After seeing and lurking in Dragonlover's thread on lurking I though I'd try and motivate myself to start posting more, even if it's just a small update in this thread. So the main aim will be to show the progress as I paint my Loyalist Emperor's Children. Which will hopefully also stop me from getting distracted by other projects on hold. But we'll see how long I last with just the one. So onto a couple pictures. First up is my Leviathan I completed a couple months ago. I know it's not 'new' but it shows what is complete for the project so far. There is also some infantry but after trying Retributor Gold they've been moved back onto the paint table to be updated. I've also recently completed my Loyal Son the Praetor for the Legion. I couldn't resist the new Blood Angel Praetor, and thought, if the Blood Angels can use our Palatine blades, I'm going to claim the Praetors So what's currently receiving paint which shouldn't take too long to appear is the updated and expanded first Palatine, and Tactical Squad supporting a Primus Medicae. Then onto lots of support marines, while doing everything I can to avoid painting Drop Pods. So, back to lurking while painting.

Well I was going through the Sisters of Silence to see how many models I actually I have. Turns out I have 20 Sisters of Silence plus the Black Library Character. I did order another 5 Sisters of Silence. Plus I ordered some bits off of Etsy. First off was this I ordered 10 Heads I figured these would be great for my Raptora Bodygurad. Then I found these Cyber puppies!!!!! And since my Pursuer Cadre will be 5 models I needed 3 critters for the squad, and being Allies to my Raven Guard I had an idea Crows, Ravens close enough......the one on the ground will be added to my Remembracer's base too. So for my XIXth Legion- Raven Guard, I have been toying with an idea that fits in with the fluff of my Expeditionary Fleet and why my army differs compared to most Raven Guard. Let me explain the break down on my various Companies of my Raven Guard fleet. 23rd Assault Company- Assault Marines, Destroyers, Dark Furys, Land Speeders, Apothecaries, Counsel and Praetor with Jump Packs. 104th Heavy Assault Company- Deliverers, Cataphractii Terminators, LAnd Raiders Proteus and Spartans, and Characters in Cataphractii armor 307th Siege Company- Breachers and MKIII armored models and Characters in MKIII with some exceptions 501st Tactical Company- MK VI models Tacticals, Support and Heavy support. 909th Recon Company- Recon Marines, scouts, Mor Deythan 10th Armored Company- Tanks As I was planning my Master of Armor and starting to build him I really wanted a certain icon on him so I decided to I would add it to him. What was the icon.... Raptor Imperalis- also called the Raptora Imperialis, was an early icon employed by the Emperor of Mankind and his nascent Imperium of Man during the Unification Wars and the Great Crusade to represent the Imperial cause. Originally, this honour badge was only used by the proto-Astartes known as the Thunder Warriors, but would later be adopted by the genetically-enhanced regiments of the Excertus Imperialis and the early Terran-born Legiones Astartes as well. So that would make the individuals with this logo, Terran-Born......Which explains the large 15 man squad of Deliverers, different companies, and different fighting styles. Then the kicker By the time the Raven Lord took command of his Legion, the Great Crusade was over a century old. Corax was quick to impose the style of war he had perfected on Lycaeus over that which had come to define the XIXth Legion, melding stealth and guile with vigilance and swiftness. It was during these early years that much of the native demeanour of the old XIXth Legion, particularly the more cold-blooded ways of the Xeric tribes, was purged. The Legion had so often served in oppression, repression and occupation forces that Corax saw in some of the Terrans of his XIXth Legion something akin to the slavers of Lycaeus. Several of the Legion's highest-ranking officers were displaced or reassigned to non-command roles, including Lord Arkhas Fal, who had commanded the XIXth Legion as its Master for three decades before the coming of the Raven Lord. So My Crusade Fleet is made up of Terran Born Astartes along with my Remembracer being from Terra with the Sisters of Silence watching them to see if their loyalty is to the Emperor or Horus.

311782126_10160328616435797_5619210022339024935_n Real quick one as im knackered but im really happy with how my Knight Errant Sister came out, the concept being that she is either the last member of an Orphaned Vigil or perhaps a particularly grizzled Knight or Solo operative, either way she works alone, is armed to the teeth and perfectly willing to use it all :D That and i spotted the Vampire base mini had definite potential! It hasnt gone perfectly but my keen needed an outlet ;)

Afternoon all, I'm considering putting together an allied detachment of Sisters of Silence to join my Ultramarines in the near future. Still considering what I'd want to include model wise, but likely will include a squad in an Acquisitor. Problem is I really don't like the Acquisitor model. So in thinking of alternatives, I'm immediately drawn to the Impulsor as a basis for an Emperor's Gift style flying Rhino. Would anybody who owns both models mind posting a size comparison? And while we're at it, does anyone else have ideas to convert their own version?

Theyve produced a wee expansion to Wrath and Glory the 40k RPG bringing the Anathema Psykana into playable status. Even if you arent particularly interested, a couple of quid shows some interest to help out 40ks most neglected faction! And the art is cool! https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product_info.php?products_id=343894&fbclid=IwAR0TPypOcfKbAt7XMR_RtCEIzUHa9-2sfmqg8qC0zJ0TJ-9983vOy-KZ49Q

Evening all, It has been generations I would assume since I have been to this site with college and life taking my time I have had very little time to do anything with models...well that time is over and now I am turning my gaze upon the new prospects of conversion mining! My current project is to reposing and overhauling (somewhat) of the 40k Guilliman model, I wasn't exactly happy with many of its elements and think that it could have used a personal touch. So here I am! The updates may be few and far inbetween as I go back to doing college work and then focusing on the conversion, down the line I will be making a Custodes Strike Force with a Solar Auxilia force that has an attachment of Sisters and finally a primary detachment of Dark Angels when Book 8: Angelus is released. So to show a little off here is the base for the Guilliman conversion, will hopefully have some WIP's of the actual model within a week or two and inbetween that time I will have some Custodes. Enjoy for the time being!

Hello one and all!I've been in the hobby on and off for 16 something years and thought I'd make a thread for my endeavours in the ol' B&C. The Horus Heresy bandwagon hit me like a brick when it started and I've always had a soft spot for chemical warfare so picking a favourite legion was easy. I've been working on this true scale (Shoutout to Doghouse!) Death Guard army for about a year but never really bothered posting much about it. I'm aiming for about 2500 points and will see how far this leads me after that. There's lots of stuff in the works (tacticals, terminators, heavy support...) but this is all I've bothered taking pictures of at the moment. Less talk and more pics, right. First squad. http://i.imgur.com/rr9160U.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/gK1KOeJ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XxssMSh.jpg Pimped out ride and some sense of scale. The Rhino is based on a 1/35 M113 APC if someone is wondering. http://i.imgur.com/1q8rzZ7.jpg Praetor http://i.imgur.com/IWd88zX.jpg Consul http://i.imgur.com/CHQhxUo.jpg Imperial Space Marine http://i.imgur.com/8SKNLYS.jpg That's about it for now, will post more stuff soon as things progress. I hope you enjoy them and am happy to answer any questions, C&C is always appreciated. Cheers!

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/05/06/white-dwarf-news-and-a-previewgw-homepage-post-4/ Lets hope they include at least a few Tactics options as opposed to the Index Astartes update they got for 40k.

So with the new models for Valerian and Aleya arriving soon (February at the Weekender I believe?), what are people's thoughts on what we might expect rules-wise for each of them? 1) It seems to me that basing Valerian's statline off the Brother-Captain would make sense, but in terms of special rules? will his guardian spear just be regular, or will it be 'special' ? 2) Do people have thoughts on if Aleya should be an HQ or just a character-upgrade for a Sisters squad? 3) Do people think this is likely to tie-in to Psychic Awakening at all or remain entirely separate? (gosh if it does Sister's could do with an HQ upgrade...

Per Talons of the Emperor in War of the Spider I can take a SoS unit in a Custodes detachment without violating any of the Battle-forged bonuses etc. Does the SoS unit take up a org slot? I've been wanting to start a Valerian + Aleya army since the models came out but the rules mess has kept me away. I was hoping War of the Spider would clear thing up but it just seems like more of a mess. Also, I'm not a competitive player at all but I'd just like to have a legal Battle-forged army that I don't need my opponent's permission to use. This confused man thanks you in advance!
