Renegade Lord of War Analysis

An excellent blog, The Dice Abide, just posted a review of the various LoW available to Chaos Renegades. "But Helmet," you find yourself saying, "this site is mostly IG. Why link to information about chaos?" Great question. Most of the renegade options they stole from us, literally in some cases (dirty traitors), so a lot of the information applies to both. Plus, the example models he showed are amazing (the Warhound!)

A Little Recon in Force

Just because B&C's ETL challenge is over doesn't mean my army is. Moving on from infantry, I'm getting this armored sentinel finished and ready for deployment.

My veterans are finished...

I'm not a 100% thrilled with these guys but they are finished, as of right now. If I'm still unsatisfied with them, I'll come back to them later. I've chimeras and a sentinel looking for paint and very close to finishing my summer goal. It'll be a photo finish folks.

Group shot, had to prove they're all finished

A blurry meltagunner.

My favorite mini in the bunch. Unique pose with a few SM Scout bits thrown in.

Sergeant McAxe, normally just a CCW but a poweraxe when working with platoons

Getting So Close

So very close to finished. Love the look of those bronzed meltas.

Another Painting Update: Cutting it Close

I'm almost done with the three squads of meltavets. I've resigned myself to not finishing the whole army by the end of summer but these guys are getting finished, so help me God.

The overall quality of most of them at this point.

Group Shot!, squeeze it in guys.

A Minor Painting Update

I have not gotten a lot of painting done in the last few weeks. This leaves me fearful that I will not get the army finished by the end of the summer but I am at least still confident that I can finished these veterans by the end of August. Even though I could barely stop my hand from shaking from fatigue (got about three hours of sleep last night) I still got in an hour tonight as I try to get back on track to consistent painting.

Worked on the biggest open and smooth portion of their armor, the shoulders (because this is 40k.)

Six of the thirty already had the whole armor finished.

50 points, 50 points...hmm...

I had two games yesterday, battle reports to follow, and I'm pleased as I reasonably could be with my list, except for my Armored Sentinel. Now, I don't expect a lot from fifty points, especially with that fifty being invested in one BS 3 shot. Despite that, I'm considering swapping them out for five ratling snipers. I'd love the opinion of my scant readers...

That, and they're a cool concept.
