Load?++ -No ++Loading Message++ My Lords, I am sorry to disturb the Inquisition in these perilious times, but our situation is truly dire. Arch-Magos Droykvic has miscalculated our chances. There is not much time. The Chamber of--------- I will not take an insult lightly. You are lucky I need you, Colonel Kashkov. We request immediate support, Inquisitor. I would have asked the Fabricator General of Paramar V, but I feel I should not draw unwanted eyes to our operation. I have already had enough trouble with the local "Governor", much less the "Skitarii" that guard the Manufactorum Complex. I can see the madness in their eyes. The scrapcode is in their very spirit. We will play along for now, and I will relish the chance to burn it all when all is said and done, in the Omnissiah's name. I also further add that I am unsure why I was sent here by, your Lordship... I specialise in Titans and siegecraft, yet this is a covert operation. --- Yes, Arch-Magos. Now, continuing from where I left off, my Lord, our outlook is not very good. As the Arch-Magos has already reported, the entire populace is corrupted. Never in my career have I ever seen such obvious signs of rot. Our troops' morale is low. Not even the Terrans are calm in this place. The Chamber of the Phoenix is approx. 430 kilometres from our current position. Based on the calculations of our Munitorum attaché, our scouts will reach it by mid Sept (for reference, the current date here is the 22nd of Tertius). The snowfall is heavy. Apart from myself, the Arch-Magos, and our retinues, no soldier has left the designated landing zone Our supplies should last us until we reach the Chamber. My Regiment has taken severe losses. During the covert landing, an asteroid hit bulk-lander "Aquilia's Rebirth", immediately destroying it. This has resulted in the loss of much of our support personnel and infantry, although our armoured forces have been spared. I thank the Emperor for that. Our forces are as follows: ++Message Corruption Detected.

So as a note beforehand. I am that type of person that has 12 different projects lying around in various stages. I am that type of person that can be used as an example: How to not buy into 40k. Pre brexit I was unsure what would happen so I sold one of my magic legacy decks and bought around 50 boxes. Of course over time I also had all these other impulses and my pile just keeps growing. But now, I have a date, 17th of september untill my custom made display case will be done. 210 cm high with shelves of 24 by 48 inch inside to fit the sector imperialis boards. With the time frame remaining, I am aiming to semi fill out 2 shelves. My mind scatters form wanting to paint Ultramarines, Vostroyans, Epic Iyanden/UM, Adeptus Titanicus,terrain (with necrons and adeptus custodes sitting on the maybe list). Yah thats to much I know . Anyhow, I will post pictures here of projects I am working on and will be finishing over time. Knowing myself, I know I want to touch up some older squads of models once I have the display case. Hence I most likely will pump out pictures at a higher rate around that time. I would like to get some Imperial Guard done before the display case arrives. (Only have a handfull of models painted right now) Maybe my mind gets tired of painting the same colours and I might finish something else in between. (longterm) Goal with the guard army is having at least 300 infantry models so I will need to settle on a TTQ army. I will aim to finish a 1000 point mechanized list before said date. This is my latest project. I am roughly on 95% with these 4 and need to finish 1 more. Its a very basic approach of a single layer primary colour and applying a heavy agrax earthshade to add depth over the model. All I have left are the lenses with 2 of these guys and do some shading on the mud of the bases once its dry. Im considering adding a couple of skulls and rocks to add a bit more depth to the base but nothing to fancy. For those wondering. The heads are from Wargames Atlantic. Its a pretty simply headswap with the DkoK. Only remark I can make is that you need to cut down the WA necks in a slightly diagonal way to make them fit better. Here is a little sidenote. As a Dutch person I am far more direct then the average person online. Its a culture thing that we don't like people dancing around the subject and just get to the point. I know everyone on forums is very respectfull when it comes to commenting someone his painted models. We all recognise that said person put a lot of time and love in getting whatever it is finished. So we are very carefyll not to insult said person. That said, please don't be afraid to give constructive critisism in terms of colour theory and such. I am very much open to criticism that I can work with and welcome it!

+++ Vostroyan 94th Battle Group +++ ++A hobby blog++ +++ Fluff +++ The Vostroyan 94th at the time of the opening of the great rift were assigned as an auxiliary defence force to Knight world [As yet unnamed]. Since the rift opened regular reinforcement from Vostroya has been spotty at best and so in order to maintain manpower, the 94th have been forced to press the abhuman underclass that makes up the world's peasantry into service. +++ League List and First Battle Report +++ Over the next few months I will be competing in a round robin league with the top finishers entering a single elimination bracket to determine a winner. The lists are fixed over that time and this is what I have decided to bring: ++ Brigade Detachment +9CP (Imperium - Astra Militarum) [70 PL, 1245pts] ++ Regiment: Vostroyan + Heavy Support + Armageddon Pattern Basilisk Armageddon Pattern Basilisk Cyclops Demolition Vehicle Cyclops Demolition Vehicle Manticore + Troops + Infantry Squad Plasma gun Infantry Squad Plasma gun Infantry Squad Plasma gun Infantry Squad Plasma gun Infantry Squad Infantry Squad + Fast Attack + Bane Wolf: Heavy Flamer, Track guards Rough Riders 2x Plasma Gun Rough Riders 2x Plasma Gun + HQ + Company Commander Bolt pistol, Grand Strategist, Warlord Company Commander Plasma pistol Company Commander Plasma pistol + Elites + Command Squad 4x Sniper Rifle Command Squad 3x Melta Gun Vox Platoon Commander The Dagger of Tu'Sakh ++ Battalion Detachment +3CP (Imperium - Astra Militarum) [46 PL, 755pts] ++ Regiment: Vostroyan + Heavy Support + Cyclops Demolition Vehicle Leman Russ Battle Tank Leman Russ Demolisher Track Guards + Troops + Infantry Squad Infantry Squad Infantry Squad + HQ + Primaris Psyker Nightshroud, Mental Fortitude Tank Commander Battle Cannon ++ Total: [116 PL, 2000pts] ++ +++ First Match+++ ++ Battalion Detachment ++ + HQ + Chaplain Inferno pistol, Jump Pack, The Angel's Wing (replaces jump pack) Librarian Dreadnought Quickening, Gift of Foresight, Wings of Sanguinus, Furioso fist, Meltagun, The Veritas Vitae, Warlord + Troops + Tactical Squad 5 Plasma Gun Power Fist Tactical Squad 10 Heavy Flamer Meltagun Tactical Squad 10 Multi Melta Plasma Gun + Heavy Support + Devastator Squad 2x Lascannons Missile Launcher Plasma Cannon Hellblaster Squad 5 ++ Vanguard Detachment++ + HQ + Librarian Unleash Rage, Shield of Sanguinius Jump Pack + Elites + Death Company 14 Jump Packs Various power weapons etc Reiver Squad 10 Terminator Assault Squad 5 Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields ++ Total: [113 PL, 2000pts] ++ My first game was against a Blood Angels list. We are using the Eternal War missions from chapter approved for the league and we ended up playing Roving Patrol. This is the mission where you only deploy a 1/3rd of your force and the rest enters play later. I split my force fairly into three parts, each with a smattering of artillery, tanks and infantry so no matter which 1/3rd I deployed, I would have the tools to deal with whatever Blood Angels appeared. The game swung very hard my way from the first instance as I won first turn and almost all of my army rolled onto the board and I was able to wipe out his starting 1/3rd almost to a man in my first shooting phase. This included his Warlord Librarian Dreadnought who got caught out by the melta squad and the rough riders appearing behind his screen. He then took his turn and only a couple of his units made it onto the board, effectively ending his chances of winning. We called it and the end of turn 4 after he had got his chance to actually use his captain smash and the accompanying death company to turn a squad of guardsmen into red mist. Feel slightly bad for this one as he was royally screwed over by his rolls. I think had I not killed his warlord turn one and his death company and terminators along with the librarian had gotten some turn one charges, the game could have been very different. As it was, they turned up piecemeal and were taken apart. Final Score: Vostroyan Victory, Blood Angels conceded.

General thread for my 30K Legio XVI The Luna Wolves Legio Mortis Mechanicum Taghmata Imperial Militia (Vostroyans rebranded) Solar Auxilia Knight House - Sexta Equites White power armour doesn't photograph well under artificial light I rebase all my marines to 25mm. Heads are a mixture of different legion upgrade packs and regular mk armour pattern helmets. Going to have to try to finish the bases of everything eventually too. I prefer Mk II armour with different helmets (White Scars upgrade pack in particular looks great) over the other armour Mks. Mk IV is second favourite. MK V from FW feels a bit ruined from the short squatting pose of one of the sculpts.
