25th Post !

Hey Everyone,

Today I have a special blog for you going over a few things and a few behind the scenes of what's going on. This is also in special celebration of reaching 25 posts on the blog which am very happy and excited about since so many people have been viewing my blog and the feedback has been amazing. This will also be brief overview of a few projects that have been approved. Lets get right to it shall we !

 

Legions Astartes

So within the last month I’ve shown off my Luna Wolves as well as the Emperors Children and  I would like to reveal a little bit of what will be going on for the next few years. This was a choice that I’ve been having a hard time figuring out in the last two months especially with getting so close to my primary goals with the Luna Wolves. A major break in this was the fact it looks like MKIV plastics are going to be released which will really save me some cash. With this I would like to officially announce these new projects.

Now first off with the Luna Wolves, they are not done yet since there is still many things I want to add to the army and also bulk it out a bit more. One of the things I want to do is add more troop selection into the army especially with heavy weapon squads, breachers, and recon marines to really round out some options. In addition to this, I need more elite troops in terminators as well as assault squads. Lastly I have to get some special characters such as Loken and Abaddon to really make sure the character of the legion before becoming the Sons of Horus.

Second is I want to start not just one additional legion but two legions that can really give me some changes as well as give some extra characters for down the line. The one legion as I said before will be the Emperors Children and am hoping to get at least 3000 points of them including their primarch. I think this will be fun marching next to the wolves as in many stories the Emporers Children served along side the sons of the 16^thLegion.

Lastly will be the legion in addition to this of course being the Ultramarines. This may become a bit larger then the Emperors Children since I already had some interesting characters left over from my mix of marines. Right now I will be aiming for about 3000 with this force as well of course including the primarch. This one will also be in the works and is still in the design stage

So here we have it 3 legions that are going to be worked on and a small growth to get the legion forces rolling. The only reason why this going to be happening is simply because of the plastic 30k MkIV sets that will be coming out. This will drop for me a lot of the bigger prices with the legions and allow me to get more Forgeworld items such as the primarchs, terminators and other great things that I just love about the heresy.

 

 

Campaigns and Fluff

Next major thing is am working on some fluff to get ready for a campaign. If you look above, we have a picture of a new thing am working with in order to get some great background info and other things I can add to the narrative I want to do. I was able to get this due to a chap on the Heresy 30k Forums and I really have to thank him for giving me another tool I can use to build a narrative. While am working on this, expect some posts going on about the 14^th Companies Fluff while I build towards a campaign.

The Campaign I'm designing has had some bumps but I think soon we will be able to get some rolling. Oddly enough I am hoping that with summer coming to a close, me and some of the local club members will have a better chance to organize a narrative set during the Great Crusade. Hoping that  we will get some Great Crusade era battles and we will see some of the last 100 years before the Heresy takes shape. Now this won’t prevent me from doing battles in the Heresy but my first goal is to get some during this more enlightened time that am personally in love with.

 

25^th Post

Last but not least, l want to thank everyone for helping me on this journey so far. This has been a fun adventure so far and from what I'm hearing, a lot of people are enjoying this blog and this has been keeping me inspired in my projects. I really look forward to what the rest of the year will also bring us and I hope I can keep bringing the fun everyone has been enjoying. So again, thank you everyone and please stay tuned for more 30k posts as we get on with our journey.

Tanks and Emporers Chosen

Hey Everyone,

So  I have some sweet news coming up for the army and new things on the blog. This one is going to be a bit more brief but, as always, I hope you enjoy.

Luna Wolves Armour and Ghosts

So one of the goals is finally happening and during Gencon I picked up these 2 wonderful tanks. Both Sicarans are going to give me some major anti armour that my army really needs. These are also some of my favorite tanks rule wise and model wise plus they really fit the wolfs being hard hitting and highly mobile. Eventually these will be followed up by the Spartan and the Typhon once they come in the mail.

Also what will be included into this batch is the first of the Ghosts, the 14^th Companies Recon elements. Am really looking forward to these minis since, despite their price in the game, for me it would be fluffy to have a force with recon and commando elements as part of a crusade element. Can’t wait to see these minis done up and post I will them up for you.

Legio Custodes  

I got some old Velard Custodes and I think they will be a fun little side project. Until Forgeworld does some rules, I will be making a custom set just for some campaigns in the mean time. I think this will be great since the Luna Wolves did fight alongside the Emperor a lot as well as the Legio Custodes. I think this will be some fun narrative info and I'm curious, what do you think of this unit in general and what rules you think would work best?  Let me know in the comments.

As always, I hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more information!

Gen Con and the future

Hey Everyone,

So with Gencon 2015 at an end, I have some fun and exciting news, plus I figured out what am going to do for the next few projects. I also figured out what I'm going to do  with those minis I acquired of the Emperors Children and the World Eaters and I hope that this will add some new light as well as get me some motivation for the next year or so. Any how lets get this show rolling.

 

Gencon and the Wolves

So I personally wasn’t able to go to Gencon this year but my other half was able to go in my stead. I really lucked out and got some really cool stuff for my armies and was able to finish off the armies main goals. So during the event was able to get my main tanks, the Sicaran, Sicaran Venator, Spartan and the Typhon. In addition to this I was able to get all the event minis including the Titan Primaris. This is really going to round out my force.

The only down side was the Typhon, Spartan where already sold out but are presently on their way. Once they're in I will paint them up for my Luna Wolves to give my army some much needed anti tank and another lord of war choice. This added firepower  will finally finish off the issue I have in my army to deal with massive amount of tanks and other armour that I tend to play against in my local meta. So fingers cross and I will post progress photos as soon I can get them.

 

Emperor’s Children and World Eaters

So this one I was pretty divided on what to do with the minis. I enjoy both the lore and also the fact they had major divided loyalists in the heresy with purge at Isstvan, it's  very interesting to me. Also these were 2 of the legions that almost won out to be my primary legion force. This proved to be a very hard choice but I think I got one I can live with.

The World Eaters I sold off to my good friend and fellow heresy player Jesse who is going to start it after his Imperial Fists. Since his Imperial fists are almost done and fully painted he has been looking at getting a second legion that will be different from his high firepower and loyalist force. He also wants to do this legion since simply put his favorite phase in Warhammer is close combat and nothing speaks more of this phase then the World Eaters. Will post up pictures when his Imperial Fists are done and when he begins his World Eaters proper.

 

The Emperors Children though, are going to stay and be one of the next legions that are going to be done. A few factors played into this, one being they were available early in the crusade with their primarch being found reasonably early. What this mean is though they were a smaller legion they can take part in earlier crusade era. Right now am still running the design portion of it so I can budget and figure out the legion and what I want to do with them. So it may be a while yet before you see that legion grow on the blog but be assured we have some sweet things coming up.

 

Next projects

Over the next few months will be talking about some side projects that I want to try and finish by the end of the year or early next year. With these mini goals I also still hoping to get at least one campaign running and complete before the year is out, since there’s only 4 months left to go this is going to be a little tight but I think it's very attainable. I will be posting up more details late as they come in, as always, I hope you enjoy this.
