Aquilla Strong Point and Vengeance Batteries

Hey dudes, been a bit slammed last week but I managed to get a few pieces done for my table after closing out 2.1k of the Sons. The big silo needs a more work around the base to match the tones of the Mars mat a bit more but I think the Vengeance batteries are pretty well spot on for a match. I've never bothered to do terrain this well before with plaster, sand and rocks on the bases to integrate the model pieces better with the base and make a more irregular surface but I think it's a no-going-back type of thing now.

I also built some Javelin speeders last night and need to paint them, a Maloghurst conversion and a few more Justaerin before a 2500pt 30k event in November. The Javelins were a nightmare to build honestly, I really didn't enjoy the process at all which is a bit of a shame as they are such gorgeous kits when done but I think the FW molds are getting a little worn as some of the detail was filled in, a lot of big mold lines and even some slippage which I haven't really experienced before. 

Around the models required for the 2500pt list I want to take to the tournament in November I aim to finish the other buildings shown for the table, make some hills and create bases for the GW cargo containers.

Lovely,that looks absolutely fabulous. The integration of the base with the scenery relay works and I agree, once you have gone down that road there is no going back. Looking forward to see how it ends.

Great job -as always-, I love the blend where the metal meets the earth.
Good job making it tie into the mat so well, ditto with your troops. A nice solid theme all around. Shame about the speeders though, at least they are done now and ready for paint.

Now stop making me want to SoH! I did some of my BaC as Imperial Fists but SoH are tempting me and I am waiting for the SW stuff to drop to be sure.
Thanks boys!

I reckon SW will be a cracker Rory and the loyalists get better access to toys and allies at the moment so you can make a more diverse army. Do love the SoH but they don't quite have the level of flexibility as the loyalist forces do.

Mors Miles - The Death Knight - Legio Vulpa Maniple 13.

Next up, the Princeps Senoris of my favourite maniple style in the game, the Ferrox! Princeps Senoris Agdex is a lead from the front type homie. He has a flair for destruction and more often than not, his Assault Reaver Titan - Mors Miles isn't spared from copping it either. I play Mors Miles and it's matching counterpart Atro Messorum quite aggressively, often pushing the two up together then rotating the lead titan so they can share the damage taken before dishing it back out within the Melta half range. In the most recent event, Mors Miles was detonated in 2/5 games due to this play style but it created opportunities to take the objectives or for other Titans in the battlegroup to get the kill shots while also claiming quite a few engine kills of his own.

Acastus Knight Porphyrion COMPLETED!!!!!

Acacstus Knight Porhpyrion, easily the biggest and most complex kit build and paint job I have ever done for a gaming miniature. I'm really happy with the result but the 60 hrs I spent on getting it finished kinda baked my noodle. I have no idea how the titan painters get through it! Anyway here are some studio shots, let me know what you think!

Hey Dudes, I don't think I ever chucked up a photo of this bad boy but getting and painting one of the new option heads was a good excuse to get some decent photographs. It's my favourite knight chassis but my least favourite head so I'm really glad they released some options. That's it for a while, we're up to date with what I've done now. I'm gonna set to making a gaming table and some terrain again and will continue to add some units to both the knight force and the Death Guard. <3 Jack
