On the whole it was a great day out, with couple of disappointments...

• Lack of a big Necromunda display. I would have loved to have seen the promethian rig thing again
• Sold out of Van Saar by the Sunday. Bit shit really.
• No pen

First Games of 8th

As I said in my previous blog entries, I'm currently full of motivation and inspiration for 40k (if limited by time). Now, to top off it all I've actually managed to get (my first) two whole games of 8th edition in. My Iron Warriors took on my mate Ste's Deathguard at 1500 points...

And then a few weeks later my Iron Warriors took on my mate Stes Deathguard at 1250 points...

So two games in and I think Blood for the Blood God is a crazy rule.

Do like 8th? Hell yes. everything just flowed better with less looking up of numbers in tables. Although saying that I did struggle to find the right pages in the codex all the time. Maybe they need a better layout? Maybe I need bookmarks?

The main thing is, it felt great actually playing a game and rolling dice and stuff. These were the first games since I moved house and stuff too. Happy days!

Thanks for reading, and may your skull throne be piled high!

Rocking in a full 4 months behind schedule, but I'm certain it still counts! Anyhoo, here are some Iron Warrior plague marine type dudes...

Squaduary 2018 Week 1

Hi all. I've been making some decent progress on my Squaduary pledge. I think I've got a good rythm with doing some of the raised detail bits, with the plan to then fill in the background that will be mostly silver and black. Consequently they don't really look very Iron Warrior-y as of yet.

So here they are...

State Of The Union: The Forces of the Imperium

Positioned somewhere between my Orks and Iron Warriors in terms of numbers of models still to finish are Imperial forces, mostly represented by my guard. Most of my 7th edition games were with these guys. I've got a decent core of an army. Or at least I did since I'm sure what might have changed in the move to 8th edition. My hit list for these guys include more regular soldiers and more Leman Russ tanks

Anyway, the pics...
