The Boyz in Green

Finally the current Army I'm working on is the Orks. With Black reach out I was able to pick up a second group of boyz to bring me to 40Here is one boy with a little blood on the chain sword.

Black Reach Warboss

Big Mech with a KFF

Couple of Nobz with Power Klaw

Boyz with Big Shotta

Boy with Rokkit Launcha

Boys in Blue (Part II)

Things slowed down and then what I think is the best box set ever came out (Assault on Black Reach) Not only did it come with a Tactical Squad but it also had a dreadnaught, captain, and Terminators.

Here is the Dreadnaught. The Tactical Squad (7th Squad)

The Captain

Finally I combined the Terminators with some Classic Metal ones that I bought to use with Space Hulk to get a total of 10.

I then purchased a Terminator captain.

And with 5th edition out I picked up Cato Sicarius

Boys in Blue (Part I)

With the Battle for Maccage box set I now had some space marines to paint for my son (He was 8 at the time) but I figured we should start early.
First painted was the Tactical Squad from the Box set (IV squad)
Plus the other stuff in the box

Next we added a Devastator Squad to play with the big guns.

Then we added a 2nd Tactical Squad (3rd Squad) Then I painted a Predator for a Christmas present

The scout squad with sniper rifles just looked to cool to pass up.

Finally I got a free marine from white dwarf and I painted him up as a Veteran. Never got the rest to complete a unit.

2nd Army (Tyranids)

Well about the time I finished painting the SOBs that I had purchased the Battle for Maccage box set came out and I suddenly found myself with Tyranids and Space Marines to Paint.

I claimed the Nids and My son wanted the Space Marines (Blue)

So I started off with 19 of the genestealers that I still had from Space Hulk

Add the 6 new genestealers from the box set

10 Termagants from the box set

Finally I bought a biovore to go with the spore mines from the box set.

I really wanted the new Carnifex at this point but got sidetracked and have not come back to this army yet.

The First Army (Witch Hunters)

Why Witch Hunters. Well I had just finished reading the Dune Series, and I was fascinated by the concept of the all female army. The Idea is that old soldiers become Moms and avoid problems of reintegration of the military into the civilian population.


Anyway I bought the basic box of SOBs

Next I went for the Sisters Repentia

Picked up some Older model Immolators cheap on E-bay

Bought the Games Day Inquisitor model to build a group of Henchmen around.

Finally I picked up some Death Cult Assassins because they just Looked Cool.

At that point I planned to get another squad of SOB or maybe some storm troopers but just never got around to it.

The final addition was the preacher with eviscerator that the manager of the GW store convinced me to buy on clearance. You got to admit the old man with a chainsaw look is pretty disturbing.

Hi :)

OK, I decided to create a blog to document my finished projects and to discuss any games I play. My intended audience is me so if you find anything here entertaining great, want to leave comments even better.

My history with Warhammer 40K. If we get in the way back machine we come to a time shortly after I discovered Battletech when Space Hulk came out. (OK maybe not when it came out but when it reached the backwoods of Louisiana where I grew up 1988). That summer My friends and I took over the dinning room of my parents house and did not come out until school started... and that is how my on / off again relationship began with 40K.

The following year I got the rouge trader rule book and we combined it with Space Hulk to form a kind of house rules game centered on small units. This is based on the first rule of warhammer, when you have the time you don't have the money. Conversely when you have the money you don't have the time.

Anyway that got me to col ledge and we picked up additional games of epic (Space Marine) and Bloodbowl but the fact that we started to get busy with life put gaming on the back burner. I got married and took a 10 year break.

Finally when 4th addition came out I got the bug again and started a S.O.B. army. (Never finished/ Never played a game) followed by a Ultra Marine Army / Nid army with the release of Battle for Mccage. By this point my son was old enough to start playing. (sucks to get beat by an 8 year old)

Now a few years later Black Reach and 5th edition came out and I've got the bug again. The new plastic orks are out and I've started my 4th army, Orks. From here we will just see what happens. Maybe I'll remember to play a game or two sometime.
