XIX Chapter

For a blog that's meant to be about the XIX I do seem to have ignored them somewhat. Well these 4 pics go some way to redressing that balance. This is one of my Chosen squads fo the XIX. This one has a range of weapons taken from various models and sources, I am very happy with the ork chain sword on the 3rd picture and the twin bladed chain sword on the 2nd pic. There is a mix of combi weapons and twin linked bolters and flamers

Requesting Infomation

Does anyone know if Forge World are planning on doing all 3 types of the orginal Dread? Chuck, Eddy and Fury, I can't remember what the full design specifaction names where. Okay done some research on this now and you can make the Fury and the Chuck as it stands now, but as of this moment in time the missile launcher to make the Eddy is not an opition. I'll keep bugging Forge World on their Facebook page till I get an answer.

Damn you Forge World

When I some cash behind me, and finish my living room, my next buy was going to be the Forge World Iron Warrior Dreadnought with Assault Drill left arm and the Chain Fist right arm. the idea was to make it look like an early type Ironclad, reason being Iron Warriors where seige troops so they would have a line breaker Dreadnought.

Then I got the Forge World email on Friday and I've been looking at 'Chuck'(from an artical in the old red covered Compendium) every day since and thinking when I can I get that I want one, 2 power fists with some minor alterations and yes my ironclad will be a proper center piece. Plan is to switch out one of the lower 'fingers and replace that with a flamer nozzle and stick a drill bit in the recessed fist on that hand, and go with the storm bolter on the under the other arm and another drill bit in the central recess

Re worked Black Sisters part the second

The top image is of my HQ choices for this army on the left is my Slannesh Lady, this model is a minor conversion of the St. Celestine with an Empire Mattock, a Twin Linked Bolter and a Plasma Pistol, the Mattock is going to be a Daemon Waepon and the bolter does still have the 4 mags I was using when I was planning on running with this model as one of the missing Primarches,(let me know if you'd like to know more about that in a comment). The second model is an almost standard Serphim Sister Superor just with the old Dark Eldar Scourge winged jump pack insted of the fluted jump pack of the SoB, and this is my Sourceress

The bottom image, and not blurred for once!, is of the full painted strenght of this section of my army to date. As you can see it is very elite at the moment and I've only fought with the Chosen and the Sourceress so far and the Chosen tend to act like a fire magnet but they have taken out a Predator and a Land Raider and the squad that was traveling in the Land Raider as well before getting shot to pieces.

Re worked Black Sisters

Above we have the new colour scheme for the Black Sisterhood.

Top is one of the Sister of Battle Terminator Sqauds made from a collection of parts mostly Space Crusade Marine legs, being big and chunky, with a mix of weapons mostly from the Fantasy Chaos Warriors the top squad has a Heavy Flamer.

Second is the 2nd squad of Terminators, same mix of weapons, the 2 modles with skull shoulder pads denoate the squad champions.

The 3rd picture is of my Chosen squad, the champion is made from a Blood Bowl Amazon with 2 blades and a Sisters of Battle Flamer back pack, the 2nd modle is a standard metal Sister of Battle and the rest are made from Dark Eldar Wytches with Marine weapons

On a lighter note

Well as I mentioned yesterday i'm almost done on the army front, which is a bit of a downer as I now have no excuse not to finish my living room...

But I have found a copy of both the old Necromunda Rule book and Source book to keep my mind going. now plan A with these is to use them for small skirmish 40K games with elements of my collection in a terrian covered table top, so that means I have some terrian to build as well now which will be fun for me, after I've done my living room... I've been putting that job off for months now and am amlost ashemed of the amount of time it's taken me to get round to finishing it. Oh well got a big job to finish, but I will keep updating with books and other stuff as I go along.

Nearly Done

It's a bit of a sad moment for me today as I'm almost finished with this stage of my army. I've had a repaint of the Black Sisters to match the colour scheme on the St.Celestine model I'm using as the Lord choice. This paint job is rather basic but gives a good result, it's a base coat of Iyanden Darksun with a Liche Purple, very thin, wash and a contrast of Chaos Black on the chest, with the weapon picked out in a range of colours. Pictures to follow.
My next project is to finish off my Sanguinary Novitiate and then it's onto do my living room which is something I've been putting by doing this army.
