Planetstrike!

I like the launch pad. Not sure about the rest, but I suppose can take a better look at it when they have better images.

As for our upcoming "40k Revival!" Shall we just add all the games to the Warmaster League or will it be just WHFB and separate for 40k?

Some of the stuff I've got done in my 40k marines:

The Night Watch
================
The Night Watch patrol the breadth of Imperial space in their massive fleet, eschewing the need for a home planet. Picking the purest and best from all of the Imperium, their strength is in their incorruptibility. They are a quick response force to the various threats to the Imperium and can re-deploy with impunity because of their fleet. The Night Watch keeps a watchful eye on the baleful Eye of Terror. They have a long history of working with the Inquisitorial arm of the Imperium and the regular route of its main fleet so close to the Eye of Terror for most part of the Imperial year is no accident. The Ordo Mallus keeps a small but permanent garrison of Grey Knights within the hallowed halls of the Thunderhammer, the Chapter Master's Battle Barge, and the Night Watch is often accompanied by these veritable sons of the Emperor in their forays against their enemies.

Planet Strike

It looks cool.

Shall we put in $50 bucks each and just buy the terrain?

isS$50 enough?

Planetstrike!

Rumours abound for the new 40k expansion called planetstrike.

Apparently it won't have new miniatures, but will heavily feature new terrain and obviously the rule book.

Well, i'm not suggesting we tumble into Planetstrike, but if we're going to get involved in Cities of Death, the terrain pieces could be interesting...

Anyway, yeah, i'm getting quite hyped about cityfight. Any chance any of you have the rules?

My Orks are getting ready for a fight! Ooh... the thought of Stormboyz landing on rooftops is quite appealing...

Anyway, i leave you with some planetstrike pics i got off warseer...

Warmaster League Results

Hi Everyone,

Here are the results of the games last week... Sadly, Junx is at the bottom..

A New Hope...


The black, oily ripples pulled back as the gargantuan body of the great wyrm arose from the heavy mist. Two orange gleaming pinpricks searched the darkness and finally rested on the familiar cloaked figure waiting at the edge of the lake. Arven Dawnmoon stared up at the forest guardian for a long time before she spoke.

"Old friend, our need is dire. The darkness surrounds the forests and our people have fled before the dread host. Will you aid us?"

For what seemed like an eternity, the Forest Dragon kept silent, as if contemplating the strands of the future. Then, almost noiselessly, it lifted itself up from the waters and swooped down towards the small frame of the wood elf princess. At the last possible moment, Arven leapt up, impossibly high, and landed on the back of the ancient beast. Exhiliration filled her being as the the drake gathered momentum. Then, as one, they sped towards the fleeing elven bands, praying that they were not too late...

March of the eternal restless

War Journal of Prince Ithelien, Dragon lord and Commander of the Grey legions.

Year of our lord 2009, April 24

Thouht of the day: Faith is our strongest weapon.

A new evil walks the land. The dead have arisen, they walk among the lands of the living.
How do you kill men who are already dead?

They tore through our center like posessed demons, coming through the forest who we expected our forest cousins to hold. The left wing was required to undertake a defensive action to protect the centre whilst our heavy units on the right were forced to execute a tactical withdrawl.

The undead host had at their disposal a weapon of uncanny ability that seemed to draw the life-force from all those who dare look upon it. What manner of sorcery is this!

With our center shattered, the day was lost. Our forces were ordered to withdraw from the field. Our first taste of fighting ' those who cannot die' was a bitter one.

We are the Asur, the sons of the light. A new war is starting, it rests again on the shoulders of men and elves to resist this evil that looms.

The Rise of the Dead

Viktor Von Carstein strode onto the battlefield; focusing his willpower, he could feel the invisible waves of dark power swirl around him... and he could feel the little pinpricks of sentience as he raised his army... silently, his host of undead warriors gathered around him, animated by his dark powers.

* * * *
Ithilien sat atop his mighty moon dragon and surveyed the battlefield below him... pride filled him as he saw his warriors assemble on the plains below. Elves, resplendent in their glittering scale armour, were now forming up into their fighting ranks.

It's either here and now or never, he thought. The undead menace had to be stopped before it overwhelmed the Old World. Sweeping in wide arcs in the sky, he wondered... now where were our allies...

* * * *
Imotepmyshoulder and his undead horde had been pursuing the tomb raiders for weeks now, and now the raiders were in sight... the men of the Empire had taken some precious magical relics and the infidels needed to be punished. He was about to exact his final vengeance only to see an army of elves in his path...

Imotepmyshoulders, realised that he was outnumbered, and was already willing his troops to put up a final show of power when he felt the dark powers of the vampire... it was not an alliance he would have favoured... but the situation was dire...

* * * *
The Wood Elven army crept up stealthily line up alongside their high elven kin. Junxileth the Treeman and his happy dryads, detached themselves from the forest, scaring quite a few of the high elven folk... It won't do to have the undead to rampage freely across the old world... It was with some disdain that he felt that once again the elves would have to defend the weak race of Men..........

Game results: 24th April 2009

Well, the various warlords have raised their armies in their bid to be WARMASTER.
First off, was a fight between Dylan's High Elves and Junx's Dark Elves, with the High Elves emerging victorious...

And in the latter part of the day, we had a big fight...
It was the mighty undead host of the Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts facing off against the valiant Elven Alliance of Wood Elves and High Elves...
Suffice to say that it was a dark day for the Elves... (more fluff coming up)

So now the points for the title of Warmaster is as follows... (in alphabetical order... if you're wondering)...
Andy: Pts 3 Played 1
Dylan: Pts 3 Played 2
Jason: Pts 3 Played 1
Junx: Pts 0 Played 2

Blood will be spilt on the 24th...

Ye 24th of Aprille...
Yups, everyone, we'll be playing Warhammer! Woo hoo!
Looks like me and Junx are all taking a half day on Friday, so anyone else wanna join in?
Dylan suggested this date, so he better haul his butt over on that day too.
What armies are you guys bringing?
I think I'll be bringing my High Elves. As an added incentive, I will target to get the white lion chariot base done up (so white lions and base painted) by the 24th, so it won't be so fiddly this time...
To war, to war!

The Tomb Kings awaken... but for War or for Blood Bowl?


Are the Tomb Kings coming to War or for a Blood Bowl Game ?

How shall High Priest Emotapyourshoulders answer ?? Will his magic be able to raise enough Princes and Kings to the fore ??

Only time will Tell....

Let's get the Vox Caster fixed and going!

Hi guys,
I've decided to restart the voxcaster. It served us well before and i think it's time to inject some energy into our hobby, so i plan to paint more often and will post stuff on the blog to inspire all of us to keep going.
We can post any damn thing we want i guess. Even your kids pics if you so choose.
So without any further delay, I will only say....
Ere we go, Ere we go, Ere we go!!!!!!!!!!

Empire Triumphant

“On the thirteenth night, in the month of the Griffon, year twenty five of our Lord Karl Franz, Gurdan, Warrior Priest of Sigmar did recite ancient prayers of Righteousness and Protection before his hammer struck the ancient obelisk that was unearthed within the Village of Maarland by wicked cultists to summon forth the Great Daemon Kharnigar. With one big blow, the Priest did destroy the ancient obelisk and the troops of Talabecland roused to applaud their new leader, cheering and shouting as they held their weapons high.



The headless body of Marshall Guderian, Grand Templar of the Blood Knights of Sigmar was put to rest. Beside him, lay the body of Kapten Gaardel of the Reiksguard. As the funeral pyres were lit for all the bodies of men, the Blood Knights saluted the passing of their Grand Templar, and in their grief, they swore a new 100 year crusade against the forces of Khorne, in rememberance of their Grand Master.



From that fire, the soldiers of our Great Lord Emporer and Sigmar, did use to light torches that were then used to cleanse the village of Maarland from its taint of Chaos. As the village burned and smoke rose into the twilight sky, Gurdan knelt in prayer and so did all the troops of Talabec that were now under his charge. Sigmar protect us.”





From the depths of Hell

And folly of man

It was summoned

Kharnigar, Big red

Slayer of Kings

Curse of War



In rage it bellowed

Lesser men cowered

None bar one dared step

Into His maw

Guderian, Grand Templar

Blood Knight of Sigmar



Kharnigar, Curse of War

Fangs A’Drip

Axe and Sword of Khorne

Swifter than shadows

None bar one dared step

Man of men



May his immortal soul forever be in the Hall of Heroes



- From the 450th Lamentation of the Blood Knights

Empire in Flames....

The Empire book is out!!!!

I've my hands on it for a week now.. and I must say... the flagellant army led by a steam tank cum all sorts of daft contraptions like Hell blaster and Rocket Batteries with Mechanical Horses look extremly likely at the moment.

Absolutely disgusting to say the least, but let's wait and see ... I can't wait to hunt me some Outriders (or should I say get hunted down by>??)

Google Calendar

Hi all,

I've invited everyone to gmail in a bid to better synchronise playing time... Google has this new thing called Google Calendars and I thought that it'd be good if we could update and maintain a sort of Calendar online so that we can better arrange our playing time together ...

Night Gobbos!!!!

I've succumbed to the seductive powers of Gork and Mork.
Thanks to a timely trade with Kenneth, I got my paws on the Skull Pass Night Goblins!
40 Spears, 20 Archers and 10 Spider Riders are awesome to flesh out my force!
I need stuff here and there, but should take too long or cost too much!

WAAAGH!
