11th Edition Plans.

 

Big Plans For 11th Edition? 

Not really. 

The Lion's Blades. 

Need to find the box with the outriders in and see how many squads I have,{3 squads of 6 bikers} plan A is add a 3 of the new land speeders for now and get the Astartes Codex and Dark Angels suppliment when they get released. If there's a limited edition box released for the Ravenwing then maybe get that as well. 

So the plan would be 3 squads of 3 bikers backed by ATVs with 3 squads of 3 bikers backed by the 3 Land Speeders, there's a Storm Speeder and a Vengeance Speeder and a Nephalim fighter, with a second still on sprue, then have a fight with my mates Speed Waaargh.

I'll probably pick up the Chaos and World Eaters codex and suppliment when released but outside of the new Defiler I've got everything bar the last Hatchette package for this army, plan A is to build the 2nd Berzerker squad and Jakhals today.

Oh yes, the Ultramarines stuff for this arrived on Saturday for that Veterans Squad. 

The Terra Australis Chi visionem faciens 

The last bits for this arrived on Saturday, with the Ultramarines stuff, so once the Björn stuff is finished I'll make a start on this one. As I bought the Necromunda Cutters I need a flyer for Jet Girl. I'm saving and browsing the GW site for plane

Pŵer a Dŵr Genestealer Cult army

Plan A once the tanks are done will be start on the, Tank Girl film inspired, Power and Water Genestealer Cult army. I'd need to get the Codex to see what I can pull in from the Guard Codex.

This is how my brain works in real time, as I've been writing this out I remembered the 20 or so Guard minis I have knocking around from the 72nd Shadow Highlanders and was thinking about them, the Combat Patrol and the spare Dorn tank, so it's Pŵer a Dŵr Army with a side order of Genestealer Cult.

Harlequins and Exodite Army

If the rumours of Exodites getting a kill team are true then yes at some point Grandfather Telvig's Army will possibly get a revisit, but as it is no information means no plans beyond the Warp Spider Pheonix Lord.

So that's the army plans. 

There's a Satanine box of power armour untouched apart from the Satanine stuff, so might think about a Heresy Era project when I'm winding down a bit. 

The Lion's Blades will want the new scale Cattaphrattii and Tartarus suits, when Tartarus get released, that's not a rush. 

I think that covers my current state of play.

The 11th Edition tag is so I can find this in 3 years and see how badly I missed the target 

Finished Ish

The Wulfen Obliteraters are on pause until I get around to building Commissar Greaves RSV, so I can give them some height. 

 I finally got this one finished. It really surprised me how well this was made.

It's still fugly but after building one, I rather like it. 

First Steps For The Commissar

 The head is optional at this point, but the power fist and bolt pistol have to stay.

The rocket bra idea actually worked better than I thought it would. I'm going to have to pack them both in some custom foam when they're done and keep some superglue handy to fix them, or get some tiny magnets. 

Björn The Betrayer And Tank Girl Tank Army

 Work has been hectic this week, once home I'm just a bit burnt out and not hitting the Obliteraters. I mean green stuff is a pain in the arse to work with time wise.

Plan A is to get some height on the base on Saturday, and start painting on Sunday. Hopefully the Hatchette package will be at the post office this weekend which means I can get the Jakhals started and Lord on Juggernaut. The last package arriving in June is Berzerkers and the Mauler Fiend, which bar the predator will see this army finished.

My next project is the Tank Girl inspired Tank Battalion. I have 3 boxes of the armageddon tank battalion and 2 Commissar Greaves Centaurs.

The plan for these 2 is Commissar Tank Girl for one. I have the Eshar Gang box, an Ork rocket rack with 4 rockets so I can do both versions, tank mounted and on foot. 

The second one is planned to be used for heavy weapon platoon so they can shoot out. The other 3 Centaurs are going to be veteran squads, guard, mixed with Orlocks and Esher gangers. 

There's 4 Rogal Dorn tanks, so one is being promoted to HQ, I'm thinking of moving one of the Dorn Tanks to the following Imperial Guard and using the Leman Russ and Malcador tanks, with a 3rd Russ to make a squadron of 3 

So yes, plan A didn't quit work out as the Obliteraters don't yet have any height but I finish early in the morning and can make a start on that. 

Although I did get some paint on them tonight, one is totally Wraithbone, one has dawns tone on the flesh and one has me pheston red on the exposed skin, all 3 had the flesh tone contrast painted over it with the wraithbone and dawns tone looking good, the mepsheton I again need to see it in normal lighting, but I don't think I'll use that again. 

Also I made a start on my Astra Militarum counts as Commissar Greaves on foot. 

Need some file work to hollow out the rocket bases where they'll fit to her chest, need the power fist and will have to check what pistol she's packing so I can make sure she's at least armed correctly. 

19/05/25 Obliteraters

 

They'll look great when they're finished, but this is the part I really don't like with green stuff, the fact it takes ages for it to set. 

So tonight I green stuffed the heads to the bodies, adding some fur details over some of the bare skin on the rat Oger bodies.

I'm going to pull some bits out of boxes to find something they can stand on, the cow catcher on the Greaves Centaur is plan A for 2 of them, the 3rd might get a dead body or some other armour plates.

Obliteraters

 

While locked in my brain loop of not being able to start the Guard army, I did at least make a start on the Obliteraters for the regular Chaos side of the army. 

So at work tonight I brought them with me to get the weapons them. Plenty of green stuff used to mount the weapons. 

The Thunder Wolf heads work so much better, and the reason for these guys having bigger heads is you need more of a brain to fire weapons than you do to charge in and smack the opposition with your sword arms. I did forget the glue, so will glue heads tomorrow and once dry, mount on the bodies. The 2 Commissar Greaves Centaurs are due Wednesday / Thursday, so hopefully I can use the spare decoration to stand these guys on to give them some height. 

Change Of Priorities

 You know how it goes in this hobby, you make a plan and then something new and shiny comes along and distracts you.

You think on it and decided to dive into the idiot rabbit hole and do a for the giggles army. For the avoidance of doubt this plan has already changed twice since I started writing this post. 

So yes I got everything together for a bragging post. The Russ was bought for a defunct Necromunda game and was already slightly a joke when I got it, I shared it with the hobby chat group and the conversation spun my brain up. 

The yearly plan has stayed over all the same, seeing what's in the 11th edition box I'm okay with literally skipping the box and I've already spent that money on three boxes of the Astra Militarum Tank Battalion, which I'm going to focus on a tank heavy period, with guard and Genestealer cult units to give me a break from big stuff.

I'm getting an Escher Gang box with the plan to build a few to look as Tank Girl as possible 

With a plan to sack off Commissar Greaves and use the rocket bra Tank Girl as a proxy with as close to the weapons as I can get from the various sprues in my house. I just need a couple of rockets and an Escher box... 

The Björn Brutalis Dread is still a thing that's going to happen, I still need to do the lightning claws for the Assault terminators as well as the Deff Dredd for the Orks.

With the Hatchette subscription finishing in June by my maths, I'm looking at the second half of the year being tanks and Guard and Genestealer cult with the rule book to buy.
