Damn you Forge World!! And an update

I can now categorically state that I hate Forge World. This is because the sole thing preventing me from buying most of my army was the lack of the updated armour sets which if you check FW, you will find have now been put up for order. I'm now stuck between ordering most of the army now, and being happy but having no money; or not ordering the kits, having to resist temptation for two weeks until I get paid (which will never work) but having money for AC3 and various family occasions.
It's basically a forgone conclusion that my resistance will cave in over the next few days, if not sooner so which that in mind, by the beginning of November or whenever FW ships the stuff i'll have everything in my 2000 list minus the chaplain, assault marines, rhino and predator. So that'll be a nice second order at some point. Hopefully my 2nd ed land speeders will arrive in the next few days so i can work on them, depending on what they require.

Anyway, the army so far, might as well put up a few images of the models for your view.

 Zso Sahaal. If you can't tell, he's crouching down like he's hunting something. An old piece of mine, he's probably about 5 or so years old minimum, all he needs now is his skull faced bolter, whenever i work out how to best do it. He spent most of our game yesterday in reserve with the assault squad before slicing apart a Tomb Stalker with some help in two rounds and then going after Trazyn and his lychguard. Had the game continued for another turn, who knows how Trazyn would have looked? It didn't look good for him...

 Legion Rapier. Yes, it is partially blu-tacked together but only the crew to the base etc. Once I order the next load of bases off of Secret Weapon, it will get a proper base in the same style as the rest of the army. And yes, it is on a 60mm base, all of them will be. I'm pretty pleased with this 55 point beauty after our game yesterday, it killed a Monolith in 2 turns by hull pointing it to death, not quite as good as i'd have hoped but for a first game, it's impressive none the less.

Atramentar squad. Pretty self-explanatory really loadout wise. Two games played with them, they butchered the orks in the first one, and died like bitches to the Necrons yesterday, but a C'tan will do that to you. One of two squads i'll have eventually, the other will be identical apart from a heavy flamer instead of the autocannon.

Atramentar sergeant and the army test model, kinda. If you're bothered, it's a Kantor Blue base, Nuln Oil wash and then Kantor Blue again. No doubt there'll be more done to the blue and the lightning bolts whenever I continue painting him. Also, he's a Terran hence the more 'warm' skin tone, the Nostramon legion members will be a very pale bunch, just as they should be.


And finally, the first half of a legion tactical squad. They've got all the upgrades, sergeant at the front (helm crest marking him as a Terran) with a legion vexillia to his left and a nuncio-vox at the back. I plan to follow the same as i did with the 40k marines, being that every man will have pouches, grenades, combat blades, pistols, etc or a mixture of them. It just make them more realistic in my book.

In case any of you wonder "Where are all the skulls?", all I will say is they're coming... The point I have set the army at, most of the legion hasn't begun the decent into madness, only those closest to Curze and his 'sanity'.

C+C always welcome.



Seriously, someone comment on something, just so we know people are actually reading any of this.
