Forgebane, underhive gangs, executioners and daemonhosts.

-
It has been a bit of a busy week with the hobby. I have been busy assembling 30 gangers in 3 gangs of ten. I have Orlocks, Eshers and Goliaths assembled and waiting some paint. I need to decide some colour schemes. Given people live underground without sunlight I think pale skin and layers of grime will be the order of the day.

I made a list with inquisitor Eisenhorn last week so now I need to make a model for Cherubael. I had a go trying to make one out of a Zombie and then some bits of a chaos Marauder. I have now found one of my Hasselfree models as the base. I need to add some legs and some binding cloths. Then I can add some purity seals. I have also been reading some Dan Abnett books, Magus and Pariah. It was good to read some Inquisition stories again after all these years.

I did some more work on my Executioners I got the red going on the Sternguard sergeant and the Lieutenant. Now I can add the white for the feathers and the scrolls.

I also got a care package from Firestorm Games. It has a Landspeeder and a Rhino. So I can make a gunship and an armoured recon unit. According to the doctrine, Executioners fight for information rather than use stealth.



I also have a box of Forgebane models to assemble. All the models are useful, the Necrons are all models that came out after I stopped playing 40K so they are all useful. The Adeptus Mechanicus models are great and the stand outs are the two mini knights.

I assembled some infinity models as well. There are some Combined Army models and some opponents.

So loads of painting to do next week and a game for the weekend to organise.

Stargrave 40k - "we just got our asses kicked man"

-
Image
Alan and I went up to the Bring and Buy day at the Kapiti Club in Paraparaumu. We took our Stargrave game. In this case we had followed our leads to an abandoned factory. However when we got there we realised that the factory was far less abandoned than we had hoped. As we approached we could hear the sounds of chanting and the smell of old blood. It certainly didn't sound like Slaaneshi cultists. Here is an overview of the factory mounds of overgrown rubble and broken machinery. At locations around the factory were groups of red robed figures crouched over bits of equipment. They appeared to be trying to unlock the access to an underground silo. Here is the new Inquisition strike team. We have two new commandos and a doctor along with a former heretic that had been reprogrammed into an assault gladiator. The cultists if thats what they are react with the skill and precision normally reserved for military units. Inquisitor Rathbourne smote a cultist with a Grenade launcher with a b...

Kill Team - Genestealers above ground.

Image
I got in against Ben and his Star Striders, The Genestealers had made a lair in some old ruins. The Starstrider crew needed to cross this dangerous area so they could recover a valuable relic. Here are the Genestealers lying in wait for any that enter their territory. I placed once stealer in the open because I knew I could Salk it into cover and threaten the mid board. The Star Strider's motion trackers started going off, but they could not lock down the locations of the Genestealers while they were hiding in the ruins. The Genestealers are scuttling forwards. The Genestealers have flanked around their short side and seized control of the objective point between the Star Striders and their relic One the other side the board the Star Striders are advancing. One of the armsmen got close enough to get an accurate fix on one of the genestealers. This enabled their ship to get the coordinates and a beam strike lanced down out of the heavens. However the lightning reflexes of the Genest...

7TV Vlads Army - the climax - Battle at the Church

-
Image
 The Home Guard have raced back to their headquarters at the Church. (its the only place with a working phone). They have found the vicar and verger inside and have amassed a stock of supplies with which to make maguffins and other unique weapons of war. Just then a dark smokey cloud spreads over the graveyard and long dead hands start erupting from the ground. The Vampires have arrived, and this time they are led in person by Major Shreck. Can the Home Guard drive off the fiends of the night? Here is the church and its surrounding graveyard. (Seriously, who does that?) To the right is the church hall and at the bottom a couple of bomb-damaged houses. There is a war on. Here are the brave defenders taking their positions. The vicar briefly protested as his windows are broken to make firing ports. Alan won initiative for the first time in the campaign. Major Shrek raised the Iron Cross and the horde shambled forwards. Alan also got the effect that meant he could only move once per t...
