G'day Bolter n' Chainsword brothers. Slowly getting back into hobby-ing / wargaming, and I have heard the Horus Heresy gets back to some more classic roots of the game. Which I am finding more and more as a thumb through the rulebook. To help save from amounting a pile of shame, but to start putting together a list my experienced friends aren't going to initially steam-roll I was wondering if I could have some input to a little list I put together. I have a plan to escalate this to a 1500, 2000 and then 3000 list. Dark Angels - Loyalist HQ - 367 Praetor (Deathwing) Artificer Armour, Iron Halo, Bolt Pistol, Frag and Krak Grenades, Master of the Legion Terranic Greatsword, Volkite Charger, Seneschal of the Keys Deathwing Companion Detachment (Deathwing) Artificer Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol, Frag and Krak Grenades Deathwing Oathbearer Bolter, Terranic Greatsword, Refractor Field 2 Deathwing Companions Bolter, Terranic Greatsword 3 Deathwing Companions Calibanite Warblade, Cytheron Pattern Aegis Elites - 370 Contemptor Dreadnought (Dreadwing) Gravis Power Fist with built in Plasma Blaster, Volkite Dual-Culverin Dreadwing Interemptor Squad (Dreadwing) Bolt Pistol, Frag, Krak and Rad Grenades Interemptor Praefectus Artificer Armour, Plasma Burner, 2 Phosphex Bomb 4 Interemptors 3 Plasma Burners, 1 Plasma Incinerator Troops - 260 Tactical Squad (Stormwing) Bolter, Bolt Pistol, Frag and Krak Grenades Sergeant Artificer Armour, Power Weapon 9 Battle Brothers 1 Legion Vexilla Tactical Squad (Stormwing) Bolter, Bolt Pistol, Frag and Krak Grenades Sergeant Artificer Armour, Power Weapon 9 Battle Brothers 1 Legion Vexilla

Fellow hobbyists. A space marine is nothing without his bolter, as a project is nothing without a theme. This hobby log’s theme is the space hulk / crusade / mortalis, and the Imperial Fist marines I wish to squander in securing of it. I invoke these aforementioned words of power (space hulk et. al.) with caution and reverence, no true tenant of this sci-fi sub theme would do so lightly. I do so to tempt my fellow enthusiasts to show their hand and free their typing fingers on the subject. The seed for this project is a tasty christmas gift (from myself to myself as is my custom) which I here submit, this 6 x 4 zone mortalis To this I’m planning a companion army of an Imperial Fist boarding force, with a founding unit of breachers still on the workbench. This will be my first crack at painting yellow armour, so with my usual ignorance I’ve committed to a batch of 5 rather than a prototype – there’s always detol. An updated pic of this foundation unit to the force is imminent with a few days leave on the way J I’ve started this hobby blog with the duel intents of motivating myself along on this project and secondly canvassing the thoughts of fellow hobbyists. And with that in mind, I’m keen to hear what your favourite themed unit is for zone-mortalis? What units would you send into the hulk? Is a power fist the preeminent weapon of an imperial fist seconded into a space hulk? Cheers

Greetings, fraters! Here is my third video tutorial, "How to Weather Zone Mortalis Bases". My next video will be on how to paint and weather a Dreadnought Drop Pod from start to finish. Next Saturday (if everything goes well): how to prime the Drop Pod and do a rust undercoat, in preparation for chipping effects. I am not a commission painter or youtuber. I am just making the videos which I would have liked to have when I started. If you have any requests for future videos, please let me know. Regards, Lovecraft0110
