Blood for the Blood God!!!!

Hi Everyone,

Red Mist here, as you know I've been quiet for a while now, but that doesn't mean I've not been busy.

Once again, in two weeks, the code40k guys are traveling down to Reading for SVAXIII and we all love a bit of SVA.
 
What to take this year? 
Well after a short think I fell back on my first true love.... Khorne Chaos Marines. 

So with a bit of TLC and some new bases and banners behold 'Harkan The Slaughterer' with his loyal, or is that underhand, champions.




As my fellow geeks on the code know, I love terminators, so what better than two squads.

The Brotherhood of Khorne...





and the Brotherhood of Iron...





Backing them up and providing some firepower a Veteran  Iron Warriors squad... 



I love the Chaos Boon Table, pity then that nobody that I play ever excepts a challenge, you know who you are...

So I need  a Daemon Prince and a Spawn, just in case Chaos blesses me, one way or another.










A couple of years ago fellow blogger and scratch builder genius Hypaspist built two, yes two, warhound titans for an apoc game. Once the  smoke had cleared one passed into the loving care of Brother toonboy78.

The other a smashed, ruin scattered across the battlefield fell into the hand of my dark warpsmiths. Now two years on arise INDATOR MORTIS 'The Death Bringer' Titan of Khorne.












Look out SVA death is coming... and his name is Khorne!!!!

Da Doom Fortress Cometh

Hello All

After a hectic spate of kustomisation, Big Mek Grubnutz has completed yet another mighty war machine for Waaaggghhh! Bluddtoof, and Da Boss is most pleased.
This model started out nearly 10 years ago as a lowly battlewagon, though having said that I did get a little carried away and it was far too big, having a 3rd set of wheels making it nearly 18" long!
I immediately chopped it down to 2 axles and produced a battlewagon about 12" long, open topped with rokkit launchas, bolt on big shootas a death rolla and a decent passanger capacity.
It was still too big for standard games and the few times I used it it did poorly so I decided to convert it to a battle fortress for use in Apocalypse games, so I fitted an ard case in the form of the corugated roofs and walls and gave it 3 big guns in the form of a kannon, zzapp gun and lobba all in turrets. In this guise it took to the field in a few apocalypse games and was much enjoyed.
Now with SVA XIII looming I decided I wanted a Tanka mob in my apoc list for the weekend so after perusing the Kustom Battle Fortress entry in Imperial Armour Apocalypse II I've retro fitted it with an all new Hull Mounted Supa Kannon and turret mounted Kill Kannon and Big Zzappa, along with a pintle mounted twin linked big shoota.
Here's some piccies...










Future plans for Da Doom Fortress are some grot sponsons and removal of some of the corugation on the flanks to allow fitting of grot bombs or supa rokkits! Mwahahahahahahahaha!!
Next up will be the dakkajet which I'm currently working on....

Space Wolf Reinforcements

Hi All,

DOC again and more building of models (how many more you say) LOTS is the answer!!  So this week ive been adding to my space wolf army and i ashamed to say every figure in this post is present of one sort or another and as yet i have done nothing with them! Not any longer!


Ok first up Canis Wolfborn (in metal thats how long ive had him to do!) This guy weighs in... easily the heaviest model ive done for a while and a real pain to put together.  I drilled and pinned as many parts as possible.  I think if you dont with this much weight it will get broken.  Ive also filled in all the gaps with the greenstuff and used the thousand son head from the thunderwolf sprue on the base.

Two more thunderwolves ready to pounce.  This is the remainder from my set of three.  Please see my other thunderwolf post.  Ive decided to make my squad of thunderwolves troop killers and survivable.  So ive armed one with a wolf claw and storm shield (see post link), one with storm shield and close combat weapon and one with close combat weapon and bolt pistol.  This will allow me to position the unit in order to keep them alive I.E storm shield guy at front wolf claw at back.

This forgeworld dreadnought was a birthday present for my 30th (im nearly 33!) from the other members of the code Thanks Guys!  My only problem with this model is the cool banner (not in the picture) which is huge but will be easily broke.  Ive decided to put a long pin into it so i can slot it in before each game and take it out for casing purposes.  The base is from 616 Designs and this is my third space wolf dreadnought see these previous posts,  this post and lastly this post.

Fenrisian Wolves (ok its not) but thats what im going to use them as.  My good friend Hendrix gave me 5 of these so ive green stuffed there backs with fur and this will take me up to twenty fenrisian wolves!  Heres my previous fenrisian wolves post.  With Canis and Thunderwolves it will be a niced themed list to play with.

Last picture is Arjac Rockfirst an xmas present from 2011.  Not much to say about this, apart from awesome model looking forward to painting this one!
Well guys as you can see the stack grows ever bigger for painting once again youll see them again when they have paint on (not sure which year yet though!)
 
Thats All Folks

Saga (Gaming not Ageing)

Hi All,

Doc here again and on a posting roll for 2013.  This is a small one to keep the hand on the tiller so to speak.  So as i write this i have a couple of weeks to my second Saga gaming event.  If at this point your thinking what are you on about take a look at my first saga post.

So the second event being run by wyvern wargames ups the anti to 6 pts.  That means more figures... It also means more painting.....


So ive plumped for Levies as it will give me access to missile fire from gripping beast. Im really looking forward to taking part in more aspects of the game so ive also plumped for some cavalry from warlord games.  I have a vision of some cool looking blue warpaint on the bare chests of the cavalry but well see how it goes!!


 
So my building project continues apace.  Its a deliberate effort to get all the figures i have lying around built and undercoated.  Next for building space wolves!  Once again ill post a picture when these are painted.  Over and Out DOC
