Björn The Betrayer Fell Crusade

 

As I've nearly finished this central build of the army, with just the Ultramarines, 2 squads of Berzerkers, Mauler Fiend and Predator left to do from what's already been bought/is coming, what am I planning on adding to it?

I've already talked about 1 of the new Defilers for this, as well as a second squad of Jakhals, the only other things I'm thinking about in a serious way are Inner Circle Companions, with enough to make another 5 man veterans squad.

The next thing would probably be when the chaos bikers do get an upgrade would be a couple of squads of those just not sure how I'd paint them, plan A is White Scars and if the Helbrute gets another upgrade, add one of those to it. If Doom Rider comes back I might add that as well, but keep him in his own colours, story is the White Scars are the remains of the Kesig that was tasked with hunting Doom Rider, the unfortunate in the Dreadnought was the Khan that lost.

Beyond that, I'll wait for the Chaos Codex and World Eaters suppliment to come out. 

Jakhals And Lord On Juggernaut 5th of June 2026

 I finished these on Friday and got them packed away on Saturday. 

As I've said I'm seriously thinking about getting a second box of these and trying to get a more wolfen look to them.

I tried something a little differently with the brass on the Juggernaut with a balthazr gold base coat, the reikland flesh wash and brass scorpion. 

I built the honour guard on Saturday the 7th. Sunday I thought I might as well throw Tigrius in here as well, so built the one I got with Combat patrol. 

The Berzerkers were built around making a Vietnamese Curry during Sunday afternoon. 

Saved It

So after finding the blues I'm going to need next month for the fallen victrix honour guard I found some bugmans glow,

I gave these 3 a  not quite dry brush to cover up that failed green experiment and checking them in good light this morning, they look fine. 

Let's just hope I have the lenses, brushes and hand control to get those straps right tonight.

Tonight's objective was to get these to more or less the same point as the lord, which was a coat of Fang and a crimson wash, I gave the weapons, chains and stim tanks on their backs a black templare contrast coat. 

Both elements have a couple of things left to do, the big belt buckle and the icon both need a brass base coat as dose one paldron and a couple of masks and the lord's horns need a sepia wash. 

Plan A is to get those done first when I get home tomorrow, get the Russ gray layer on everything and then fenris grey, iron warrior, nuln oil and lead belcher on the weapons, chains and tanks before doing the brass bits. 

Jakhals and Lord On Juggernaut

 

I put the Jakhals together yesterday, along with the Lord on Juggernaut, with the plan to paint those week, the Berzerkers are planned for next weeks. The remaining squad of Berzerkers and mauler fiend are due next month, with another box of Jakhals planned for next month. 

The Jakhals kit itself is very good, and with the cad cam file there, could probably be turned into a Catachan squad pretty easily.

I'm planning to base coat them tonight, with 4 planned for wraith bone, 3 Dawn Stone and 3 moot green with a the plan to a contrast flesh coat before I call it a night.

Okay moot green did not work, I was hoping something I could pass off as Warp tainted chems and stims, but that looks really bad. I'll dig out some dwarf flesh to touch those 3 up tomorrow, but dawn stone grey and wraith bone both worked well. 

The plan is to do the leather in fang and crimson wash, shirts and pants will have a Leman Russ grey level, with the Greaves getting a Fenris grey coat to make them stand out

Onto the Lord on Juggernaut got The Fang base coat on as well as the crimson wash, finished just after 10pm tonight.

Tomorrow night and Thursday morning find the skin tone, get those 3 touched up, then Fang on the clothes of the Jakhals and crimson wash and the brass on the Juggernaut and rider.

 Thursday night getting the Leman Russ and Fenris grey on everything and weapons  which will leave bases to do and the Berzerkers to build for next week. 

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. 

Björn The Betrayer 

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.

I said that this morning, and of course the plan is now get another box of Jakhals and see if we can Wolf them up a bit. It's a nice kit actually, those CAD CAM courses have paid for themselves. 

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.
