The Battle For Fire-Detector Spire Delta-6:
Apparently something of value was stashed nearby, long ago. Both the Blood Angels and Mechanicus see it of value, and need to capture it for their own respective nebulous self-interest…

I haven’t written anything in a while. I’ve started a few posts, and then cancelled them entirely because they were, y’know, petty at best and repugnant at worst. It’s been an interesting time, in hobby, life, the universe, and everything.
In the end, I think I just needed to vomit something out there in order to break the ice again.
SoooOoooOOoo……..
Around this time of year, everyone starts counting down their TOP X’s of 2017. Frankly, I don’t have enough to fill out a TOP X.
Personally, 2017 has been amazing in terms of growth and what I’ve been able to achieve. In terms of hobby, it’s been pretty meh, despite the golden age that is 8th edition.
On this basis, knowing full well I could have done a bit better with my hobby, I’d like to rattle off the stuff I’ve worked on over this year. Basically I’m shaking down my camera roll, and if it comes out as a stream of consciousness, that’s because IT TOTALLY IS. Continue reading “2017 Hobby In Review”
What the crap? Blink and a new Codex comes out these days! This report is of my haphazardly assembled Cadian Combined Arms against a competitive Brimstone Horror List, using the new Astra Militarum Codex. Dig in and smoke ’em if you got ’em.
No rest for the weary, Pask finds himself a new Hand of Steel; a Punisher fitted with heavy bolters. While not the most… elegant… vehicle, Pask recognizes the need for versatility in a command vehicle.
Summoned for an offensive against some entrenched Death Guard at the “Brimstone Bastion”, Pask leads a combined arms detachment including infantry assets, armour, artillery… and Super Heavy assets at regimental level. The Emprah’s Mighty Flow’ry Meadow – a Baneblade of legend was at his disposal. Surely this bastion would not stand a chance against this mobile fortress…
No sooner had this thought passed, but a smell of burning stone wafted through the cupula of the Leman Russ Punisher… The fortress wasn’t called “Brimstone”. It was a living wall of Brimstone Horrors! Curse those dogs at the astropathic intelligence!
The air was filled with profanities as Pask wheeled the Hand of Steel amongst the infantry, shouting the men to ready themselves for the terrors of the warp… Continue reading “Battle Report: Astra Militarum vs. Daemons (2,000pts)”
Typically, gigantic apocalypse games allow me a significant amount of motivation to paint my miniatures. Chaosbro and I have been playing through a kill-team campaign in preparation for a fairly large Apocalypse battle, so you’d think that I’d be painting my ass off in order to get things ready to go on camera.
Welp. The game is tomorrow. That ain’t happening. At least not to the extent that I was initially hoping. Here’s my (likely final) Apocalypse list:
Yo Dawg, I Heard U Liek Blood (~5,000 pts)
The sum total of the above is about 4,470 points, and requires me to paint another, 4 tactical marines and 2 Death Company models and lay some details down on the Deredeo Dreadnought. Cool. That might be achievable for tomorrow.
That leaves me about 650 points to shoe-horn fun things into that there list. My thoughts:
Anyways. All this to say my final list is subject to change based on how much I get done this evening.
I’m *STOKED* to be throwing some dice tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll keep detailed notes so I can write up a long over-due batrep.
This one’s a quick one – because it’s only been about 4 days since my last Frag Bag, the Monday edition. So screw it, FRAG OUT.
Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, I miss a Friday Frag Bag post. Thus, enjoy the Monday edition of the Friday Frag Bag! (Does that…. Does that even make sense? SHUT UP BRAIN! Of course it does!)
The totally official ranked list of Russ Chassis Variants:
I had a discussion written up, but the more I thought about it, the more I want this page to be a discussion. So: Am I full of it? Post up below!
I finished these rad-soaked nightmares a few weeks ago, but hadn’t gotten around to taking any pictures for the ribbon on the project… No longer! Here they are!

NURRRRRRRR… Been a very busy week, as I alluded to previously. Unfortunately I don’t have much to show for myself in terms of painting progress, but we’re going to blow stuff up anyways for the sake of continuity.
