Endless Ones: WIP Warp Talon

I spent most of the last few days getting reacquainted with my dad, whom I haven't seen in about thirty years.  But, at night I've gotten a little brush-time in, and have fiddled around with this Warp Talon.

Veterans of the Long War

Old data, but you get the idea

Thanks to all the vets and current duty folks out there, walking the lines for us, including those from the various NATO and other allied nations still stuck in Afghanistan, as well as those Afghanis not shooting at our guys.  Here's hoping that all the various troops can make it back home safely and that Afghanistan can eventually find a good long break after 30+ years of BS, in sha'Allah.

Endless Ones: WIP Warp Talons, Cultists

After finishing up the berzerkers the other day, I was kind of on-hold for painting due to the cold weather making spraying inadvisable.  I assembled my Warp Talons and waited for a thaw.  Today it came, and I took advantage of the warmer weather to spray the Warp Talons as well as two groups of CC Dark Vengeance cultists.

League opening lists

Initial thoughts on initial (1000pt) lists for the new 40K league.  Still undecided about which army to bring, still welcoming your thoughts!  These lists are for the three top contenders in my eyes, the Merkan 76th Imperial Guard, the Chaos-worshiping Scythiak Usurpation, and the Orks of Kaptin Krumpa.

Endless Ones: Abyssal Reavers finished

Finished backpacks, nothing fancy, and got basing done.  It's gotten cold here, so I haven't sealed them yet, but painting-wise they're done.  Either a berzerker squad or simply Khorne-marked CSM, with a champion/Kharne stand-in.

You can tell they're Khorne-worshippers since their skulls already come in nice skull-shaped presentation cases.  How thoughtful!

Thanks for looking!  Please also be sure to check out the previous post and let me have your thoughts on my army for the next league!

Forget the election, we have a 40K league to decide on!

I hope that you actually don't forget the election if you're in the US, go vote if you're eligible and you haven't done so already.

But we do have a 40K league to decide on as well!

Gaming Underground is doing another league, this one starting at 1000pts, then going up in 250pt jumps to 1750.  

But what to take?  If there's an army of mine that you'd really like to see in the league battle reports, let me know!  Here's the potential armies and links to their profiles (or basic info if I haven't done a profile yet):

Prime contenders:

Kommisar Krumpa's Orks - I have also since added dreads and kans, and at some point will toss in a dakkajet.

Merkan 76th Imperial Guard - They also have access to Straken, a manticore, chimera, and a pair of armored sentinels.

The Scythiak Usurpation - Perhaps with some CSM allies at higher point levels, but probably not so I have points for the Ogryn mob.

Possible but unlikely:

Hell Hounds Word Bearers CSM - With some fiddling could work them into the new rules.

Deathfin - Space Sharks terminator force using the Dark Angels rules.   Would be very small at 1000pts!

Dark Horse candidates:

Silver Skulls

Space Sharks

Having just finished a league with regular marines, would probably want to play something different.  But you never know.

In theory I'd like to use the Endless Ones, but I won't have enough finished in time.

If you'd like to see more of one of these armies in reports over the next few months, comment below!

40K Podcast tab

Above you may notice a new tab, for 40K podcasts.  You can also click the link.

 

 

 

 I listen to a fair few podcasts when I can.  On the page you can find links to those I catch when I can.

 

 

 

There are many others out there, but mostly not for me.  If you're looking for something to listen to on a commute or while painting, check them out!

Enter the Dragon?

I admit to being a bit of a hypocrite with regards to the new Chaos Marine Heldrake and the other new daemon engines.  I don't think that they really fit in looks-wise with the other Chaos Marine stuff.  The Defiler, though crazy, was a much better fit aesthetically.  On their own they're OK, and if I had seen the Heldrake made by another company, like as a Warmachine Cryx monster, I would have been drooling over it wanting to find a way to use it as something counts-as in 40K.
