Wrath and Glory - Sergeant Wulfe

  

Sergeant Wulfe - A Cadian soldier bred for war, service and life of hardship. It was a pleasant opportunity to be recruited in Victoria’s retinue. No longer stuck to eating gruel in the trenches Wulfe is more than happy to put his life on the line and do what a soldier does best. His loyalty to the Imperium and to Inquisitor Aldrich is unwavering.

Hes pretty basic in terms of colours but I felt despite being a player character he was still a guardsman and this way he looks the part. Black and Red are the classic inquisitorial colours so I stuck with them. I also tried a was technique I saw on FB to get the melta look on the end of the barrel. Its not the best but I'm happy with it. 

Also below is a slightly edited intro to the campaign, this will be used to set the scene for the players and help lead us into act 1.




P.S. I did get another lump of milliput on the Dragsta

How Deep does the Rabbit Hole Go?

I have too many Unfinished Projects

Well I know what button I keep Pushing

So lets start with the most recent distraction, mek gunz:

When ya use Eldar Gubbinz to Kill Eldar

3 in various stages of completion, enough on each that you get the idea.

My Shokk Attack Dragsta is stuck in epoxy hell, the epoxy stage is my least favorite and is where most of my models come to a halt.

Its not the only thing halfway through epoxy hell however.

At least they are not as skeletal as my Gorkanaught/Ork Knight.

Blutack wouldnt hold the weight for an Upright Shot

Then we have the Deff Watch and an Orkquistitor. Nobz and Warboss in Mega Armour seem lackluster though. And while the Deff Watch was going to Double as Death Watch in Kill Team, I didn't enjoy Kill Team.

And then we finish with a bang. The Kill Tank.

Which as much as I love it, its too big and annoying to take to club nights and I feel bad when it wrecks people in casual games. Between this and not being allowed to play it in local tournaments where list restrictions stop me from taking it I have lost a fair bit of motivation to finish it.

And thats just my orks, almost...

There are 2 more Ork Warbosses who are in shambles after moving house that photos would only make me cry...

I would ask people to help me decide what to do but I would honestly just do my own thing anyway. This is more for me to realise how deep in the rabbit hole I am.

Proof of Concept and a few Repairs

When I saw the new genestealer codex I got excited about my Tyranids as new rules always do. However I had been looking at ways to finish the army without using Genestealer cults as I didn't want to have the Blood Brothers in my army this year as they ruined the look of it a bit (Leman Russ' are still the best Nid of all time). I wanted a finished Army for Hive Fleet Leviathan. All Nids All Leviathan. However my test runs of a Broodlord and plain genestealers had been very lack luster in comparison to the GSC deepstrike and Mass Hypnosis. A few moments of thought and I said to myself maybe a genestealer with a spinefist can count as a Acoloyte Hybrid. Back in the work room I looked at the Genestealer sprue and thought the shape and pose was very athletic and very genestealer, I figured a more bipedal look would fix this and I feel it did.

The Silhouette should be significantly unique. 

So thats one down, 14 to go so that I can get a sweet Battalion. The other part of the Battalion would be a 2nd HQ. This comes down to the next conversion on the list, one that came into my mind when I saw the Abominant last year and thought why cant I have a big smashy Patriarch.

Thanks Monkey Chukka for the Size Comparison

I am uncertain as whether a Carnifex or Patriarch head is in order but the size will be fine. The hardest bit will be basing him in pose that doesnt look stupid.

Deff Dred and Killa Kann

Last but not least I am going to be filling in for 1 day at a tournament this weekend to even the numbers. Special rules apply to army building which is all your army must come from one codex with no index or FW units. This means I needed my Orks and to meet the 1500pts no FW or Index units I needed to repair a few of my old toys. With pinned arms and everything attached these two will see the light of day again.

My First Scratch Build. And first thing I painted when I got back into the hobby.

Wrath and Glory - Darius Ex-Bounty Hunter

The next Character done for my Wrath and Glory Campaign is Darius.

Darius - As an ex-bounty hunter Darius has good connections and ways of accessing the Underhive and its Gangs. These skills have proven invaluable in the discovery and infiltration of Cults within the Underhive. Despite his background he has quickly learned how handle himself in the upper spires as well and his knack for survival has kept Victoria alive in many a situation.

For those don't know the Dark Tides setting here is the first part of the background.
