9 months nearly since the last post and no pictures, hrmm. Change of plans! I started to assemble on mass and relieased several things. A) Wasn't happy with the models B) Wasn't happy with the weapons & accesroies and C) Had no concrete plan for how many and what kind of troops I wanted.
So the project took a back seat while I got on with starting from scratch. A clean slate...sort of. Since picking up the hobby back in 07 I've ploughed loads of money into nothing because I've rushed, changed my mind and then changed it again. Hell I probably have been able to afford a complete DKoK army going off what I've spent so far! That being said I've now got a ton of models that need so much repair work it's not worth the effort.

The biggest obstacle for me has being finding the right balance between W40k/Imperium and the Helghast theme, because I can't sculpt or model it has been so far simple head swaps but this never really satisfied what I had in mind. Something that always bothered me...

I just couldn't leave it alone again. This time I decided that the shoulders needed a little something, and I ended up adding some pauldrons.



Other than magnetising the weapons the Dreadknight is (at least for the moment!) complete.

Now looks like this:



Got a few bits of filling and painting to do around it, and it needs some blinds for the windows, then I can get some cupboards in with a gaming board on top

Had some spare time last week, so added some paint to some models.
Still plenty of work to be done but they are a pleasure to work on.

Cassandra the Showgirl, to add to my Rasputina Crew. Nice combat abilities and with Grande Finale might be able to change the results of the Strategy.


December Acolyte - Some long range sniping from this model to add to the short range ice blasts from the rest of the crew.


Trying to get a dirty nasty look to Teddy, think it will look better once I've done his claws, teeth and eyes.
But what to put on his front heart shaped space???

Having a long summer break between Contracts - so have time to play big games.

Had 2 games of FoW and persuaded Stu & Ian to take me on at "Total War" mission, this is played with larger than normal forces, we went for 3000pts from one Company.
There are 6 objectives on the table which give you 1vp each turn held, 2 in each players deployment and 2 6" from center line. We played over a 6' x 7' table.

Ruined Town including New Railway Station

Russian Village - latest purchase is the Church
