Warmachine: Update from the front

The recent months have been very 40K orientated with my Minotaurs taking centre stage, however the arrival of the Warmachine 'Wrath' hardback and Kommander Harkevich has sparked a reboot of interest in my Khador collection. 

I have worked out a new 35 point list incorporating the Iron Wolf and am happy with the selection (and the fact it's not another Butcher list) and will be writing and posting wip's in the upcoming months as I build up the new force.

Until then, check out Warmachine and the new expansion 'Wrath' at: Wayland Games - Discount Wargames

Forge World: Space Marine Heavy Weapons set

The retro theme continues as Forge World releases the Space Marine Heavy Weapon set. The designs are throw backs to the Rogue Trader design as to be expected, and come with supporting arms and back packs to give that authentic old school finish.

The weapons listed are: Plasma Cannon, Lascannon, Heavy Bolter and Multimelta, so everything you need to add heavy arms to your Pre-Heresy armour/variant armies. The set comes in at a surprising £10.20 price tag and a 27th June release date.

I know my Minotaurs will be happy about this release.

Badab War: Armour havoc

As a added bonus to ending a hard week's work, my GW order was ready for collection. I now have sitting in front of me all the components needed to finish the first 1500pts of Minotaur Space Marines, all that remains now is to build and paint. Scary thing is, I have not even touched this lot and I am already plotting more purchases!

Badab War: Something resin this way Comes...

The Minotaurs enter in full force this morning, with lots of resin reinforcements from Forge World (and other places).  I picked up a mixed assortment of models to bulk up the army including two dreadnoughts and Ferrox bolters for my Sternguard, the rest of the items are more vanity purchases that will provide me weeks of modelling and painting fun but will probably see little game time.

Badab War: Enter the Minotaurs

"The beast, the bronze beast in the darkness, footsteps, it never tired, it just kept coming! We didn't stand a chance...wherever we turned, we could not escape, never escape!"

The Badab War takes a turn as I leave the Secessionist forces and enter with the Minotaurs. I really like the colour scheme and background for this chapter which is the main driving force for leaving behind my Tyrant's Legion, an added bonus is that it is a standard Space Marine List so I won't have the usual worries of justifying a Forge World list among the gaming group. I have amassed a few models already including the Forge World Ironclad Dreadnought and an Achilles Land Raider (for display only), and I have figured out a satisfactory (and quick) method of painting my bronze power armour.
