Porting a ridiculously over-themed army into a codex
Alas! I am stuck with a new dilemma. After a year of toiling at my Dark mechanicum army, I find myself without a legal force to commit to the table. The army was built almost exclusively for the Tempus Fugitives events and may well see more action in that capacity, but now I face other challenges in the world of 40k and need a legitimate bunch of models to play with!
Hot stuff – Painting the Storm Raven
The red blob known as my Storm Hawk finally got some treatment this weekend.
I've trawled the Internets for guides or examples of heat damage for aircraft with no joy. NASA craft are built in such a way (and expense) that atmospheric re-entry does not leave them in the mess that I intend to portray with my bird.
Mortis Skitarii
At the core of my Dark Mechanicum army stand the Skitarii Hypasposts. Armed with Hellguns and carapace armour, they're as hard as Imperial veterans, but take less risks getting into battle - arriving behind enemy lines from their Termites.
The Scouring – time minus 19 days
There's less than 3 weeks until the Scouring campaign weekend and the joblist is starting to look intimidating. I've settled with building as much as I can now and worrying about painting the lot later!
I am happy that Kelbor Hal is at a tabletop standard for now. if by some miracle I have some free time after everything else, I'll add further detail and highlights.
The Scouring – time minus 23 days
As ever, the panic sets in with a deadline approaching.
In 23 days the Legio Mortis struggles to escape Mars, Terra, the greater Imperium as a whole. The Scouring is upon us and the Dark Mechanicum is in flight! With Horus slain, his forces have scattered to the stars to escape the wrathful vengeance of the loyalist armies.
