Warhammer 40k

I got the combat patrol some time ago and want to do a big upgrade to 2000 points.

I would like to use invocatus/lord on juggernaut (one or both) since I got used to them.

Lord of Skulls is non-negotiable because I loved the model

Which of these options would you choose? (Or even suggest something else)

fixed: Angron (435) LoS (450) 10 Jakhals (65) (someone has to get VP) fixed points: 950

option 1: Invocatus (140) Lord on juggernaut + favoured of khorne(100) 2x 10 berzerkers (2 x 180) 3 eightbound (140) 2x 3 exalted eightbound (2x 155)

option 2: Invocatus (140) master of executions (110) 10 jakhals (65) 3x 3 eightbound (3x 140) 2x 3 exalted eightbound (2x 155)

option 3: Invocatus (140) lord on juggernaut (80) master of executions + glaive(135) 10 jakhals (65) 10 berzerkers (180) 3 eightbound (140) 2x 3 exalted eightbound (2x 155)

option 4: lord on juggernaut (80) master of executions + glaive(135) 10 berzerkers (180) 3x 3 eightbound (3x 140) 3 exalted eightbound (155) 2 chaos spawn (70) or 1 rhino (75)

As a new admech fan I'm excited about this one.

Single five man squad so far. May build a second squad.

Part two.

Part three.

I tried edgehighliting on this one and I absolutely love how it turned out.

Slaughter's Serenity
I haven't been sitting on my laurels since the last post; I've just been focus painting to get this Cerastus Castigator ready to go! "Slaughter's Serenity" just needs some basing touch-ups and maybe a transfer or two (though I think it looks great without), and then it's done-done.

Lots of changes in this one, as well as a new ork detachment!

*Edit There's 4 new detachments! Custodes, Tau, Chaos Daemons all get one as well as the Orkz

I've moved 3 times in the past 3 years, and only now do I have a dedicated small table for the miniature hobby. I have made more progress painting in 5 days than I did in the past year!

I think the most important part (for me) is to have a setup where I can just have my WIP there, ready to be worked on instantly. The less friction to start painting, the easier I'll start.

The Skadis board is also great for paint and tools, especially if you have a 3D printer. Having every pots visible when I get into my office makes me want to paint!

How soon in your hobby did you get a dedicated setup? For those that don't, how do you manage the setup time?

Vixen Marches to War

While the varnish dries on the Lumineth model, I rather quickly painted up this War Dog Moirax. Probably the fastest I've painted one of these, but it's nice to see how my speed and technique are improving. There's still little things I can do: like verdigris and blood effects, but I'm quite happy with the results for a few hours of painting.

Slowly building the aspect warrior army I wanted as a kid

Made with this 3D print file.

Love the chaos team and the lore sounds pretty interesting. I can’t decide how I feel about the Sanctifiers, my first impression was that they look like old sculpts. Having everyone with a gaping mouth is a bit strange. But on the other hand it’s cool to have some more classic looking models. Maybe they’ll grow on me?

What do y’all think?

I just stumbled across this app that uses a QR code in the center of the table to align itself, and then puts AR guides up to help lay down your objectives and terrain. Tested it on my kitchen floor because I was too lazy to get the table set up, and it works creepily well! Has all the different terrain layouts in it, big recommend as of now.

Love these goofy looking goobers.

I realized way too late in the process that I had put the back vents on crooked. Looks like I missed a spot in the arm joint too that I’ll have to go back to.

I think it’s funny that the Datasmith is lugging around his little PS2 memory cards to stick in the robots.
