Ultramarines Force Roster - Updated.

Well I have finally got round to updating my Ultramarine Force Roster to get in some of the new models I have bought, add photos of ones I have painted but never photographed and also sort the formatting on the page out as it was all over the place previously and it really annoyed me.

These are my current force options with more on the way soon, hopefully.

'Ultramarines vs. Necrons - 5th July 2012' and my verdict on 6th so far

Well I headed on over to Hulls Angels for a game of 6th Edition against Skaltar and his Necrons on the 5th. (late posting the report as I have been away for the last week).
First off I'd like to say thanks to Skal for the game, really enjoyed it, and look forward to another game once I have chance to changes things up a little bit.

I learnt a lot about what bits in my current build don't work any more and which do. Well at least against the Crons. Will take what I learnt, and have some games against other armies and work towards a new build. Already got some plans for that.

Well anyway, here is what happened on the 5th :)

Unboxing The Ultimate Warhammer 40,000 6th Ed Bundle!

Well I was weak and could not resist purchasing my self the  Ultimate Warhammer 40,000 Bundle when they became available for pre-order last week.
And I have to say, I am VERY glad I did. 

I headed on over to GW Bradford to pick it up this morning and here it is........

Night/Doom Scythe Complete

Finished up my Necron Scythe model last night. Since the under slung part can be so easily swapped out and nothing else is different I painted up both attachments and didn't glue them.

The model was a joy to paint. Lovely to paint something large that wasn't a Space Marine tank. As much as I love my Ultramarines I have to say I am bored with painting their vehicles.

Night/Doom Scythe WIP#1

I have been working on my Night/Doom Scythe kit for about a week now. Not had as much time as I would like to throw at it but I have been making some progress.

I really enjoyed building the kit, its really well designed and really easy to assemble. One feature I really like is that the portal and ray can be changed out easily with out magnets provided you don't glue it and build both features.

I got it all built up, base included, fairly quickly and started planning the paint. Having only painted two basic test miniatures for my cron force so far (a warrior and a scarab base, see HERE) I knew the basic colour scheme but was not sure how to enlarge it to this scale. One thing that did not come up with the warrior or scarabs was the colour to use for the senior troops/leaders and vehicles. This of course did some up here. My initial plan was to go with silver, but I decided to add some gold in there instead. I think it goes with the black, grey and red scheme better and I am really happy with the result thus far.

Maritime Fleet Elements gathered, Mercs on the Horizon.

Been hard at work over the last few day and have completed the remaining maritime elements of War Fleet Strabonis.

This includes the Escort attachment for the Fleet and my Thales Class Corvette Squadron 'Drake'.

Also I have painted up the Mercenary Sub the Black Wolf.
