Furious Charge!

A Kill Team inspired model

The assigning of USRs got me thinking that I wanted to make a model that really said "furious charge". Though it isn't as epic of a pose that was in my head, my limited conversion skills seem to have gotten the job done for the most part.

This actually took quite some time to put together (literally hours). Both hands were cut and repositioned at the wrist as well as the pommel and cross guard/blade. The back of the torso, which with these robed legs is attached, had to be cut off so I could twist the torso slightly up and back - I had to go back and green stuff the robed area to fill where it met his rope belt.

The only qualm I have is how the left shoulder pad does not manage to cover what would be the shoulder of the that arm effectively. I probably should have made another cut, removing the arm's shoulder and placing it the correct position and fill the gap with green stuff. Maybe I can go back and do a little clean up once he's all dry.

All in all, I like it. Batter's up... Going to knock some xeno heads out of the ball park!

Maybe a helmet-less head with a more rage-filled looking, yelling-type face could add to the furiousness.

Chris's Orks - o points

Lootas and Gretchin

Though we laughed when Mike presented his list of only 4 models, they owned the board with their speed, toughness and long range Assualt 3 weaponry. The Necrons pulled off two massacres (Elder and SM) and one additional win to place first with double digit points.

Though the Eldar and Space Wolves tied point-wise, the Eldar technically had two wins and thus claimed 2nd place.

We would like to thank Chris for storming out and giving us all 3 points. If he hadn't, I (Ed) probably wouldn't have even scored 3 points.

The tournament was topped off with a 2v2 match featuring the sons of the Wolf and Lion working together versus a force of dirty xenos, aka Eldar and Necrons. Unfortunately the cowards held back and used their range long enough to inflict the wounds for the proud Astartes to start taking tests. With the Lone Wolf and both sergeants down, a roll of 8 was all it took for a Xeno win.

The four of us agreed if was definitely a fun little tournament and look forward to doing it again. Hopefully next time we can get Billy in with his Tau or Chaos (Think about it Bill, you can probably field like 15 Kroot and some Crisis Suits, that ain't too shabby, remember, in shooting, we can only kill one Kroot at a time).

Deathwing... Ravenwing... Uniwing?

No more bulky bikes for Dark Angel Scouts. Our 10th company will now ride in style on a much more recon-geared vehicle - the motorized unicycle. The Uniwing they shall be dubbed as they ride their sleek, compact, and highly maneuverable unicycles into battle...
