Ballistus Reporting!

I now have all three dreadnought types! After playing my first two matches with the brutallis and redemptor and losing them immediately I’m excited to use this guy and potentially not lose him immediately.

4th Company Impulsor

In some ways quicker than a gladiator because no turret. But the the truck bed was more intensive than I expected.

First 40K Win!

Second game ever played, first win (against an equally new player) things went much butter than my first game. Ceramite Sentinels seemed to be underrated as heck with all the rerolls for just being toed into terrain. Lysander and his brick are undefeated and for the second time my dreadnought got popped without doing a single thing before it died.

Oath of Moment

Got inspired to make a custom oath of moment token when I saw a Dark Angels player at my LGS with one. What do you guys think.

Pugnus Imperatoris Sumus

Idk why but I like to keep my army WYSIWYG, so had to paint a whole new set of Sternguard with bolt rifles to run instead of the combi weapons that came with some of the push fit ones I already had. And I also finished my intercessors from the Armageddon box, this group seemed to take forever but that probably comes with painting 10 marines at the same time as well as going on a week long vacation in the middle of it.

My New Company Heroes

The company heroes that comes with the imperial fist combat patrol were some of the first models I painted and I was still learning at the time. I had tried that painting in sub assembly and had a lot of hiccups when reassembling after everything was painted.

When I saw that new ancient and banner i knew I needed to use it somehow. Even though it seems like the standalone ancient isn’t quite useful in game. So I bought the champion for the black Templars and made a new company heroes. Oddly enough one of my favorite parts is the veteran sergeant with the deathwatch pauldron. Implies a lot of background lore without having to explain anything.

The last photo is my original company heroes for reference.

Freehand Text

Feel like when you look at your own work for too long it’s hard to be objective. Any tips or pointers on text that anyone has would be helpful.

GRAVIS!!!!

Now I just need an LT in gravis, a chaplain in gravis, maybe some infiltrators or eliminators in gravis? Haha

Rate my Black Library

I think I got a good enough angle where you can see all the titles. Except for my copy of Belisarius Cawl and Veterans of the fall.

First Armageddon Model Complete

Wanted to knock out this librarian as I’d just recently finished the Phobos version in anticipation of the Emperors Shield/Librarias Enclave detachment combos and wanting to run this guy with my 10 man sternguard brick. Pretty happy with the model. Fun pose.

First Kill Team Complete

My first ever Warhammer miniature purchase was the kill team tomb world box that I haven’t even started because I quickly purchased the minis to start my imperial fist army. Got about 4500 points of fists painted and picked up the Deathwatch Armageddon battalion. Decided to paint a kill team in the week leading up to the Armageddon release. Here is the finished product!

First time with some of these colors like the blue on the shoulder pad and the green on the plasma coils. Really happy with how everything turned out. Also first time with these snow tundra bases. Never used grass tufts or the snow before.

Eventually I’ll finish my two other kill teams and the Corvus Blackstar. Let me know how I did!

Phobos Librarian

Excited at how useful the librarians seem like they are gonna be in 11th edition. Last one I need is the normal librarian I’ll be picking up today with my Armageddon box!

Fourth Company Vindicator

One of the first vehicles I purchased but the last one I assembled, would be just my luck if it goes straight into legends for 11th edition. Such a sick model, it’s funny how small the rhino based vehicles are compared to the primaris vehicles.

u/ThunderBuddie69 — 2 months ago

Librarian in Terminator

First ever librarian model for me. Was a little worried about this shade of blue after the base coat but think it turned out pretty good in the end.

u/ThunderBuddie69 — 2 months ago

Finished my Terminators

Finished my last squad of terminators from crux terminatus. Wasn’t sure I was gonna do the captain as I feel like Lysander is the only first company captain in my heart, hahaha. But the captain in Terminator army was a fun model.

Also really enjoyed what I’m calling my shredder squad. Chain fists and heavy flamer, really proud of this squad and especially the sergeant. The white and black fists were to cover some contrast paint mistakes but turned out really good I think!

Newest Members of Company Leadership

I think I have every lieutenant now except the reaver. Had a lot of fun with the apothecary extracting his fallen brother’s geneseed.
