Hi All,
Doc here to talk about mine and Boss Bluddtoof's upcoming campaign:
"The Cypra Incident: Birth of the Beast of Cypra"
Firstly this is what I hope will happen to Bluddtoof!
This campaign will be a narrative ladder campaign and I will discuss how we arrived at that decision below.

Adeptus Astartes - Trained by Mars
Evening All,
So as the title may have alluded to this post is all about the select few marines who get trained by the adeptus mechanius to work with machines. I have been itching for ages to get some built for a couple of my armies and have been hoarding parts for this purpose for some time.
First up is a basic techmarine picked up by red mist (thanks bud) on ebay. Clearly a paint stripped model I am looking forward to bringing back to life on the table top.
Next up is a converted techmarine on bike carrying an auspex (I hate over watch!). Again the biker was picked up by innermech of all people and he gave him to me saying he would be good for your techmarine on a bike (Yes you are correct bert many thanks!).
I have used Iron warrior back pack parts to convert up the servo arm. Really pleased with this simple conversion.
Last warrior to be trained by Mars is a new Iron Priest. I have been again planning this for some time. Like the techmarine on bike the back pack is made using Iron Warrior parts. The chest plate and shoulder pad are tech parts too showing the correct iconography. To go alongside the Iron Priest he has 4 converted cyberwolves. These are simple conversions of the Waargs from the GW lord of the rings range given to me by Hendrix (cheers!). There appears to be lots of bits accumulated for these projects from many within the code group.
Last on this post I have also based up a load of wolves (former goblin wolf riders wolves) to make a load more fenrisian wolves. This now takes me up to 40!
Hope you like the simple conversions comments are welcome.
Cheers

The Great British Build Off - Heresy Arms Race - The Dark Angels
Morning All,
Posted on behalf of InnerMech....
The Dark Angels finally have heresy parts and although expensive I wanted all the models to look top draw. I have purchased the Battle for Calth but also lots of other MKs through forgeworld. I wanted a mixture in the army to reflect the different armour used at the time.
I have an approach to painting which is to get a quality table top standard but most of all get all the models on the table ready to play. So when I build something I glue them fully together unless it would be impossible to paint. With the first test game for age of darkness lined up for this Friday I have been busy building this lot:
Legion tactical marines all based on code designs bases and available at Worcester Wargames
Plasma - love the look of the 30K plasmas!
Volkite - Assault weapon death
Still work in progress the tracks are particularly challenging!
Command Squad with dark angel parts need that fearless option!
Plasma, plasma, plasma, I have always lined my 40k DA's up with plasma now the 30K dudes can have some.
Bit static pose but for the money well worth it!
Hope you like the build will show you more as I get into it.
Cheers

The Great British Build Off - Heresy Arms Race - Death Guard
Hi All,
So Ho Ho Ho Horus Heresy came and went and the code on the whole did badly. We were saved by Toonboys brothers showcase of Primarchs which were fantastic! I hope you enjoyed them I certainly did. The fact still remains however, that us code boys are still sitting on a whole load of Resin - Innermech, Doc, Lukodakka and Redmist in particular.
So I was over Innermechs yesterday and to my surprise sat there were lots of built heresy models the lad had been really busy! Not only that but he must be skint!
Anyway today I decided I would have a little go and build up a few more things! Here goes:
5 more deathshrouds, this now gives me 10 of these built. Although a warpage issue needs fixing as illustrated by the second photo!
Finished the build on my breacher sergeant now my mk3 close combat weapons have arrived. I used the head from the rapier guy to make a better looking sergeant.
2 Apothecaries, every good death guard needs feel no pain right!
Praetors - alternative leaders for when you need them. Put these guys on code design bases.
Contemptor number 2, haven't decided yet if I will magnetise the arms or not. I have a power fist and plasma arm for this guy magnetised from first contemptor which is completed as a mortis pattern. Tempted to order volkite arms for this one?
Not content with just doing heresy as Boss Bludtoof mentioned we are committed to a campaign. So I have also been putting stuff together for the first two games of the campaign. Being a cheepskate and guard are cheap I am making all the guard heavy weapon options from one box. Today I built up the autocannons for the 19th Dicers Regiment.
I am currently formulating the background for this regiment. I think I am going to play a regiment which is on the edge of slipping to chaos and have been sent to colonise a planet after a successful campaign against the 7th black crusade. The planet is a bit of back end of the galaxy type and resentment to there honoured settlement rights is growing. I will expand this background a little further once we get in to the campaign proper.
Right hope you like my great British Build off next time I will share InnerMechs Dark Angel builds I mentioned above.
Cheers

A New Mek for Waaagh! Bluddtoof
Hi All
Not posted in a while due to a very long and well needed holiday!
Back now and getting back into a quite busy painting schedule for the coming year; myself and Doc are planning a narrative campaign for 2016, this will tell the tale of the Imperial response to the rise of Waaagh! Bluddtoof and is an ideal excuse for me to paint up some long awaited additions to my Orks. We'll post much more regarding this over the coming year, including stories and detailed bat reps and painting posts, stay tuned....
This post is to show the most recent addition to my Space Ork force; a Big Mek in Mega Armour with Tellyport Blasta. I painted this for a 4000pt game we played this weekend just gone; Me and Luko Dakka as Orks against Doc and Inner Mech as Wolves and DA. A good game; we played the old meat grinder mission from a couple of editions ago, well a version of it anyway. Alas the orks couldn't wipe out the beakies before time ran out so we slunk off to lick our wounds. We'll be back though!!!
So here's a few pics of the new Mek.....
Hope you like, as usual c and c most welcome.
Keep watching over the next few weeks and months as I paint up some new bits and bobs for my Orks to use in the campaign.
