So I'm starting this as a basic catch all for Black Legion players, including myself. I have a bad habit of always using Abaddon. I have other bad habits from playing this game for decades... which include, but are not limited to: Cool characters (tougher in 9th), Terminators! (better in 9th?), and aggressive tactics (better in 9th?) So let's band together under the banner of the Warmaster, and see what we can muster. I have played two 9th edition test games with Black Legion. (More with other chaos, but let's leave that out.) So what I'd like to discuss is our gaming feedback, and our 'unit' feedback. I am playing another game tonight. And due to all of my other 9th ed test games, I have decided to move away from some of my favourite elements of 8th (Vigilus Possessed, Daemon Engines, etc).... at least for the time being. And refocus on the following: Battalion + Supreme Command. (12 CP). Abaddon (I believe) should be a legal choice for the Supreme Command. Other units I feel I'm getting a grip on: - Helbrutes, (generally) and Helbrutes with Plasma Cannons (even more so- this is pre points bump for 9th though.) - I'm still down on our troops, but will be trying pure Cultists as a tax. - Staying under 6 man squads wherever possible. - Using smaller elite squads (Possessed= yes, over 5 models = no) - Heldrake. Maybe it's not a superstar, but it should be able to contest, prevent 'actions', and tie up tanks/Fly units. (Tau still rip through mine though.) - Terminators. Plasma (non-modified rolls of 1 blow up?) and body guards are necessary. - Oblits. It just makes sense to include with a very expensive Warlord in the mix. The rest is up in the air, but tonight I will be trying some possessed, and a very basic list made to challenge table ownership. Wish me luck, we'll see how it goes!

So as some of you may or may not know I paint a lot of armies. I pride myself on completing armies, not just models. And this has lead to a lot of 'painting fatigue' but fun moments in tournaments or otherwise where it can be great to have a lot of choices. (I'm working on Eldar right now) Most of this stuff is from the past year til the present. It might be in 'wip' form at my blog, but I'll put a fair amount of completed pictures here. I'd like to start off with one of the funnest projects I had this year from Chaos which was the Chaos Knights codex and kits. Love this "Tyrant" in game. He's not the most competitive option but can't be ignored. He's basically a giant Wal-mart from hell with a Harpoon! I got to move away from doing very clean models and getting back to a lot of old weathering techniques which seems to really suit this army. .... These boots were made for stompin'.... And Next up I did a pair of "Helverins" or Wardogs with Autocannons. Simple design, but they fit in with the big guy. The family together for their first game. Here is my Loyalist version of the Helverins and a Preceptor wailing away on fish people! As I post this I am working on a Chaos version of the Preceptor model pictured above. Interestingly enough their main weapons are quite different. The Chaos variant is only D3 shots which makes him a terrible competitive choice, but I'm looking forward to painting him anyway, just the complete the set. Thanks for looking. More to come.

Hope your Everchosen contests are going well. Here was an entry at our Warhammer Store (in Hong Kong, what I jokingly call the older brother to the famous 500th Store). NOT MINE, but I hope you see why I'm posting it here: So at 1st, ok, beautiful highlights and shading, non-metallic metal. Then we looked at his cape and loincloth and noticed he freehand painted those designs. And then...we looked at the back of the model, and I apologise for my hand shaking as I took this photo: The centre depicts, we believe, the bridge of his/Horus's flagship, The Vengeful Spirit. Beyond the technical virtuosity of this painting, it's just this idea like he teleported directly from there and the little tear in the space-time continuum persisted as he exited, and you see a rippling image of where he came from, depicted on his wavering cape. Here's the best part of the story: the painter is a mystery to us. Perhaps your Warhammer Store/FLGS experience is similar to ours...you pretty much "know" everyone. Even if you don't remember their 1st names, you recognise the guys, "oh yeah, him, with the face and the neckbeard." We don't know this dude, word is he was just some random who dropped off the mini, then walked away. Being in Hong Kong, we have nicknamed him "Akuma", like the Street Fighter character. Because he just appears and destroys the final boss, the Raging Daemon of Hong Kong.

Hello fellow Frater, I've been away from these hallowed halls for a while but following the Horus Heresy 2.0 release, I'm now more firmly in love with our hobby than I think I ever have been. I've been building a Blood Angels force for years but have decided to dabble with some more heretical marines for my latest project. LUPERCAL! For the Warmaster. I've always liked the 40k Abaddon model but never had a reason to get it until now. I'm in the process of trying to make my version of a 30k Abaddon.
