The road to Warhammer World & Iron August (updated 30/06)

[Dosjetka]

If all goes according to plan, in August I shall by flying over to sunny England to meet up with some of the forum staff, play a few games, have a few drinks, and generally have a smashing time. However in order to be allowed into this informal event, I need to bring an army. In past meet-ups, I borrowed an army (thanks again, @Dam13n), brought my own partially-painted one, and now I am intending on bringing my very own painted army.

As a true son of Dorn, I've decided to build a 1500-point army using two detachments: one Black Templar Battalion and one Imperial Fist Battalion. This should keep my painting mojo going as I can jump between colour schemes as I go along.

With about six weeks to go, the pressure is starting to rise and my intention with this WIP log is first and foremost to keep track of my progress (though comments and constructive criticism are always welcome ).

Anyway, first off army list:

While my main focus will be getting all the models assembled, painted, based, and varnished I will try and add some flavour text and names to the models/updates as I go along. I might even ask the community here for some name suggestions if I'm stuck with those.

Anyway, thanks for looking! Next update soon...

Love what you are doing..... Black Templars and Imperial Fists Looking forward to seeing your final product

Looking really good, especially the mix of armour marks. The axe wielding sergeant of the first crusader squad in particular looks like a tough character.
