(5/31/11) Black Templars and Other Updates

A little bit of a belated update this week - I've been without internet for about a week. We have had a lot of stormy weather here lately, and a tornado hit nearby last week. There were news vans from Indianapolis just down the road, as the damage was extreme. A trailer park was hit the worst. Many are moved around and flipped, if not completely destroyed. There are trees down so big you couldn't put your arms around them.

But luckily no one was severely hurt and the damage overall was pretty limited. Pretty much this whole side of town has been without power off and on for the past week, and I know at least on my street the internet is just now being addressed. Mostly downed lines.

So, sorry for the absence. I had no way of posting so I need to catch up on my Empire updates, but in the mean time check out these Black Templars! I'm excited to finally have a traditional Black Templar army done and in the gallery. :)

I'm working on catching up on my email. I will also be sending out the newsletter tomorrow morning. It's getting pretty late and it's been a long day!

Chaos Additions

Going to play a game in a bit, and thought while I was packing I would take pics of the new army items, as I will be using them and they will be seen in the battle report photos.

Update: Didn't get to play a game. There was a misunderstanding of times and point sizes. But I got to watch some 40k so not a total loss :)

For Love of the Empire Pt 5

Well...done a little early with the computer work. So I guess that means a triple blog post tonight.

Oh well!

A few units for the Empire. First a bit of Nuln, the only non-Reikland units in the army.

Engineers:

Cannons:
Mortars:
Helblasters/Helstorms

A unit from the city of Bogenhafen. In the heart of Reikland and famous for it's wine production:

I'll have some more up soon!

(5/20/11) Dark Eldar Raiders

Up this week is a set of Dark Eldar Raiders to compliment an existing army I did in December.
Vroom!

For Love of the Empire Pt 4

Nothing new to see here, just a general update as I have been pretty quiet lately. Most of my time has been taken up by working on the Empire on top of regular projects, which is actually working out well. I think I will have plenty of time to spare for the big game. My Empire co commander- the friend we are seeing off with this game, has been coming over a lot to paint and it's kept me glued to my seat. Time and paint flies when you have good conversation to distract.

His army is actually 75% done (boo, going to have to put him to work!). He is using Army Painter, going for a witch hunter theme using brown and red with feathers denoting which units were gathered from which province. Should be a nice contrast to my army which is a very bright martial army. Even my War Altar is actually a General and his guard on a chariot base.

But anyway. List is pretty much the same, and I plan on posting pics soon. Working on the movement trays so I can finally take pictures of finished units. The artillery is done as well so I will definitely have pictures up along with tomorrows Dark Eldar update.

In other news I have been back into Fantasy and going strong with my old Warriors. You might recall I had them for sale for a little bit, but I am glad I went with my gut and held onto them. I have added a couple units such as 24 Tzeentch Chosen (well...to choose from, have yet to use 24) and a Sorcerer Lord on a disk. I will have pics of them up soon too.

So I will be posting a lot more battle reports. Tomorrow I am going to a local store to play 2500, so I will be sure to take some pictures of that as well.

If you've hung in this far thanks for reading, and keep checking back as this next week should see quite a few updates. See you all soon!

(5/14/11) Death Guard

Up this week - some Death Guard in somewhat of an old school scheme.

I'll have some updates on the Empire soon. A few units done all but some finishing touches, just haven't been able to get to them.

Up next is Dark Eldar. 11 vehicles for an existing army. Vroom!
