No sorry for me being away. If been away and I have done almost nothing of hobby stuff... Only the last few days I did a bit of painting and modeling. Pictures below! If got 3 weeks of holidays. Construction Holiday it is call in Belgium. But I went on vacation to french, stayed over at girlfriends place, learning for my exams, World Of Warcraft, etc...
But I did got my self a very nice Storm Raven model! I have no clue when to paint or model this... It looks really hard! A Prime MK 2 rulebook for Warmachine, An extra Land Speeder for my Nurgle Angels. The other is almost done building. You also see a few boxes of Gargoyles and Sanguairy Guard (for the evil wings) + a box of Grey Knights and Castellan Crow. Also needs to be build...
stuff to build / read
Ooh and my dice came in! Really nice and fun die! Can't wait to play with them! The first I rolled, roll very good so maybe this will fix my luck?
24 with the Nurgle Angel Logo, 12 normal for the troops and 12 black/red voor Death Company
I Also said I was painting a bit. And indeed I have. I start painting one of my Nurgle Sanguiary Priest.
My Landspeeder I got for my Birthday from my Girlriend :) Finally began to work on it. And magnitsed it of course! Still need to do the heavy bolter, multimelta, heavy flamer and the Assault Cannon.
Drivers to show If i'm playing Nurgle Angels Or Blood Angels
Also today built the last 2 Death Company! One exra Slashy and one shooty dude. + I made a wall! My first piece of scenery!
Peek a Poo! I can see you!
My Warmachine I build in one go! Heavy warjack, the two light warjacks and the solo warcaster I order are build! Cygnar => the Jewels of the Iron Kingdom!
Lancer, IronClad and Charger
My Cygnar Force!
So that was my I'm Back post. I finish with an Angel song! (Its Belgian Metal just so you know)
Channel Zero - Angel's Blood
This is something I really wanna do a long time!! A display board.
Now with the Armies on the Parade going on in Games Workshop stores. I'm tempting to make one.
Only problem is have to fix something that I can use for more than one army. On Bolter & Chainsword someone is making this:
The Hogs of War also went to Wargamescon. And took some pics:
Blood Angels & Imperial Guard
Blood Angels
Tyranids
So this kinda where I'm going for. A mix from the Tyranids board and the Cathedral.
But also keeping in mind for Warmachine. That play board is 6 x 4 feet. The bases for Warmachine are a bit bigger then the Games Workshop ones.
My Templars got ruined stones under them:
Templar Bases
My Nurgle Angels got spookey bases and chaos bases.
Spooky Bases
Chaos Bases
So should I go for 3 different boards? Or one normal board? Like the Cathedral? Or I can lazy and just make something like this:
So last week I mailed with Kirby from 3 ++ is the new black. This was about my Nurgle Angels List.
I was getting frustrated I didn't get any win with them yet. So I mailed some one who could help me out.
His respond:
Tom,
The first list was better really but having the Death Company is going to limit you. What I'd look to so is move your list more towards one of these two arch-types: Blood Skies or Blood Hammer. What they do is overcome a lot of the main weaknesses a pure Jumper army has (i.e. your first list) by adding ranged firepower. You can try and keep the Death Company if you wish but they are quite expensive and not always worth it. If you did keep the Death Company I'd use them instead of the Furiosos in the Blood Skies type list without Jump Packs. This keeps their cost down whilst still being an effective combat unit.

I came up with his list:
Libby with a JumpPack (125pts)
3x 10 marines. with 2x melta and powerfist. (705pts)
Priest 2x with powersword (180pts)
Storm Raven with typhoon and hurrican bolters (255pts)
Land Speeders + Typhoon (180pts)
Chaplain (100pts)
9x Death Company with Power Fist (205 pts)
Total of 1750 points.
I kept my Death Company to be a kill unit. They will be in the Storm Raven! Muhahaha!
Land Speeders to be as a heavy unit. Storm Ravens got 4 blood strikes and Power of the machine spirit so that is gonna be fun! The rest is a pretty standard setup for Descent of Angels.
Yes you've read it right. Warmachine! I'm starting a new table top game. Not because of the Games Workshop prices. But because a friend of mine did a double order and so I end up with a Cygnar Battlegroup.

I get the following in the battlebox
Commander Stryker (this guy minus the points from the total. 6pts less)
Ironclad (7pts)
Lancer (6pts)
Charger (4pts)
This gives a total of 11 points. What Commander Stryker does with his 6pts less. I have no clue! Gonna wait till my mate responds about this post. To add up some points. I seem to be needing a Journeyman Warcaster.

And Also an Unit Stormblade and Long Gunner. Melee and Ranged group.
StormBlade - Image from Private Press
Long Gunner Infatry - Image from Private Press
This gives a list of 25points to play with.
Cygnar Jewel of the Iron Kindoms.

Cygnar is the most prosperous and most technologically advanced nation of the Iron Kingdoms. Of all the human factions it could also be considered the most benevolent, although that has begun to change with recent events. Cygnar's ballistic technology is unsurpassed, and the Cygnaran specialty, arcane electrical energy, can fry opposing warjacks' cortices, rendering them far less effective in combat. So this means I can pew pew from long range and then just close combat the enemy down if they get to me!

Doubt I will paint them in the blue/white sheme. Gonna think about it maybe later in the night.
Yesterday I went through Black Matt's Black Legion his blog. And damn he got some nice models!!
For example I'm gonna borrow this idea for my melta guys. This one is for his Chosen Squad.

Also the models he posted from a guy called Nagamo are nice to point. They count as Plague Marines. They can be found in this post. The model under is count as having a powerfist, I guess. Gonna make something alike for sure!
Model from Nagamo
Bloodcrushers, put a marine on them and you get a cool effect! Matt did a great job with these:

The above is what I think one of the cool things he have done.! It just scream WORLD EATER!
If you go through his Black Legion Army Construction you'll find lots of cool pics of his conversions. Think someone is fan of the Dark Angel Upgrade set + Chaos Warriors! Can you blame him?
He is also a part of the Blood Angel Army for Heroes Of Armaggedon.

Yes indeed this dreadnought of the Death Company is using balls as his blood claws. Luckely the finished model looks like this:

With this I finish my blog about Matt. He has some cool models on his blog and you really should go watch them! It can be found here.
So with the storms of magic out now. I saw the Chaos Lord on Manticore model. And I must say. Doesn't this guy scream to be a chaos wolf? A Count as Canis Wolfborn to be honest! And then the rest of the Wolf Guard on a Juggernaut. Damn the idea alone makes me wanna buy the models!
They would fit in a Black Legion warband for sure! But I will wait until the 6th Edition of 40k will come out next year. (If it comes out then!) And with Chaos Legions as the first codex?! Damn right I'm going chaos!
Hmm I just can't wait to see what kind of plastic Chaos marines there will be. New Khorne Bezerkers? Of course: Plastic Nurgle Marines, Noise Marines and Thousand Suns! I wish I could time travel!
Storms Of Magic brings also very nice terrain! The Magewarth Throne could be awesome to use for a Chaos Lord his Throne! Yes indeed I'm thinking about a display board! I need to fix me one for my Black Templars aswell... And the tale of this month will be one Libby, 5 Nurgle Angels and one Devastator marine with heavy bolter.
