Rebuilding the 1st company

I've never been a big fan or Terminators, but somehow I have a few dozen models gathered over the years that get dragged through failed projects.

As you will later notice from the colours, I attempted to build a small force up as 1st company Lamenters, using the lovely new Space Hulk models. It seemed the best choice for a yellow legion that didn't offer too much damage to the models. Tears are tears, whether they are red or blue! That got as far as one painted marine, but some decent model conversions.

This project has been a labour of love and hate, but after seeing a 3rd party kit, I had to get myself involved.

'Da Vinci', a fellow fan of the Age of the Emperor events and fellow magos, builds and releases some custom kits and vehicles that fit 40k quite well.

A day in the warp

...somehow takes a a week in real life!

Last week I managed to get in a test game for the Age of the Emperor campaign, playing Heavy Assault. I literally threw together an army to face King Fluff's Space Wolves and managed to stop them in their tracks!

Here's a selection of images. My models are the mess of plastic and resin that don't look like Space Wolves!

Iron Hands army planning

With 3 months on the count down, I am very eager to try and tie down my lists for Age of the Emperor. It is a little difficult without the final codex options, but I can begin to outline what options I have with the missions and models available.

There are two types of mission:

1. Planetstrike
2. Heavy Assault

Planetstrike is fought as attacker, defender and in doubles and solo for both. That's 4 games, requiring a list for invader and defender.

Bugs in the system!

Well my mojo is back and I intend to get on top of blogging again.

I have been developing a game that works a bit like Play-by-mails, but through web forms and email. This is another hobby I used to invest myself in a lot, but have slipped out of for a few years as most of the games I played dried up. As a web developer and aspiring game designer, this sort of project satiates a few interests at once!
