Well bugger.
I've seen a release schedule for Combat Patrol and the Khorne stuff isn't due until April which means my package will be May. That's one plan ruined, okay not ruined but in need of some body work for sure.
So what's the plan now? I say to myself as I sit in Band On The Wall waiting for The Gomez show to start.
Well the Dread Filled Month is definitely on, thinking of March to April for that at the moment, oh which is this one. Ah okay old boxy defiler, another Redemptor Björn The Fell Handed, 3 Blood Angels Contemptors, a Helbrute and the Preator tank. Of those I'm potentially going to let the Redemptor slide as that's going to be be most work. If I get all that done probably start on the guard/Genestealer cult army. Although at this time that seems pretty unlikely.
As of the 9th of March I'm moving the legionaries squad to this Vow as unless I go "hardcore" this weekend I'm not going to get 10 minis with that level of trim done in 2 days, as well as the 5 Havocs I've already got started. As I'm looking at a building blitz {is it a blitz if it's building?} I'll plan to get the extra 5 Havocs built as well, then they will wait until the other big guys are finished.
Review Tine
The first bits finished this month were the Watchers in the Dark, I'm planning one for each squad but as I don't have that many I'm going to have to proxy a couple.
I finished the brass off and the base on the 8 of these, put one of the red butchers and the big Chaos Lord into the other squad, that Lord is bigger than the regular Chaos Terminators.
The not Harkan World Claimer is planned to be a jump pack Raptor squad leader, no I'm not doing 10 Raptors and 5 Warp Talons, I'm still still doing 5 Warp Talons, {too much trim} and 10 Heresy era jump pack Marines.
I've left this with just a Fang highlight as I like the idea of the glowing exhaust pipes, scream of the engines and the afterburner glow being the first thing you see as they descend from a night sky.
Björn The Betrayer and Space Kharne. Kharen is going into the Jakhals Squad when that finally lands. I gave her one of the spare Tartarus chain blades as a knife as I forgot to check the Orrlock and Enforceer bits for a pistol for her.
Björn the Betrayer, Breaker of 2 Legions, {still working on that saga} all I've done here is give the old metal Kharne the Betrayer the Greigor head and power pack. I'm a coin toss away from getting either the new version or the Heresy version and giving that the power fist. I'll decide when I'm down at Warhammer World. I'm really happy with how this has come out.
The Dark Apostle and Wolf Priest are both filling the same slot in this army.
The Dark Apostle got the head from the Wolf Priest and that was the only bit of conversion here.
The Wolf Priest was going to get the Dark Apostle head but I lost that and just found a hooded head to use instead. I like how this guy looks and might get another to actually paint up in the correct colours, oh, or use as an interrogator Chaplain... Okay keep that idea for later.
Everything is ready to start.
The squad got finished, they look okay and I'm happy with how they came out.
I used one of the Havocs to make this one, I used the Dane Axe left over from the Chaos Björn Chuck.
The Finecast Beliel.
A mate had asked if I had this guy 2023 ish and I'd boxed him with a load of Terminators bits, then moved those bits from one box to another and was still looking for the plastic box when they were in a cardboard box, I was actually looking for the land speeders I'd moved with the plan to add wheels to make them ATV proxies. I still haven't found the land speeders.
So on this guy, there's a metal storm bolter arm, to counter balance this, I've glued a penny into the base. The sword arm is a spare Tartarus arm and the sword came from the same box that Beliel was found in, the census on the watcher was also in this box while the watcher was in the main terminators bits box.
The 5 Havocs/Long Fangs, I got the Fang base coat and crimson wash done on all 5, with enough time to get 1 marine trimmed with the copper pen.
The Havoc squad. I didn't quite get them finished by bed time. So not finished.
