On the Bench: Fire Warriors

Thirty Fire Warriors done. Plus the Cadre Fireblade.

I kept the paint scheme simple and clean for the infantry, no camouflage. Twenty of the Fire Warriors are repaints, along with two missile turrets I got off of Ebay to complete the squads. Not pictured are six drones for all squads.

Next up is a squad of Pathfinders. Then the many suits. Which do have a splinter camouflage on them. Should be fun.

Looks Much Better With Matching Uniforms

Freeblades vs. Dread Mob

 

A favorite matchup returns! Not that I have been able to beat a Knight list with my Orks...yet.

A 100 PR battle, for a change of pace I brought in a The SquiqHog (a Smasha jet proxy), mostly because I like the cut of its jib.

And it did deliver some much needed anti-tank hurt on the Knights.

Due to my camera still deciding not to focus most of the time, I do not have enough pics to give this battle justice.

The new and improved Orks have a crazy amount of rockets these days. The Brave and Noble Killa Kans did a lot of damage, right before they were swept from the field. 

The two battlelines clashed and many Dread and Knight were laid waste.

On my right flank the Mega Dread felled the Knight Valiant, but was destroyed in the following reactor explosion.

The SquigHog has received very little damage up to this point, but was at the end of the table and had to depart the field.

Over on the left flank, only my Gorkanought and a Knight Errant were left

I had a terrible turn of shooting followed by a pretty-good-but-not-enough round of melee. The Errant had three wounds left! Then its chainblade cleft the Gorkanought in twain. No explosion, I even used a re-roll. 

With the SquidHog off the table for the turn, there were no Orks left, and Victory goes to the Freeblades. By three hit points. Sigh.

It was a fun, fast paced battle. I'll get them next time!

Avatar III: The Embigging

A long wait, but worth it. The new and vastly improved Eldar, Space Elf, Aeldari Avatar of Khaine has arrived. Just a bit bigger than the older Metal version, and more filled out than the (also old) Forge World ones. 

Three head, and three weapon options give the kit a bit of customization. I have wanted a Spear Form Wailing Doom since the 1st lead version way back. 

Yes, he is on a 25mm base. He was still growing! It's nice to finally have a Avatar of suitable size to match his stat line. Which is even more god-like than before.

Now to get it painted and on the table!

April Fools?

 

That is a very well made April's Fools gag...unless it isn't! Which it is. Probably. 

UPDATE: By the Emperor's Fancy Drinking Horn! They are real!
