Cheeky Objective (and other Grey Knight goodness)

Well, April is disappearing fast but I am making progress on my Grey Knights for The Sad Muppet Society‘s annual 40K tournament, A Small Matter of Honour on the 7th May.

However, the first model of the updated army isn’t quite finished yet, so instead of that, here’s a photo of one of my objective makers and a picture of an Inquisitorial Baneblade.

In other news, my wife’s business, KOed Dice Bags, now has an embroidery machine. This means she can do custom logos, for example, this little gem for my Grey Knights…

New generic logos are being added all the time, and we can do most stuff on request. In addition to this, there are two more camo fabrics available, a green ‘jungle’ design, and a winter tundra camo. Check the website for more info.

Next time, I should have pictures of the Stormraven that is currently sitting in pieces next to me, waiting to be varnished.

Return to Titan?

Well boys and girls, it is almost April and the Grey Knights Codex will be out at the weekend, and I have to say I’m a little excited. Why? Well so far the Grey Knights have had one army list, back in the eighties in the Slaves to Darkness book. Although little different from other marine chapters of the time, the Grey Knights were setup as the best of the best, the ultimate defenders of humanity.

Then when terminators were added to the range, the Grey Knights finally got their signature unit. It has to be said, a unit of five level 4 psykers for 2000 points a unit might have been quite powerful even in Rogue Trader days,  but this  set the scene for the Grey Knight terminators of the Daemonhunter Codex.

And So It Begins…

Welcome to the first hobby post of this blog. Rather than actually talking about my current projects, I thought I’d take some inspiration from Neil Sharp’s blog; and write about some of my wargaming history, specifically the Warhammer 40000 armies I have not been painting stuff for in the next couple of years.

Death Guard, 13th Company

Painted in a month (a record for me) for one of Spiky Club’s Starsmash tournaments, this is my only Chaos army of any description. They are definitely an elite army with only 27 models in total (including the tanks).

These tend to come out when I want a change or I’m playing the bad guys.
