Farseer W.I.P.

 I figured it would be a good time to introduce my in progress Farseer with a blurry picture taken with my crappy phone (better pics to come...I promise). The model is made by Cool Mini and I think it's pretty amazing. Her golden hair is actually artificial, her Ghost Helm, her simple armor studded with wraithbone.

 She wields a witchblade and I decided against trying to strap a pistol to her, as it looked awkward. I think I can get away with mounting it on the base in a less awkward manner.

 I've used a Farseer before and have enjoyed it immensely. Shutting down psychic powers with Runes of warding is a blast and the Divination powers always bring something to the table. I plan on running her with some harlequins to maximize her survivability and hopefully boost their combat effectiveness.

   Really, I just want an excuse to use this mini. I love it! I'll reveal her in all her glory and fill out her back story a.s.a.p. She definitely needs a name...

Iron Hands - more from Shapeways

This is how I envision my terminators...

Just thought I'd open with an awesome picture which is rumored to be the cover of an upcoming Black Library book.  I can't wait.

Handy (with a touch of Badab Black so you can see it)

I recently pruchased more bits from Shapeways.  This time I got some cool shoulder pads from a designer who goes by Dynath.  Totally awesome.

Thirty of them...this is going to take a while

I also got this guy...once he's built I'll run him as a Master of the Forge with conversion beamer on a bike.  

It's like Warhammer 80,000!

One of my terminators is finally getting a chain fist...

Painting in progress

Finally, I made a counts-as Lysander and used him in a game last week.  Lysander crushed a dreadnought (big surprise, right?)

Lysander!

Plasticard Iron Hands Stormshield

Now I need to do some painting.

Works in Progress

Since the NOVA Open I've played a couple games and lately, at my brother's recommendation I've been experimenting with the Blood Angels codex.  It has some options that seem to make it more versatile for the type of troop-heavy lists I'm interested in running (at the moment).  That hasn't stopped me from making some characters that I'm interested in using on the table.  I also wanted some more heavy weapons for variety in my tactical squads.

Counts-as Marneus Calgar

his twin, Counts-as Pedro Cantor

Terminator Librarian with storm shield

Grey Knights bits

I think it's a space wolf storm shield

Terminator Apothecary (Sanguinary Priest)

Honor Guard / Command Squad

Sniper Scouts

Counts-as Telion

Plasma Cannon

Heavy Bolter

I guess after all of the painting I was doing to get ready for the NOVA I was ready to build and convert based on some of the ideas I've had over the past couple months.  The last thing I need to play the Blood Angels list I'm currently working on is a 10 man assault squad with a jump pack priest.  After that I'll have to play it and refine it.  This list will basically be a 180 degree change from the 5 dreadnought list I took to the NOVA Open, instead of mostly vehicles and only two troops it will have four troops and only a few vehicles.
