So in the summer, myself and Phil hope to play a system-wide campaign.

We'll be running a single planet campaign around Easter just to see how it works.

Anyway, it'll combine:




And of course the normal 40k rules. The plan is to have 5 planets, each consisting of 7 tiles (ie 1 central tile and 6 surrounding tiles), and also run the standard fleet-based campaign rules for BFG.

Howdy folks. After dragging myself away from Space Marine.... I was able to finish updating 4 of my squads from my 10+ year old BA force. I present to you 3 tactical squads and 1 devestator squad.

What have I done you ask..

I have removed as many mould lines that I missed 10 years ago that I coulld, without causing to much extra work now.
I have removed baldy heads and replaced them with either new BA helms or BA heads.
I have added Sculted back pack flags to the Sergeants and painted squad markings on all the models.
Other than that, I have given all models a generous wash of Delvin Mud, and then bring the red back a lil with watered down Blood Red. And repainted some of the detailing.

Sounds like more that it is really. But anywho.. PICS

2nd Squad led by Sergeant Arvo.


5th Squad led by Sergeant Pattrazi.

Really loving painting these guys, taking my time adding layers of ink washes and highlights.

Still plenty to do...

What do you think?

Made some progress with my Devestator Squad, but nothing really worth posting.

However while in town, I found this little star in a charity shop.


The box was rather tatty round the edges, but the model is completely untouched inside. Everything still on sprews and in unopened polythene bags. Instruction and decals included. And all the princely sum of £1.50!


I've been thinking of doing a small(ish) guard detatchment as Allies using Mantic Warpath Corperation figures. Now this 1/35 scale challenger II is about the same length as the Baneblade, but a fraction narrower and shorter. But I'm thinking it could pass for a medium heavy range. ...
