Dark Eldar: Drazhar

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.

The Dark Eldar Experiment (Part 4)

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!

Tyranids: Mawloc

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!

Tyranids: Reinforcements from the Hive Fleet!

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.

Tyranids: Malanthrope

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.

The Return of Lord Axalon and his Necron Phalanx

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!!!

Tyranids: Deathleaper

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.....
