Road to LVO 2023 Post III These veterans of hundreds of wars, and thousands of battles, have just had their armor repainted and are ready for another fight.  "Into the fires of battle, unto the anvil of war!"

Road to LVO 2023 Post II I just finished repainting and rebasing my Terminator Sergeant for my Rogue Trader Salamanders army. To be honest, I'm not that happy with it.  I'm not able to get the sharp, bright edge highlights that 90s models had. It looks great in person, then the photo brings up tons of flaws. Ug. I'm not sure about the banner either - I may revisit that later but I want to stick to the 90s 'Eavy Metal style.

  On the Road to LVO 2023! Instead of chasing the meta, I think I'm going to take my Oldhammer Salamanders army to the LVO this year. Most of the models have been stripped and reprimed but I'll have to paint nearly the entire army again; that's about 45 models to paint in about 6 months. I've wanted an excuse to paint more oldhammer and this project will set some goals and the deadline will keep me motivated. This thunder hammer and shield fellow is my first test at trying the old 'eavy metal style. I think the edge highlights on the black may be too white and the green highlights need some cleanup but I'm OK with this result. I'll keep posting with new updates on the army and playtest results. *Of course my army A.D.D. may kick in and I'll change my mind later...* Wish me luck! #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #new40k #spacemarines #astartes #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #armageddon40k #40kterminators

I bought a ticket to a thing. Who else is going?  I'll likely take my Dark Angels Deathwing list, or some version of it. The LVO is 7th months away and 40k could be a very different game then. Warzone Nephilim will certainly be out, probably 6 or 7 new (or revised) codexs, a couple of balanced data slates and FAQs... plus 10th edition can't be far behind; so who knows what I'll take. I may have my Oldhammer army ready to play with for the cool factor but I'd like to score as many points with my DAngles for a single faction.
