I'm really happy with the colours

Hopefully I'll get a few more finished later this week.

Seeing how @rollleafd and @virtualwolf just posted their Hivestorm terrain…

…and the colour scheme is super close to the one I used on the terrain parts previously available (Battlezone Manufactorum), I thought I'd post some older pictures of mine!

Of course, my paint job is not as crisp, but OTOH I did spend time replacing those Machanicum symbols with ones dedicated to real gods 😈

I know time and 40k are not exactly friends, but do we have a rought timeframe of hwo long the battle between big E and horus took to guesstimate how long he was able to hold on?

After trying out citadel paints with my previous post, I bought and painted this Tech-Priest Enginseer at my local shop and tried my best to keep a steady hand. Let me know how I did!

Kill Team Battle

First PvP game with the new rules and the new team. Ran the Tempestus Aquilon against my friend's Heirotek Circle in the Global Event scenerio.

Dropping in on turns two and three was a pretty slick mechanic. Gave a lot of board control from the sheer unknown is who would show up where.

The Necrons felt right with the resurrecting and living metal making so I had to kill and kill and kill them again.

The Deathmark vs Aquilon Marksman sniper match was super cinematic: Deathmark took out the Grenadier in one shot before he even got to activate, then the Marksman dropped right onto the tallest tower and dropped the Deathmark through the window. Then a helpful Reanimator scuttled up and brought the Deathmark immediately back into the game.

I felt dominant coming out of turn two, but I over extended trying to clear out a resurrected Immortal and lost my Gunner and Precursor, when I should have had them play to the objective instead. Game ended in a tie. Not bad for a first outing and hopefully a sign things are at least roughly balanced.

First time using Citadel paints they felt amazing to use! Getting my hands on some miniatures soon I'm excited to get into this.

Attempt to freehand some 13th Company icons.

I didn't mean to time this one for Orktober, but maybe it's just a happy little accident. He's an obscure Forge World mini from 2007 or so. I've recently been watching Masters of the Air and it made me want to dig him out of my backlog. No idea what I might field him as, but he's a fun sculpt.

There's a couple of more photos here: https://imgur.com/a/cmmgacE

There's a press release about the mini here, if you want to know more: https://ifelix.net/forgeworld-newsletter-171

This crew of Ork-wannabes are my Diggamob. They currently don't have names, apart from the test model - Zagatha (back left). I mostly don't like the old Digga range, but there's a few exceptions, so I went with those.

I've no idea when I'll get around to fielding them in Gorkamorka, but hopefully at some point. I deliberately opted for no heavy weapons on the vehicles to field more bodies. Diggas have access to archeotek and can get some very fancy bits of kit - but to find them and wield them effectively numbers are required.

These are a combination of GW's original minis from 1998 and Red Nebular's Primal Raider range: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Red%20Nebular

I mainly painted them using contrast/speed paints, but I didn't have the requisite paints when I did the test model, so the skin ended up being done the traditional way. I regret it, but it was too late to do anything about. I'm not overly fond of how they turned out, but hey, done is the best feature.

There's a few more pics here: https://imgur.com/a/07Mzj17

Also, just to pre-empt it, no, the faction aren't called "digganobs". They're called "diggas", you memelords.

Blood Angels Death Company Pt2

Five more Death Company Marines! I may go back and paint in some flesh, but I thought it looked fun in this Nosferatu style so I just did the fangs and a drop of color on the eyes.
