8th Edition Warriors of Chaos – Shadow synergy

Having leapt into Warhammer's 8th edition, it's a lot of fun going through army books and new rules to re-invent armies and try no builds. So far I have been trying out as many different units as possible, taking advantage of any new rules. Festus in a unit of 50 Marauders, my first horde deathstar, seems to have worked up a few grudges at my local club so far!

Mechanicus Termite

I chanced upon the Ramshackle stand at the UK Games Expo last month and took their stock of 'Boring Machines' off their hands for my Mechanicus army. At £8 and solid resin, they're a bargain and a huge timesaver. I chose to use these as Termites for my Hypaspists to tunnel into war!

The basic model is a great start or even finish, for a termite. I decided to paint one out of the box and spend a little time converting my others.

The First Heretic – Synopsis

The upcoming Horus Heresy release - The First Heretic - written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden is being well thumbed by a few lucky individuals with early copies.

I received this image of the book's synopsis in my inbox this morning.

Whet your appetite!

Sons of Horus Justaerin

Determined to maintain (read: not entirely repaint) my Sons of Horus, I have chosen to field them for my club's upcoming 40k tournament.

I have deemed Codex: Space Wolves ideal to reflect their superiority over other legions. Grey Hunters contribute a strong, versatile core of astartes with a very flexible and characterful contingent of Wolf Guard to use as squad leaders and Justaerin Terminators. The options Wolf Guard have are ideal for fielding any combination of gear.
