Hey everyone,
First
off I want to say I'm sorry for the no blog posts in September. Me and
the girlfriend both got sick and we kinda of slacked off to take some
time to rest up and enjoy September together with our mutual colds. With
that in mind we got some exciting stuff that I want to talk about and
also get some ideas from everyone.
Luna Wolves
So
we have some progress on the army and some new stuff has come in. First
off the Sicarans are almost done and just need some finishing touches
on them and the weapons magnetized. Despite not being fully painted I’ve
been play testing the heck out of them and have to say these are some
of the best weapon systems I’ve ever seen for the marines and for any
other future legions this may be one of the must buys. When I get these
guys finished I’ll be posting them up in all their glory.
Second
up, the Spartan and Typhon have been started up though their slow
going. I have to say the treads are a tough build but it looks like
forgeworld may have fixed this. There has been pictures circling the net
showing off the new Spartan treads and I have to say I love forgeworld
for listening to the feedback and taking action. Only thing that is a
downer is it may make it harder for putting custom treads but we will
see how much this deters people.

Last
but not least I got a few new models that I’ve been wanting to get and
its none other then Abaddon and Loken. I’ve been waiting since the
start of the project to get these models and well I have them finally
and can’t wait to get them done up. In addition I got the limited
edition Centurion that came out in September and looking forward to
making him up as a captain of another company with the legion. So we
still got some big projects left on the table for the Luna Wolves.
Second Legion Project.
So
I hit a bump in the road with both the Emperors Children and the
Ultramarines. So when going to the drawing board I found my self going
pretty much how my Luna wolves went with the design and the feedback
that’s gone into it. Despite both legions being unique with their own
flavor, for me I would want to design them in that combined arms with
Spartans, Land Raiders, Sicarans, and of course lots of Rhinos and
Tactical Squads. I thought this wouldn’t do and though I'm not stopping
from one day having these legions, I wanted to go a different route.
The
route I want to go is with the Raven Guard. Highly mobile,
infiltrators, and with a draw back of unable to take more tanks then
infantry I thought this would be a good starting pointing to go with the
design. With this in mind I'm going to build a drop force with lots of
skimmers and, depending if I can pick them up some how cheap, jet bikes.
This also fits my play stay since I love highly mobile forces and I’ve
been a fan of the legion way back in 3rd edition.
I’ll post in a few days with a few ideas for building plans for the army so stayed tuned for that.
Campaign
So
with real life getting in the way I wasn’t able to begin the great
crusade campaign I wanted to fight out in September but I have some good
news. In November a few of the locals and my self will be starting up a
30k Campaign in the Heresy over a small system. Not only will this be
great for the blog but I hope it will get a few more locals into the 30k
game system and bring some more fun into the hobby. Though with this I
have another debate and I'm hoping the viewers of the blog will help me
out.
So
the debate with the campaign and not only getting me revved up for it
is I want to do a slight world wide campaign. What I would like to do is
either using the website http://itoysoldiers.
As always, I hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more information!
General Soban
Signing off till next time
