Possums Angels of Vengeance Redux, Made it ma!


Punk possum

Recommended Posts

Greetings brothers,

So it seems that Photobucket has decided to pull the 3rd party hosting dick move on me now. So with much sadness I've decided that the old log is going to be far too much work to fix. So this is the new home for my 3rd Company and their 4th company Primaris brethren.

 

So Here is where I am are to Date:

 

HQ:

Company master Jaxos in his preferred war gear (a hold over from his time as Master of 8th coy)

In his Regular power armoured state (when he inexplicable likes to attach an ocular augmetic)

And Master Jaxos in his bling tank for those really tricky situations where there's no substituent for total over kill.

Assisting Jaxos in the venerable Land raider Excelsior Repulse is the Rhino Primaris Renown

Finally Lt Komareal of 4(primaris) coy is on hand to lead his as yet untried brothers to war alongside 3coy.

Next I'll get the troops portraiture redone and fill that in, then the Fast attack, Heavy support and elites. Who knows by the time I've done all that I might have actually finished something new...

Amazing..... :thumbsup:

Thank you todays catch up is the troops choices, hope you like them too.

 

Freaking amazing! I always have mad respect for anyone that can bring a practically complete black miniature to life, and those are some mini's to be truly proud off.

Your too kind, I spent a good while editing back my black the trick is less is more, hard for me because I am always drawn towards more and more is more:biggrin.: I've tried to keep to a predominately black red and bone pallet with a spot colour of green as a hint to their D.A. Heritage. 

 

So on we go.

I do have a tactical squad 1 but they are in the re paint line so I'll kick off with tactical squad 2

Now senseably enough grav has been toned down a lot for this edition so I might have to get round to sorting some alternative heavy/ special weapon load outs for these chaps but for now they are still reasonable.

 

Tactical squad 3

These guys by comparison have gone from being the suicide squad to pretty darn good in 8th...

 

Tactical Squad 4

Ah Melta a long time favourite of mine maybe a bit sub par now but I still love 'em.

 

Finally for tonight some 10 coy support.

I did say it before but even though I'm sure that swapping out the standard scout heads for hoodies is a not uncommon move is not one I have actually seen and I feel a bit smug about how it worked out. 

Next catch up will be Fast attack hopefully in the next day or so.

Those hooded scouts look great, and the camouflage pattern on their cloaks is excellent!

Thank you very much as I said I'm a little bit smug about them, the camouflage pattern is very loosely based on French Lizard pattern but made easier for small scale and sanity reasons :smile.: 

 

So continuing the catch up today is Fast attack (or more truthfully assault marine) day.

 

7 squad 3coy with their jump packs, eventually I'll do a running version but at the moment jump pack dudes seem a better bet gaming wise and look cooler too so that's nice.

Hi, me again so now is the turn of my Heavy support choices or more accuratly my devastators, at the moment 3rd company is a bit lacking in armour support as 7th did not encourage me to deploy much in the way of armour but expect some in the nearish future. I'm seriously feeling the need to add some predator support as soon as funds and time allow...  

Till then though.

Squad 9 3coy. led by Sargent Vader "if you want to wreck face be prepared to wreck your own. Overcharged plasma, the mark of a true marine" "or just use missiles thats cool too."

 http://i.imgur.com/rpB2Rb8.jpg

 

Squad 10 3coy.  Led by Sargent Stobz (any resemblance to a well know member of the inner circle is totally intentional) "burn the heretic, bring the wrath of the godhammer to the fore"

http://i.imgur.com/YLvt9RJ.jpg

 

I just realised the I forgot to mention that Tac Squad 4 is led by Brother Sargent Arkley and Tac Squad 3 is Led by Veteren Brother Elmo, and Assault squad 7 is led by Brother Sargent Corvum (I couldn't fit Grey Raven on so latinised and then shortened). I still have 3 tactical squads to finish and an assault squad not to mention the Primaris elements of 4coy so If you fancy being a Sargent in the AoV let me know along with wargear preferance and I'll add you in if I can.

Oh my how time fly's when your having fun, I cant believe its been over a month since my last update! 

 

This one will bring me right upto date with where I am so far now that 8th edition has revitalised my interest in 40K,the only down side is that its rekindled my love so much that I'm working on three armies now (AoV, World Eater and Ynnari) so progress on all of them is slow! Any hoo today is Elites.

 

First up what was my command squad but is now some veterans with a company ancient, this means I need to do another Vet to actually have a squad and since the changes I'll look at magnetising their weapons so I can run any combi or special choice with  combi-plasmas the current front runner to get done...

But for now here they are.

Next is honoured Brother Septim

And finally Honoured brother Octo.

Both of the dreads have been staples of my 8th lists much loved for their distraction value most games they soak up so much fire power that most of the other chaps get a free pass. on the occasions they have been left alone they are able to really run amok and ruin way over their points so either way they have been a real winner.

Cheers Spaced, these chaps are a bit of a waltz down memory lane in a way as I really wanted to have a link to my first ever Marine Army back in the late 80's (not quite my first 40k army that was Squats and well I doubt that I'll be able to recreate that army) so I appreciate knowing that the Rouge Trader vibe is there for others not just me.  

 

So aside from the Rhinos we are all caught up with where I was before Photobucket went weird and I had promised some new stuff...

Well as terminators got a well deserved boost this edition and I have a fair chunk of the Raven wing and most of 3 coy it seemed time to have a look at 1 coy.

And finally their pet Orko.

Now we have the plastic Cataphractii this kit bash is much much easier than doing it with the old resin Forge World dudes the only tricky bit was the shield arms, I used three methods one was just to use the knights arms as was and sculpt (not very well but I learnt a bit so think I could do a bit better next time)  the pteruges. My efforts ended up a bit bunch of bananas but I can live with that as they look fine on the table and this is a gaming army. The second was to raid my bitz box  and use some left over forge world arms and cut and finangle the shields onto those. The last was to use the sargents power sword arm from the plastic Cataphractii and Frankenstein it with a shield. 

I really do love the much more gothic look of these guys compared to the regular DW Knights and am overall pleased as punch with how it all came out. So with thanks to Cactus and Stobz for the inspiration to give this a go and honestly its not too hard if you like the look give it a whirl.

Awesome work, especially the Cataphractii. Shame that before I get to doing my second batch in this "original and unique way" everyone will have them :D At least I can see my assumptions were not wrong.

 

Love the dread, too!

Excellent conversion, they look great!

 

Thanks Brother I wish I could take more credit for this one but Cactus is the true trail blazer and I freely admit my debt to him. 

 

Fantastic Cactusphractii!!!

Gotta love mixing the old and the new, great job well executed :thumbsup:

 

Also, thanks for giving me command of a cool Dev squad, props to you Sir.

Thank you both for your kind words and for your Cactusphractii that served as inspiration and lead me to checking out Cactus' fantastic work. Also I'm glad you like your Devs. 

 

Awesome work, especially the Cataphractii. Shame that before I get to doing my second batch in this "original and unique way" everyone will have them :biggrin.: At least I can see my assumptions were not wrong.

 

Love the dread, too!

Thank you and yeah isn't it just the way that when you think you've got something original soon every one is doing it! On the bright side given where you are and the way that my fellow countrymen have chosen to become extra insular its unlikely that we will turn up to an event and be the cactusphractii twins :wink:

 

Very good work. Both thumbs up.

Thank you always nice to see and hear from a fellow AoV player. 

 

Fantastic work, seamless kit bash.

Thank you very much, though not quite seamless, see the banana pteruges for details :biggrin.:  

 

So I've become very fond of the knights ability to wreak almost anything but for some reason my opponents have taken to shooting them a lot this has led to casualties and an exponential reduction in combat efficiency. so in a effort to remedy this unfortunate situation I've put in a call to the chapters apothecarium and here is the result.

Next thing due across the workbench is some psychic support...

So my TDA odyssey continues. 

attached to 1coy is Epistolarie Homariun. 

k1Znrt3.jpg

I do have a habit of getting distracted but I'm planning to get a bit of time in on my space elves next then who knows some more TDA? The DI Hellblasters/ Intercessors I've got hanging around cluttering the place up? Or a push to actually finish 3coy as I'm getting  quite close to a full battle company now, another Assault squad 2 Tac. squads and a few bolter Devs... Any suggestions or requests?

in a bang with the gang,

they've gotta catch me if they want me to hang."

So much goodness!

 

I vote for anything else but Primaris :P

TeeDeeAye is working well for you, as are your 3rd Company; stay on target, stay on target.

Cheers, I'm getting a bit of an itch to finish 3coy off and get to tick off the own a fully painted Space Marine battle company life goal but I'm really enjoying painting terminators such a nice gear shift from delicate fay space elves

Jeeze I have been a real slacker when it comes to keeping upto date with this log although to be fair I have been suffering a bit from hobby butterfly issues and a bunch of real life things but its ETL time again so I'm diligently clearing the decks thinning out the embarrassing hoard of part finished projects So as to be able to get cracking on stuff that is ETL legal.

 So first up I finally finished a squad that I assembled and started painting  just before 7th came to its end.

5th Tactical 3 coy.

Then because 3coy is starting to feel almost finished assault squad 8 3coy

1tgce0O.jpg

 

Then I wanted to play my Ravenwing dudesmen a bit more and well the talon master is a bit good so...

ZpXkH9Q.jpg

 

And way back in October before my mind wandered off to become obsessed by Shadespire and Full thrust ( a fantastic space combat game by Ground Zero Games)

The Dreadwing dakka squad that sat around unloved and ignored (shameful I know)

1OUr5Af.jpg

 

So to atone I also finished their champion that I'd started at the same time.

Now as everyone knows these days just about every Dark angel player never leavs home without some hell blasters and I'm a weak willed sheep so..

X5KbleD.jpg

 

Then finally my started just before the ETL was announced inceptors of spectacular drop in overcharge and destroy everything including themselves in a blaze of arctininc glory.

So I hope that my offerings to the honoured brothers of the rock serve as just pennance for my former slacking..
