feeds@yuku.com (Sanguinus) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:26:48 GMT

evening guys. Im new here, and i need some help with my BA army.
See, i live in South Africa, and i recently bought me assault on Black Reach.
I am thinking of Expanding my army, but the thing is i don't know with what. My friends all say i should go for a land raider or something extravagant like that.
But im thinking more along the lines of troops, get more bulk.

What do you guys think??

Space Hulk Novella

feeds@yuku.com (CLBenarius) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:19:49 GMT

I read the Space Hulk novella and was wondering who else has read it and what your opinion is. I thought it started off a little wooden. Its seemed like mr Thorpe was just writing certain things for the sake that it was included in the game and character development was near non existent. Although I didn't look too closely, the chronological data at the start of each chapter seemed very tight. Of...

CI's Space Hulk Terminators

feeds@yuku.com (Codicier Ignatius) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:31:51 GMT

I've finished painting my first 3 Terminators, and I'm quite happy with how they came out. I went for a classic scheme, with a bright red and black power fists. The models are great to paint, and the amount of detail means there are lots of opportunities for different painting techniques. I went for red blood drop gems, and I think it worked out well. There seems to be enough definition to separate them from the red armor around them, but I'm particularly interested in other...

Space Wolves; how about us?

feeds@yuku.com (IsawaShori) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:23:18 GMT

So with the sons of Russ getting a revamped codex, has anybody heard if Blood Angels will be getting an updated codex? Or will we be stuck with the PDF for this edition?

My first Space Hulk Terminator

feeds@yuku.com (Mostwanted) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 04:46:29 GMT

This is my first painted Space Hulk Terminator. It took quite a long time to do and I've not got much painting time in the next few weeks due to work, so it will be a slow progress getting the others done.

I will be mounting them on standard Terminator bases. So let me know what you think. I would particularly like to know what you think of the blue blood drops. I'm still undecided about them. If they...

Space Wolves 5th Edition Review (and strategies for and against)

My battle brethren, I have had the pleasant opportunity to look through the new Space Wolves codex, and here are my findings. I shall break it down similar to my review of the Imperial Guard. a few posts prior. Without much ado...

one of these selections added to the following list below for total of 1750

1500 points

Death Company (5) (1 DC bought) Rhino and FURIOSO DC...

Veterans, Chaplain, and Librarian

feeds@yuku.com (Codicier Ignatius) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:04:51 GMT

I've been on a bit of a painting spree since I returned from my Summer field work. Having finished a good chunk of what I was working on, I figured I'd post what I'd done.

First up is my second Veteran Assault squad. This one isn't as vintage as the last one, being based on Death Company models and normal Assault Marines. The squad has a flamer, meltagun, pair of lightning claws, and two thunder hammers. I'm happy with how they came out, and I'm pleased to...

First Space Hulk Game Played

feeds@yuku.com (CLBenarius) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:25:15 GMT

Hi guys,

well I finally got to play my first space hulk game last night. Or to be more accurate first 4 games. And to ruin the suspense I really enjoyed the game.

Me and my opponent played the first two missions each as Blood Angels and as Genestealers.

The first mission (for those who don't know) is called Suicide, its the one in the recent WD report, and the name is fitting as its hard as nails on the marines. Befored playing it I commented it would be...

Space Hulk Terminators

feeds@yuku.com (Codicier Ignatius) — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 07:35:02 GMT

So I got my copy of Space Hulk this week (due in major part to my girlfriend getting it as an early birthday present for me), and I figured I'd start a thread for everyone that's picking it up to discuss the models and what they're doing with them.

First off, the models look fantastic. I've never seen this much detail on a plastic model. A caveat of this is that there are so many details that many of the sprue attachments touch them, so you have to be very careful...

Codex Wishlist...

feeds@yuku.com (Cruentus11) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:50:28 GMT

I hope this topic is not one to be considered "bad" here on this site. Just no one has been posting much lately and I am hoping to spur some nice conversations. I am also NOT rumor-mongering, as there is nothing out on our new codex yet, other than a 2010 release date. I am just wondering what everyone would like to see change or stay the same with the new update. I know I have my thoughts, here are just a few to get this thread started:

Stay the same:

Opinion of the audio book?

feeds@yuku.com (CLBenarius) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 05:26:40 GMT

Hi all,

Has anyone listened to the BA audio book yet? What is your opinion. I haven't bought it yet because I'm afraid the BA are depicted in it the same way as in the books. However I would like to hear some good BA fluff so maybe this one is different?

Things "left out" from the latest codex

feeds@yuku.com (Nuttaknight) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 12:47:13 GMT

I was on my way to making and painting my Blood Angels Death Company and while looking through the cute little pdf codex, noticed that things like grails, sanguinary priests(not counting corbulo), awesome sauce furious charge, black rage, etc.(among other things) are all gone.

That, and the codex doesn't explicitly exclude or confirm strange point differences which make things like predators and dreadnoughts cost more(wtf?) and or say if combat tactics...

New Tables and my prize winning bastion...

feeds@yuku.com (Cruentus11) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:16:35 GMT

Hey everyone,

Been a long time, but just wanted to post some new pics of our recent projects. Our gaming group has grown to about 10 players, so we really needed to expand upon our playing surfaces. We have pretty much finished two tables (desert and what will be a jungle table), with two more on the way (city and brown grass).

The terrain is still a WIP for both tables, but will be very cool when finished I think.

I also entered a bastion painting contest at...

Tech Marine

feeds@yuku.com (Battle Brother John) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:01:49 GMT

The other day I played a 2 on 1 scenario with each side having 5000pts each, no apoc rules. So trying to make it to 5000pts was adventure in its self with 1 force org. I had a question about the tech marines and servitors. Can I equip the tech and the 4 servitors with a servo harness?

Another semi random picture: Mephiston

feeds@yuku.com (Erskib) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 17:50:59 GMT

So about this time last year, I commissioned a local 40ker to paint up my mephiston. Anyway, I never had a suitable backpack to mount to the already awesome model until somewhat recently. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original artist available to me to pain the backpack up so I did my best to do the miniature justice. Anyway, I am including the mephiston model along with the backpack I painted up. Let me know what you think:

Thoughts after my 1rst two games

feeds@yuku.com (IsawaShori) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 05:46:29 GMT

Well I have played two games now of 40K, My first game was a 1K point match against Chaos Space Marines; I got massacred. My second game was an allied game, 3K points per side. I was allied with Witchhunters and we battled Necrons and Space Orks. We got massacred; granted we had to...

Slow Traffic on Site

feeds@yuku.com (malllkav) — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:28:48 GMT

Greetings all,

I have noticed that our traffic has slowed way down. Why is this? Are people playing other armies? Frustrated with no new codex in foreseeable future? Playing Basic Marines with that new codex? I am just curious. I have played BA since 3rd Ed. and keep playing them despite rules changes. Having more fun with appoc. as opposed to regular 40k.

Another project I am working on: Whirlwind

feeds@yuku.com (Erskib) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:15:27 GMT

So at the risk of sounding all "Lookit me! Lookit me!" with my army pics, I have some pictures of my latest work: A WhirlWind

Here is what I have so far:

Veteran Robe Colors

feeds@yuku.com (Codicier Ignatius) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 07:04:43 GMT

Greetings Brothers,

I'm about half through painting my second VAS with jump packs, and I've started thinking about my next project. I picked up two of the Dark Angel upgrade sprues, giving me enough to make 20 robed marines plus all sorts of assorted weapons and accessories. It's a great deal. I've already green stuffed the swords into blood drops on all the parts I plan to use and assembled the first model, a new Librarian without a jump pack.
