WIP Death Guard

Some more work done on the Plague Marines.  Dreadnought, above.

SHARKNADO!

Enough said!

40K League Report: Space Sharks vs. Eldar

Note the funky pixie wings.

Managed to get my league game in with James' Eldar this past weekend.  1250pts, Crusade, Hammer and Anvil.  Going into the game he was the league leader, being undefeated so far.  For this step he changed his list around, dropping the wave serpents to try other things out like swooping hawks and lots of rangers.

New Chaos Space Marine supplement due soon!

Wow, I've just seen some of the rundowns for the new rules for the new supplement for Chaos Space Marines.  Kind of surprised to see it come out so fast on the heels of the Black Legion supplement, but I'm not complaining!  A lot of Chaos Marine players, especially Night Lords and Iron Warriors I think will love this new book.

Purge the Alien!

Aside from the Eldar stuff I won't get back to for a while, I have some things that I seriously doubt I will ever get to.  So, another round of purges.  Wanted to check here first to see if anyone, especially locals, were interested before they went to ebay.  Contact me through the profile on the right with offers.

First up above we have some spare Eldar Harlequins, all metal from back in the day.

Metal avatar.

Old metal dire avengers or guardians.

Four old and one very old dark reaper, including some kind of extra weapon, I'm guessing some kind of exarch launcher?

Box of ten Warmachine Cryx Satyxis Blood Witches.  I had planned to use them either as daemonettes or as some kind of unit for the Scythiak.

Box of Dark Eldar Kabalite Warriors, opened but complete.

Twenty Dark Elf Corsairs, two hand weapons and command (two groups of ten)

Ten Dark Elf crossbowmen.

Fifteen (15) Dark Elf Cold One Knights!  Twelve beasts built, three on sprue.  Some riders partially built (legs). 

WIP: Space Sharks Librarian, Death Guard Dreadnought

 

I've been getting a little painting progress done since getting back from vacation.  First up is a Space Sharks librarian with jump pack.  I've never been a fan of all-blue librarians, so he's mostly in standard Shark grey, with a blue pad (and psychic hood) to denote his specialty.  For those younguns out there, the figure is an old metal librarian, circa 1990.  Metal jump pack with ork spiky bits added for a little shark flavor.  

Thoughts: Does everything in the background have to be represented by rules?

We've all heard it, and have probably engaged in some of it ourselves: such and such rule doesn't reflect the background!  X chapter of marines should have rules for XYZ!  We've heard the clamor for ways to differentiate marines, chaos legions, eldar craftworlds, ork klans, guard regiments, tyranid hivefleets, etc.

At some level it makes sense.  Imperial Fists are supposed to be masters of siege warfare, Bad Moons are supposed to have the best equipment, Saim Hann use a lot of jetbikes.  Why not give them special rules to represent that?

40K League Report: Space Sharks vs. Cryptkickers CSM - Lightning Claw Pattycake!

Got in my league game with Scott of My Little World of Dementia and his Chaos Marines.  Look for his version of the report soon at his site. (Edit - here it is) 1000pts, Hammer and Anvil Big Guns Never Tire.
