Going Green

I got some old chaos figures in a bits swap ages ago, figuring "I can always strip 'em later". Well now it's later & this will be my first time trying something like this, but everybody says Simple Green is the best stuff for the job.



I dropped the figures into an old jar, and poured in the Simple Green (undiluted). Now I wait patiently, with my old tooth brush while the 'green does it's magic. I'll check back in on them in the morning & I'll post some pictures after they've had a good scrub. Wish me luck!

LII: If I had a Rocket Launcher...

I'm just 1 rocket launcher shy of completing my Havoc Squad (might have to try the Barter Bucket). I really like how these guys came out, for the most part. The Rocket Launcher guys looked a little crowded with chaos backpacks, so used loyalist equivalents & tarted them up a little with some chaos iconography. The rest of my army isn't really this flashy, but I figured since these guys aren't technically Plague Marines, fluff-wise it makes sense that they be slightly more flamboyant than the rest of my 'rotters.

ULTRAMARINES: The Movie

The director is relative unknown Martyn Pick, this is his first feature length directorial effort.

The writer for Ultramarines has been announced as none other than Dan Abnett, the best-selling author who has written dozens of Warhammer 40,000 novels and graphic novels which have sold over a million copies worldwide. He was an obvious choice due to his background with Games Workshop, his extensive knowledge of Warhammer 40K, and his writing ability.











New teaser is up: ULTRAMARINES The Movie.com
I can't wait for this to come out!

Spearhead!

I got the new Spearhead issue of White Dwarf yesterday. First time I've bought this magazine since I was a little kid. These rules look fun! Anybody else pick this up? Got any favorite formations?

New Header

Today we say "hello!" to a new, more Nurgley header, and "goodbye" to the old Enter the Dragon style one.

LI: Icon of Nurgle

left arm is from the Bloodletters box
legs are from the Possessed CSM box
backpack is from the Berserkers box
everything else is from the Chaos Space Marines box

I modified the horn into an antler on the nurgle CSM head, this is something I'm doing across my whole army. Bull horns are too Khorne, multiple horns are Tzeentch, and those ribbed looking gazelle horns are Slaanesh; antlers are for Nurgle.

This is the first icon bearer in my army, he'll be attached to my new Havoc squad. I've got a champion in a WIP biker squad with another icon, but I think I'll represent it differently for him (something with less drag).

L: Cry Havoc

I have been swayed by a discussion over on Papa Nurgle about Havocs ~vs~ Preds or Vindies. I got excited & put this guy together... I'm thinking maybe a squad of 7, maybe 3 or 4 launchers.


Also, this blog turns 1 year old this month, marking the anniversary of me getting into this plastic crack hobby. I think I've made some progress, but I need something to show for it, not just WIP pics. So by the end of the month I'll have my first 7 man Plague Marine squad PAINTED, I swear it.
