I need to get me some more of those......LIKE NOW

 So Khymara round one Tourney is almost done....we need a playoff between the Nids and the Guard players to see who swings the momentum in which sides favor.  Both Players went 3-0. 3rd went to our Death Guard player only loss was against the Nid player in a close game. 2 players (Thousand Sons and Tau) went 1-1-1 due to school, I went 1-2, and 2 players went 0-3 (Ravenguard and Genestealer Cult). All in all fun times. Beast of the Games was Vulture III my Predator Destructor. 8 wounds on the Thousand Sons Heldrake first turn and only turn of that game. It put the fear in the Deathguard Player in another close fought game for him.  Pounded the Guard for 5 straight turns while shrugging off hits. Owl I (Rifleman Pattern Dreadnought) was a close second. I am adding Owl II (same load out as Owl I) and Vulture II to the next list.....after I build them and some new toys to go with them the rest of the army.


I think I'll drop the Chaplain (he did ok, just not great), Melee Scouts, and Shotgun Scouts for a LT, more bolter scouts, and more sniper scouts. With the extra points (After Vulture II and OWL II), Ill add a Sternguard squad for more shooty death.

So the list would look like this:

Captain- Primarch's Wraith, Power Sword
LT- Master Crafted Bolter, Power Axe

Sternguard Squad- Vet Sgt Power Sword.
Rifleman Dread
Rifleman Dread

Scout Squad I- Bolters, Heavy Bolter Camo Cloaks
Scout Squad IV- Bolters Missile Launcher Camo Cloaks
Scout Squad V- Bolters Missile Launcher Camo Cloaks
Scout Squad VII- Sniper Rifles Heavy Bolter Camo Cloaks
Scout Squad IX- Sniper Rifles Heavy Bolter Camo Cloaks
Scout Squad X- Bolters Missile Launcher Camo cloaks

Scout bike Squad- 2 Grenade launchers and Veteran Sgt with Power maul

Predator Destructor- Heavy Bolters and stormbolter
Predator Destructor- Heavy Bolters and stormbolter.

New Painting challenge coming soon

   So the Hidden Hands of the Emperor ETL is coming up just under 4 weeks. After participating in the Talon's Reach Armory building event (which I had a lot of fun in), I have decided it is almost time to bust out the brush in get cracking on the my 10th company Raptors again. I have some models to build in preparation for the ETL and still need to finish my uncompleted vow of 2 Land Speeder Typhoons and the rest of the Members of squad Helios (neither are eligible as they are more than base coated).  I am hoping I can build the models to set vows and finish the 2 typhoons and the other 4 members of squad Helios. 

Hopefully after the ETL, I will get enough built by Sept 15th to have a decent sized playable army. I am tossing around some ideas of what to build and paint. I want to try to get 2 HQs, my 4 troops, a fast attack, a heavy, an elite choice and a flyer done for this. I am thinking about increasing 2 squads to 10 men (Squad Helios and Squad Archlift both armed with bolters and missile launchers). as running 5 5 man squads seems a little weak to me. 

so far the list is actually like I want to do is this

Captain Voss
Epistolary Borak (maybe)

Talon Strike team (sternguard)

my 4 scout squads (Felk, Tomez, Archlift and Venze)

1 land speeder storm

3 tempest

Stormhawk

Predator 

I would need to build the storm, stormhawk, sternguard, tempests, and the predator and get them undercoated to hacve them ready by June 15th. My worry is the predator "Vulture I".....it will be a huge challenge but not as bad as 'Vulture II" will be. 


Stay tuned 

There is only the Emperor

Vulture III Completed & OWL I WIP

WIP Dreadnought OWL I - for Talon's Reach Armory building Vow #2

Vow Taken: 02/25/2017 

Vow Completed: 

Elapsed time-

I was going to call it a night for painting and well it was raining and I continued working on it

Needs decals, basing, weathering and clear coat

There is only the Emperor!

Predator Vulture 1 update and whats coming down the pipline

Predator Vulture update

Just about done with my Predator Destructor and 48 days to go. It just needs: clear coats, decals, camo netting, and the hedgerow cutter needs a mount built and to be painted. 

 

[

 As you can see the tank is almost playable minus the clear coat .

 Thinking about the rest of the squadron I may go with a a sandbag tank as Tank I

and a Hessain as tank II

and this one will end up as tank III....still undecided.

I decided that once this one is completed my next Talon's Reach  vow will be my rifleman dreadnought. 

Sadly it not much conversion work on it, but that gives me 2 vehicles done of the many for this army. 

Still in debate on the Fire Raptor if it will stay in my Raptors or go to my 30k Emperors' Children. 

Whats Coming down the Pipeline

I am planning on adding 3 Landspeeder Tempests, 3 Thunderfire cannons, and 3 each of the Lascannon, Heavy bolter, and Missile defense system tarantulas. Also I am going to add a Damocles Command Rhino. The Command Rhino's radar dish will be interchangeable with the 3rd missile system.

 Also adding a "Telion" model to run one of the squads (for kill team/ 9 scout squad) I may build him as is minus the head so he can carry nihlius. Also I really want to work on my MKIV camo Sternguard Kill team using the Raptors, my objective counters, and my scout squad Kill team. I still need to paint the rest of my 10th Co models and build the landspeeder Typhoons and Storms.

THERE IS ONLY THE EMPEROR!

Predator Vulture I

Over the last few days I was able to get more work done on my 10th Company Raptors Predator Destructor Designated "Vulture I"

 

_

Sandbags, tarps, bags, other stowage painted browns and given a wash to highlight. Black applied for black areas and metallic areas. 

Still a long ways from completion but its getting closer and I'm only 6 days in to my vow so far....Yeah Baby.....56 more days to go. I may be able to complete a second vow by then but not sure what armor vehicle I'd do. Dreadnought is primed so that is the most logical choice, but I have another predator, Land Speeder Storm, and Land Speeder Tornado I could do....but they are unbuilt.... Decisions Decisions 

hope you enjoy
