  1. Started getting ads on Instagram for the subscription, and the official site is up now. If the first issue stays the same from the trial then £2.99 for the terminator captain, winged prime, a battle mat and 6 dice is nice start. https://www.warhammercombatpatrol.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAnrOtBhDIARIsAFsSe50_lFYlXfvmBOz5hdvTzScsNZdlyvR9sUKT9983V2e17Uo2DzayKVcaAr3bEALw_wcB
  2. As always I'll cherry pick issues from Forbidden Planet, especially the terminator ones. Has there been any mention of release dates for this?

    Short stories

    A collection of short stories
  4. These chaps are my count-as Hounds of Morkai, the Knights Grimm or Grimm Swords. I'm going to get a box of Sword Brethren to add to these guys and a Phobos Librarian to combine with a Chaplain model. "The Knights Grimm, also known as Grimm Swords, are an order of knights dedicated to seeking out and eradicating psykers on the battlefield. The members of the order are not psykers themselves but fall under the domain of the Librarius, often being lead by a Librarian. The Knights Grimm number almost as much as a full company of Battle-Brothers and exist almost as a shadow company hidden within the Chapter's organisation. The Grimm Swords are armed with swords forged of silver and etched with runes designed to allow to carve through the psychic defences of their chosen foe. Their armour is scrubbed of all Company and personal heraldry and painted black whilst their helms are adorned with a faceplate in the image of a skull, similar to those of the Reivers. Runes are also daubed on their armour that reduce the sound of their passage, further increasing their effectiveness in hunting their quarry. It is not uncommon for members of the Knights Grimm to work alongside Black Templar crusades, with a number of them adopting the Templar's Sword Brethren practice of chaining their weapons to themselves."

    Forging a Chapter

    After 17 years away from 40k I'm back at collecting Space Marines again. This album will my slow progress as I piece together my oldest custom chapter that's been in the works since 4th edition.
  6. I've been using the Dracothian Guard for this, but their poses are a lot more static than the Palladors. I think the bases are 1cm bigger in all dimensions too which may be a slight detriment. Can't wait to get my force finished and try out the Stormlance detachment.
  7. Thanks man Yeah they're supposed to be the power cells. I tried them on the back of the lascannons at one point but they didn't look right and I'm not good enough at making cables to have them be positioned on the back of the chassis like the Deredeo has them.
  8. Well that came earlier than expected I love how the havoc launchers look on the shoulders. My head canon is that the frag missiles launch from the havocs and the krak missiles launch from the icarus pod. Just some minor cosmetic bits to add and tidy up and then this big ol' boi is ready for painting. Got a fun concept for some count-as Hounds of Morkai and a Phobos Librarian but have to wait for the Company Heroes box to arrive next week to make a start.
  9. The havoc launcher is spot on. Also just found a second one so that should be with me by the end of next week.
  10. By the throne the 30k havoc launchers are like gold dust at the moment. Finally managed to find one on ebay just now so snagged it. Hopefully another will pop up soon.
  11. The skorpius turret kept coming up when searching for this and I was thinking that's too big! You're right, the havoc launcher would be perfect. Struggling to find any for sale though. Minefield is definitely the right word. I usually work on the assumption that if someone wants c&c they will say so in their post. I agree there's an art to it but the way he's put it it doesn't contain the constructive element
  12. Only select marines that develop a strange green skin pigmentation are allowed to be interred I've settled on getting a set of typhoon missile launchers to use. I want something sizable but not overbearing like the Deredeo missile launcher. So the Outrider side plates work like a charm clipped a little bit. Obviously needs a little cleaning up. Only downside is I seem to have thrown the other side plates away after cutting the legs off them for the TWC riders so off to ebay I go... Now on a side note, I don't normally get hung up about what random people on the internet say however I'll never understand why someone thinks it's worth their time to comment "nice idea but the ammunition canister of the gatling gun doesn't fit very well in my opinion.". Again this wouldn't normally bother me and I'm happy to take someone's opinion even if it's different to mine, that's just how life is, but for them to then decide to follow up with a separate, condescending sounding, comment of "but well done anyway" just twigged a nerve somewhere Rant over
  13. What do you do when you like the idea of the Ballitus dreadnought but aren't keen on the model? You make a Mortis Redemptor of course! I still need to find a missile launcher that I like for the top of it. I'm thinking maybe two, one on each shoulder kinda similar to the Storm Eagle's launchers. Annoyingly ran out of green stuff so this chap is now on hold until that arrives. I also have some armour plates from the Indomitus Outriders that may fit nicely over parts of the lascannons to hide some of the holes.
  14. Indomitus Chaplain coming along nicely. I even made a start on basing him! And got hold of a Leviathan Captain who will be a count-as Arjac Rockfist
