New Space Marines Battle Reports

Vanguard Kitbashing

Ian here (the D3+1 Tau, Deathguard and Ultramarine player).

Obviously we'll be covering the new Space Marines release a lot in up coming videos and I've got some new models to play with. I picked up the new Vanguard box without any intention of using them for anything other than a collection of wonderful bits to pillage for other uses and I thought I'd show off some stuff I've done with it.

Here's something basic to start with. I used the Relic Blade and one of the Storm Shields from the box and did some surgery on the sergeant from the Space Marine Command Squad box to create a custom Chapter Master I plan to use sometime soonish (armed with the Burning Blade and the Shield Eternal).

As for the bodies of the Vanguard marines themselves I decided to turn them into Honour Guard. For those that don't know - the only official Honour Guard models for marines are the Ultramarine themed ones that come in the box with Calgar. If you want to field a lot of them (which is something else I want to try) you kind of have to fend for yourself. So here we have the Vanguards transformed into Honour Guard using some spare power wepaons and backpacks I had in my bits collection. The Company Champion is using a Thunder Hammer from the Vanguard box.

Randomized Armies! : Blood Angels vs Eldar 1000pts (video batrep)

When we are short on time, we try to squeeze in quicker 1000 point games.

 As a change of pace, we decided to write a 1000 point list for every army we collectively own!

First up, Ian drew Blood Angels and James drew Eldar (oops!). Both armies were James' so he had written both.

This worked out a bit like a grudge match, devastation both sides as the game goes the full distance.

We aren't too sure who won because of the first blood wording with independent characters so please let us know what you think - page references would be preferable!

A Stern Warning

...of things to come!

Some more battle reports have been filmed but the camera holding the footage went on a magical trip meaning we don't have access to it until this weekend. In the meantime I've gotten around to starting to paint the Sternguard for my Ultramarines.

Painting Updates

Here I am again filling some space with updates on my recent paint jobs. I finished off my Nurgle themed Obliterators and also finished the Techmarine for my Space Marines that mans one of my Thunderfire Cannons.
