The Road to LVO 2023 Part I

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!

RTT Tournament results!

I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience. I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid...
