"I, Richmarine, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 10 X Assualt Marines (Ravenguard) (10) 5 X Lascannon Marines (Ravenguard) (5) 5 X Mor Deythan (5) 10 X Dark Fury's (10) 9 X Despoilers (Salamanders) (9) 5 X Tactical Marines (Iron Hands) (5) 1 X Iron Father (5) 1 X Iron Hand Contemptor (3) 10 X Despoilers (Iron Hands) (10) for {62 pts} for the Glory of the Emperor and the Heresy Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end." edit. Now with picture. Can’t seem to find the assault marines or 5 iron hands. Off to a good start. And I already painted a test model hence only 9 Sallys. final edit* found the assault marines and remaining 5 iron hands which are going to be hacked apart, upgraded and repainted.

guess I need to take more pictures. Shabran Darr’s 11th company, Darr is on the right in the last picture with his SIC, who I use as either a delegatus to get a ROW or a chaplain. There 40 assault marines that have the pack packs magnetised so they can be despoilers. 5 terminators with land raider 10 rampagers 2 Contemptors 10 heavy support missile squad with a techmarine. should come to 2500 pts.

Cometh the Red Angel complete. Isstvan III has begun. And the first of my treacherous reveals. Myself and my two mates chose legions. Myself; sons of Horus, my one friend chose World eaters and recently Death guard, my other friend chose Emperors children. Ever since I read the first black book I wanted to do Cometh The Red Angel. A one sided but great opening to the heresy. Over 10 year later after my best friend chose World eaters I secretly amassed a world eaters army during covid. So at last, last month we could finally play that mission. ill post more once I get time. But this was an epic game. And lots more heresy to come. For now, here are my loyalist world eaters.

some close ups. Pretty fond of applying aircraft decals to my minis to add that extra detail. (Thought they make no sense) for the vets I was keen to show them telling a story, hunting loyalists on isstvan. One of them has the city display and the other communicating with command. Parts are from the vehicle sprue.

Woohoo. Vow complete. 10 Sons of Horus Veterans (10) 5 Sons of Horus Recon Marines (5) 1 Sons of Horus Legion Deredeo Dreadnought (3) 1 Custom Isstvan III scenery (4x Aegis Defence Sections) (8)

terrain complete. I forgot to take pictures of them. But I used them in the opening of the isstvan 3 campaign.

Recon complete. Vets started.

So much stuff painted. All I’ve managed to do is this; I forgot to add the apothecary to the vow.

some progress.

Some progress. Deredeo plasma guns WIP and my isstvan terrain is looking grim.

Common. I can do this!

"I, Richmarine, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint the below models for {20pts} for the Glory of Warmaster and the Heresy Strongholdon or before 17th September 2024, or bear the badge of failure until years end." 10 Veteran marines of the sons of Horus legion 5 recon marines of the sons of Horus Legion 1 Deredeo Dreadnought of the sons of Horus Legion. 1 lot of custom isstvan III scenery. (Aegis defence line size)

ISSTVAN III The events of Prospero now far behind I wanted to get stuck into Isstvan there are a few things I want to do with this campaign. have a map, the last campaign I felt had no context for battles. No clear route or objective. Just the legendary missions had the background. more thematic battles. There’s a lot of stories on isstvan. I want to explore them a bit better with customs missions. Bring the black book up to 2nd Ed since GW don’t seem too interested I also have a few treacherous themes up my sleeve. My friends are on the forum (I think) so I’ll keep these reveals to myself. to cover the campaign I already have a lot of terrain. So I’ll be using what I’ve already shown. For Armies we have the 4 covered plus my mechanicum. to get started I made up some drop pods and we had a few games. There’s also a thunder hawk in the works. the maps WIP and I’m adapting “cometh the red angel” legendary battle for the first team game. So far we’ve had a few individual games that I’ve tracked. for now here’s some Pics. https://flic.kr/p/2pVKgHC

results above. Close campaign. And tonnes of fun! hateful scummy praetor took the Prospero crown. Followed by legio custode smash captain. I made little plinths for my mates characters that topped the league. Goodbye Horus Heresy 1.0. We loved you. Hello Istvaan III and HH2.0.

Game 12. Apex Predator. basically Russ and Magnus having at it in the centre. The game rules are that if any units get near the combat. They’re dead. it was a team 4k game. Custodes and wolves vs thousand sons (yes I accumulated that much). It was over turn 3 I think. Magnus appeared to hold his own a few turns before feeling sorry for himself and snap. and as in the book. The thousand sons disappeared as soon as Magnus “died”. So the game ends as soon as the deed is done.
