Finally... Stargazer's come back to 40k.

Well it's been a while guys, what with uni and christmas etc it has been a bit mental but after a long break from 40k playing mainly Malifaux, I feel fresh and revitalised and ready to get rolling dice again! My personal goal is to make it to Blog Wars 3 after letting 2 Blog Wars slip by I feel I should start to represent and actually turn up to this one lol.

So I've been writing a few lists and settled on one I like that I feel will be relatively competitive. I started off with the Blood Angels codex but after having written a few lists I couldn't get one to fit the way i wanted to play so went back to the Vanilla codex (I know boo, hiss, why the fuck would you do that you idiot, etc.) and I have come up with something that I think I quite like.

So without further ado here's the list;

Cassius

Hestan

7 Sternguard w/3x Combi Melta (one on sarge), Combi-Flamer, Heavy Flamer, Powerfist (on Sarge) Transport: Rhino w/ HKM

Ironclad w/ Heavy Flamer, Meltagun, in Drop Pod x2

10 Tacts w/ Flamer, Missile Launcher Transport: Rhino w/ HKM x2

10 Tacts w/ Meltagun, Multi-Melta Transport: Rhino w/ HKM

5 Assault Marines in Drop Pod w/ 2x Plasma Pistols, Meltabombs

This comes in at 1740 so some points to squeeze some extras in. My only thoughts were potentially to drop Cassius and bring a unit of Sniper Scouts w/ Missile Launcher instead as well as give the Sergeants in the Tac squads Power Weaps.

Right lets dissect the list and give my rationale in taking the units.

Stargazer's Painting/Malifaux Corner - Knights Sanguine Showcase

Well.. How can I follow that?? That really is an awesome robot!!

Anyway time to continue with my army showcase, I thought I'd showcase some footsloggers today but instead of your standard marines I'm bringing you something a bit different that unfortunately you don't get to see on the tabletop anymore or at least not in competitive play :(

Here are my Terminators. These were one of the first units I painted for this army, probably about 2 years ago. My plan which I followed through for this army was to try not to spend more than 2 hours on any model. Allowing me to churn out a decent sized army while still making them look like a decent tabletop standard. In reality most models actually only took me around 1 hour as I got the colour scheme down.

For these boys I wanted them to look like they had seen some action as well as having more purity seals which I green-stuffed on. They have like the rest of my army been weathered with forgeworld weathering powders. I also painted lots of scripture on their armour as they are relics of the chapter.

As always if you want to contact me about anything painting related please comment or email me at joshualeak@hotmail.com

Oh and here's sneak peak of my showcase next week ;)

Stargazer out.

Stargazer's Painting/Malifaux Corner - Knights Sanguine Showcase

Hi guys sorry bout last week don't really have an excuse so I wont try to give one lol. Important thing is that I'm here now. I thought that this week to give you guys a break from the malifaux which no one understands lol I would showcase my 40k space marine army - Knights Sanguine.

I warn you this is very pic heavy although my photography skills aren't the greatest.

So I'll start with some of the vehicles to here's an Ironclad/Furioso and a Vindicator. Any questions on how things are done/techniques as always ask in the comments or email me. Feel free to leave comments and criticisms if you have any ;)
