Best Wife Ever

After quickly reading through the first two books in the Horus Heresy Series, my wife surprised me this Valentines day with the the entire rest of the series sans the eighth book.

I was pleasantly surprised to open the big box and find some very good Sci-Fi reading waiting for me.

Rogue Trader Friday (Modeling): JetBikes

As a companion to my Rogue Trader posts at From the Warp, we take a look at the Imperial JetBike.



Nothing says bad-ass 40k mayhem like a marine on a jetbike. Unfortunately with the limited sculpts back then, you really could only stick a marine from the RT box set on there as the rider.

Since I had played Imperial Guard, I got the bright idea to take one of the Imperial Roughrider command squads and plant them on a jet bike; Las pistol and chainsword blazing.

Good times.

Rogue Trader Friday (Modeling): Epic Imperial Guard

As a companion to my Rogue Trader posts at From the Warp, we take a look at the Imperial Guard on an Epic scale.

I would love to be able to field an Imperial Guard army with small detachments of Space Marines in a non-Apocalypse or Demon Hunter game.

I would have to imagine this is more "true to life" on how both arms of the Imperial forces would operate.

I also wouldn't mind if Epic was updated and new models released for it.

Rogue Trader Friday (Modeling): Space Marines vs. Orks

Another great Space Marine diorama from times of old.

I always got a kick out of the Ork graffiti and the stormtroopers getting lit up as they enter the basement.

Of course, this is a companion to my Rogue Trader Friday posts at From the Warp.

Rogue Trader Friday: Space Marines

As a companion to my Friday posts at From The Warp we have some of the great original plastic Rogue Trader Space Marines.

I always loved the way the Blood Angel Sergeant was depicted with the mottled brown paint scheme setting him apart from the rest of the squad.

Those Crimson Fists are not too shabby looking either.

Rogue Trader Friday (Modeling): Ork Dreadnoughts

And rounding out the recent Rogue Trader posts over at From the Warp, we have the Space Ork Dreadnought.

Amusing in their construction, as well as their depiction in the artwork, the Ork Dreadnought strikes a no-nonsense pose on the battlefield.

Blood Angels!

Games-Workshop has just announced Blood Angels to be re-released this april.

This April the Blood Angels will be re-launched with an all-new Codex and range of plastic and metal miniatures. One of the oldest and noblest of all Space Marine Chapters, the Blood Angels have stood fast against the enemies of the Imperium since the Great Crusade and it was their Primarch Sanguinius, who laid down his life to aid the Emperor against Horus in the final hours of the Warmaster’s rebellion. The new Codex explores the background and history of these superhuman warriors like never before, and contains new artwork depicting some of their greatest battles and most powerful champions.

The Blood Angels have always been a powerful close combat army and have been made even deadlier thanks to a range of specialist wargear, the ability to field Assault Squads as Troops choices, and more Dreadnoughts than any other Space Marine Chapter, including a Death Company Dreadnought and the fabled Furioso Dreadnought. The Sons of Sanguinius will be deep striking onto a tabletop near you this April – now’s the time to practice painting red.

Having just begun work on my Space Hulk set, I am interested in seeing what comes down the pike minatures wise.
