What a journey and a pleasure to see the progress from 3rd edition to now. Really like your modernized force of primaris. Best of luck with them on the battlefield!

That is an amazing sight! It is a massive accomplishment to paint up so many, so it must feel very fulfilling to see it all out on display.

Very crisp highlights and a superb paint job. Very well done!

I think I'll give this a go, will be a nice incentive for me to paint up some new Death Guard. Even though it wlll be my first CoC, I am looking forward to it immensely.

I plan on equipping mine all with combi-plas (I am really liking the new plas revolution, the one where my troops don't kill themselves through overheating!), and a blight launcher. Not too sure of the flail, but might do so as it looks cool.

I plan on getting at least 2, and perhaps 3. I plan on making a foot sloggin force, and the Plagueburst Crawler fits that anti-tank role well, plus I love the idea of shelling the enemy, while walking up the field with infantry. Most likely will upgrade to entropy cannons as well, as anti-tank was my main weakness in my game with Death Guard so far.

Was a good learning game, and it was good to field that ancient army. Shame about the photo's but that is probably a good thing, due to the ancient paint schemes they are in, as well as resplendent in all their old school banners. I thought it might be useful to have my input from the other side of the table. Orks in a big mob will always be target, so a KFF or multiple large mobs will ensure they hit the lines and do some damage. Your use of stealing the initiative was a good one, and one I will certainly look to use in the future! It also showed you that even a few orks will dish out some damage. Flash gitz were good at dishing out a lot of firepower, but like you saw, they are fragile against shooting. Probably need some screening units in front (grots?). That said, their ablative wound grots took a lot of the damage going their way, so they were able to club Ragnar good. I like the Kannons, and thought the use of shells was a good amount of damage and hits, I just think I was fortunate with the saves, that and they were aimed at units in cover or terminators. Killa Kans did a good job to tie up those Blood Claws. I think in hindsight, it was unwise to send the Blood Claws in, though I had nothing else available to take them down. I am glad, however, that they did take them in the end. I do think numbers here would help, maybe 4 to start so it doesn't matter if you lose one early so you can get those extra attacks. Otherwise, rather solid. Kommandos just takes some getting used to. I think cover is very important to them and perhaps have used them to help an existing unit (Kans or Flash Gitz). Either that or skulk as a potential target and put some worry on the opponent. They were unfortunate against the Wolf Guard as they did pump out the shots amazingly. Despite the hoard of models across from me, the Space Wolves did will to make a dent. It was a good game, Though man of the match for me would be a tie between the Wolf Guard Terminators and Long Fangs. It would definitely be the Flash Gitz for you, as they soaked a ton of hits, and only the Wolf Guard and Long Fangs took them down. Poor Ragnar and Ulrick! They will have their rewenge!

I like them a lot. Glad to finally see some Primaris in yellow.

Thanks for the link. Did hear about this mode from a friend, and we will try it out. An I fully recommend Eye of Horus podcast, top quality and banter.

This came at the perfect time for me. Here's hoping I can finish. I, Lachdannan, accept my role in this. I promise to lead the White Scars into the zone of war, and conduct them to battle. I will do so no matter the ferocity or ingenuity of the foe. I pledge my blade to the V Legion. On this matter, and by the Great Khan, I swear.

It's a shame I didn't see this earlier, but not one to give in, I thought I'd take a stab at it. I, Lachdannan, of the VII Legion, vow to paint my interpretation of Archamus, Master of the Huscarls by the 31st March 2017. I still await some parts to arrive, but will at least make a start on the body. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/DSCF3935_zpsbdsdspij.jpg

Great poses. I also quite like the position of the grenades on the shoulder pads. Very cool.

Vow complete. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/DSCF3732_zpsqnbfhylx.jpg More pics here. Good luck with the challenge brothers.
