New HQ

While working on my Crimson Fist Captain from AoBR I started thinking about the other HQ choice for my army. I want that to be a Librarian and after reading the Thousand Sons heresy book I had an idea from the cover art to make a gem on the breast plate. I knew the breast plate that I wanted and started looking though my bits collection to find it. I always find this a bad idea since while looking at what I had (which is always like finding something new since I never remember what I have) I changed my mind completely.

Now I will at some point I will do the gem idea even for the fun of it and when I do I will post it up here. Now after a few years of gaming you collect a few things so I will list the parts I am going to use for my Librarian.

- Dark Angel hooded head with face
- Black Templar body with cross removed from the belt and Terminator Honours glue in its place.
- Grey Knight Captain Stern’s Sword
- Metal arm from veteran sergeant with bolt pistol and green stuff skull on the shoulder guard
- Legs, tabards and bits

I think that covers everything except the back pack which I am still deciding on but thinking about Cypher’s or just a normal pack with standard above. I will post a picture up of the parts once they are cleaned up but before I undercoat.

Let’s see what happens!

Now and Then!

Well strange things do happen and I have indeed started to paint my AoBR SM Captain. Of course he is going to be my Crimson Fists captain and he puts me one step closer to finishing my 1250 points for MOAB (Mother Of All Battles) before October.

I also have one sergeant to mod into my Librarian by giving him a hood and some scrolls I think. It’s that or see if I have a metal one somewhere in the hoard of figures that I am slowly making my way through. With only 4 months to go firstly I hope that don’t change the army points from 1250 which it has been for the last few years I have been going without playing and secondly that I give myself enough time to finish off the army.

Funny being only four months to go and then I can start on the next 1250 army which I am guessing will either be Orks or Tyrainds. I know I can fielded more Nids than I can Orks but I want to look at some converting of the Orks .

I have some old metal Ogryn’s that I want to try converting one into my Warboss with Eavy Armour, Big Choppa and Twin-lInked shoota . I am debaiting that I would add a chained grot to the Warboss with the thought of using it as an attack Squig but will think about that. I have the AoBR Orks and a small hand full of other orks that I will have to see what I really do have, might look at the second goods at MOAB for more Orkiness.

As always let’s see what happens!

June already

Getting in time for anything anymore seems to be far from my grasp. The Month of May I was attempting to get just the Captain for the AoBR box painted and all I have managed is the undercoat him and start construction of his base. Maybe it’s the 4 hours of travel I have every week day added with work time and then weekends are catching up on sleep and playing with my son who is 2.

I know I should make time for the hobby and luckily I have started playing 1 game of 40k a month and at least 2 games of Necromunda. This I know doesn’t sound much but for me it’s a wonderful thing that my wife doesn’t have a problem with this.

No in that little rant we are into June and my goal for this month is to finish that captain, convert up one of my sergeants to a librarian and with some luck paint up my Razorback.

Let’s see how I go!
