Iron Warriors 5th Grand Company & Black Crusade: VIXI

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your works honor the Blood God. I cannot imagine how much time and effort went into (and are still going into) the Rhino, the Flesh Tearers traitor, the bikers, the Champion and his entourage.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

Just notice later in the update, after take the photos it seem my camera had the wrong setting. Just it seem to be re-setting itself ever often, but it sorted now & should hopeful be ok for the next update.

But game I had during last week against a new person to my gaming club with there Ultramarines. I think I'm going to use the same list against my friend Tau this week.

Also something that be arrive this week. I spotted this FW Iron Warrior Dreadnought on ebay as buy now. It becoming rare to get them & just I wouldn't mind one more of them as a standard Helbrute for my Iron Warriors. One idea I'm having is to add some barbed wire around section of the model, but see how it goes with the Terminators first.

I've also got a Metal Daemon prince on the way, after today. That will be kept aside for the return of my Black Legion.

It also give me another model to paint, while waiting for the Shadowspear box set to get release... Which I was really hoping would have been this weekend :(

Then notice my camera setting was mess up.

Finial got the fourth Berserker Rhino finish just a few hour ago.

Then the Flesh Tearer Battle Brother.

I just need to add weather powder to the biker & that be both them complete. I was aim on trying to get another few models for the unit built, but I've recently ran out of a few parts I needed for the conversion. They should hopeful arrive during the week, as I would like to get the remaining models for this unit built during the week & ready for painting. Try get a few converted up so there flying mid air.

I might possible have Friday off. So if that happen I'm going to get the rest of the Biker built during then.

A Metal Daemon Prince I got from ebay last week, who'll be added to my World Eater warband & allow me to get up to 2000pts now. When I got the model, a few part where chop off like the spine on the back & the neck area. So I've quickly replace them with parts from the Helbrute kit. So on the neck, if the spine & the cable part. While on the back of the model I've just use the left over spine part from the Helbrute kit. Then bit of green stuff blend them into the model. So he going to get painted during tomorrow.

Right now he just been spray with Khorne Red (Flesh) & Mephiston red (armour). I'm thinking of painting the skin like the Flesh Hounds. So see how that goes during tomorrow. I also need to try get a Khorne icon cut onto A4 paper & get that spray onto the left shoulder pad or make a smaller sponge version tie in with the rest of my warband.

Then the Cultist that where getting painted during last week. I just need to add tuft grass to them & get the whole unit varnish & that pretty much them. So if Friday happen, aim spend a small bit time getting that done.

I've also gone back to a few models I've had a while. In this case, the Rhino for my Iron Warriors. It just to add some of the Forge World transfer to them. It nice going back to models that where built & painted a few year ago & adding some new stuff to them. Just add that new life. Also a lot been release since most of the Rhino where painted, in some case I would have added them back then, like the transfer.

So I'll be aim on getting all my Rhino base models (predator, Rhinos, etc..) with transfer added to them. I've got a week off in May, where I aim to keep a day aside for that.

Then a new Space Wolf trophy replace a older one I had as well as adding one of the new Bloodletter skulls.

Finial getting the squad of Ultramarine varnish during today. Really happy how they've turn out & as said it just because of painting a unit just over a year ago, which sadly wasn't for me. I've got the commander from the Conquest magazine which I might convert up.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent works. I especially appreciate the effort you put into the trophies on the Iron Warriors Rhino. (Suck it, Aeldari fools! Suck it all the way down!)

[Midnightmare]

Looking good IP :tu:

 

Liking the Rhino - you put so much detail into them, no boring metal bawkses for you! Also the Daemon Prince, you know it to be my fave 40k model. I like the spine conversion and looking forward to seeing where to go with him. Dark skin could be a good choice :tu:

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

The wait is over. A few hour ago, Games Workshop just preview Shadowspear which is up for advance order next weekend. I'm really looking forward to this. As well as looking forward to the Vigilus count down for Tuesday.

So I've agree to a few box set for those who are just after the Marine side.

Chaos Marines - One set will be going toward my Iron Warriors. Just following on from the Black Stone Marine I posted a while back, see how they look with the parts that make my Iron Warriors my own, with things like the Tabard & set other element that make my Iron Warrior know.

Spider - They will mainly go toward my World Eater & Black Legion. I get that least one added to the Iron Warriors.

Greater Possessed - They will also mainly be for my World Eater & Black Legion. Warhammer World display, which my World Eater are inspired by. It base upon the 7th ed era Daemonkin & saw a lot of Possessed mix in with Chaos Marines & Berserker while they attack the Ultramarines. So I'd like to think of them as the Dark Elf monster we see in Thor movie.

Again I might add one to my Iron Warriors. Dead Sky Black Sun saw Warsmith Honsou have a Possessed Iron Warrior who acted as his bodyguard.

Obliterators - Mainly for the Iron Warriors & Black Legion. I will not be adding them to my World Eater.

Recently adding another FW Iron Warrior dreadnought to my 5th Grand Company. I've just added barbed wire to the right leg & to the power fist. I wanted to sort add that dread as it would add that bit more danger if a Helbrute ran though a trench, thing of the Guards who try to hold there ground or try to take on the Helbrute in combat.

Trophy are base upon the Warhammer World Dark Zone campaign event. The Berserker been base upon my warband, along with Ork rep the planet there on. Then Bloodletter skull just look cool.

Then spent Wednesday & Saturday painting up the classic metal Daemon Prince for my World Eater warband. The model just need varnish, then gloss varnish & Blood for the Blood god to pull everything together. The neck & spine having to be fix with parts from the plastic Helbrute kit.

Just got the two Berserker Biker sorted a few hour ago, so I can get them painted for this week. Right now I'm having to leave space on the base, waiting for the new plastic Flesh Hound to be release. So having to roughly guess where they will be place & hope when there release, they will fit onto the base with no issue. Just got three more Biker to build up to get the unit to eight models.

I've also had to quickly built up a Exalted Champion arm with a Chainaxe. Ryan who I got my 1000th game with the IW's last year, send this FW chainaxe when they sent another Alpha Legion trophy for my Siege Knight. So I had to try use the part.

I'm thinking of trying to get the Mark of Khorne onto the face plate, see if I can sort that out with transfer.

The squad of Primaris Ultramarine now complete.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Daemon Prince, World Eaters Bikers, and their Ultramarines foes look great. I really admire the effort you put in the Iron Warriors Dreadnoughts, and hope to see the completed models soon.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

That four set of Chaos Marines from Shadowspear due to arrive next weekend. Mainly been splitting the box set with a lot of people who are after the Primaris Marines. So two set will go toward my new Black Legion. One for the World Eater & another for the Iron Warriors.

Also I'm really looking forward to the second Vigilus book. Seen how the narrative turn out & what detachment Chaos will get in this,

Then also the return of the new Abaddon which I will be buying. In fact I am just re-reading the Black Legion novel after finish re-reading Storm of Iron recently.

But most of all, I am looking forward to the new Havocs. Pretty much, this year is all going to be about Chaos & everything else been push to one side.

Then just a few photos from my game on Thursday there. using the new Daemon Prince & Bike unit.

The Helbrute nearly there. I just need to get the FW IW transfer sheet for the Iron Warrior icon that will get added to the left knee pad.

The new Exalted Champion for my World Eater. I wanted to add a cut up bottom half MoK to the face plate.

This week will see these two Berserker biker painted up.

As said a few time, I'm really looking forward to return to collecting the Black Legion. They where my second army for Warhammer 40k & my first Chaos force back when I started the hobby in 1996. While I may have forgotten set part of my warband history. The main part is, they will be the Hounds of Abaddon. My warband was Khorne heavy as back then the multi part models for them where release & made it a bit easier to collect. I want to get a updated version of my Lord who will led them once more.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

Needless to say I'm really looking forward to the Chaos range, with the preview we've been seeing over the past for weeks. I could not care where the codex ranking gaming wise, this has never been the reason for me collecting a army. For Chaos, it the same reason today as it was back in 1996 & why I've kept going back to collecting them more than any other faction over the years. Every time I've use my Iron Warriors, they've been fun games because of the majority of people I've game against & as said before, it the epic moment that have always stood out.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/03/13/chaos-space-marines-focus-the-lord-discordant/

There going to be that least three of these models, between the Iron Warriors, World Eater & the return of my Black Legion. I've got a few idea to convert the model for my Iron Warriors right now, but I need to see the spure to see if part of it will be possible.

Now it just wait to see what the rest of the kits will look like

The Dreadnought nearly complete. I'm going to add weather powder to him & the other three Forge World IW Dreadnought I've got. Just tie them in with the tanks & the Dreadnought for my World Eaters. As well as apply soot weather powder to part of the engine & heavy flamer.

Trophy are base upon the Warhammer World Dark Zone campaign event, on the narrative for the World Eater vs Orks.

The Exalted Champion also finish.

I was hoping to get the World Eater Biker painted today. But ended up with a cold so meant I was not able to get to much done today.

Update Warsmith Abhorred Riddick.

I though it was time to make a bit of a update to Warsmith Abhorred Riddick, Daemon Prince version. The current model (seen in the log) will still be staying. My aim to try make this one fit a bit more toward the originally power armour version of the Warsmith.

It just, a long time about in the 3.5 era. A Daemon Prince could take Daemonic Speed, allow him to move that bit faster. But that was remove & to get a Daemon Prince the move that bit faster, he needed a Jump Pack. More so during 6th & 7th ed, with the loss of Eternal Warrior as a standard rule for them & with Tau Rail guns been S10 & able to pick them out with little to no hassle.

But 8th ed change a lot of thing & for me, this has been by far my favriote edition of the rules.

I want to try bring Warsmith Abhorred Riddick back so he can take part in more games.

I'm just waiting on a bits order to arrive. But here a preview into the shoulder pad so far using a IW Brass etching. Once he built, have a bit on the trophy that he will have, as always been base upon games I've fought over the years & as a few new once need to get added

This was back from a Warhammer World event I attended in 2005 & how Abhorred Riddick use to look

The originally power armour version 2001

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your works honor Khorne. The bloodstains on the Dreadnought and the Exalted Champion are good touches.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

Shadowspear finial arrive. With in a few moment of my store open & getting my mail order. Seem Khorne chose to favour me, seen me getting a nose bleed with in those few moment.

As said in the last update, I've had a cold during this week. But with it snow today, seem everywhere chose to put there heating up as high as possible which made me a lot worst than I had been during the passed week, as well as ending up getting a headache near the end of the day. I don't react well to heat & this is what often happen.

But here few photo I'd taken during those moment getting Shadowspear & when friends give me the Chaos side from there set. So mange to get four set of Chaos Marines from the Shadowspear box sets.

I've not really been able to get any of the models built, again due to headache it put a stop to that. But I have tomorrow off & keep a bit of time aside to build them

One set will go toward the Iron Warriors

One set will go toward the World Eater

Two set will go toward the return of my Black Legion.

During yesterday I spent a bit of time converting up a bit of a updated version of Warsmith Abhorred Riddick. Just a hour ago when my headache wasn't as bad, mange to get the engine from the Venom Cralwer added to the back, taken idea from the finecast Warpsmith model.

Just I want to bring Warsmith Abhorred Riddick back into my games & have that option. Tomorrow just get green stuff added.

Trophy wise

- Eldar Farseer, base on a friend force I fought back in 2008

- Space Wolf, base on 2012 game I've commented on here quite a lot

- Black Legion, base on my friend Ian force. Since 2008-2010 we ALWAYS seem to end up gaming against each other that ever single local event.

- Iron Warrior Warsmith, from game during Throne of Skulls September 2017.

- Ether a Ultramarine or Novamarine captain. I'm not quite sure for the moment. Or another option is base upon my old DIY Chapter.

- Ork skull base on my friend goff force.

Chaos Icon from the Black Stone fortress Renegade Psychier. Just the Chaos star fit the style of the once I use with the brass etching & free hand painting. Other skull are just replace once I didn't like on the metal Daemon Prince.

As always, there seem to be a Fallen Space Marine

The Khorne biker. I was trying catch up, when I was not really able to paint them on Wednesday due to my cold. While I did get a bit painting done today, again the nose bleed & then later headache put a end to that :( But there not to much left to get done & time permitting might be able to spare a hour to paint them or as off Friday I will be off for two weeks.

Then another Dreadnought for the Iron Warriors. I want to have the option of three Twin Lascannon Helbrute as I've always like using Dreadnought in my games. One of the event I want to attend, I'm thinking of bring them with Warsmith Abhorred Riddick.

The one Chaos Marine that got built a hour ago. He going to be the test model for my Black Legion. Part of me thinking of follow the Warhammer TV guide for painting Thousand Sons. Where you spray them gold first, add shades & then block in the abaddon black colour onto the armour. But I might quickly varnish the models to help the abaddon black stick on a bit more & not rub off the models.

They will be the Hound of Abaddon warband. As my old Black Legion force was Berserker heavy, back when the plastic Berserker where first release & made it a bit easier for collecting a force back then when I was still in high school.

So seem like I've got a lot to get done. From Friday I will have two week off. The second week, I want to keep two days aside to just get all the shadowspear models built & base for my three armies.

[Xenith]

Any update on those terminators? I'm keen to see how the barbed wire looks!

 

I'm torn. I love all chaos legions, but also want a unitfied army. I dont know whether to paint shadowspear as my IW, or move on from them to Black Legion or Night Lords...

With the Terminators.  I was going to build the unit, but since seen the brand new Terminator kit.  I'm now waiting for them to be release.  However, I do need to model a Icon Terminator for a current unit & I think I will use him as a test model to get a idea & I've got small amount brass etching I can use toward this conversion.  So keep a eye over the next few days.

I've also spotted a company that make nice brass etching barbed wire, so I'm aim on order them soon - just any money I currently have is been kept aside for the Chaos release.

 

My long term aim would be to collect the 9 Legion & make sure have something different between them.  For keep them unified, base & spot colour help a lot & the key part.  I can happily use my World Eater next to my Iron Warriors & they wouldn't look out of place because of this.  Same with the Renegade Guard, Khorne Daemons, Death Guards. 

Another way it maybe making a sort of mark.  If you've read the Black Legion novel, it talk about a Nurgle Warlord who has a warband of the Legion.  So having the same icon for the right shoulder pad could help a lot.

 

I know I'm currently looking that unit for Kill-team after seen the Chaos models on Saturday.

 

Update will be happing soon with Warsmith Abhorred Riddick.  Just currently bit busy trying get a few thing finish, before my holiday start (29th - 7th April) start.

My current army leader is a kind of IW Warmaster, another chosen separate from Abaddon who subsumes other warbands.

 

My original nurgle warband was 'The Cleaved', however as they are all supposed to have 100% sealed armour, the current DG models don't work for them. 

 

I guess I'm just undecided whether to have them as a separate warband enthralled to my Warsmith, an assimilated warband that has takenon the IW colours, or have them as IW dedicated the the respective god...or a mix of all!

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

I am still catching up on all the review on the codex Chaos & the Vigilus 2 book. The hype that level 9000 that the moment. While there has been a lot of cool release that have happen of the years, none off them have got me as hype as the Chaos Space Marines. It been 23 year of collect Chaos Space Marines over the years, the reason I collect them today is the same as back then & has always been a faction I have gone back to.

I did not expect this new Character. Needless to say the Iron Warriors, World Eater & Black Legion will all get there own version.

Then the Havocs. During today, the review have talk quite a lot about the changes Havocs have gotten... Only thing I am gutted about is, my current Autocannon squad & the "Autocannon" squad model with the assault cannon part. They had a few extra models added to the unit arm with Bolter. So there currently squadless, while I try to find units for them to join or where they can fit into that the moment.

Also the new models alone. Really like the Lascannon & launcher have the 2nd ed era vibe to them.

I've already order the updated codex Chaos, a box of Chaos Space Marines, Vigilus 2 book for the background. I think there the Black legion dice, as I like to have theme dice with my armies when I can help it. Abaddon going to be left until later. I have a few days off in May & I think I will set those days aside to get him painted. Where right now I am currently really busy during my two week off (started now) & going o be really busy that I feel I would not give the model the attesion it need to paint him. It was the same for Archon for Age of Sigmar.

Also though show a few photos taken from my game during the week there. Against a new member to my gaming club who has just gotten back into the hobby.

Warsmith Abhorred Riddick is almost there. Just need to varnish & get some of the finial detail. Also replace the Eldar trophy, as the one I did have was base upon a farseer & for the colour scheme it wasn't standing out to much.

Trying to get a close up of a few the trophy

So it know that I like to add trophy upon armies I've fought over the years. This is done to add narrative & a great way to remember those great games & epic moment that happen. So few that are on Warsmith Abhorred Riddick & have been in the passed.

Originally the Eldar trophy was base upon Farseer from my friend Eldar force from 2008. But it will now change to the standard troops, seen with the bone colour to try make it stand out a bit more. This has already been seen on a few of my models over the year.

I've also use one of the new Chaos Marine helmets. This is to rep my friend Black Legion force. Back in 2008 to 2010, we would ALWAYS end up gaming against each other that every single local tournament. It became a running joke on, which round would we like to get our game sorted. This went from our Chaos armies & onto our Space Wolves. Last time I fought my friend was 2013 & against there Black Legion with Daemon allies. I seem to remember the Slannesh Daemon slay a squad of Chaos Marines down to one model & slay there rhino transport. It cause the majority of the Slannesh Daemons to slay them self, failed there Ld test, leave my lone Iron Warrior standing there wonder what had happen.

Wolf trophy base upon the 2012 game I've spoke about a few time. It now my second close fought game where we had 3 models each & I like painting the Wolves trophy in the current scheme with Russ grey.

The Iron Warrior trophy base upon game I had that Throne of Skulls September 2017. My only aim was to get Warsmith Abhorred Riddick to slay there warsmith which he done, as well as slay the warpsmith as well.

The ork trophy base upon game against my friend, when I got to spend the day that Warhammer World for my birthday back in 2016 after Throne of Skulls.

Just model up a Terminator Icon model which I'm needing right away. This is going to be a test for the barbed wire, which should hopeful get done during tomorrow.

My time off start now & I'm wanting to try get as much hobby time kept aside during the two weeks. With the release of Chaos Marines happing next week, I'm really looking forward getting the brand new models & converting them.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on Daemon Prince Riddick. Did you name him after Vin Diesel's character in Pitch Black?

[Pearson73]

Riddick's coming on nicely, I've said it before, but the consistent presence of the same characters, even through reincarnations, as well as the personalised trophies is something that has made your army stand out to me.

 

The hammer of the new icon bearer looks cracking too.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks Pearson73

Update

The Iron Warriors travel once again to Warhammer World, to take part in Throne of Skulls March. As always I'm always looking forward to returning, to get some great games & been in a great environment for the hobby.

I've just return home a few hour ago & still getting use the losing a hour, with the clock change. But here a few photos from the weekend.

Really happy for the 5th Grand Company where up for Army nominee along side nine other armies. With the event team given me the fourth shelf, since there the fourth legion. With a Khorne Daemon force getting eight shelf.

Also my Chaos Siege Knight got the Icon of Legend award. With Legend happing on Saturday, allow everyone attending the event to enter squad, hero & monster/tank models.

Some of the stuff pick up during the Throne of Skulls weekend. I've not had the chance to really read the Vigilus book or codex Chaos in great detail. If I'm ok during tomorrow, I might try to get the new boxes of Chaos Marines built.

Before Throne of Skulls, I usely spend the week led up to the event painting up some new models or some extra stuff. In this case, my Siege Knight got a update with some new trophy. Since he was built in 2015, he fought in a lot of games & events. Seen a lot of epic moment. They will be cover in a future update. But felt it was right that I add those moment.

I also took the time to add a few new trophy to my FW Dreadnought on the day before travel to Nottingham. Some part have broken due to the case he was in falling onto the floor, this is pretty much due to a few people getting onto the train not willing to give me the space to sort myself out.

Then here the Terminator with Icon who was the - model before the event. Orignaly I was going to build a new squad of Terminators cover in barbed wire. But when Games Workshop preview the new Terminators models. I though it would be best to wait for them instead. But chose to try a few part on this model & he was added to a squad I've already got.

The White Scar trophy was to wind up one of the hobbiest I knew would be attending Throne of Skulls. They'd just been re-base there White Scars force recently & where also up for army nominee & they won the Hero of Legend for there Captain.

List of Campaign.

Return of Warsmith Abhorred Riddick. He got finish during the week as well. While he was not use in game during the weekend. Riddick was brought along in case I mange to get to use the boon chart.

But I think his first game going to be this Thursday. I'm really looking forward to trying out the new codex Chaos as well.

Thanks to Throne of Skulls, there going to be a few new trophy. From White Scar thank to Matt painting advice on them & Salamander for exsample which was the finial game of the weekend. Also sort out & finial add some Tau trophy.

I've still got this week off. So depend how I am tomorrow, it going to mainly be about building all those new models I have as there 60 Chaos Space Marines that the moment, Abaddon & rest of the Shadowspear to build.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

So past week was horrible. My camera drop & broke, my Ipod stop working & I've been pretty badly ill with a sinus infection. Only thing really stop everything getting worst was the new Chaos release. Right now I've been really busy building up the new Chaos Marines kits, from the standard, Terminators & Havocs. So trust that there going to be a lot of models over the next few updates.

But for now

Before Throne of Skulls March. I did a small update to the Siege Knight, which was mainly to add new trophy as he been in a lot of really great games. So the trophys I've added are:

- Grey Knight, my 999th game from Throne of Skulls April last year. Been hardest fought with just Dragio vs Lord Narach both on a wound each.

- Alpha Legion, the 1000th game against Ryan Alpha Legion.

- Crimson Fist base on Dave game from Warhammer World campaign weekend 2017. Mission where a Imperial Commander is a Saint. Chaos would get extra points for slain them, with more effect happing in the next game. It was my Knight who slay there Captain after already slay 30 Space Marines in combat.

- Iron Warrior, rep my game from Throne of Skulls September 2017 & with the narrative of the IW civil war

Here some of the new Chaos Space Marines been added to the Grand Company. I've been really happy with the look of the new models. I've said before I was never keen on the mutated look that the 6th ed Chosen models got & my worry was that Chaos would end up looking like them. That not how I want my Iron Warriors to look. But when the Black Stone fortress release happen, it give me hope & looking forward to this time.

Then Abaddon. The Chaos gods seem fit to allow me to pick up Abaddon during Throne of Skulls March. It be around May until I can paint him when I will have a few days off.

Then the new Warpsmith. Just need to get the base built & green stuff added during some point tomorrow.

Trophy wise, I think one Primaris helmet going to be base upon a Salamander. This will be base on the last game from Throne of Skulls March & it been a while since I've added one, but I think it would be the first Primaris Salamander trophy.
The other one will ether be a Space Wolf or Novamarine. I'll see how it goes with the banner & other detail on what will work best for contrast.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done. I especially like that Chaos Knight.

[Midnightmare]

Siege knight looking very imposing mate :tu:

 

I like where you are going with the CSM - with the conversions you have done to them they really fit the aesthetic of your army. Nice work!

[Kythnos]

Looking great as always. How did the head swap with the Lord Discordant work? Did you have to cut a lot?

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Looking great as always. How did the head swap with the Lord Discordant work? Did you have to cut a lot?

You need to saw off the orignaly head the model has & then cut away part of the model. Once that all done, you need to add green stuff. You'll notice I've change the T face Berserker helmet a bit & there bit green stuff to try help neck stand out other wise it was going to look odd.

Update

Got the Lord Discordant fully built yesterday & base. So he will get painted during tomorrow with aim use the model during a game during the rest of this week. I've really enjoy building this model & knew right away the Lord Discordant needed to get added to the ranks of the 5th Grand Company.

I'm not quite sure what chapter to paint the Primaris Marines quite yet. I think it wait until the cape on the model is painted first.

Then a few more Chaos Marines. The champion actual replace the Power Axe one I model during the past few weeks. I just wasn't keen on how the model was looking & though convert up a new one & the mace just look cooler. Also it really great to finial have running Chaos Marine legs in the kit.

This squad has had a bit more painted added to them just a few hour ago. Been keep that least a hour aside on Monday, Tuesday & Friday to get back painting my own models.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

The new Lord pretty much there. I think it just the arrow on the chainglave that need painted & just add bit more blood for the blood god here & there. But the model taken 6 hours to paint.

Then the new Chaos Marines. I try spend a bit of time painting them today. But today been a bit warmer than normal & no matter how much water or medium I use, my paint kept dry out on the brush. So ended up just getting transfer added to them.

But aim to try get two squads sorted by next weekend, before I start looking adding a third squad with the brand new models & get Rhino transport for them as well.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your attention to detail is most impressive. Hopefully, this will make you so useful towards the Primarch, that he'll actually hesitate before deciding to kill you.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

I've not had to much time toward the hobby recently, due to been pretty ill. We have someone in the gaming community who will show up ever often. When they do, there pretty ill & had a rep for spread what ever illness they have. If it not that, then they are about because they want to spoil recent movies or TV shows... Avenger & Game of Thrones recently been on.

It just meant for past while I've had a really bad sinus infection & the past five days has seen the sinus to the left side of the face in a lot of pain. Friday was the worst where the pain was 28 hours.

But with it clear up now. I've mange to get a bit painting done during today.

The four Chaos Marines I'd shown in the last update. I just need to paint the eyes, but I need to wait until I'm ok. I also need to get a new tub of tuft grass so the models are ready for varnish.

How the first two squad look like. I am planning on a third unit & would like to make them as another Siege Breacker unit with the Siege shield from Forge World, just to see what they be like with the new model.

Then getting the first few models for the new Havocs ready for painting for my day off tomorrow. The other two are arm with Autocannons, but as said due to been ill. I've not had the time to build them or the Terminators.

I'm also aim on getting my gaming table that home sorted. This is something that I've wanted to try sort out for the passed few years. All I really need are tables to support the GW plastic board. I think I've found once that would help out & don't cost to much.

With this, it also my aim to try make some cool terrain to game on. End of the day I feel the terrain is just as important as the models we collect. With the new 40k ruin, it seem like now a better time to get this done. So this will also be seen in this log later on.

But for now I'm fixing older terrain that was use on pasted Armies on Parade boards. This building been from my 2013 board. It just need the walls glue back & stair fixed.

With the Chaos Marines squads show above. I'm now aim on getting there Rhino transport sorted. I'd like to try get a Primaris crucified to the front of one of the Rhinos. There a whole host of new trophy I need to paint up to rep a lot of the great games I've fought recently.

Games Workshop announce the return of the Chaos Warhound titan been re-release. I'm strongly thinking of picking up the model that some point. I was close to getting the model back in 2016 for my birthday, but the chose was between the titan or stay the extra day (my birthday) that Warhammer World. Spend the day there & getting a 3000pt game against my friend.

But I'm now thinking save up. It would be a one off model & it might not be until later this year. I am worry about the building side. Ideally I would like to get the model before Christmas, have it all built so I can spend the Christmas holidays painting it up.

Just every time I'm that Warhammer World & see the Blood oath display. It doesn't help see the model in the flesh & been really close to buy it there & then. It uprise how many of my friends have said to buy it & would like to see what I can do.

From my mobile. Game against Tau last week, where I finial got to use the new Lord. Turn one saw him making this impossible charge rolling double 6's. This game remind me that I really do need to add Tau trophy. So I get this sorted on a few of the new Rhinos soon.

While packing the models away. Though was pretty cool see the Knights & new Lord set up like this.

Other than that, I think my hobby aims are

IW

- Rhinos for the new squad

- Try get third squad of the new Chaos Marines, use the breacher shield on them

- Try convert up the Master of Possessed & Executioner

- Get the Terminators built during 12th to 14th May with the Barbed wire

Black Legion

- Abaddon will be painted during the 12th to 14th May.

- I do have a test model painted, but forgotten take photo.

- It just the theme I need to sort out. Ether, do I use the World Eater Upgrade kits, to help show them as part of the Hound of Abaddon. Or do I use the Knight Lord helmets? Or do I wait, as it look like Age of Sigmar about to get a few Chaos models.

World Eater

- I need to get around & get Object marker sorted for the army.
