So, I logged onto GOG a few minutes ago and forgot that I had picked up a White Dwarf issue at the store a year ago, and It had a code in it for GOG, and it gave me a ton of warhammer games.

I think I actually tried to join B&C years ago, but I had issues signing up. Anyway, It looks like the site has been redesigned, it's looking good! I'm totally for forums, but this blog focus seems great. It's also nice to see people share hobby content in formats that aren't A) youtube (not that it's terrible at all, but it's a lot of work editing videos and therefore still somewhat inaccessible.) B) Not on facebook. Some years ago I deleted my FB, but had to get an account again for hobby stuff. Not gonna lie, I wish tabletop communities didn't rely so much on Facebook. So I'm glad that I was able to sign up just now to the B&C!

You shouldn't worry about word counts. Just pick a single story beat you want to hit in your lore and write until you feel the story is told. Everything else is secondary.

Jr and I have watched the Warhammer+ episodes of Cursed City and Blackstone Fortress. Cursed City looked great fun and Jr really enjoyed it. I then bought Blackstone Fortress and we watched the WH+ episode but neither of us enjoyed it - I just think it didn't translate to TV. We have yet to attempt a go at the game (I've assembled the minis but not painted them). I do love a boxed game.

I canoot recommend the Warhammer Quest games enough as entry level introductions. They include dice rolling, and special rules for different units, require planning and strategy. My son has no interest in the hobby side of things, but will play as the enemies on both Blackstone Fortress and Cursed City. Another viable option are the even smaller boxed games like Space Marine Adventures Rise of the Orks, or Doomsday Countdown for 40k and WH: Lost Relics and WAoS: Crypt Hunters. These smaller games are 30-45min runtime, which helps with attention span with the younger ones.

Okay, I finally got the minis put together. I'll cover each as a separate category in this blog, however, so you'll be able to watch the progression from poorly assembled mini to poorly painted mini on each one individually. The reason it took so long, other than there being a ton of squirrels in my vicinity, is that I made some changes after some agonized consideration. First, I decided to not worry about the second squad. I'm only worried about a single squad now. Realistically, I'm not likely to ever reach the point where I'll collect a full 20-man squad, especially given the new Deathwatch release for the current edition of the Kill Team game. This speeds things up in the long run as now I only have to come up with 4 additional models (and their Chapters). Why is this important? Because I have plans for overachieving (first, though, I have to reach mediocre achieving ). I like to have the full roster of my kill team available for my opponent, with a checkbox for each member. It's laminated so I can identify each model that will appear on the table. This roster can be done after I get the miniatures painted, of course, but it serves as a plan for expansion. Second, I changed some of the weapons. The fundamental reason for this is that this squad represents the Legio, which means it should be closer to a "normal" Adeptus Astartes unit. Yes, I'm using the Deathwatch rules, but it just didn't feel right to take too much advantage of the Deathwatchness. So I've swapped both of the shotguns for Stalker pattern boltguns and the Infernus heavy bolter is now a plain heavy bolter. This makes the squad even less curb-stompy. The four additional models will give me a bit of variety - probably two boltgun/power weapon guys, one storm bolter guy (so I can have two of them in the kill team if I want), and one gunner (I haven't decided between the flamer, meltagun, and plasmagun yet). Along with those came a bit of rearranging of the Chapters. I re-thought my methodology a bit. If we assume that there were about 1,000 Chapters prior to the Ultima Founding (my kill team is pre-Great Rift), there are about 300 known official Chapters. Yes, some of those no longer exist [as of 999.M41] such as the Wolf Brothers and the Fire Hawks. That means that about 1/3 of Chapters (slightly less than that, actually) have been officially named. So I figured I could have 2 or 3 members of the squad come from official Chapters to remain within the bounds of statistical likelihood. So far, about 50 Chapters have been identified as belonging to the Second Founding, including the nine "First Founding" Chapters, but not including the Grey Knights or the Angels of Vigilance (the latter of which might not be of the Second Founding). Statistically, then 0-1 members of the squad might come from a First-/Second-Founding Chapter while remaining within the bounds of statistical likelihood. As for the makeup of the Chapters of origin [and their lineage back to the Legions], we had an interesting discussion back in 2022. In that discussion, I presented my personal conclusions based on the data published by Games Workshop. You can see my conclusions here. Statistically, 6 or 7 members of a squad will be from Chapters descended from the Ultramarines Legion, 1 member of the squad will be from a Chapter descended from the Imperial Fists Legion, 1 member of the squad will be from a Chapter descended from the White Scars Legion, and the remaining 1 or 2 members will be from a Chapter descended from one of the other Legions, the order of likelihood there being, from highest to lowest, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Raven Guard, Iron Hands, Unknown, Salamanders, and Space Wolves. Statistical likelihood isn't deterministic, however, so I'm willing to fudge things here and there, with a ±1 factored in (i.e., Ultramarines 5-8, everyone else 0-2). It's always possible that some squads might have vastly different compositions in terms of their lineage, but I'm using these guidelines for this squad. I'm going to stick with: 6 Ultramarines Legion Successors 1 White Scars Legion Successor 1 Imperial Fists Legion Successor 1 Iron Hands Legion Successor 1 Salamanders Legion Successor At this point, the only Chapter known for certain is from an official Chapter, the Sons of Medusa (my sole Iron Hands Legion Successor). The reason I chose them is because the Novamarines Chapter badge is close enough (there are more points around the halo, but I'm not going to sweat that) and the Sons of Medusa aren't a First-/Second-Founding Successor (otherwise I was seriously considering the Novamarines). Beyond that, I haven't determining which Legions each of the other Chapters are descended from. Since I plan to write (mini-)articles for each, however, I'll have to make that decision eventually. There's going to be a minor change to the Legio's color scheme. This doesn't invalidate anything that anyone has submitted previously (a key factor in making the change). Instead, it validates all of the varieties that have appeared in the past. Something else it does is give me red, white, and black as options for the parent Chapter shoulder pad colors. This is important because I want to enable my opponents to identify models by the Chapter badge shoulder pad color, calling a model simply "blue" or "purple" without having to identify a weapon or give a more in-depth description. Here's the breakdown of the Chapters and their colors so far (just the first six models): Watch Sergeant - Khalkotauri Chapter - purple field with a bronze bull head Fighter - Emperor's Hounds Chapter - red field with silver hound (wolf) head Heavy Gunner - Storm Angels Chapter - yellow field with black Maltese cross Boltgun 1 - Sons of Medusa Chapter - green field with black skull on white field surrounded by black halo Boltgun 2 - Griffon Lords Chapter - blue field with white griffon rampant Storm Bolter - Paragon Knights Chapter - orange field with black crossed swords The two official Chapters are the Griffon Lords (unknown lineage) and the Sons of Medusa (Iron Hands Legion Successor). When (if?) I get around to the other four models, their parent Chapter shoulder pad colors will be black, white, gray, and something else (brown? split? quartered? special?). At best, only one of these will be from an officially named Chapter, but I could also make all four unofficial. Here's a picture of the six models that currently exist (pictures help me to find all of the mould lines that I missed ): From left to right: heavy gunner (heavy bolter), warrior A (Stalker pattern boltgun), fighter (grav-pistol and power maul), Watch Sergeant (thunder hammer and bolt pistol), warrior B, warrior C (storm bolter) Using the Deathwatch rules, these guys represent a squad of veterans (Mentors) from the Legio Bolter & Chainsword. The Inquisitorial icon on their left shoulder pads (under the Legio skull icon) indicates that they have served on Inquisitorial teams in the past. While I'll cover each model in separate categories and entries, it's worth noting that the Chapter badge shoulder pad on warrior C (storm bolter) is an old metal shoulder pad with an alternative icon for assault squads. They work perfectly for the Guardians of the Covenant and, in this case, a DIY Chapter with a similar icon. All of the other bits are from a variety of kits, including the Sternguard, Deathwatch, and a variety of basic firstborn kits like the Assault, Tactical, and Devastator squads. There may be a few bits from other kits. I'll begin painting these guys, ideally starting tomorrow, but hopefully no later than Monday.

So far I'm really enjoying Crusade (week 4, which is the end of Phase 1 of our campaign) and am probably going to continue playing it whenever I can, with whatever army I'm able. I wasn't super enthusiastic at first- why play with old models that have been sitting on the shelf for a half-decade, but it has turned out to be one of the better 40k experiences I've had recently. Getting to go back and re-do all my lore, turning the Forgotten into extremely angry, bitter Fallen rather than the noble knights that they were originally intended to be is just fun. Since the Forgotten were supposed to be Fallen hunters, I find it quite amusing that they are now Fallen themselves, though disdainful of the gifts of Chaos and those that use them too frequently. They are similar to Iron Warriors or Night Lords who look down on the corrupted as weak and foolish, everything is about their own misery and anger- they need to help from Neverborn deceivers. Which does mean as the Crusade goes along I'm going to walk a tight-line of not using some of the more powerful CSM Crusade options such as daemon weapons, ascending to Daemonhood, or even Chaos boons. Or perhaps the Forgotten will have to comprimise their honor to gain and advantage in the battles to come... Nachmund rules are really interesting as well. Phase 2 is when we will start using the Tactical Reserve rules (Phase 1 was to ease in new players to the general game/Crusade specific stuff like upgrading), so I'm pretty interested to try out the Reinforcing Wave reserve stuff and Precision Deep Strikes. I think my army style will play right into it, as I'm going heavy on termies, bikes, transports, and advancing Chosen packs, which will allow me a fast base list and reinforcements designed to keep hammering the enemy.

Very nice models, pics and photoshop job. As always may I say.

So, I'm very, very hesitant to dip my toe into your fan project because it involves your actual religious beliefs and that's an unbelievably huge kettle of worms. However, taking the concept in hand, I do want to say I disagree with this concept from a Christian perspective; 'Religion of the populace is heavily regulated as allowing outside beliefs often leads to a weakening of the faith for the entire community.' My objection is based on two points; 1) Regulating religion is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 13:24-30) 2) I don't really believe that allowing outside beliefs leads to a weakening of faith. It leads to a broadening of knowledge and understanding of others, but if that consequently leads to a lack of faith then the problem lies with that person. The passage about POW's I think could be expanded on or maybe rephrased, as it looks now that POW's are given the choice to convert, leave or die, which is certainly contrary to Jesus' teachings. Conversion under duress is not faith and there is a responsibility towards compassion. Jesus' second greatest law is, after all; "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," not "You shall love your neighbor as yourself...but only if he believes the same as you."

You’re not bad at painting! I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been proud of a model, then photographed it and been like “what is this foul abomination I’ve created?!?!?” Zoomed right in, the details are always going to look a bit funny, but my trick is to take the photo from further away so when you zoom in the resolution isn’t as high.

The thing about the 40K canon is that a Galaxy is a big place, and 10,000 years is a long time. Hard to say 'X is true' and have that somehow cover all that and catch every single exception. And, frankly, I'm just in favour of more custom successor chapters, regardless of origin or canon alignment. Making your own thing is the heart and soul of this stupid hobby.

Now you have no moral right to make us wait. Troopers can't wait eternity in the middle of the storm. You shall post next part as soon as possible.

Man, those colors go perfectly with each other and your chapter badge is simple, but looks cool as hell.

My personal favs are the Ratling pair

My daughter got into the hobby briefly when she was ~10 and expressed interest in doing more than look at my ‘little men.’ Similar to Rusted Boltgun, it really started with game nights of Space Hulk and Warhammer Quest. The rules were simple, games went quickly, and there was a manageable number of miniatures. From what she has said it was also more relatable in the size to what she saw in movies and TV shows. We did play some skirmish games eventually based mostly off the 2004 kill team rules. But she always preferred the board games. We also had scheduled painting days too. She was more interested in Lord of the Rings and fantasy than 40K, and more on specific figs she liked rather than caring about how they related to games. She did not find the fantasy battles rules interesting. I suspect she would have enjoyed AoS if it had been out at the time. She mostly stopped after a couple of years as other hobbies and friend activities popped up. Still play Space Hulk every so often and she reminds me of all the times she won when we first started. Any painting nowadays is focused on D&D stuff.

Well, lucky for me I was able to get/snag/was gifted about 1500 points of Votann over the past month, so I have a lot of stuff in the coming months to put out. Glad to hear it. Crusade, even with its faults, has been very fun for me personally and the group I play with has really come to embrace it.

Here he is, primed, after my [attempted] cleaning. Yes, I see the mould lines that I missed on the power maul. There was a slight re-positioning. The Assault squad legs have only one point of contact with the base. That's one of the feet. And it's not even the entire foot, with only the ball/toes making contact as the heel is raised with the legs being in a running position. The models were affixed to the paint stick via bluetac and, like a complete ninny, I applied leverage to the model's body instead of the base in my initial effort to remove the model from the paint stick. Naturally, the bond of the bluetac with the bottom of the base was stronger than that between the foot and the base, so the model came off (cleanly). I had to reattach the model to the base, and you can see the still-wet glue at the toes. I'm almost certain that I'm going to have to do a little more to get a stronger bond, either pinning the model (though there's not much of the foot that I can get a pin into unless I go in at an extreme angle) or using some putty around the foot. Otherwise, this model is at risk for coming apart at the foot/base with rough usage/storage.

After cleaning up most of the mould lines, file marks, and other messiness on the models (as seen in the entries for each), I used Badger Stynylrez gray primer. I'm going to experiment with things, especially since I want a little more definition for the "black" using contrast paints. As usual, I've waited until the last minute to get around to actually painting these guys. Since I'm a snob, I refuse to play using unpainted models (except when I'm learning a game's rules playing solo), and since the game is scheduled for this Sunday and I have a lot going on this week (not to mention whatever random things my wife asks me to do, which always screw up my carefully crafted plans), I'm only going to be able to paint these guys to a "battle ready" standard. I hope to do a bit more, especially in terms of getting some highlighting done, but I need to have realistic expectations. Whatever I can't get done by Sunday will be taken care of later. Anyhoo, here they are as of right now, still on the paint stick and ready for some actual paint... I apologize for the bluriness, especially on Talaon (far left). I'll have better close-up images for each individual model in their respective categories. You can see some other models in the background. These were fortunate to receive the airbrush primer treatment, too. Those are my Fire Claws, which are being covered elsewhere. That was a contest in which I absolutely failed to reach the desired conclusion within the set time, and I have submitted myself for penance for that failure. I have to maintain focus on my priorities right now, however, so they'll languish in their current state for now. I hope to give them the paintbrush treatment soon, too, and will provide updates on that in the Playing with Fire blog when the time comes. The plan with the Legio kill team is to revert to our original scheme, which can be seen (mostly) in my original Legio mini-me miniature, the eponymous Brother Tyler. That was done back in 2002 when we first created the Legio. I hate that I didn't get the back banner to glue together properly. And despite the lackluster execution, I was somewhat proud of this model, especially the face. The red highlighting was a poorly executed experiment, and that's the only thing that won't be incorporated in the scheme for the current kill team (okay, the sandy/rocky base won't be there, either). What you can't see well are the black/white checks on the right greave (you can just make out the white of one of the squares below the kneepad - the angle makes the kneepad look like he's trying to compensate for something with an extra-large codpiece) and the red left kneepad. I don't know if we ever defined exactly what the red kneepad meant at the time, though many of us used that element on our mini-me's at that time (tellingly, others used either white or black kneepads, so maybe we did explain it ). Later, we (retroactively?) defined that as the indication of the battle-brother's great company affiliation, red being the color of the Blood of the Emperor Great Company (white being for the Light of the Emperor Great Company and black being for the Justice of the Emperor Great Company). We also didn't define the meaning of the black and white checks, though we have since identified them as one of the methods that Legio members use to indicate veteran status (there are alternative methods for those that don't want to paint checks onto their models ). Lore-wise, this Brother Tyler had been seconded from the Iron Hounds Chapter, which I decided had been destroyed by Tyranids. Since Games Workshop later gave us an official Iron Hounds Chapter with a completely different scheme (no, I never had any expectation that my scheme would be used ), I've re-created that Chapter as the Emperor's Hounds, the Chapter from which Veteran Brother Martäinen hails. Unfortunately, a cat destroyed this model one day and the only part that I could find was the head, which looked undamaged and is in a bits box somewhere (the cat is no longer with us, obviously). While Veteran Sergeant Tyler appeared in some lore that we created later, I subsequently decided to incorporate the model's ignominious fate by saying that he (I!!!) had died and been converted into a rather chatty servo-skull. That leaves me room to create a new Legio mini-me, which I plan to do soon. Anyhoo, the techniques and outcomes I plan to use for this kill team will help me when I work on my new Legio mini-me. And if this inspires you to create your own Legio mini-me, I advise you to wait a little bit. We're working on something that will (hopefully) happen SoonTM, so you shouldn't have to wait too long.

No worries! Here we go: https://bolterandchainsword.com/articles.html/tutorials/scratch-building-astartes-servo-arms-r33/ A quick tutorial for making the basic structure.

I’m almost clear of the Nurgle taint.

Here are some more photos and the variant "Named" Character

A tutorial would be great if you feel up to making one. I have a few miniatures in the backlog that could/will probably get machinator arrays replaced with servo arms when they become active projects. The more sources of awesome kit bash examples like this the better.

Thanks both! The technique has worked well with infantry so far. Still need more practice…or to not look at them too close up. The stippling/dry brushing has to be done a little differently on the smaller, curved surfaces.

The test model looks good. The highlighting you’ve got is effective while keeping it clear that it’s black and not a dark metallic. The red, the crest in particular, could maybe use with another lighter highlight to help the details pop. From the photo it doesn’t seem that there’s much differentiation between the red base and the red highlight. Or the wash didn’t darken enough before the final highlight. I don’t know that any changes would even be noticeable from a couple of feet away - so it’s a minor observation.

I keep spelling "Khalkotauroi" incorrectly. Another change - the Fist of Purity member will be the alternate sergeant (equipped with a Deathwatch boltgun and power weapon [sword]). So I'm changing the "fist" member in this initial group to some other Chapter, a new DIY that I have to work on. Assembly of the initial six members begins today. Since I've changed the Sergeants around and didn't assemble the storm bolter warrior's bits, I'll have to rearrange the bits and collect some new ones. I'll try to post pictures as soon as I get them all assembled.

I definitely appreciate that offer, but there won't be any Exorcists battle-brothers in this kill team. If I ever get around to a proper Exorcists army/kill team, however, I may take you up on that offer (since you and I both know that the Exorcists are the greatest Chapter ever ). In other news, I've decided to move Chapters around a bit. The Veteran Sergeant will be from the Khalkotouri Chapter since the thunder hammer is more in keeping with my concept of that DIY Chapter and less appropriate for the Fists of Purity Chapter. The Fists of Purity veteran, then, will become a Warrior. I may swap one of the [Warrior] shotguns for a boltgun option (either the Deathwatch boltgun and power weapon or the Stalker pattern boltgun). I really wish the Deathwatch still had the boltgun/chainsword combination that was allowed when they first appeared in the Chapter Approved article back in 3rd edition. That would be so much more in keeping with both our name and lore. I guess the Intercessors offer the next best thing, so I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever do a Primaris version of this kill team.

ohhhh nice idea Fallout Hobbies

You went on your honeymoon , tried to blog about it, got distracted by Warhammer stores near your hotel , and ended up planning a side trip to Nottingham for Warhammer World ? Sir, I think we’ve just found your first marital negotiation of many. But seriously — mixing a romantic getaway with a pilgrimage to the holy grail of miniatures? Bold move. Respect.

To think I'd never seen that painting chart before. What a great guide! Sure, I've got the standard colours of my army sorted but if I want to paint something else, I know where I'll be turning to. Thank you.

Thank you. I appreciate that. I love the setting, I really do. But, I've always seen the lore as a guide. Given the vast expanse of worlds the Imperium covers, it cannot be held monolith. Take the variety of Imperial Guard regiments, for example, or the vast difference in dogma and paths Inquisitors take. I enjoy writing about characters and the setting gives so, so many options for it. Regarding language, anyone who's followed the setting for some time will have seen their fair share of Pig Latin. Thought I'd tap into my roots and do something a little different. I do plan on making some character conversions for my main characters; the narrator, Jagiełło, Mona, Laska, and The Fennec. I am looking forward to it!

I just bought it, haven't played since it was a new release....

You also seem to be missing Rogue Trader, which is lot of fun - its a tactical RPG type game, though not strictly "table top" 40K. Another is Battle Sector, which is kind of your traditional 3/4 top down turn based tactical 40K game, updated to the current 40K with things like primaris, etc. To be fair, it could be on your list, but just cut off at the top. There is also Sanctus Reach, which is similar to Battlesector but a bit older of a game and centres around space wolves instead of blood angels. As well, I seem to recall it being pre-primaris in regard to unit types, but that might not be correct. Another of this genre, which I haven't played and looks to have more retro graphics, is Armageddon. And, obviously, there is now a Space Marine II, which I haven't played. Another game I haven't played is Space Hulk Tactics, or Space Hulk: Deathwing - and Chaos Gate Demonhunters. And yet another I haven't played is Necromunda: Underhive, though it, like Rogue Trader, aren't strictly 40K as in the tabletop, though. Another in the wider 40K setting is Battlefleet Gothic 2 (and 1), though I haven't played those either. I have, however, played Necromunda: Hired Gun, though the machine can't really handle the graphics. In short, there are a lot of 40K related video games, even just on steam. I may be able to dig up a few more if I look at my own steam list...

Looking forward to seeing the end result! The trim is a pain, but I've started cheating by spraying the rubrics metallic, then filling in the panels with my armour colour, and it's all contrasts for my Tzaangor!

The team takes shape... (left to right: Hon. Br. Adámastos, Vet. Br. Pyrisous, Sanctifier Skeptukhos, Vet. Br. Megasthenes, Lexicanium Vrotoktónus, and Vet. Br. Oplophoris) Before any paint touches these guys, I need to go through another round of filing/trimming, and that icon definitely needs to be fixed.

I am rather confident. First I paked everything with care. Second it went quite fine last time we moved in the other direction. Yet it is sure I did not had all these AdMechies spiky bits last time... I am eventually more concerned by my "other" collections: 200 bottles of wine. What's one may call a heavy load...

I hope everything makes it to your new home safely. I know when I moved or had the previous house remodeled, the added stress out over my models, move, demo and reconstruction did not help the stress I was already under. Cant wait to see no place

Now that's a tempting fix, I think I've ended up with spare barrels

Yeah, barrel drilling can cause some headaches. Should be an easy enough fix, though, either with a little greenstuff or, like I did after messing up the barrels on one of my Terminators, snipping it off completely and gluing a new barrel on instead!

Thank you so very much for your input! I understand your hesitation & I’m very grateful for your input as it does give me a number of things to ruminate on. Part of the reason for the way this has been made is to try to fit in with the grimdark themes of 40K, where even the good guys are still somewhat villainous & good deeds often lead to terrible consequences. It’s a bit difficult for me to write as my attention span is difficult to maintain & I’m a very traditional “good always triumphs” type person (I also can’t always put things into the correct/understandable wording). Part of the reason for the regulation of religion has to do with the dangers of Genestealer cults (who I honestly need to do more research on) whose sole purpose is to infiltrate worlds & corrupt the populace. I haven’t written it yet, but I have also been formulating the idea of a library where tomes of other religions are kept & are open to the public, that they may read about other religious beliefs to better prepare themselves against ideals that are contradictory to the Word of God. You are right about the POW section as I should have written more about it rather than give it a sentence in passing. The idea of executing POWs who refuse to convert is less about “convert or die” & is more supposed to be for those who won’t convert, but may not be able to return to their former lives as being held prisoner by my faction may be treated the same as exposure to warp corruption. Their faith in their own faction’s ideology is too strong for them to simply throw it away, but returning home will most likely result in some form of twisted punishment (dreadnoughts, arco-flagellants & servitors to name a few), so the idea is more that my faction offers them the choice to be executed with honor rather than suffer whatever horrible consequences their own faction may inflict upon them. My faction views it as merciful, but it is also a choice that only the prisoners can make for themselves. Once again, I’d like to thank you so very much for your input. Criticism such as this really does help me to think more critically about this & better helps me to be a better storyteller & Christian. It’s also comforting to know that I’m not the only Christian in this hobby (or on this site). God bless you!

This may help mate from this article way back in 2018: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/JAcksor8/the-model-photograph/

While I've always tried to strike a balance between cordial, respectful and productive feedback on one end, while also being honest about my opinions and maybe even challenge others' (as that is what I want from others. Within reason, of course), I know I've misstepped a few times over the years. And while I personally miss some of the passionate discussions that used to take place in the Liber, I also think it's good to be reminded from time to time that this site is about helping each other enjoy the hobby. So, thanks for the reminder. Also: More brown marines!

Thanks, I am trying to go for 2k as of right now, Maby more once I get to that. My goal once I get good at painting is to get some Horus Heresy and some Death Korps of Krieg then jump back into Black Templars.

What can I say? May the Emperor bless you and your wife and daughter. Considering Apothecary, how much point you think it should cost?

Haha, and this is why I am glad I don't have kids. They're like a bunch of little Nurglings running around. Hope you're feeling better soon, mate!

Looking Good, @Brother Tyler

Sweet, I cant wait see you take as well.

My local gw. Spent far too much of my youth there. Sadly its not what it used to be. This may have been one of the first GWs outside of England.

Interesting star.t Looking forward to more, mate. :)

Have them both and definitely use them. Thanks Grot! Thanks for the advice @Bouargh

I appreciate the kind words! That's an interesting method, I'll have to give it a shot (pun intended).
