Road to Badab Update

Post by Bill

I’ve been making some posts over on roadtobadab.blogspot.com, but I haven’t really done much here as a result. I’ve been actively painting and building my army to prepare for this large battle. I’ve been busy building and painting the Space Marine side of the Tyrant’s Legion list. This part of my list is 2 units of tactical marines with 4 Missile Launchers each.

Both Squads built and ready

Primed and ready to paint!

The Tyrant’s Legion list is built up of Astral Claw’s, which, after tons of reading, is a chapter of space marines that seems rather neat, I’ve ordered and will be using the Forgeworld transfers on the shoulder pads and knee pads.  I’ve never really considered using Forgeworld bits/add-ons for an army, but I’m trying it out on this project.

Test Paint job #2

Since I’ve ended up with some space marines, I’ve been adding slowly to the pile.  In the end, I should have a pretty sizable army to use, and with the paint scheme I’ve chose, it should all easily get painted.  One thing is for sure, using Forgeworld add-ons adds up quickly, but they are specific and well done, it’s a strange toss up in the GW scheme of things and it leaves me with mixed feelings.  Once I get more progress on this army / project I’ll post it.  I’m also nearing completion on painting all of the IG infantry for this list, I can’t wait to finish this up.

40k Apocalypse Game

I attended an apocalypse game out in Madison this weekend as a spectator, I couldn’t commit for the whole day, but I was able to watch the majority of this game go down. It ended in a tie and seemed to be very close from what I witnessed. Either way, check out the Thunderhawk below, it’s awesome, along with many of the other figures on display.

Video Battle Report: Kings of War – Siege

Here’s all 7 turns of our Kings of War Siege battle! This is the longest thing I’ve edited so far, it’s also the first time I did a Voice Over, let me know what you think. Personally, I don’t like how my voice sounds, but I think that’s natural. You can also see an HD version on Youtube, just click the Youtube logo int he lower left of the video.

 

Here’s the errate we used for this game, it’s incomplete and not totally tested.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, there are things we still want to test and eventually I’ll rewrite all of the rules for this.
