Grand Army Idea

"And lo: by their devices and desires shall Chaos make itself known to thee."- Silas Hand

With Codex: Imperial Agents on the horizon, in a previous Blog post, I talked about my Grand Army idea......  that was almost a year ago.... so I guess it is time for an update. According to the WarComm article :   "Should you instead wish to field an entire army of Imperial Agents, the Codex offers four new Detachments which add their own Detachment rules, Stratagems, and Enhancements to the mix, allowing you to support a full Inquisitorial force with no limitations on the number of u

"One Unbreakable Shield Against The Coming Darkness"

So last night I sat down to organize my Grey Knight Terminators to see how many more I needed to make my Brotherhood Terminators 10 man......cause why not. There are 2 squads that have 8 men, 2 squads have 7 and the last 2 have 6 men. I have 2 unopened boxes of terminators so another 2 more would allow me to max out the 6 squads with Apothecaries and Ancients I could then add ancients to my Paladin squads.    Below is my Terminator Armor 2nd Brotherhood. (Not Shown is Variant Grandmast

"We fight for the Imperium, not our souls!"

As the threat of Combat Patrol against my kids looms ever so closer, the more I feel the pull towards my Grey Knights. I have lots of little side projects for them including more banner bearers and increasing squad size. Plus all the vehicles I have for them          Plus getting some of the servants from Skaventide to add to my Inquisition.  I think I may have to revisit my Kill Team and I am hoping for a codex soon....

Mikey’s Death Guard

In the embrace of Nurgle….

Another son has decided on his army. After taking him to lgs and running into friends I have not seen in 4 years or so, one of them converted him from Necrons to Death guard. So he picked up the following Models:     Lord of Virulence      Nauseous Rotbone, Plague Surgeon.   He loves Transformers, Robots, and He-man so I figured it would be Tau or Necrons. He really liked the Necrons but when he saw Mortarion and the Great Unclean one he was hook
Hobby Update

New miniature case!

So I finally upgraded to another miniature case.   My battlefoam 352 case is still in good condition but I did not want to drop the extra money on sliders magna racks when it was too small already. The Battlefoam case is super nice and the slider is the way to go but the price point is super high.        My Large old GW case is great for pewter models but plastic not so much.        The new case: jucoci

Coop’s Genestealer cult

So it begins….

Well a trip to my FLGS with my soon to be 11 year old (step)son did not end as I had expected.    Originally it was supposed to be a quick trip in for some paint but that did not happen. I let him walk around and check out the store and soon he found some models he liked…much to my surprise. He liked the bike models in eldar and marines, liked the Guard for being the military but ultimately he saw the ridge runner, jackals and the characters of the Genestealer cult.  He decided he wanted
Adepta Sororitas

"A Heretic may see the truth and seek redemption."

So after going through my Models the other day I have 3 built Penitent Engines, 1 built Mortifier, an unopened Penitent Engine/ Mortifier box, 6 Arco Flagellants, 17 Repentia, 2 Repentia Superiors, and both Blackstone Fortress Priests, plus a custom one.  So enough for a Penitent Host Detachment.  I need to get a few more models to round it out (I would like more Arco Flagellants) and want to convert multi piece Canoness into a "Repentia Canoness/ Palatine"     
Adepta Sororitas

The absence of faith is the mark of the weak.

As much as I love Horus Heresy and Necromunda, 40k is what got me into the hobby, along with my friend @The_Oni_of_Hindsight convincing me to play, was the cool armor of the Space Marines. As I began the journey of 40k, I found Sisters of Battle and I was hooked.....1997 seems so long ago...it was too.    Fast forward to now. Like many of us, I not happy with 10th Ed of 40k, for various reasons. With the drop of the Space Marines and losing all my battleline, since I played all Phobos

Call To Arms Update #3

Well I hoped to get more done this weekend then I actually did but between the health issues, kids, errands, work issues, and in the end result I made a mental mistake that resulted in my not being able to prime the models. I washed the models put them in the tub to dry and because of the cats I put the lid on it.....which did not allow them to dry fully.      With the 4th of July this week here in the United States, I have a 4 day weekend so I plan on getting them all primed,

Call To Arms Update #1

Well weekend is over  and my amazing fiancé and future kids spoiled me yesterday for Father's Day by giving me some hobby time.  I did not want to waste it but I also decided I wanted to smoke a Pork Loin for dinner so I bounced between hobby room and smoker in the afternoon/ evening.   Saturday night finished building the Kratos Turret and plow.     As I told my friend @The_Oni_of_Hindsight after all these years of playing/ building 40k, the Kratos is the first " M

Call To Arms- Vow

I am proud this year to pledge my Allegiance to the Horus Heresy Stronghold in the name of Emperor! My Vow break down later.   One of my favorite things about the B&C community is the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge and the Call to Arms Model building and painting events. @Grotsmasha has done a great job at keeping these events going over the years.  I am getting married in November this year, so I am hoping to get back into the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge next year, as a way to keep

Well it has been a week, not so much work related but I finally found time to hobby. I had to decide between painting Sisters of Silence (now that I have all 50 infantry models), the Custodes, or start building the last 2 armor vehicles I have.  Well the Kratos won out. This is were it ended last night.      Just turret and accessories to do.  I am hoping to get it done and get the Cerebus done too  before Saturday so I can focus on painting the rest of the Call to Arms vow

Adeptus Custodes

We are vigilance unending!

Well this just happened.....     I guess I have to build a Custodes army for HH now.... Still more to do on the base and well order more Custodes. Unlike my Sisters of Silence this will be a full army.  I plan on painting them Gold like My Knight Abyssal shown here:     But red robes. I think the bases may be more Unique with more than skulls.   So to start the plan is: Shield Captain  Hetaeron Guard Custodian Guard Squad Sent

Introducing the Kids to 40k- a summer project - Preview

A while back my Fiancée was shopping at Target and asked me if I wanted anything. I told her the The Space Marine Board Game. She did pick it up for me.        Not being a Tyranid Player or an Ultramarine player this was an enh purchase for my armies but as an introduction to 40k for my fiancée's adopted sons and my future (step) sons (11, 10, 9, and 8) it felt it would be perfect.  I can build in paint Capt.

A Story of Death or Victory- The Angels of the XIXth Legion Raven Guard Pt1

I am a Rememberacer. My job as given to me by Holy Terra, is that of a documenter, as journalist, if you will. Even as I write this, I wonder if it will be read by others. I am one of lucky few, given the opportunity to join the Emperor’s Great Crusade, as the Legions bring the worlds back under the Emperor’s light. This the story of my time, or better yet, retelling of the battles of that the Angels of the XIXth Legion, Raven Guard, I witnessed. The fleet, XIXth Legion, Raven Guard, 707th Exped

Work In Progress- XIXth Legion

Huge Update

Such a productive weekend! Friday I took off as a planned sick day and ended up having to run some errands for work and answering phone calls. Perks of being the boss, but at least I am hourly so it was all paid.  I initially took the day off to recover from my cold but Thursday night I built Cabinet 4 of 5 for the office/ hobby room.    After my errands I decided to hit up FLGS in hopes of them being out of the a Legiones Astartes Battle Group....if not I'd pick it up....
