Christmas has been and gone.....

 Well happy new year all! Hope you all had a good holiday season and your piles of potential grew !

This Christmas was an armoured vehicle Christmas for me. Sadly not a real life tank but I got another Rogal Dorn which has already been painted and used in a battle. Turns out 2 Rogal Dorns are a wonderful firebase to attack with!

There she is in all her glory. Why red you ask? Well because I have a lot of green AFVs over my various games so wanted the Dorn to stand out plus with the new codex coming out, we have available Royal Dorn tanks commanders so an officer has to stand out.  Similar weapon load out to my other Dorn but instead of the Castigator cannon I have added the pulveriser cannon and heavy stubbers instead of melta guns. The main gun is the same as the only other option is double battle cannon which sounds good but in game is terrible compared to the oppressor cannon and auto cannon combo. 

The Lion warriors not to be out done in the heavy armour stakes also got some serious armour. 2 land raiders! Well proxies from Station Forge bought off HammerLine Miniatures. Being 3d printed you get all manner of weapons for them and I honestly tried to magnetise the first one . After 15 minutes of frustration I gave up. I only really wanted 2 of the 3 variants so I built a land raider Redeemer (packing 2 heavy flamers) and a Land Raider (bringing god hammer las cannons to the field). These have been undercoated but not painted yet.

Don't worry the droopy gun was fixed 😂

These will hopefully help me get my terminators and blade guard into melee quickly and relatively safely!

Next up my awesome friend Dave printed me an inquisitor as I have a new idea to add a bit of variety to my Guard army.

She was painted using the slap chop method in sure you have all heard of. I thought I am would attempt it to see if it made a difference. I still have no idea but I have have great under coat so everything is being done by that method for a while.  She has a unit waiting to be painted and all will be revealed. 

Last of all my sessions cousin Adam printed me my very own Steve the Guardsman.  You may never have heard of Steve but what starter as a meme now is born as a miniature. 

The meme is a necrons Flayed one who on killing a guardsmen has taken on that role (they are supposed to be insane!) here's one of the memes

And here is Steve!

He's already to join the ranks of the Imperial Guard!

That's all for now!
