I’ve been busy with just about everything but posting lately, but here’s a few of the things I’ve been working on. The large badab game is quickly approaching and is only a month or so away from now and then shortly after that there will be adepticon!
These guys are ready for transfers, dipping, and basing.
20 Astral Claws Tactical Marines
4 Captains

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.

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.
