Badab Campaign: I Love You Lexicanum!

Me again,

Lexicanum have finally been updated with some information on the Star Phantoms. And it's given me a whole host of options.

Before I was under the impression that the Star Phantoms only deployed their 9th Company (Devastator Company) to Badab, according to this new information they actually sent the entire Chapter.

Also it seems that rather than the normal 2 Devastator Squads per Battle Company the Star Phantoms maintain 3 Devastator Squads.

Star Phantom Battle Brother

Star Phantom Terminator

Oh and this is their chapter symbol,

I AM NOT FREEHANDING THAT! NO WAY! haha

Badab Campaign: On A Roll

Hey once more, Been rather productive recently, as you can see below:

Finished the first combat squad for my Star Phantoms and I have to say I'm pretty happy with them. Starting the second half of the squad tonight.

Imperial Fist Scouts

I'm very happy with these guys, which makes a nice change as recently I've not been impressed with any of the models I've finished.

~Pettsy~

What is it?

Any guesses what 'it' is? Or what 'it' is going to be used for?

Would love to hear your guesses. Gonna work on it a bit more this weekend.

Badab Campaign: Big Problem

Just got back from a fun day at GW Southend, spent all day painting and decided to skip playing a game.

Been a pretty productive day which has seen me work on the Tactical Marines, Imperial Fist Scouts and Captain Androcles.

First up is the Tactical Marines and lets just say I'm really not impressed with these. The test model looked good so I got to work on the next 10 and it went down hill from there. Have a look for yourself.

Next are my Imperial Fists Scouts that are finally finished. Very happy with these boys and had a few comments made about them. May look into expanding them into a full 1,000pt Imp Fists list in this scheme.

And finally I've done the conversion for Captain Androcles. And again I'm very happy with the result.

Need to get back to the drawing board with these Star Phantoms.

More soon,

Badab Campaign: Chariots of the Phantoms

Small update tonight, built 3 of the Rhinoes I've had in boxes for a while.

Getting my large drybrush tomorrow and will be spending most of the day down GW Southend hopefully being productive and getting bits painted. Oh and I'm also starting my Captain Androcles conversion. Should be a good day.

May also try to get a game in with my Imperial Fists. Glory to Rogal Dorn!

Badab Campaign: Test Model and Ancient Alondrius

Been busy this weekend assembling my 1,000pt Star Phantoms force, 30 Tactical Marines and the Dreadnought are awaiting undercoated and a lick of paint. One thing I have realised (AGAIN) is that I really hate cleaning mould lines off of models, and when you've got 30 Tactical Marines to clean up it makes you want to scream. You'd think with the advances in injection moulding technology that they would of found a way of stopping mould lines forming.

So this is the first stage of the test model for my scheme. Looking hopeful but the real result won't be apparent til tuesday as I need to purchase a large drybrush to continue. So hopefully come wednesday I should know whether this is the scheme I'm going with.

I've assembled and undercoated Ancient Alondrius, my Dreadnought. Really wanted to arm him with a lascannon but I just didn't have the points for it without reducing the effectiveness of the list elsewhere.

And before I forget there has been a slight change to my 1,000pt list due to lack of available multi-melta's. Each Tactical Squad is now carrying a rocket launcher.

Until next time,

~Pettsy~
