Magnetise your Knight Titan

I was so looking forwards to having a brand new toybox when I learned how easy magnets were. I imagined every tank having a host of swappable bits that would give my armies a new lease of life..

In truth; 

pfffffttttssplaaateeek....

Magnets. They are useful. They are also pain in the arse to use constantly. 

General observation? YOU WILL NOT USE THEM AS MUCH AS YOU THINK YOU WILL.
I realised that I barely used any of the magnetised troops that I went to the effort of creating. Most of the people I've given alternative loadouts I instead simply use their stock load out, or stick them with blu-tac.

Sons of Sek 1 Year and 7 months in; group shots

We Serve the Anarch whose voice drowns out all others! Early Group shots first.

  

Then this is a healthy 2400-odd point painted selection of the Sons so far.

Getting the Commander finished does definitely help unify them all, moody shots will be soon too.

For now, as I've not said it often enough, bring on the extra stuff to complete.

Thanks for reading!

40,000 Apocalyptic commitments needed

We tried our first large-scale game a couple of months back, where we tried out the Apocalypse ruleset with 7th Edition. To celebrate we tried a 40,000 point game. Here follows a breakdown of the our first experiences with the system of Apocalypse, 7th Edition, and the weekend setup.

Being championed by my good friend Bave, who managed the entire planning of the thing we set a date, and started checking how many points those invited collectively had, and how much we could field, to see what would be worth trying out. After bandying about for several days for sizes, we went for a game that would be 20,000 points a side. 

Ambitious, epic, awesome, but possibly a case of eyes being bigger than stomach!

Cutting that grey tsunami however you like!

My scalpel has not made friends with my minis. I can 100% confirm that in my one and a half years of 40k there isn't a single model that I haven't taken my knife to in some way. 

And I don't mean just mould line shaving, I mean cut cut. (insert questionable prison metaphor here)

Being a cliché, and 'Find the Cyclops'

Well I have been busy.

So apart from this Renegade Hellhammer beastie (more on him later) in the last month, I've got my house sold and looked at 18 separate houses to then buy afterwards (only 2 had a dedicated study, but hey ho) I've enjoyed a lovely holiday with friends, was best man at an awesome German wedding for my good man Den, had a birthday, and finally had an enormous game of Apocalypse, all with a pregnant wife and little spare time at all.

So I apologise for the delay, Den let me know the delay was unacceptable. Sorry Den.
