Blood Greys Part 1: Heavy Metal Thunder


Hello Renegades and Heretics! 

 

This is the model project of my heretical Astra Militarum, The Blood Grey's and there witch coven allies The Bloodspeakers. If you want to know about the lore of these group that I have cooked up click on the link below. 

Bloody Grey's Lore  

 

Back in the day, My brother and I would play Combat Patrol, but this wasn't the modern Combat Patrol that we have today. It was a small scale 400pts games meant to be played in about 40 mins. We thought it was a cool way to start new projects. I would start my Tyranids, and my brother would start his Imperial Guard. I believe he started with Catachan Jungle Fighters. I remember flamer teams and jungle snipers,  but it would morph into a Tank Company as our point level increased. With Russes,  hellhounds and basilisks. My brother would later join the Navy, and he gave me his little tank company. It had about 20ish tanks and I would sell most of the company on ebay and trades. Mostly to fund my World Eaters and Tyranids.

 

Then the era of Chaos Soup started. I wanna say it was 8th edition, but from what I can remember was that you could run Leman Russ tanks in a World Eaters list under the Chaos keyword using the Forge World Renegades and Heretics rules. By then I had sold most of the tanks. I think I only had these 2 tanks at the start of the Soup craze.

They serve me well during those days. I then started adding infantry squads and heavy weapon teams. To make it look like a cohesive force I turned them into traitor guard and even made a little bit of lore to why these guys were following my World Eaters around. They were turning into a full army in their own right, not just some filler force to add some fire support to my World Eaters. At one point is was a mech-guard list with dudes in transports.

This is one of the newer tanks that I added. The army is now what I call a standard Guard army. With large blobs of infantry and a few armoured assets to deal out the pain to the enemy. I still need more, another executioner is on the list, as well as the newer Rogal dorn. But with 11 edition coming I have pumped the breaks on buying any more models for the Bloody Greys. Once the fallout of new edition is settle, we will see if there's more room for more heavy metal.
