Hobby Update - Space Marines

Before I let you know about my future projects I just want to have a quick update of what i have been doing in the last few weeks

First I had a very successful Worcester War tournament which I won! While I scored lots of points and tabled 1 opponent and nearly a second 2 of the 3 games were very close. My army was pretty well balanced and each unit did a good job over all. my disappointments were both Belial and the Librarian. Belial did not have any real punch. His sword is ok but only good against things with 3+ save or worse. All the tough stuff he would face (Dreadknights, Riptides and Wraithknights) all have a 2+ save so his sword doesn’t cut the mustard. Additionally all those will generally instant kill him. Looks like I will have to make a TH/SS version of him as at least that will have a bit more staying power and punch. The librarian’s problem was that his is too many points for a support character and not tough enough to lead a spearhead. I mainly took biomancy to try and get iron arm for himself or endurance for the tactical squad he was with. Not sure what I would change on the list if anything for future tournaments. a quick picture of my army:


Painting wise I have at alst finished painting a vindicator and a razorback. They have been painted to table top since 2009 but I had added some more yellow to them and painted all the details.








I am currently working on Pedro Kantor and Kor’sarro Khan. They are both nice models and will follow the paint scheme of my captain models, of a deep gold coloured armour. Khan will need a bike at some point to finish him off.

After this I am not sure what to do. I have a few models to finish off (a few more bikes to do, some squad leaders) but I have no real project to get on with. With the rumours of the new marine codex out in October I may just have to bide my time until then. I have a lot of terrain to sort out and that should be a bit of a priority….

Merry Christmas

Here is my First fully painted bike squad


I just need to get a base for the Attack bike.

my review of the year.....GREAT!

2 strong showings at tournaments with my drop pods. Beating the all conquering ORK KAN army in the process.
Getting a lot of my back log of models painted (I can now see the end of my unpainted models)
6th edition. so much more FUN.

what will 2013 bring? well with the imminent release of the Dark Angel Codex that will be my first purchase.and some of their new fancy models. these will complement my Ravenwing and the DV models.

I will build a games board that is easy to store and move around.

I hope to go to the SVA and Carnage Tournaments in the early part of the year. and maybe some other events would be nice.

Have  a great Christmas and Happy Geeking for the New Year
