May your dice roll hotter than mine on its first sortie! :lol:

I like the GS work on the Bladeguard. It's a nice detail to set them apart from the stock model.

Well that's tomorrow, in a 4,000pt battle royale in horus heresy (because that thing's like 500pts in 40k so no thanks).

Thanks, I think it came out fairly well.

Been keeping up on the Raven Guard, getting more and more detail work done, Did the Phobos chest skulls and I did the Grenades. Did their bolters in Incubi darkness and grey knight steel a while back so I'm getting them closer to parade standard every day.

 

Did some work on my TH/SS Vanguard Veterans got them battle ready. Need to go back and do their eyes and start getting them more up to standard and I need to designate a sergeant. Now that marines are going to 2W each, part of me really wants to do some conversion on some assault intercessors to have TH/SS and Jump Pack.

I've begun painting my Horus Heresy stuff, and I will be Posting updates with pictures for that WIP project right now they're just sort of very dark grey. I'm currently do a dive on the new codex trying to get a feel fro what things do now. Got a couple of ideas, and it looks like my old list might still be workable, but with old marines being viable now, I might be moving back to drop pod tac squads.

 

Anyway the new codex gave me a lot of things to think about, but the backlog continues to exist and needs to get done, especially since HH is in stasis right now.

Alright, time for an update and I have pictures. I got some Carbine Reivers and a Phobos Captain. I also bought a 3D printer so there's going to be a ton of cool stuff that I'm doing with my Successor Chapter. I'm also branching out from running OG Raven Guard chapter tactics and instead running successor traits, and it looks like Born Heroes and Whirlwind of Rage are going to be my primary choices, and I'm going to be running a more melee focused list with vanguard vets, assault intercessors, and bladeguard. I'd be using Incursors too, to get near objectives and maybe get a turn one charge. Incursors and Plasma Inceptors would be my primary sources of shooting along with my trademark StormTalons and Invictor Warsuits.

 

Anyway enough of me prattling on, PICTURES!

I'll freely admit that the recent Goonhammer Tier list gave me some ideas, and some of those things I may have just straight copied. Still I think this list is still mine, since it makes use of a lot of units that I enjoy, and the Invictors and Stormtalons may not be winning choices, but I'm stubborn and playing units that I like is fun and that's what matters more to me than winning.

[Claws and Effect]

I'm not sold on storm shields on Captains anymore, to be honest. The only thing they really do for them is +1 to save rolls thanks to the 4++ being covered by the Iron Halo. Probably a good investment if you're expecting a lot of AP 0 or -1 coming in, but I'd almost rather give them some firepower instead.

That's fair, but I'm a sucker for WYSIWYG and he's modeled with a thunderhammer and storm shield because I wanted a really cool looking smash captain. I don't really even know what manner of weapon to give him either.
