Snow Day!

I hope everyone is staying warm today! I managed to get out of work today, so I decided to put some long needed love and work onto my Hammerhead! I'm quickly finding out that orange over a large area is a pain in the butt to paint! You can see how I'm watering down the paint to help smooth the process but still, I'm glad my whole army is not primarily orange!

We're Back

And he has a big axe. Now I didn't model this bad boy up, but at the time of this posting Stormtrooper was having some log in issues since it's been such a long time. We'll probably have an explanation on what kits he used later on, so stay posted!

Sixth Edition available for advance order

Yes, I am excited... I cannot wait to get my hands on this new rulebook! Hm, lucky for me (technically) my girlfriend will be gone next week so I don't have to worry about upsetting her when my mind is soaked with warhammer....

With that being said... I think Davich and I are gonna try to do a battle report tomorrow... Maybe to have some fun I'll play Dragon's Tyranids :D

Forge World Command Set

Forge World introduces new Space Marine commander and standard bearer! Igloo's SM army sure would look good being lead by these!

Assualt Black Templar Terminators and Chaplin

Here is my Favorite Space Marine model for my Black Templars the Chaplin. He is my favorite because he kicks butt and he does it in style by looking so awesome. If you play Black Templars I think every army should have a Chaplin because he is the only model that can give people holy relics which gives all Black Templar models within 2D6 an extra attack in their next assault phase that turn. Also He automatically passes all Righteous Zeal Test that means you can never run away from being shot at. With Igloo's help I was able to paint my second Terminator unit and they look way better than the other ones.

 

These Black Templar Assault Terminators are awesome because they have furious charge and 3 attacks because of the Lighting Claws (4 on the charge or close enough to a Relic if the unit has both 5 attacks) Because of the vow Accept Any Challenge No Matter the Odds they get to re-roll all failed to hits and because of Lighting Claws they get to re-roll all failed to wound as well. If used correctly these terminators can even kill Grey Knight Paladins or a mess of Tyrinads within one assault phase.      

Going Digital and Igloo's Tau List

Hm, took them long enough. However, I'm sort of excited. Too bad I don't have an iPad.

I've seen a few complaints about them being only on the iBookstore but I think that is fine. I mean it is only there first release of the digital products, they may move it to other tablet stores as well, but who knows.

Stormtrooper has been saying that GW should do this since he started playing. And his text this morning was what spurred me to making this post. (However I saw it last night after I got home :P). And as I said to him, if they come out with a digital version of sixth edition, that would be awesome! I mean you could take your iPad anywhere to learn the new rules and not get funny looks lugging around a gigantic book. I say gigantic book because I think that all the expansions will be included in the sixth ed rulebook. But I might be wrong.

In other news, I have finished my 750 pt list for my Zone Mortalis Tau last night and here it is.
