Tech Heresy

With this post I submit my application to the Dark Mechanicus, Oldhammers may consider this post a bit of a horror story as an old Razorback turret is about to get pulled apart.
My lucky find of the Spartan came with a the Razorback las cannon twin linked plasma gun turret

Now I plan to convert this up to be a Redeemed so I need to get the Flame Storm cannons out of storage and magnetise them to the sponsons, look for that this week. Over the weekend I took the turret and broke it down, barrels off, gunner off and I filed the hatch edges down and got them seated nicely
.
Next step is to get a couple of assault cannons and fit then onto the turret for the Redeemer.
As the las cannons are already maged I will swop out this turret with a Razorback heavy bolter turret if I want to run this as a standard Raider.

THE RAVEN LORD

Descending from the dark skies unseen, and striking without warning, Corvus Corax – Primarch of the Raven Guard – joins the battle!The latest model to join the Horus Heresy Character Series, Corax as exceptionally detailed; with unique armour, deadly weapons and his incredible winged jump pack. Standing at 120mm tall to the tips of his pinions, he’s the tallest Primarch created so far!

Not only has Corax arrived today, he’s joined by the Raven Guard’s Dark Fury Assault Squad, an elite unit of winged executioners that conduct focussed strikes on enemy leaders whilst the carnage of battle rages around them.

CORVUS CORAX, PRIMARCH OF THE RAVEN GUARD

And lets not forget today is also Roy
Batty's Incept Day
... More stocked for this than Octobers Back To The Future day.

First Paint Job Of The Year

I started my painting list for this year today with a Dark Eldar Wytch, Berserker Champion, Plague Marine and Waywatcher.

The Waywatcher is going into the Exodites in the Rangers. The Wytch is going into the Mime Troupe The League Of Shadows.

The Waywatchers has the ghost look I'm after and will be joining the Rangers as the current Jussi Nietos. The Mime is the last one which takes that Troupe to 12 and leaves me 3 short of the 150 "boots on the ground".

The Plague Marine is going into an Assault Squad as a Veteran Sgt and the Berserker Champion is going into the Knights Of Blood again as an Sgt, just not sure of what type of squad.


Had to spend some time going back over my old photos to make sure that the colours match as it's been a while since I last painted any marines for The Lion's Blades, went with the red on the mask and tubes.


The zerker Champion follows my colours for the Knights of Blood even so far as going to the give the black a light ironbreaker dry brush.

Establishing A Base Line

One of the goals this year is to paint up some more of my Knight Of Blood and to see how badly I do at that I dug out the current strength of this army, and the poor photos we just haven't had decent light in over a month here.
So as I have mentioned I plan to run these guys as both a Blood Angel army and a Codex Space Marine army, for the C:SM side I plan to use either the Raven Guard Chapter Tactic or the Charchadon Chapter Tactic depending on who lets me get away with what, and I'm thinking about picking up this Flesh Tearers Codex that has come out if there's a print version or just 'vanilla BA' for the other side.
My starting point;

Storm Talons and Baal Predator, I plan to come up with a bit of background as to why there are a few of The Glorious 1000 bits of equipment in this army.

Storm Raven.

Dreadnoughts... I have another one to build but I'm waiting until I get another of the Bjórn The Fell Handed kits to build a 2nd Death Company dread with Murderfang claw's. Obviously the Ironclad are for the C:SM side of this army and the one with 2 hk missiles is the one I made with lots of options

HQ, Asteroph, librarian in Terminator armour, Furioso Librarian Dreadnought, Company Master Jacob Kell in Terminator armour, counts as Tiberous The Red Wake ( still plan to get a squad of World Eaters Red Butchers for the lightning claw Terminator troop squad he grants you), Jacob Kell in power armour, I was thinking of running him as Gabriel Seth, but I might just run him as a Company Captain with Glaive Encarmine and artificer armour, Seth does feel right as a Lord Of War, and the command squad.

Masterdon Details

Detailing on the Masterdon, personally I would prefer it to have more at the front, a bit more of like a man of war than big tank.

Moar!

More bloodbowl and new bits for the Warlord Titan
