Armoured Support Ready

First objective achieved, 5 vehicles painted to a 'useable' standard - yes I know the Chimera dont have their hull mounts on here, forgot the blue-tack(!).



They saw action on Wednesday for the first time in the Horus Heresy pitted against Word Bearers Space Marines and their demonic allies, it was a tough match up in an ongoing campaign with the Word Bearers trying to set off a munitions stockpile on Terra. I was outnumbered by about 1/3rd in points terms - before even more demons started appearing, but could'nt quite hold the line long enough, aided in part by the (in)accuracy of one of my own Wyverns it has to be said(!).


The next game in the campaign see's the Loyalists holding the outer Walls of the Palace against a World Eaters lead assault. That means I need my Scions ready, and some suitable heavy support choices - suffice to say I'll be cherry picking some of the latest Curious Constructs & Zinge Industries Kickstarter pieces to stand in as Rapiers and Sabre Platforms amongst others.. but first...

Nice to see things are coming along. What do you think of the wyverns? I've been thinking about adding a few to my army.

Filth WorldWordEaterBearers. Stick it to 'em men of Preatoria.

I've been suitably impressed by them Marshall Argos, the amount of firepower they put out for such a cheap unit is very very tasty, the only downside is they are of course competing with Russ & Manticores, at their best in smaller games I think.

I'll get my revenge on the Chaos scum!

Oh, but it's been too long since we've seen a post like this from you...

Colonel Winterborne said...

Huzzah! Finally some newly painted models to add to the army. It's high time you and I had another game...

Admiral Drax said...

Do forewarn us if you do, Winterbourne... if I can, I'd love to come along!

Expect many more Chris!

I'll be doing some work on a sculpting commission tonight which Praetorian fans will like, so that'll be one, but first I need to undercoat my Iron Warrior beastie!

It is Phil! When are you back that's the question? I ahd hoped to go along to the first of the new Throne of Skulls, but not sure if we'll be doing it at the moment or not!
