Mark III Iron Armour for the Pre-Heresy Project

Here are some pictures of the Mark III Iron Armour Suit I have been working on for the last two days. Overall I am pleased and cant wait to get the hole punch I need to start putting rivets on all the pre heresy projects. Tomorrow I will be starting the Mark II Crusader Suit... Hopefully I can find some more Kneadatite since the Crusader suit needs alot of attention...

Pre - Heresy Jet Bike Update.

Had a peer, Wenemun from Work in Progress, give me some inspiration for the front of my jet bike and this is how it looks now... Enjoy.

Pre - Heresy Space Marine Jet Bike

A teaser look at the next project for the pre heresy army... a space marine jet bike :)

Battlefleet Gothic: Orks vs Thousand Sons... One Point Slug Fest Victory!

The last BFG game me and Churoc played resulted in an ork victory. However, the Thousand Sons came back and scraped out a very narrow victory against the rampaging fleet of Churoc Faar.

With the outcome uncertain for both fleets late in the game, the Thousand Sons managed to get behind the Ork fleet and forced them to withdraw. After calculating Vp's the Orks actually won the game by one victory point. However, the Orks lost the game in the campaing sense of things since they left the zone to be controlled by the Thousand Sons.

If Churoc Faar would have stuck around for a few more turns her would have lost a great portion of his fleet to the prow lances of the Thousand Sons...

Tomorrow... the rematch!

Justaerian Terminator Update

After a few weeks of settling in and unpacking I finally decided to pull out the pre heresy stuff and finish it. I have searched far and wide to gather the needed armour types and vehicle designs.

I have made mark 4-6 armour and have the plans to make mark 1-3. I have jetbikes, an old land speeder or two, and have plasticard plans, from a Yahoo site, for a mark one Land Raider and all rhino hull tanks. All that is missing at the moment is an old dreadnought and some robots, these I will have to scratch build.

Before we moved from our beloved Texas to Utah I was working on a Justearian Terminator squad. Last nigght I decided to pull out the Terminators and finish them. The latest simple conversion was taking two old style bolters and constructing a combi bolter. I am pretty pleased with the gun since it lacks the sleak look of the new storm bolter.

The next step will be to all some rivets to the armour, make the studded roman leather strips which will hang from the waist and from the shoulder guards, and make the tassle flowing on the top. Below is a picture of the new combi bolter conversion as well as a picture of the Justearian Terminator look I am shooting for.

BFG: Orks vs Thousand Sons... Ork Victory.

During the time I spent at Churoc's home we played other games as well. We played Dark Heresy a couple of times but my favorite games were the two Battlefleet Gothic games we played.

Here are some pictures of the first skirmish between Churoc's Ork scouting fleet and my own scout fleet...

The battle occured on the outskirts of the Pyric III system and both fleets were sent to investigate a space hulk moving towards the inner system. The Space Hulk moved each turn across the board, something I forgot about late in the game, and would suck ships into low orbit.
