Blood Angels Ready for Battle

Hey all, Wrath here. Just putting up a picture of my near finished Blood Angels Brigade. I'm Excited to show off my newly aquired Sanguinor, Exemplar of the Host, model that was painted and assembled by me. Now I'm new at this, so don't go picking apart my photography skills and the fact that I didn't eveen attempt to base any of my models. I mean come on, The Sanguinor is floating on SCROLLS people. That's pretty BA. The paint job on The Sanguinor is not yet complete though. I have yet to do the fine ddetaails but he still looks good. And for the record, the wings took me 45 minutes each to glue on. And now I have my old list that has yet to be shared with the world.

Total-2000 Points

The Necron Army Amasses

From The Tombs They Come!

no really, I bought around 450 points of models today. These models probably would never have seen the battlefield again if it hadn't been for me. A friend referred me to someone who had long ago quit Warhammer 40k, lucky for me this guy played Necrons. So today I purchased...

• Twelve necron warriors and three scarab swarms - equivalent to one warriors box set
• Two necron destroyers
• One Necron lord with war-scythe and resurrection orb - though I'll probably field him with orb only

sorry the quality stinks all I have is my webcam...

It totals up to 452 points without any war gear, and I got it all for the low low price of only $30! I was very fortunate today, usually when you buy used models it's on eBay and thats a total crap shoot. I was able to see the models before I bought them, and the guy I bought them from had no initiative to sell them online so I was able to get an awesome price. These models would have cost me easily twice as much new. Currently this puts my assembled army at 939 points without any war gear. I have a battle force waiting at home for me, unfortunately that wont get together for this weekend, since I have finals this week. once I put together my battle force I'll have 1605 points. I really happy to see my army developing from fledgling paper cutouts into painted metal and plastic.

In general for new players I would recommend buying used models. Yes sometimes the previous owner screws you  with a crappy paint job or some really weird poses, but most of the time it's fixable. For instance the scarabs and one warrior have a BAD paint job, I think I can get away with just repainting them black over top though. For the most part though, the average player wont need the perfect pose or the perfect paint job.However, if you do want everything to be just perfect expect this expensive hobby to get more expensive. There are deals to be had out there, just look for them and you too can get an army on the cheap. PS expect an awesome video tutorial on how to make walking Necron warriors soon.

40k day

Our first official 40k day is soon approaching. For all those interested in attending; the site will be the House of Moros. Times will be posted soon. (we are working on getting a google calendar and e-vites for future events which will make this process go a whole lot smoother)

As a way to break the ice for our first event we will be hosting a single match open for all players. It will be teams divided equally between present parties. Each participant will deploy a 1000 point army for battle. Teams will be decided by the fortune of the dice. Again, this event will serve as much as a meet-n-greet as an actual battle; as well as an opportunity for some of the more veteran players to introduce and teach the game to the players just starting their armies.

For future events we will be renting space from a local business for mini-afternoon tournies; so check back often for updates on when those will be.

In the upcoming weeks, prepare for updates as I build my own dark angels army list and miniatures. Like Moros, I will be sharing all the nitty gritty details of how to go from codex to conquer; with anything and everything learned in between.

Hope to see you all at our live event on the 6th.
