Stormlord Crew

Im really happy with my stormlord but I think I need some crew for the heavy stubbers. So I've made two gunners for it.

They are made from mixing the Cadian and Jungle fighters Game Workshop figures.

I hope to be painting them tonight so I should have some pics up soon.

Stormlord Finished







Ive just finished the new stormlord model from Games Workshop and I must say im a little bit in love with it. The kit is amazing and went together like a dream. Its much better than the FW banblades and a lot more detailed.

Ive had a couple of emails from peeps who have read my blog and wanted images of the troop compartment so ive tried to include a few angles that GW have not shown yet.

I can't wait to get this down to Ready to Run models in East Grinstead and play some Apocalypse games.

Stormlord

I got my new stormlord kit today so I can get my Guard army up to 3000 pts. I already have a baneblade at is a Forge World one. I must say that Games workshop have out done them selves and the kit is amazing with no less than 6 different tank options in the one box.

Ive gone for the stormlord as I love the idea of 30 st 6 ap 3 shots per turn!

Ive now finished building it, it took almost 4 hours as there are so many parts and its huge!

I will post pics of it when its painted. I hope to have it finished soon so I can get a huge apocalypse game at Ready to Run models in East Grinstead.

Realm of Battle Gameboard




Ive just taken delivery of my new Realm of Battle Gameboard from Gamesworkshop. I got it from ready to run models in East Grinstead.

Ive been very excited about this unique board, as it will ready add to the character of my games.

All i have to do now is start painting it!

My first thoughts on the product are:

1) The cary bag is excellent and very sturdy.
2) The detail of the board is far better than i had hoped for.

3) The board it very tough and looks like it will stand up to games well.

Keep watching this blog as I will be updating it with more pics of my progress and some battle reports played on it.

Guard for the win!

Right, im back from Ready to run and im please to say the Guard did well!

It was capture and control and on turn one the heavy bolter squad killed over half his Tactical squad that was sitting on the objective.

Ready To Run Models

Ok, first post!

I would like to kick off by saying thanks to Adrian at Ready to Run Models in East Grinstead for opening a Games Workshop stockiest in my town and getting me back in to the addiction that is Games Workshop!

Its a great shop with all the models and hobby related stuff you could ever want. But best of all it has a great gaming community. I will try and post some battle reports from the store over the next few months along with my model progress.
