Expanding My Blog Empire

Well it’s a new month, and I am expanding my internet Empire! Recently I’ve been posting a lot of imperial content on the blog, and with the addition of the Grey Knights last year it’s gotten larger. So now that this site has grown and gotten establish, I am expanding to add a new Blog. This blog will cover my many Imperial Projects, including such things as Titans, Aeronautica Imperialis, and even some xenos like Eldar. Since I will be very involved in my Club’s GamesDay 2010 project this year for the imperial side, I thought I would take that work to that site as well.

The site is going to be primarily an Imperial Guard site, since that is my most active of my imperial forces. The theme of the site will be the Rynn’s World conflict between Orks vs Imperials. This will also include my Crimson Fist space marines, and my older Rynn’s World Heavy Guard, that will be turning into the Rynnsguard IG Force. Inspired by the recent Rynn’s World novel as background this site will be a counter to the Anarchy’s Heart. As always enjoy and comment a lot! Thanks!

Alpha Legion Chosen/Stealth Squad

The Governor stood up as the marine captain and his second entered the office "Welcome heroes of the imperium, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our world." He said
The Captain looked at the Governor and nodded as he looked around and the office "I am Captain Galen of his most glorious Inquisition, Ordo Xeno and we are here to assist the local forces with your current xeno problem." He said
The Governor nodded "Yes, a new Hive Fleet has begun to assault our sector, segmentum command has begun mobilizing the local forces, but it's going to take some time, and our PDF is preparing for a possible invasion, Hive Fleet Hydra they are calling it."
"Our Salamander Chapter forces will soon follow I expect, for now we will begin making plans to hold out." The Alpha Legion commander grinned as he looked at the Governor.

One of the things that seem to fit the Alpha Legion style was sneaking troops and using them to flank your enemies. With the current codex the one unit that excels at this are Chosen Chaos Marines. They are an elite choice, so your limited to 3 units in the FoC, but still this unit has Alpha Legion written all over it. You can pack a lot of firepower into this unit and cause major mayhem with them once they outflank your enemy forces. Arkos chosen were notorious in the Vraks campaign for landing behind enemy lines disguised as space marines and crossing the lines into rebel territory to join their master. Legion also had a unit called Stealth Marines, that were elite Alpha Legion marines who used stealth to strike from unexpected directions. These two examples inspired me to build my own variant of the Stealth Marines in disguise, I took the Chosen Marine entry and built a squad to look like a unit of Ordo Xeno Deathwatch Salamander Marines. I broke out all the bits for this squad and armed them with everything Chosen marines are armed with, and keeping them in the guise of Loyalist marines.



Commanders Codename: Commander Galen "Black Knight"
Unit Name: Stealth Squad RX-79
Type: Arkos Elite Chosen
History: Known for their skills in stealth and disguise squad RX-79 has conducted many infiltration missions behind enemy lines with success. Commander Galen has built a core of troops who have trained and fought together for so long that each marine knows his brothers move before they are made some times. Galen often will employ the disguise of the Ordo Xeno Deathwatch, because its a lesser known branch of the inquisition orders, while applying the authority it comes with to get behind enemy lines and accomplish their mission without giving themselves away to the enemy. The Salamander Chapter has for a long time known of this unit, but has had little luck tracking them down and wiping them out for all the offense they have cause in their name.











Compared to REAL Deathwatch marines, what do you think?



Enjoy! :)

1st Stormtrooper Squad finished!

So here are the final results of my fist Stormtrooper squad. I’m considering adding some special weapons to the team in the future, possibly some Meltaguns or Plasma guns. I will also add on to the squad with a Rhino later on, for now they are walking along with the other grey knights.











Enjoy! :)

The To Do List for 2010

Well it's time to sit back and take stock of where I stand and where I am going. Being the beginning of the year it’s a good time to make a fun To Do List of my most wanted projects to finish. March is rolling around soon, and this will mark 2 years since I took the dive into Chaos, and slowly I'm getting close to the magical 10K number of fully painted and based points. So many projects and so little time, but this is the battle plan, at least till the middle of the year when I will cook up a new To Do list to focus on. Of course this is never solid, as other things are bound to step in and take priority. The biggest issue right now is what I will be doing for our club to help out with in this year’s Games Day event. If I can finish at least half of this list victory will be MINE!

Reinforcements from the Warp!

My Grey Death Legion grew last month with the addition of 21 plague bearers as lesser daemons. During the last open customer market at the bunker I was able to score two squads of these little buggers in a good deal, along with a greater daemon of Nurgle. The GD is currently being built, but these guys were easy to paint up and ready for tournament use in my army. I've always wanted to field some demonic forces along with my Plague Marine troops, but I never had the right models to use with them. Using other none nurgle models never felt well, and I didn't want to convert something. I was hoping GW would make these guys in plastic soon, but then I got this deal and figured why not and got at least 21 daemons, which I can use in future Codex: Daemon armies if I should ever try that dex out for a test drive. With the ability to assault on the turn they appear on the table, these guys will be an annoying unit for anyone to deal with, and fun for me!


For Grandfather Nurgle!


Guts....Guts...and more Guts!


I'm thinking of the #1.....


Which way did they go....


Nurgle Provides more Plague Foulness to the GDL!

New Allies to the Anarchy's Heart

Arkos looked on as the Stormbird finally finished landing and the assault ramp slowly dropped down. "I believe these are the the new allies the High Command informed us of Captain Arkos" The Shredder said as they stood waiting for the envoy to disembark.

"The Markings reminds me of the Slaanesh Subjugator we saw in battle last year." Arkos said quietly. "Perhaps we were being tested then. This should prove to be an interesting alliance."

So after finishing my Subjugator last year, I gave some thought to creating a small Emperor's Children force to go along with my engine of destruction. After a few deals here and there, gathering up some bits online, and getting a cool mounted model for the commander, I began to scheme up this new army. The Subjugator provided the basic paint scheme of this new force. Here is my prototype model, the only one finished so far. I have a mix of both current noise marines and some previous edition ones too I plan to work into a combined force.

This is will be a change from the Grey Death Legion with more expensive models points wise. Noise Marines are the cheapest cult troops in the CSM Dex right now, and I think under-rated in my opinion. A good squad of these guys with noise weapons might be a boost to my regular Alpha marines in a battle, in terms of firepower alone. Along with the marines I have a squad of daemonetts I plan to add on as lesser daemons.

Hive Fleet Eclipse Awakens.....

This past weekend marked the return of one of my all time fave armies in 40K, TYRANIDS! When I first began playing 40K the two armies that stood out for me were IG and Tyranids, because of the movie Aliens being my fave movie of all time. Nids are just a fun and crazy change from the usual humans of 40K, be it IG or Marines. Due to my other armies being more of a priority to paint, I haven't given my bugs that much paint time. I just enjoy gaming with this army for the most part.

The new Codex is just awesome, the new background is cool to read. To read up on a Nid vs Necron battle is killer cool! Some of the Ork, Chaos Forces and even Daemonic forces under siege by these buggy monster was awesome to read about. The new characters and units now available have really spruced up this army a lot. Not to mention all the conversion ideas that are now floating about. Along with picking up a codex I grabbed up 2 boxes of the new Gargoyles, and a new Trygon. The models are some of the best and most unique product put out by GW. I have already built one box of Gargoyles and they look fantastic! My rolling horde of gaunts will be seeing time on the table soon once I digest this new codex. Can you tell I'm excited....

My own creation Hive Fleet Eclipse will be awakening once more to devour all in its path again.

The FW Trygon is the Coolest looking Bug put out there...in my opinion...
