Timberwolf's New Arm

I found the drill for the Hounds Ironclad dreadnought and repainted it for The Lion's Blades.
I used the tried and tested process of an ushabati bone base coat, then a nuln oil wash, with a dry brush of screaming skull.

Voldus got a brush of gold over certain areas then I added a single dry brush coat of Necron compound. It's got a much lighter tone than the lead bleacher that I had used the first time round.

The Enorm Björn And Friends

Owing to the ongoing containment failure and the cascading rupture of the Warp field, the lady in the blue box assured us she'll get sorted as soon as she tackles what looks like a Necron army that has appeared on the ship, so we've added the latest Björn to appear to the task force aiding her.

Base Line for the Knights of Blood

Was making a base line for my Knights of Blood,  and took the chance to magnetise the axe head on Asteroth.

Enorm Björn Done

After a month of work and plenty of procrastination I'm almost good to call the Enorm Björn done, just need to get a photo with the others before I go on.
Yes the claws are blu tacked but that's to avoid breakages while in storage.
I have some running around to do after work but I'm  planning to get the full time line photographed later before a bath and bed.

06/01/18 Tournament

Had my first tournament since 2010ish yesterday, and came 45th out of 58 players although one guy  dropped out so a second guy had to sit out the final game, as my objective was avoid the wooden spoon and not get tabled in all 3 games I did achieve those objectives, I did get tabled in my 2nd game against a tailored list of 3 Knights, 4 Assassins and a Psyker, but when I saw what I was facing I froze up. But seeing as I hadn't played my list before yesterday and haven't faced that kind of list before I'm not sure how I would have done anything g different.
My first game was close till turn 4 then accelerated away from me and my last game was against Jack and his Eldar and it was close up to turn 4 again then I started loosing units and his Wraith Knight was left unopposed.
Also I've already equaled the number of games I got in last year.

The Enorm Björn New Year Progress

I bought the smoking marker from Zinge Industries to help hide the wires for the led's

The cork board arrived between Christmas and new year, but mostly this last 2 weeks my mind has been focused on the ITC tournament on Saturday so mini building has sort of crashed to a halt. The next couple of nights I'm working on my old lists for my DA Successor Chapter, the Hounds and as much as I can, The Knights of Blood. The Exodites and Harlequins are still on pause for now.

First Plan Of 2018

So before bath and bed before work I'll share my plan while I wait Codex Harlequins to get published;
After getting some feed back on Inquisition Orders I'm going to form these into a Vanguard Detachment with an Inquisitor and Captain from the Ordo Astartes leading.
I plan to fill out enough slots to eventually run it as a battalion by adding 2 Tactical Squads either plasma or grav and a full squad of 10 Intercessors, around that I'm thinking 2 squads of 3 Inceptor with Plasma, most likely painted for The Lion's Blades, to get as much use as possible and 2 full 10 man squads of Hellblasters as well.
Taking the DA Codex to work tonight to cost stuff up so will have a rough idea of costs and prices when I'm in work tonight
