New Bases for my Inquisition!


Hello!

This past weekend I attended Maul in the Mall here in Cleveland with my Grey Knights, and I preformed very well; Best General went to me and my Inquisition. However, my paint score suffered greatly due to my lack of proper bases and a display board and that cost me best overall by three points. Here is a picture of before.

As you can see I didn't have much on them. So, I sought to rectify this ASAP. I have a nice alien invasion theme on my purifiers and dreadnoughts, so I decided to switch all my purifier bases to my henchmen and order a terminator and flyer-base sized base from www.secretweaponminiatures.com. Here they are completed:


My entire army hast his motif now and everything is based in this theme. They look awesome. The only thing left is a proper display board being assembled by Tony here on the blog!

I'll be posting about my new Space Wolf face-lift shortly, but this was the most pressing issue I've recently completed.

Adepticon!

Adepticon is coming up next month, and since I'm going....I guess I should paint! Originally I had planned on taking my DE, but real life has hit my painter realllllllly hard in the past few weeks and they will not be completed.

So enter the Inquisition! This will be an ambitious project, as I have roughly 26 days to paint, base, and build a display board for this:
List:
Coteaz
Ordo Xenos Inquisitor with rad+pychotroke grenades, psyker: hammerhand, 3 skulls
3 x 1 Techmarines with orbital bombardment (2 skulls split between 2)
5 death cult assassins + 5 crusaders
5x3 acolytes w/ las/plas razorbacks
3 stormravens, tl multimelta, tl plasma cannon, searchlight


This is a rather unconventional GK list, but it is very fluffy and I feel like it covers my bases as far as tournaments go. It has a lot of high str shooting (multi meltas, lascannons, plasma guns, orbital lance), a lot of anti infantry (mindstrikes, orbital barrage, plasma cannons), and 6 troops. Plus it can have mobile scoring running in ravens or static gunline tactics.

Also, psychobroke grenades + 5 death cult assassins + rad grenades + hammerhand = Damn!

So follow this blog to check my progress, I will be updating as often as I can between now and Adepticon.

Intro to the wolf

Hello All,




Just wanted to take a moment and welcome everyone that follows this blog, or even just visits here from time to time. I would also like to say thank you for visiting. This is going to be a blog that tracks my progress with my new Warhammer 40k army - Space Wolves. The army is themed to follow Bran Redmaws's Great Company. I decided to forgo the classic Space Wolf icy/cold basing, and opted to go for the summer months of Fenris....molten lava. I currently have my 2000 points all put together and only needs painting. I will update this blog as I finish each squad. When finished I will have 5 Grey Hunter (GH) squads, 3 Long Fang (LF) squads, and 1 Wolf Guard (WG) squad. There will be tanks/transports for each squad as well except for the WG's. I have 2 Rune Priests that will fall into the 2k points too! For additional support I have mustered up 5 Fenerisan Wolves, Arjack Rockfist, 6 Games Workshop (GW) Thunder Wolf Calvary (TWC), Nyjal Stormcaller, 2 Wolf Lords, and Canis Wolfborn. The TWC's will probably be based the classic Icy theme.

Here is a link to my blog houseofelstudios.blogspot.com  You will find a more in-depth review of my SW army building process. 


Some of my goals –

*this army WILL be finished before ATC gaming tournament.

*I also wish to go to Games Day 2012. This army is being painted to the best of my abilities in order to submit some of my models into the Golden Demon competition in Chicago. I can dream right!

*I would like to submit a portion of these models for the Armies on Parade (AoP)...so there will be a display board x2 involved in this blog as well. 1 will be the normal armies’ board, and the other will be specifically for AoP (unless I can incorporate ice and fire into a single board).




This is just a simple introduction post to the blog to let everyone know what is coming soon. I will be posting pictures, tutorials, and updates as I progress through the stages of painting. Expect another post within a couple of days once I get my photos sorted out.

Once I get this blog up and running be looking for my Superman Themed Grey Knights (GK) army blog.



Again, thank you for visiting; I hope you all decide to follow me!
