Dwango

I've completely lost track of the month. Not sure if I've posted completions for July, in case I haven't my death guard are done apart from bases. EC next and are well on the way.

As always, rule of cool for the win. Iron hands dread list with mechanicum allies is very on theme. Will be awesome to see! If my mech wasn't very obviously dark mech, I'd consider allying them with my dangles and bring the ironwing detachment. All the pew pew.

It was 2k. But had a 3k ready if there was time to play. These have various wargear/cyberthurgy/weapons added. Archmagos abeyant Magos abeyant Tech priest Tech priest Tech priest Thanatar Cavas Thanatar Calix 4 castellax dark fire Decimator 3 blood slaughterers 6 thallax 2 plasma 6 thallax 2 multimeltas To make it to 3k Magos 6 scyllax 2 castellax bolt cannons 2 vulterax 2 krios venators

So, played 2 games with mech yesterday. Used a similar list to what I was running in V2. It struggled. The lack of line, for contesting objectives, and the lack of speed really hampers the force. Although we have some speedy units, there's nothing that can boost their scoring that can keep up with them. Things die much more easily too. Having a decimator one shotted was disappointing. We do have access to some vanguard but this can be a bit of a trap as units can just move react off the objective to negate this. I have written another list, and have an idea for a third too. My gut feeling is that mech will make a really good allied detachment due to their easy access to battlesmith.

Ah, that would work. I'll look to do that. Cheers.

@Dr_Ruminahui can I add my techmarine to the master of the forge? Completely forgot when I vowed it originally. Pic for reference. Can I also make multiple entries? I have an Infernus abomination I might add in to another vow. Thanks.

Some death guard painted but not based. Will do that once I have more completed. The shattered legions force has been started.

Not posted my CtA vow here yet. Some bits have been completed already.

Quick works in progress shot of my vow. The Istvaan 3 board has paint on. Going to work o the buildings tonight I think. I've done the train tracks and craters and started the ruins. Seem to be getting the easier stuff out of the way first.

Ah, separate vow please. Sorry, never thought when I vowed.

I, Dwango, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint: Craters (2pts each) x2 Ruins (3pts each) x2 Tracks (1pts each) x9 Praetor x1 Tech marine x1 Apothecary X3 Deredeo dreadnought x2 Marines x49 One Istvaan 3 display board (jobs a big un) for 109pts for the Glory of the Warmaster and the Heresy Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end.

Further board work. Ready to add primer now.

Wasn't shred covered in a previous article. Shred (5) was reroll wounds on a 5 to hit. I could have dreamt that though.

RRP is in. £44 for the rapiers £36 for the tarantulas

There's been a little bit of progress on my display board. Mainly building the structures. Have given foam modelling a go too. Created some wonky stairs.
