Yea, axe all the way on that! 

[Rhavien]

Another one for the axe. Looks totally suitable for the bad boy.

[WrathOfTheLion]

I like the axe better than the swords shown if doing that kind of pose with it.

 

I'd've liked the sword better if he was just holding it like an officer might.

[CommDante]

If axes were in a more competitive place, I'd kit everything I could with them.  I love a big axe head chopping through all of the imperiums foes.

I think they're decently competitive - death guard/gravis need S6 to wound them on a 2+, any better than ap-2 is wasted against storm shields in a mirror match.

Also Bikes and Custodes.

• Lieutenant in Reiver Armour

I managed to get my hands on a Piety and Pain box when they went back on release last week. The Drukhari half is earmarked for someone in the club, and my initial only real interest in it was to get my hands on the Immolator, to turn it into a Blood Angels OTT stained glass monstrosity to go with my gold Land Raider, but looking at the models...they're so nice it's tempting to keep the Retributors, maybe use them as a Devastator squad?

New Unit of the Week entry:

• Heavy Intercessor Squad

[Rhavien]

Ordered a chaplain on bike and a box of bladeguards. Though it's a shame that the bike chaplain is better than Astorath he is such a cool model and was finally available at my preferred shop.

First drafts of the HI sarge:

What do you think?

Go axe but leave the hand attached to it and have bone and blood exposed on it...like he ripped it off a foe Chewbacca style.

Aaaaahhhh... too morbid for me :D

Already did the guy. With axe. Without the extra hand

[keeblerartillery]

Where’s the axe from?!

This is fantastic! Ditto to the question of the axes origin.

[Majkhel]

Glad you like him! :)
Axe comes from the Tartaros Terminators Power Axe set. Extended handle is from a Necron Lychguard sword.

Someone let me read the codex yesterday and boy is this way more confusing now. I must be getting old.

[The Unseen]

 

Finished up these choppy lads today. Getting close to having a fully painted 2k army, which is mind-blowing for me. Guess Covid has had exactly 1 upside.

Nah, it's not your age, 9th ed is generally very complex. The rules, at their core, are actually pretty simple, but the Codexes make things extremely complicated, with a lot to remember. 

 

I consider myself 'good' at the game, yet constantly forget key rules in my favour. It's now a memory game.

Is that not a balancing mechanic for the new players vs the old hands though? Those GW game designers are cleverer than a skaven on warp dust...!

Blood Angel Assault Squad.

[Rhavien]

May I ask what was confusing? The wording for special weapon allowance?

[Leonaides]

Grumpy Old Senior Scout Company Sergeant is forced into a temporary promotion to captain. Minimal gold at this time as he isnt planning on staying there, just wants to get back to teaching scouts, but Company heraldry and a couple of gold hints here and there as a concession to his new (and hopefully temporary) position...

And Terminator Librarian, after a bit of a shade touch-up and rebase from the dreaded Goblin Green/green flock... He's a bit less cartoony now, and a few little touch-ups here and there still to go. Just need to track down his storm bolter or the storm shield i was going to swap it for and get them magnetised.
