Kill team 07 - Compendium Space Marine Tacticals

 I've since given these guys away, so there will be a new set of Flesh Tearers replacing them soon. These are Dark Angel in the later green.




Here's another set of Tacticals, these are primarily for the Age of Darkness mod, but they are configured to be suitable for normal Tacticals from the Compendium. Seeing the Primaris marines get up dated for Phobos and Incursor teams recently makes me think that a Tactical update is on it's way one day - may be in the new Annual?? 

Anyhow, here's my MkIV armour Dark Angel Death Wing squad. Done in HH era colours prior to the green stuff above.

THe bases are in readiness for the Space Hulk In to the Dark release. I tried to get a spaceship deck feel to them. It's primarily grey with a bit of oil wash to add stains. The tools are left over from years ago.

Kill team 33 - Warp Coven (WD 469)

Image
 Here I am trying to catch up on the bespoke teams. This is the Warp Coven, came out in the White Dwarf issue 469 and replaced the Compendium Thousands sons list. I'll probably not complete a full 20 man roster for this team, just stick with the basic cool options. I do have loads of tzaangors and a full box of marines, so it might happen one day. The people who know suggest that a good list is three sorcerers, the chain cannon and a bunch of tzaangors, so that's where I'm headed to start. I got given a box of marines for Christmas last year and I've used that to make my sorcerers. The box only comes with one, but with a few simple mods I made the three. I added some green stuff swirly bits, created a staff from a bit of brass rod, green stuff and some icon bits and then added a khopesh made from plasticard.  They are painted in two colours really, I sprayed them gold, added a wash of a mix od sepia and brown and then added the blue bits. Some red on the gems, black on ...

Necropolis28 - Crimson miasma event

Image
 Another indie game I really enjoy is Necropolis 28, a game set in a world where everything is dead, even the plants. The game is described as diorama skirmish and is a mother lode of superb scenic modelling. A game takes place on a small board 16" square, the board should be a beautiful diorama setting that ghosts, skeletons and zombies scurry about collecting relics and treasure. They are controlled by infamous lich's who cast spells to punish enemies or raise the dead, again. I went to an event organised specifically for Necropolis 28 in July. It was taking place in a church hall in Stadhampton. A beautiful venue and very appropriate, being surrounded by a grave yard. The event was an absolute blast, we all had an incredible time. There were fantastic diorama boards in abundance, beautiful and awe inspiring models and hardly anyone really cared if they won or not. The event reminded me of the old time punk gigs, with some fabulous t shirt art, some fabulous actual art, free...

Forbidden Psalm - More buildings

Image
I enjoyed building the houses for FP so I thought I'd make some more, there is an inn that you can visit between sc enarios to recover wounds and do some dodgy trades. It's called the Hogs head, which I discovered is some sort of Harry Potter reference. I wanted to make a nice inn, so I did. The cla ssic pub is on the corner, so that's what I based the building on, a corner pub. I also made a small shop which sells weapons; Forbes and Idden Arms. I made a small school type building and also a couple more generic houses. T hey look pretty neat on my paved area. The eagle eyed will notice I raised the pub sign later on to make it less likely to be walked in to.
