Crimson Guard Commander Tomax is the fist character for this army, besides special characters. He is my Khorne Lord and leader of the Crimson Guard. He leads from the front with his massive daemon weapon, leading the charge in the search for blood and skulls for Khorne!<br />

<br />
This is the first model in a new Khorne army I am currently work on. The Crimson Guard is a new Warband I am building up for my chaos legions. A World Eaters warband made up of the followers of Khorne, so expect a lot of RED! I have changed the color of the army slightly from the traditional Red of the World Eaters with a bit of a metallic twist and some black to go with the power armor. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />Kharn is painted up in the colors of the army so he will fit in with the rest of the warband. It's always fun to have him run wild on the table and I look forward to killing my own army as well as the enemy!<br />

<br />
How about starting off the rebuilding with a new completed Alpha Legion squad! The 1st of my troop squads is finally finished and ready for deployment. These new troops will boost the warband with fresh blood! The squad is armed with melta special weapons, and is a basic chaos marine squad. The models are a mix of current models and bits. 1 down and 2 more squads to go! <br />

<br />
Well it's been over a year since I last posted anything on this site. Having recently worked myself back into getting into the blog scene, I have returned to rebuild the Heart. I took a small step back into blogs with my imperial blog a few months ago, and now I am back to the original one that started it all. This one is my most involved of the two blogs I run, with more armies WIP on here then my other blog. With a new core edition of 40K recently released, along with new Chaos Marines and Daemons codecies already released for this new edition, and a new Nid Dex to be released in the next month or so, it was time to raise the Heart. In addition to my Alpha Legion, I am working on 2 new warbands for chaos, a Khorne\World Eaters and Iron Warriors warbands. I have finished a few units for the bands already and will be posting them here soon. No one ever expects the Alpha Legion.....so here we go! FOR THE EMPEROR!!! ;)<br />

<br />
Returning once again with a new Alpha Legion unit that I did for a club group project. This time we reach back to the Days of Ole when the Alpha Legion was taking part in the Great Crusade, I have put together a 5 man combat squad team of legionaries in the old Alpha Legion colors and logo. Since it's great crusade I thought anything went so instead of the usual codex marine heavy or assault weapons, I gave the squad a sniper rifle as its special weapon. Also the entire squad is armed to the teeth for rear enemy line long range infiltration. The theme of the squad is very much infiltrating, head hunting and causing chaos in the enemy's rear echelon. It was a challenge to free hand the alpha logo since I had never done it before, but once it was finished the whole squad came together real well. With the rumors of a new Chaos codex coming soon I might be returning to my Alpha roots sooner then later.....so be ready for the return of the Faithless! <br />

<br />
One of the first things that appealed to me about this new codex was the new addition of Jet Fighters. A long time realm of Forge World, it was a surprise to see a true aerospace fighter in an army codex finally. I was sold and when the model came out and saw how cool it looked I was fired up to start this army finally. I started in this hobby build plastic jet model kits and I always like a good fighter in a game, hence my appeal to Aeronautica Imperialis. Now my Dark Eldar have some aerospace support to lead the speeder army into battle. This is only the wing man of the 2 fighter flight I plan on building for the army, the next one will be more detailed as they will be the flight leader. <br />

<br />
Along with Drazhar I put together a squad of Incubi for the army. I needed some more close combat nastiness that I could mount on a venom, and this unit was an effective choice. In addition I have only 4 Incubi, so if Drazhar needs a ride on a venom he can join them and make the unit even more choppy<br />

<br />
Let me start off with a recently finished HQ choice, Drazhar! Simply put he is a super ninja crazy character for any DE Army. His rules appealed to me, and I wanted to have at least one good close combat unit in the game besides all the shooting and venom's. I have already used him a few games of the new Zone Mortalis expansion and he is just a lot of fun to see him ninja anyone in his way. While I already have an Archon for an HQ choice this character allows me to use an HQ who can hold his own alone in a battle. <br />

<br />
It's been a while since I posted anything about my Dark Eldar experiment but I haven't abandoned it just yet. In fact I have finished a few units in the last few months I plan to post pics of here. I now have a fully painted legal army and I'm working on a few more items in the future as well. So here is a little preview of what I have been up too with my new Dark Eldar army, The Starjammers!<br />

<br />
I picked up the Mawloc kit on the day the new nid codex hit the shelves. I wanted to see what this new kit offered with the option to make a trygon, I was curious to see if it could hold up my already in hand Forge World Trygon kit, which I think is the best bug kit out there still. This kit sat for a while along with the army waiting for the day the fleet would form. Now I have taken the chance to build and paint it up as a test run for my FW kit to be painted in the future. I chose to go with the Mawloc of the 2 kit options since I already had a resin Trygon waiting. This kit was fairly simple to assemble and it was a lot of fun to paint. I'm looking forward to putting this monster on the table to burrow and assault all over the battlefield, and soon to be joined by a Trygon too! <br />

<br />
Reinforcements have arrived! This is my next wave of hormagaunts to join the swarm. A total of 23 more gaunts will join the swarm to assault enemy forces. These guys were extra gaunts I had laying around along with a few extras I had gotten in some trades that were in bad condition. After a little extra work on some of these bugs I got them up to speed and ready to join the others I had finished earlier this year. You can never have enough of these bugs to help in assaults. <br />

<br />
The Malanthrope is my third HQ addition to the swarm. A ForgeWorld model with some unique rules and background. The model is smaller then a Hive Tyrant, but it is taller then one. It's not really meant for front line duty, but it gives me an extra option when it comes to HQ choices. The new imperial armor apocalypse 2 book has new rules for this beast, but I haven't had a chance to check them out yet. It was fun, quick, and easy addition to the swarm.<br />

<br />
It's funny that 2 years ago I made a post on this blog about my Necron forces and here we are 2 years later almost to that date, and guess what we have! WOO HOO! The Toasters are BACK!!! <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I have to say that this has been an expensive weekend for me, with this new codex coming out. The new book looks like a lot of fun to play. I plan on eating up all the information in the book this week and thinking about where I want to take this army. There are just so many new ideas, along with some awesome looking new models, and still more to come in the future. I am really excited about this turn of events. <br />
<br />
Here is my original article back in 2009....<br />
<br />
<a href="http://arkosalphalegion.blogspot.com/2009/11/necrons-rising-out-of-their-tombs.html" target="_blank">Necrons rising out of their tombs</a><br />
<br />
Here are my intial thoughts on this new book...... <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Background</u></strong>: I don't see why people seem to be up in arms over this. There isn't much groundbreaking in the background that should shake the metal hearts of old players. The necrons now have a bit more personality which I think is a good thing. For once in a codex the past, for the most part stays the past, and we concentrate on the here and now(40K that is). Most of the background dealt with the current 40K world, which was a good thing to see. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Special Rules</u></strong>: I have to say that Entropic Strike is the biggest new toy we get to play with. As others perhaps have pointed out the ability to take away a Save and Armor Value is apt. Necrons are suppose to have superior tech, why not. Also this ability is not a codex breaking as say Jaws in Space Wolves that wipes out whole units. Yes I think the ability to eat armor is funny and scarabs will see a lot of table time, but they are still swarms and they will die fast with an experienced player. Entropic can be annoying but it can be controlled too. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Army List</u></strong>: I have to say I was impressed by the lay out, as of right now I have yet to find any unit that is broke like a Nob Biker or GK Paladin wound allocation nightmare unit. The Necron book seems fairly balanced, and there does seem to be a lot of awesome in the elite choices, but then again that is why they are called ELITE. Still unlike the Nid codex where all the hotness is in the elite choices the Fast Attack has it's share of fun, in addition to Scarab Swarms, the wraiths and destroyers look useful as always as does the new Tomb Blade unit. In my past experience with necrons the Fast Attack has always been my #2 place for boosting my necron armies behind #1 Troops. It still seems to hold that spot for me. The heavy choices look good and with the Heavy and Regular Destroyers now listed as one FA choice it opens up for more heavy support. I am looking forward to the new Cylon Fighter(Yes it does look like a Cylon Raider from BSG) which I'm sure will come out in the next model wave or 2. The HQ choices are huge, and one thing I do like a lot is that this time they avoided the silliness of "Take this leader and use X non-Troop unit AS troops" stupidity. The only character that seems to do this is one lord with a the ability to make an already immortal troop choice into raving maniacs. I have yet to read up on all the characters but the new Destroyer Lord will be fun, with higher T he is worthy still to lead my Phalanx to war. The new use for Lords is similar to a mix of Count of Archon(DE)+Wolf Guards, with the ability to spread the wealth so to say into every unit in your army. From my first few looks this army list seems to have a similar style to the DE balanced army list, where you can have fun playing it in different ways.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Models</u></strong>: I picked up my models and I even got the additional Cryptek guy to join the court of the overlord. I have to say these are some of the best looking models they have had in this range in a long time. I really like the new Immortal models and the new command barge thing looks cool. For those of you with Pariah ownership problems, they are now Lynchguards, as the basic Lych comes armed similar to a Pariah. All of the currently existing necron models can be used in this book. From the looks of it, this is only the tip of the iceberg, there are a number of units that still need to come out and from the drawings they look awesome and I can't wait to get them. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Overall</u></strong>: I have to say for a Ward book this new Toaster codex is not too shabby. He hasn't gone overboard with his usual stupidity as he has done in the past with marine books, and the army list actually looks like it can support multiple builds fairly well. So I don't expect to see a canned necron list that is a clone list at every tourney I play. Yes there are some typical "Easy Button" things in the codex, but that happens no matter who writes these things. Overall I have to give this book a thumbs up so far....I still have a bit more to read up on it before I can say yay or nay for sure but so far I am smiling at the prospect of wasting some Salamander Marines..... <br />
<br />
Still with this late 2011 release I am still pushing to get my existing projects, mainly my Tyranid Hive Fleet finished by the end of the year. Once this is done I will be looking forward to getting stuck in some necron new shiny syndrome for a while. I guess my Dark Eldar side project will be slowed for a little while longer. I can't wait to get back to building this toaster army full speed once again, both 40K and BFG. <br />
<br />

<br />
This is my first Nid Special Character model. The Deathleaper never caught my eye as much as the Red Terror did in the past, but when this bug became part of the regular codex I got one to try it out. So far he has seen action in one battle and died a brave bug to Tau Commander Farsight. I will have to keep trying him in other games when I have the space and points to deploy it. This bug will be the top bug of my new Lictor force now. It was a fun side paint project at least, maybe next time around they will bring back the Red Terror.....<br />

<br />
Lictors are a great deep strike unit if you have some points to spare. I was lucky to score 2 of the special edition Lictors from the last army box set, when I got one in my army box I bought and then later on in a random buy online. I also have the standard lictor that is sold in the current line. I think this will be the limit of my lictor force for a good while. Sneaky Gitz!<br />

<br />
Time to expand that new Fast Attack selection with another unit or 2. When I first got the last Tyranid army box set I got 3 Raveners in the set, which I didn't do much with at first. As I gathered more units I got 3 more raveners, but these were not complete. So I split the ones that were complete with all arms and made the others into a rending claw unit. So I was able to field 2 units of 3 raveners each. of course I've been told this is too small a unit, but I will have to give it a try when I can and see how they perform. I'm thinking of teaming these guys with the Trygon or Mawloc, sounds like fun! <br />

<br />
The Venomthrope was on my must have list of new bugs to get once I had finished enough units to make him worth taking. Well lucky for me I waited long enough that when I did go and pick one up it had hit the shelves in Finecast. While this is not my first finecast model, it my first finished one from the few I do own. I have to say that this one was worth waiting for in finecast. It only tooke me a few days to get it done. Now to try it out and see what kind of chaos I can create with all the fun special rules for this critter. <br />

<br />
Let's start this new wave of my Nid army small but mighty! The mighty Spore Mine has been around for a long time, and I have been looking for these guys since I finished the Biovores. I was lucky to fine them all in a box over the summer and I got to work on these guys so I can use the Biovores. In addition these guys make for some fun terrain interdictor with the deep strike rule for spore mine clusters. Now that the new codex makes them all the same type the different types of mines are for looks only. I got 16 of these guys now and ready to be fired off to the enemies of the swarm!<br />

<br />
With the recent assault by mother nature on my location on the East Coast, and a few other events in my life my time posting on the blog has been limited this past summer. I am still working on my Tyranid army project and I plan to post some new content on the army soon! <br />
<br />
In addition to my work on painting new units for my Nid army, I have also found and built some new additions to the army that were in storage. As you can see by my listing of projects for the blog I have added a number of new units. Spore Mines....Raveners....Trygon....and even a Mawloc.....I am moving on to another round of the armies growth. This doesn't mean I haven't stopped building up the smaller bugs, I still have a good number of Termagants and Hormagaunts I am still rolling out to rise the size of those broods. In addition I am already thinking about another 3rd wave of ideas I want to work on when I am nearly completed with this new phase of the army. Last month I wanted to release an army gallery post of what I have finished, but due to my old PC taking a lightning strike those plans have been on hold. Now that I am back online I will be posting that soon! <br />
<br />
The Dark Eldar project is still moving forward as well. I have been working on lots of Venom's and Razorwings! I will be posting a few pics of my current projects soon. I hope to have the majority of this army done soon, and possibly getting a chance to finally play with the army in a few games before the year is out......<br />
<br />
Finally I am hearing rumors of a possible Necron release soon! Hmmmmmmmm.....my oldest fully painted army might actually get some table time finally! I'm curious to see what this possible new codex might have in store. Of course it's still all rumor talk, and I have other things to keep me busy before this happens, but I am excited to see a new Necron codex being whispered about. I haven't truly used this army since the days of Medusa V when the Phalanx of the Bronze Face was a part of that last world campaign. WOO HOO!!! <br />
<br />
Alright then.....let me see what I can post soon...<br />
<br />

<br />
This is my second part to the Termagant force. This time all the little buggers have Spinefist. While not as effective as before give them the poison upgrade and an alpha warrior with the same load out and watch your enemies drop like flies. Who is going to say no to a twin linked BS 6 poison shot, oh yeah! These guys are going to be a fun surprise for anyone looking to take down a simple meat shield. These guys started as a random force of just a few similar models I had picked up in an auction buy. When I finally came around to working on these guys I liked the idea of the super shooty poison bugs. So here we are, another simple and fun unit to add more mass to my growing swarm and a little surprise to boot too! FIRE!!!<br />

<br />
Time for a little Nid update. This time we continue adding more troops to the army. The swarm of Termagants joins the hive army. These guys are a great meat shield for all the other forces out there in the army, they lead the charge and with so many on the table it is hard for anyone to wipe them out in one turn of shooting. Besides who wants to unleash what is following them anyways right. <br />

<br />
Time for a little side project, the Alpha Warrior idea came to me when I was using my spinegant brood in a game. Why not create an alpha warrior that would give this unit superior ballistic skill and make it twin linked. Enter this guy who was a refugee from my many buys, already built but armed with what I needed some spinefist! With a little bit of work he has joined the swarm to lead a brood to war! <br />

<br />
Did someone say we need some troops? Ask and ye shall receive...I have finished most of the needed troops for my new army. 2 squads of Trueborn Warriors and 3 squads of regular troops. The incbi are still in the painting stage, once they are done I will post new pictures of them. For now I am just glad to get this part of building the army done. Now it's onto armor, bikes, and jets! WOO HOO!! More to come soon! <br />
<br />

<br />
A former creation from the last edition codex transplanted to this current one. The Tusker was a nasty anti-armor beast, and still is with crusher claws and tusk. A bit more diminished now but the model was still a lot of fun to build and paint with all the nasty spikey bug bits to go.<br />
