ThunderStorm

Was so excited, but I just don’t have the time or effort to put into a 40K sized army to paint and junk, and I could be playing other great games from companies that don’t suck ass like GW. 

Still, I was thinking about just packing it all away until I could actually do something with it. 

Then I heard about the latest price hikes. 

So yeah, this is going to hit ebay real soon. 

Trade this in for some new Infinity stuff. 

Note: This is going on Ebay, but I figured I’d spread the word on Tumblr a bit first. If you’d like to be notified when this goes up let me know. I know people on here who are into BT, so I’d hate to put this up for sale without giving them a heads up. 

I’ll be taking better “for sale” pics of everything, if you’d like to see those in hi-res (ebay’s pic res is pathetic) I can email them no problem. 

Plus Drop Pods, Rhinos, A Land Raider Hull, a good few metal SM Scouts with CCW/BPs, AOBR Termies, a lot of other nilla marine and bits and shit for converting, foam trays for all the bikers, and BT marines, tons of BT bits that aren’t attached to anything, and my old BT codex which is about to fall apart, pages aren’t torn or fucked up though.

For a while now I’ve been workin’ on making my first 40k army, might as well post what I’ve done so far. Keep in mind that it’s all in progress.

Naturally I’m picking CSM to be my first army into the tabletop game, obviously khorne-based. Right now I’m standing on 10 Berzerkers and 1 Chaos Lord. Crunching the numbers, this is approximately 380 points give or take. Theoretically, if I have my info right, I technically have an army (1 HQ + 2 TROOPS, ‘Zerkers minimum number of units in a squad is 5). the only thing I need to do is cut away some of the white mold blotches, prime, and paint.

And here they are, the whole army, unpainted. There’s a few models I should mention.

First off is this guy. He may not appear so unique, but this guy was the first I assembled. Call it juvinile or silly, but that means something to me.

Second off is these two, who I’ve begun to nickname them “The Brothers”

Melee-Brother is based on a Berzerker model I saw on Dakka Dakka, which I wanted to recreate. Though the pose screamed DUEL-WIELDING to me, to which I did.

Bolter-Brother was made on account on what to do with the realization that because of said duel-wielding, there won’t be another chain-axe for the last guy (which is before I decided to stop at ten Berzerker instead of making all twelve). Unlike Melee-Brother, I like to think of him as the one with more composure.

Well, as much composure as a Berzerker can get.

Because the two are duel-wielding, I made sure to add a combat knife and a bolter on the hip to say that they can still technically shoot and stab respectively.

And then there’s my Skull Champion

This one originated on the idea of a Chain-Halberd. And personally, I wanted to make my Skull Champion stand out, and really none of the bits that the Berzerkers have scream out to me, so I ordered some bits online that filled my personal quota and assembled.

Upon assembling and staring at it, I noticed something was a bit odd about the guy.

The Chain-Halberd, the helmet, the chain-tassel… It all screamed Tzeentch to me. While he’s still a skull champion and will use him as such, I like to believe that he’s a tzeenchian spy.

And last but not least

My Chaos Khorne Lord.

I equipped him with a single Lightening Claw(Space Wolves with the loyalist detail welded out, couldn’t find a chaos one anywhere or where out of stock on bit sites that had them, added the icon in because the bits came with one extra) and a plasma pistol. The Puter model came with a two-handed daemon axe, but after looking though it, I didn’t see being worth it.

Honestly, regardless if Chaos Lords are good or bad on the tabletop, just having this guy doing the ‘CHAOS UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER’ pose makes me grin.

And that’s all of them, waiting to be primed and painted! Which, technically I do have the materials to prime and paint, but I’ll go over that little escapade next post.

Don’t forget to put the first layer of basing materiel down before you spray the base coat. I always get ahead of myself, then end up having to hand prime the basing gunk, which isn’t fun.

And while it may feel like it takes longer, shaving and filing the individual bits before assembly is usually better in the long run. Having some fine hobby-files is usually a nice thing too. 

Last, but not least, don’t forget to BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
