Relictors Space Marine Vanguard Biker Detachment

Hello All, (a bit of a filler post but no apologies, its a worthy sight) - after a successful Squaduary painting pledge of a Space Marine Bike Squad, I thought I would show off the entire Bike Vanguard contingent of my Relictors Battle Company. Now five full squads, Scout Bikes, Attack Bikes and some Characters. 

The Attack Bikes can be found HERE. The Scout Bikes HERE and the Master of the Forge HERE 

The Characters for the Biker contingent, Chaplain, Captain on a Jet Bike and a Librarian

Now, just need a battle to let them rip! Cheers, Siph.

 

Army Spotlight - Chaos Daemons - Jan 2020

Hello All, thanks for dropping by for a look-see. I hope you all had a good Christmas/Holidays period. Happy New Year too. So, I can't remember if I ever posted an Army Photo of my Chaos Daemons to date, certainly not in my labels for [Army Photo] so had to fix that and took the opportunity to dust the cabinet at the same time. What's not pictured is my latest additions seen after Christmas last year, Poxbringer, Flamers and Chaos Spawn.

The nice thing about Chaos Daemons are that the army is a wild wacky mix of colours and it's not Power Armour - it's organic, it's whatever colour you want really - I have green [Pink] Horrors because you know, Tzeentch likes it like that!

The army is headed up by a ForgeWorld Greater Daemon of Nurgle, a Great Unclean One, or when I get around to painting my two plastic GUO, this one will represent Scabieathrax the Bloated named Daemon.

For normal games of 40K, the Daemon Prince with Wings will probably be my Warlord. He is a fallen Ultramarine because Lord Halfpenny has a fallen Relictor Daemon Prince!

I also have the old sculpt of Fateweaver, I think for Fatey I prefer the smaller sculpt, the Greater Daemon Lord of Change can be the new larger plastic sculpt when I get around to getting one. This was painted by my good blogger buddy Nick at The Burning Eye

First of my troops choices, 10 Bloodletters, yes I need more but as a starter I have 10 of each of the boxed troops. I painted these.

Daemonettes painted by another blogger buddy, Dr Rob Hill at 30k Plus 40K, another great talented painter but I think Doctoring has taken him away from his blog for a while now - come back Rob!

'Cute' Nurglings painted by me again. A side project distraction whilst the hobby butterfly flutters about...

Pink [green] Horrors by Dr Rob Hill

Plaguebearers by Nick T

Plaguebearers by me again.

Bloodcrushers by Nick T, the great thing about Daemons is even though they are painted by several people and I return every now and then, the non-cohesive nature of the army doesn't affect the overall look of the army in the slightest.

Fiend of Slannesh by Nick T

Plague Toads by me again.

Screamers of Tzeentch by Nick T

Seekers of Slannesh by Nick T

Chaos Spawn, repainted by me.

Flamers of Tz, repainted by me.

Poxbringer of Nurgle, eBay find, part painted by me.

So, there you have it. A lot of room to expand and add units and a wealth of Special Characters. I think I will experiment using some Contrast Paints on some of these, more troops and next in the painting queue will be a Great Unclean One and a Rotigus GUO plus some Plague Drones - I quite like Nurgle... 

Cheers, Siph.

Necron Dynasty - Army so Far - Feb 2019

Hi All, well amongst painting Relictor Space Marines, Titans and various other hobby projects when my HBS (Hobby Butterfly Syndrome) allows, I've been plugging away at the Necron Dynasty - slowly emerging from its Tomb World...

This was the state of the army back in February 2015, Scarabs, air power and Imotekh Stormlord, so since this I have heavily added to the Warriors and Destroyers and Immortals...

Three Night Scythes and an Obelisk should be enough airpower, Obelisks when Apoc first dropped were quite effective anti-air, but now I think it's quite nerfed...

Here is the Triarch Stalker and Tomb Stalker with a C'Tan Shard or in apoc games a Transcendent C'Tan and furthest right is the Forge World Tesseract Ark.

Here is a better shot of the Tesseract Ark and the Annihilation Barge, Canoptek Wraiths and the ‘line highlight nightmare’ Ghost Ark - kinda put me off getting a Dommsday Ark, but I guess I'll get one eventually...

Here is Imotekh the Stormlord at the head of the phalanx of Warriors, I like the idea that a Necron Army should have lots of Warriors so 55 so far, might stop at 60...

Then some Scarabs, 18 bases so I can spawn lots or have three maxed out units. I added at least six Scarabs to each base, many people play these with just four but they are meant to be a swarm so more the better imho.

Every Dynastic Overlord needs a bodyguard, so my Lychguard and Praetorians so far. Think I will add some Warscythe wielding ones too, or maybe another 5 'sword and board'.

In 7th you could field a Destroyer Cult, so I built one, now just lots of Destroyers and two Heavy Destroyers converted using Tomb Blade Gauss Weapons, and led by a Destroyer Lord.

My Canoptek beasts, Canoptek Wraiths, of which I have another 9 to do; Canoptek Spyders and some Forge World Acanthracites - the Canoptek Mosquitoes.

The Obelisk I made when they were more effective at anti-air, now I guess it will not get much use, another purchase in the future will be a Tesseract Vault - it's quite an imposing vehicle so will definitely be coming soon(ish).

The main guy himself, his rules in 5th were really good, somewhat nerfed now, but I like the mini, I can always play as an Overlord. The Lord behind is the spare from the Annihilation Barge kit, and Vargard Obeyron the ideal bodyguard flanks him on the right.

There you have it, not a bad looking force, second to my beloved Space Marine Relictors Battle Company but still a sizeable force.

Thanks for checking this out and dropping by.

Cheers, Overlord Siph.
