Returning to Praetorian Guard

I've written about this before, but I love the Praetorian Guard of the Imperial Guard, nay Astra Militarum. I'm day dreaming about playing them again but they are in various states of stripped paint, waiting for fresh primer and a coat of paint. Annnndddd rebasing.

I took a brief break from painting my Wolves for the LVO to do a quick repaint on one of my troopers. I'm hemming and hawing over the perfect color pallet for these guys but i think this is going to be the final paint choice.

Hull Red and Heavy Red for the blouse.

Heavy Blue + black for the trousers.

Administratum Grey for the helm and gear.

WWII Russian Uniform for the Las gun.

Heavy Yellow for the eppilets.

Man, those guys seem so tiny compared to the new scale of 40k models.

Salamanders Badab War Veteran

Primaris Marines are great sculpts, but they will never have the soul of the old hand-sculpted models. The Badab War is my favorite battle in the 40k universe and its one of the reasons that the Salamanders are my favorite Space Marine chapter. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #salamanders #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #astartes #armageddon40k

Bad News for Deathwing

The new Balance Data Slate was released today for Warhammer 40k 9th edition and my beloved Dark Angels Deathwing list took a beating. If you don't have the codex, the fourth bullet point was the rule that gave Inner Circle infantry units, like Deathwing Terminators, Transhuman Physiology. Basically, the key feature that most players loved about the list. Rest in peace, Deathwing, we hardly knew ye. Also, what a crappy way to write that rule?! Why not simply include a sentence that says, Inner Circle models do not benefit from transhuman without use of a strategem? I know 10th edition is supposed to be cleaner and easier to understand, but this does not bode well. I'm not really a loyal Dark Angels player (see what I did there?) so I'll just shift back to playing one of my other Marines armies or orks. I've been day dreaming about a Thunder Warriors army again and dug out some bits to work on conversions. I'm loving the idea of a Age of Stryfe White Scars/Star Hunt...

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.
