Hey Everyone here's my latest battle with a fellow SOH player. This was a tough fought game as my dice went really really cold.

 

I've been working hard on my tournament army which I'm putting the last details on now so look forwarded to that very soon.

Retribution cometh for the traitor woresons!

My list is horrible, and I plan on having fun with it msn-wink.gif

Well since I'll be playing loyalist I will have to agree (this time anyway devil.gif)

I'm pretty confident with my list its more my generalship that I question; that was only my fifth game and next Saturday I'll fit 5 games into a single day.

Well tomorrow is my first tournament and I'm getting really pumped. So due to my event tomorrow I've had to paint, and paint some more recently.

Rhino:

Just a temporary normal Metal Box, great for Transportation and giving up first blood needs.

This is now my second Veteran squad which will always be snipers.

Apothecary:

Painting this guy made me realize how much I hate painting white, but for being a kitbash I'm pretty happy.

The Legion Grows....

All that's left on my bench is a Naigator, Master of Signal and 10 Tactical marines, but there will be some new additons to the legion in a month or two.


Oh and while on topic of the tournament here is what I'll be bringing, hopefully my dice rolls will be much better unlike my last game out laugh.png.

Well, I'll post tournament details over the next week or so, hopefully I'll have something good to report.

Hey everyone, I just got a chance to sit down.

Well as Skimask reported I finished 3rd 5 points behind Skimask for second which we would have tied for except for Sevatar making a 12 inch charge to contest an objective. I was dumbfounded that that happened and it was pretty funny, I had already lost first place by that point so it doesn't really bother me that much; if anything it just adds to Sevatar's resume against me.

So I went 3-1 with 2 major wins 1 minor win and a major loss. Overall I was very happy with my list. The fail unit was my terminators; they did nothing but die all 4 games it was pretty sickening after awhile. My Javelins were ace, one took out a full HP jinking fire raptor in one turn it was awesome; they contensted objectives all day and caused murder or vehicles all day.

Loken is great too, his I6 is just nasty, itjust a shame he didn't return to the Warmaster's side" le sigh". I had Loken kill an enemy WL with instant kill and cut through Terminators and Veterans like a boss.

I also took 2nd place for Coolest Army so that was a nice surprise as well.

Best of luck Stricken , I watched a battle report with you in it , you seem like a chill dude , I hope you not only have a great time but that you win a lot of games


Thanks Bladewolf I try to be msn-wink.gif. I did have a good time some really funny moments; highlight game was against Skimask (like all of games since they're always sooo close) our armies just wiped unit after unit off the board it was very funny.

Hey Everyone,

 

I have a shameless plug for my latest Battle Report. I've taken a bit of time off from painting but my overseas order should be here within the next week and a half so the legion will grow again...

 

I'll post some pictures shortly as I start to ramp up production at the forge again; until then, please enjoy my latest battle in the Warmaster's name.

 

Nice little report. Great looking armies.

Thank you.

Awesome! Keep it up!

Oh I will msn-wink.gif.

So my order came in yesterday and now I will be joining ETL very shortly, I just have to add up all my points but I did want to give a sneak peak of my Justaerin Contemptor Dreadnaught, and a few extra surprises if you can spot them.

Well not many "new" photos right now but I have been busy lately so I haven't had a chance to take any but I will be updating soon; in fact I will be retaking numerous photos because yesterday I got some etched brass and the new Transfer sheet in and they are sweet.

 

Here is my Justaerin Contemptor Dreadnaught; he has yet to be named but he WILL receive one due to his first game (See below).

Laser Vindicator - The Barrel didn't come out so well due to be a recast but I wont complain due to the price.

MOAR JUSTAERIN -Because there is no such thing as too many Justaerin

New Transfer

And finally here is my latest battle, I wasn't able to do the post game show due to time (past 1200 am and had to do the kids to school thing in the morning) - It was a very close game and I learned a horrible lesson concerning torrent weapons, My Reavers returned to being duds and the dice left me late in the game but it was really fun and I cant wait for a rematch.

Always good to see a fellow Sons of Horus army, as they seem thin on the ground nowadays with all the newer legions. Love that Justaerin Contemptor, great work.

Thank you

So a fairly large update; I haven't had much time lately so I've done what I could with my little down time.

Leviathan Dreadnaught:

Laser Vindicator:

(The gun barrel is a bit bent, I tried to fix it but ended up breaking it; I was lucky to get reattached so I counted my blessing by the dark gods)

Dreadnaught Drop Pod:

This has been done for awhile now just never got around to posting pics; I will most likely add Brass down the road

Also I've been going through my army an updating with brass and decals and these have really made the hobby fun again. I absolutely love the new Decals that we got as nearly every model is getting one; even if its only one of the "XVI".

Well next on the workbench is the deathstorm which is about 90% and the B@C Praetor which is about 80%. After that there not much left for my legion anymore, Only 10 tactical marines and then update the rest of my models. I was able to find 2 chaos land raiders I'm refitting as well as a mars pattern vindicator but after that........
