Finishing a squad leaves a really satisfying feeling.That's why I am really glad that today I finished the 3rd Tactical Squad for my Salamanders. I payed some extra attention to the basing work, especially to these last models. Now, I only need to finish some details for the Tau army I m going to take to the sunday's tournament and then I will turn my attention to my Dwarfs.Take care every one!
I wasn't able to resist. Along with the new Dark Angels Codex I purchased a Nephilim Jetfighter. Not the best looking flyer model in the grim 40K universe, not even the best flyer to play with. It's expensive and outclassed compared to the Vendetta Gunship and outgunned compared to the StormRaven Gunship, but still, it is a Dark Angels model so I coudn't resist the urge to claim it for my Dark Angel collection.
As I grew tired from the Tau, Dark Angels and Salamanders project, I painted this awesome model. Armed with twin linked auto cannons and instant killing some screamers, this model will surely see a lot of Daemon-busting action in near future. Soon, Mr. Laskulas you will feel the purifying lights of the Emperor's guns.
With the Tournament in just two weeks away I finished the second Devilfish. I bought it from a friend and it was in a really bad condition. It took me the best part of the day just to tear it apart, clean up all the glue, file and correct all the imperfections and then to glue it back again. Painting it was difficult too, so I used more black colour to cover up all the flaws. Nevertheless, the model is now ready for battle.
waiting the Dark Angels Codex I painted those 3 Death Company Assault Marines. Recent play-testing proved that the Storm Ravens can’t always deliver their deadly cargo into the enemy lines. I played with two storm ravens with 8 Death Company Astartes in each of them and also, a third Death Company Squad led by Astorath The Grim. Unfortunately, a lucky shot blew my flyer off the table and with it 2/5 of my roster. On the other hand, the death company squad led by Astorath brought untold carnage, so I changed my roster to 3 Death Company Squads Astorath, Lemartes and one more Chaplain, all of them with Jump packs. Hehe I can’t spell Slaughter without laughter.
I just finished the first Devilfish for my Tau army. This model used to fill up my ''failed project'' box but now it can take a place in my collection and more important in my roster. Now I only need one more Devilfish (is already WiP) 4 pathfinders and some shield drones.
The tactical squad is already halfway finished. Two more bolters and a flamer are joining my Drop Pod Army List. Now I only need 3 more bolters and a Combi Flamer armed Sergeant left to finish. Well, of course I have to finish the Devilfish I am painting and three Panther Tanks for my Flames of War army.Well lot of work.
I decided that in the upcoming tournament I will participate with my Tau. I am a few unpainted models short, so all my efforts go to completing my army list. So, here is another squad of Fire warriors, rising my total number of 24 and now I am only 5 models short. Also I will need 2 devilfish APCs and 4 Pathfinders. Lucky for me still have a month till the Tournament.
Greetings everyone and Happy new Year! More Dark Angels! This chapter is ideal to restore old models from old failed projects. Models that I was an inch from throwing away are becoming one of my best projects yet. I still own a large number of models so I decided that few of them will become the third Tactical Squad. Here are the first 3 models.
