Reinforcements
Hey,
Very small update today, should get one or two more done over the weekend.
Well I went down to GW Thurrock today to pick up my order and left with the following:
Lord Commissar
Cadian Command Squad
Cadian Heavy Weapon
Eldar Exarch with Fusion Gun
The Command Squad means I can use my current Cadian Squad as an Infantry Platoon. Can't decide if I want to mount all 3 squads into Chimera's or have them footslog.
Pics tomorrow hopefully of assembled stuff.

Plasmagun Conversion and Sergeant Progress
The sharp eyed amonst you will notice the board banner has changed (again), I've decided to go back to my original idea and go with a Chimera mech army rather than a Valkyrie mech army. So today I picked up my second Chimera. This now brings my army to:
Commissar Lord (Friday)
20 Veterans
20 Guardsmen (were going to be conscripts, but can't be taken without an Infantry Platoon. They may become an Inf Plat).
2 Chirmeras
Valkyrie
Leman Russ Demolisher
Plasmagun
The problem with Mordian's is that the only special weapon they don't come with is the plasmagun. So I've tried my hand at converting my own plasma carrier. What do you think?
Sergeant Progress
Had this sitting on my paint station since Sunday. Almost done, infact should be finished tonight.
More later this week,
~Pettsy~

Recent Work
Again no more Guard, that should change next weekend once my Commissar Lord arrives (oh how I'm looking forwards to painting that model!)
So until then I'll share with you some of the other pieces I've been slaving away on these past few weeks.
'The Exiles'
I've always had a soft spot for Elves so I've always wanted an Eldar army. I can't see this army passing the 1,000pt mark. I thought I would go for something bright, vibrant and something that would stick out from the crowd, hence the green and pink colour scheme (something you just can't do with Marines).
Farseer (sword and head are from the Dire Avenger box)
Dire Avenger
Khorne Warriors of Chaos
Exalted Champion (Helm is from the Lord on Juggernaught box)
High Elves
I've decided to completely recollect my High Elf army. I want to do this because after 7 years my original army is battered, broken and an eye sore to me.
Prince Front
Prince Back
Spearelf Step 1 - Robes. Codex Grey, highlighted Fortress Grey
Spearelf Step 2 - Flesh. Elf Flesh, washed Flesh Wash, drybrushed Elf Flesh
Should have more for you next time,

Reinforcements
Hey y'all,
Not a very big update today, works been hectic so I haven't had much painting time to spare. Went into my local(ish) GW to get the HQ required for my Guard and discovered that I would be going home emptied handed (sort of). After a quick chat with the staff I placed an order for my Lord Commissar and something special (more on that at a later date). Now as I left it so late in the week I have to wait til NEXT friday for it to arrive :(
Oh, and before I forget I've just finished applying sand to the bases of all my Guard models. Makes a really nice change to have this finished first rather than last (or in my usual case, never done). So now I can spray everything and get cracking on the painting, and with a bank holiday approaching I'll be pretty busy.
So until next time,

Essexian Progress And Some Bad News
Well I think it's about time that I showed you my progress to date with my Essexian's, lets face it that is why you are reading this :) So without furthur ado.
Cadet-Commissar Aden Trask
Guardsmen
Veteran Sergeant
Chimera
It's sort of finished, all I need to do is work up the courage to do the free hand details on the armour.
Valkyrie
The second picture is a size comparison between the Valk and my Leman Russ (that has had it's barrel shortened).
There are some other bits I have (another commissar and 19 more mordians) that I haven't taken pics of, mostly because they aren't even undercoated yet.
The Bad News
It's happened again. The manic rush of new Guard players has driven me away again. So I'm going to let the rush die before coming back to this army.
A Sneak Peak
Colonel Nalton gazed out the fireslit of the bunker, over the maze of trenchs, the sucking mud, the shell craters and the dead bodies of his regiment. The explosions of grenades and the manic flashing of lasfire was visible across the entire trench network. This was not possible was all he could think, they had sited this position with the utmost care and skill. The enemy, whoever they were, shouldn't have been able to gain footholds in their defences. Hell they should have been killed before they got within 30metres of the firestep! If they got out of this alive someone would take the full blame for this disaster, and it wouldn't be him.
A shadow passed across the fireslit so quickly that he almost missed it. With his augmetic hand he removed his laspistol from his hip holster and checked the load. Full. A loud clank from the armoured access door made him spin around pistol raised. The other troopers with him raised there lasguns. Trooper Gaela walked up to the door and placed his ear to the thick armour. "Sir. There is someone outside". Just as he finished a loud clank echoed through the door. Something had just impacted against it. Gaela kept listening, before turning to face his Colonel. "They've gone, I can't hear . . ." he never finished the sentence. The door and his head turned to liquid as what could only be a meltabeam carved through them both. Nalton and his men fired through the liquid remains. A shadowed figure dived sideways away from the gunfire. The Imperials took this opportunity to reload. Nalton was about to order them to chase the figure but the words died in his mouth as another figure, in green and pink armour, walked through the door and levelled a giant flamer at them. "Bastards . . . ." was all he could say before the interior of the bunker was consumed in fire.
The green and pink armoured figure is going to be a part of my new army, turn and guess which it could be :)
Cheers,
~Pettsy~

I Went, I Fought, I Did Better Than I Thought
Recon Patrol Tournament
Well the tournament has been and gone. I was up til 3am the previous night trying desperately to get my fourth Tactical Squad finished, but no it wasn't doable so a quick change to the list was needed. In the end my list was:
Captain Iterius
with relic blade and a plasma pistol.
Tactical Squad 1
with a flamer and a lascannon.
Tactical Squad 2
with a meltagun and a lascannon.
Tactical Squad 3
with a meltagun and a multimelta.
Assault Squad
with plasma pistol. Sergeant has a powerfist.
Devastator Squad
with 4 heavy bolters.
Game One
Opponent: Space Marines
Number of Objectives: 3. 2 were in his deployment, I placed my 1 in the center of the board in a ruined building.
Result: All 3 objectives held. Opponent 'tabled'
Overall a great start. My opponents army had a lot of heavy weapons which he decided to fire instead of moving. Also if he had Combat Squadded his 2 Tactical Squads he would have been able to go for the objectives better. Though to be honest his luck was appallingly bad and mine was very good.
Game Two
Opponent: Chaos Space Marines
Number of Objectives: 3. 2 in enemy deployment, I placed my 1 in a ruined building in my deployment.
Result: 2 held, 1 contested.
Amusing Moment: My lascannon marine falling off his balconyhidingplace and losing his lascannon in Turn 2. Hits on Turn 1. For the next 2 turns he missed with boths shots, staff member offered to glue it back on for me which I accepted, next turn (with his arm back on) he actually hits.
I had a really bad feeling about this one. My opponents army was led by Huron Blackheart and had Berserkers and Possessed in there. My plan was to destroy the possessed, berserkers and huron whilst pushing for the objective in the left hand corner and maybe push for the other (being held by a large unit of Chaos Space Marines). Again my luck held and I was able to destroy the Berserkers completely, reduced the Possessed to 2 models and my Captain cut off Hurons head with his relic blade! After a few turns I managed to gain control of his left objective and we contested the final objective, I would have 'tabled' him in my next turn if we had had time with my Captain posed for another charge.
Game Three
Opponent: Imperial Guard
Number of Objectives: 3. 2 in my opponents deployment (was getting annoyed with this by now) and 1 in a building in my deployment.
Result: 1 held, 2 held by opponent.
This game can be summed up by two things. My opponent wasting 20mins deploying and the fact that I only needed 1 more turn to win the game. My marines advanced through cover before launching attacks along the guard line, though by this time I had lost a number of models (more than in the previous 2 games combined) so the guard were able to overwhelm me in combat. In the final turn my Sergeant was trying to hold on to the middle objective by himself, I had to make 8 saves on him and failed only 1, so close yet so far. Of course now the game ended just as my captain and assault marines were in range of a charge on his 2nd objective and I lost the game.
If I had won this game I would probabily have beat the next opponent and won the tournament overall. Ah well I had a great time and considering I haven't played 40k for about 4 months the result was brilliant.
Final Results:
1st - Imperial Guard - 8 Objectives
2nd - Imperial Guard (guy I lost to) - 7 Objectives
3rd - Space Marines - 6 Objectives
4 - Imperial Guard - 4 Objectives
Amazing that on the day the Guard Codex had just been released.
Unit of the Tournament: Assault Marines. I really didn't want to take this unit with me for some reason. They defied all expectation and killed everything they came into contact with.
Here are some piccies of my army.
Captain Iterius
Tactical Squad 1
Tactical Squad 2
Tactical Squad 3
Assault Squad
Devastator Squad
Group Shot
Cheers for reading and being patient.
