Hello Godhammer!
In March, the Mechanicum return. This means I get to dig out my 4,000-odd points of red coats to play bolter-fodder once more. Or does it?
Godhammer is a Forgeworld and the focal point of the 6th Age of the Emperor instalment. Everyone with a spaceboat has their eye on the planet...
It's our planet and we're going to keep it that way, Omnissiah-willing!
Farewell Golconda
I can only blame the 6-week drought of posts on my inability to manage my hobby time and get my army done for the event last weekend! With the panic now over and the most enjoyable event now over, it is time to reflect and get back to planning future projects.
Grey Knights – new gaming material for 30k?
Grey Knights are an exciting release in their own right - an excellent elite force for the discerning collector of the best space marines on the market. They are equally exciting for the 'after market' hobbyists - those of us who get excited over bits, conversion projects and of course, cannibalising or proxying the army rules for something entirely different.
New models
Salamander boarding Terminators
The first prototype Terminator of an intended 15(!) made his way to the painting table this weekend. I'm toying with the idea of a green-gold plate for the first company - Fire drakes. Currently the paint is more of a metallic green, but rather than blend it all further into gold, I'm hoping to pick out details and freehand patterns in the armour with pure gold.
All the models will be mounted on space hulk looking bases as the whole force is aimed at ship boarding games for various upcoming events. I'll be doing a bit more research into base ideas after I'm happy with this first model, but for now a bit of CoD flooring did the job.
I intentionally used a chaos power fist for this model as it looks more bestial - something I feel the Salamanders could work into their imagery. The skull on the hand will be painted to look dragon-like.
Rebooting old projects: Salamanders
Only 10 days have passed since I tried to outline my project plans for 2011. Already I've deviated from that course - not surprising!
I find the best motivation to be pressure from deadlines and upcoming events. It seems there will at least two pre-Heresy events that I'd like to attend in 2011:
1. Age of the Emperor (AOTE5), run by the Tempus Fugitives.
2. A strongly-hinted ship-boarding focused event ran by the Great Crusade.
