Pocket40K - Ork Burnas

WAAAAAGH!

-ahem-

I actually rather like 8th ed 40K, but GW has priced me out of actually playing it anymore, and I really don't have any intention of going out and playing at tournaments/events. But I've rather fallen in love with the 6mm scale, and that presented a casual gaming solution...Pocket40K! This will be a fun little side project, although I plan on magnetizing vehicles and basing some infantry in such a way that the models can do double duty in Epic if I want them too.

These models are the Vanguard Skinnerz models with a few GW Ork models and bits thrown in. The flames are made from clump foliage held together with excessive amounts of super glue.

 

 

 



Cheers!

Epic - Dark Angels 3K Army Done!

Wooo! Adepticon army finished! Here they are, 3,000 points of the Emperor's Angels of Death.

Turns out a phone camera isn't the beeest for picking out whole army shots.

This is the battle mat that inspired the new basing scheme. I think they match it pretty well.

 

For reference, here's the list. It's pretty close to a standard marine build, which should be a good way to learn the army.

450 - 6 Tacticals, 1 Hunter, Rhinos, Supreme Commander [BTS]
400 - 4 Terminators, Chaplain
400 - 4 Terminators, Chaplain
150 - 4 Scouts, Rhinos
225 - 3 Land Speeder Tornado, 2 Land Speeder Typhoon
250 - 5 Land Speeders, Chaplain
200 - Thunderhawk
200 - Thunderhawk
275 - Warhound
275 - Warhound

175 - 2 Thunderbolts

The final puzzle piece: Thunderhawk #2.

 

A bit less ostentatious than the first one, but the huge angel status do give it a certain something.

And, of course, there are still plenty more marines to build and paint, but they'll get pushed toward the back of the queue for now.

Cheers!

Epic - Dark Angels T-hawk & Titan

Needs MOAR skulls! Two more war machines finished for my Epic Dark Angels, which means only a single Thunderhawk to go before it's time to shift gears and paint something else for a while.

"You know what would be a good idea?"

"Rows of skulls as tall as a man?"

"It's like you can read my mind."

"Mind reading? Heresy!"

*bolter fire*

Tall base is tall. Juuust short enough to be stable. Sort of.

Landed base variant, just tall enough that it can hover over friends and enemies in BtB if necessary.



"What are we going to do tonight Brother?"
"The same thing we do every night Brother. Purge the enemies of the Emperor!"



Cheers!

Epic - Dark Angels Warhound

Okay, I'm pretty excited about this one. A secret, ancient relic of the mysterious Dark Angels 1st Company strides forth once more to war!



Dark Angels relic Warhound in all it's grimdark glory.

I might go back and add lines of "text" to the scroll, book, and loincloth later.

Calling it good for now though. 

 

Okay, the red DA symbol looks a little flat here. Hmm...

 

Shot from behind. Strut your stuff!

 

Bird thoughts, "Good target for pooping?"

 

Magnetized weapons for the first two Warhounds. I need to acquire some Vulcan Mega Bolters (because WYSIWYG obsessions) and some Inferno Guns (in case I make more and run them in AMTL).

 

And finally here it is with some little friends. Titan Deathwing, please meet Tiny Deathwing.

Try not to step on your new friends.

Cheers!

Epic - Astartes War Engines (WIP)

Very small update here mostly just showing that I'm still alive and kicking. I've got the base colors blocked out on one of my Thunderhawks, and most of the white base for one of the Warhounds.

Here you can see that the T-hawk has two magnetized bases, one for flying and one for landed mode.

(The Warhound is missing its arms because they're also magnetized and I forgot to put them on.)

Just these two to go, and then another pair of the same, and that's a finished 3K list. Sweet, sweet progress.

Cheers!
