Order of the Valorous Heart inbound

 

So I was talking to my friend Entropmancer last night and told him my GF was working one Saturday in June. So we are setting up a game of 40K at 1750 pts. I have not played 9th edition yet and outside of my Raptors in 8th Ed, Grey Knights in Kill Team, I really have not played 40K at all in a while. At 1750 I was warned of necrons with a monolith. That’s just too many bodies and such a big thing that my Grey Knights can’t probably deal with. 

Enter my Adepta Sororitas of Order of the Valorous Heart. Most of them are unbuilt and have to pick up a few things...pretty quickly to get them built and at least started painted in the month I have. 

 

Organ Missile launcher tank purchased!

 So with Piety and Pain purchased, I went looking for  some of the other models I'm missing. I started watching an New Exorcist on ebay and then received an offer on it so I had to jump on it. 

So down to another box of Seraphim needed, 2 rhinos, and 2 Boxes of Penitent Engines and I'll have all the releases. Except Arco Flagellants which I have 6 that should be good. 

So with the idea of the army coming together I need to start breaking down my builds to ensure I have enough parts. 

Currently I have

-2 Army box Canonesses

-Canoness 

-Palatine

-St. Celestine and Gemanie Superior

-Imagifier

-Dialogus

-Hospitaller

-Repentia squad

-2 Army Box Repentia (making one squad of 8)

-Daemonifuge

-2 Army Box Arco Flagellants

-2 Army Box Battle Sister squads

-4 Battle Sister squads

-Seraphim squad

-2 Army Box Seraphim squad

-2 Retributor 

-2 Army Box Penitent Engines

-Immolator

Ideally I will build my normal rod of grace Canoness, Palatine, Imagifier, Hospitaller, Army Box Repentia and Superior, 3 10 member Battle Sister squads, 7 seraphim, 6 Retributors. then the rest filling out points. 

I believe I will be switching to this method of painting my Sisters. I'm trying to set goal of getting a game on 06/12 so one month away. Not sure if it will be Sisters or Grey Knights we shall see

Squeeeeee

So excited.... So yesterday while trolling facebook I saw a local 40k member selling something and jumped on it. 

That's right I scored a sealed Piety and Pain for a decent price and not ebay scalper price. More Wyches, another Venom, Scourges, and Lelith For my Cult of Strife. More Retributors, an immolator and a Palatine for my Order of theValorous Heart.

As an added bonus I was able to pick it up on my way home last night as I was going to have to detour anyways due to emergency on my normal path home. 

Manic Monday # 27

So Warhammer Fest is now completed and Warhammer Community has posted the 9 Biggest Reveals from it.

With Age of Sigmar getting an update, me building ann AoS army is on hold. But lets talk about the biggest  things that were revealed  for 40k.

Magic and Fire box set. It appears to be pitting Thousand Sons and Grey Knights against each other. New Exalted Sorcerer and Castellan Crowe models teased too. 

My guess on the box is:

GKs:
Crowe (new model)
5 strike marines
NDK

Tzeentch:
Sorcerer (new model)
10 tzangors
vehicle/ daemon
something else

Gaunt's Ghosts.....Oh damn, super nice sculpts, great looking models and in plastic. I may have to get them. And will there be more models released later for an All Tanith army. 

I dislike the look of the Paragon War Suits but this one is nice.  

Morvenn Vahl is more than just a leader of the Battle Sisters – as a High Lord of Terra and supreme commander of all Adepta Sororitas forces in the galaxy, her authority is unquestioned even while the fiery zeal of a devout warrior courses through her veins. It’s no wonder then that the young Abbess is more often found amidst the front lines than behind a meeting room desk.

High Abbess and commander of all Adepta Sororitas Forces......yes please

Plastic Thunderhawk.......for Aeronautic Imperialis 

I am gettign this box set. and Probably 3 Thunderhawks. One for My Raptors, One For my Grey Knights, and One for the starter.....Which I will probably paint into Emperor's Children cause why not. 

Daemons.........

 So other day I went to my FLGS Imperial Outpost to see what caught my eye. I had already purchased my night haunt spirit hosts for objective counters and have an idea in my head for my Grand Master Wilhelm De Sonnac of the 7th Brotherhood. 

The base model will be Voldus but I am  changing out the Hammer for a Halberd and so other minor things too. I already have a body started (of the 3 Voldus models I have) and have removed the "tactical Rock" from under his hammer and foot. 😒

As a replacement for said "Tactical Rock" I am going with roasted mutant/ Daemon from the Sisters of Battel box set. 

And hopefully I can have the halberd in the model. I want to change the pose of his stormbolter arm too, but we will have to see on that one. 

With the burnt Mutant/ Daemon on his base Grand Master De Sonnac is going to need a more specialized base. 

So with that in mind I hunted down Vince Venturella's Hobby Cheating Episode # 94 "How to make Urban Bases" on YouTube. for some ideas. I want to elevate him so he is more imposing and possibly mount him on a 50mm base.

Remember I said I want to my  FLGS  to see what caught my eye. More Basing material. 

Daemons to put on bases. I need to pick up poxwalkers, other daemons, and cultist but I like where this is headed so far. 

And as a final thought

Fire and Magic teaser.

Project idea

 So one of the things Entropmancer and I are trying to do with our group is having Objective Counters for each army.  

My Raptors 10th Company/ Scout Company are using the Terminator Teleport Beacons as a relay station.

 

My Mortifactors 3rd Company will be using Skulls from Ebay seller JesusGold7 as seen below

My Order of the Valorous Heart Adepta Sororitas I currently have no clue. 

My 7th Brotherhood of Grey Knights I have been thinking of using spare bits and different things but it does not feel right. I started looking at other models in the GW range focusing on models on 40mm or larger bases. then I saw the Night Haunt Spirit Host models. 3 Models not badly priced and on 50 MM bases.

So the goal is to remove weapons and paint them up as Undivided Daemons coming through a warp breech. Which means they will work for my Exorcists too. 

Warhammer Fest day 2 Reveals.....

 So today was Day 2 of the Warhammer Fest Twitch feed. Honestly it was a little boring but they did reveal some intresting models. A Lot of them were previously revealed but the High Abbess Special Character is new. And I like the Sacresants variant loadout over the halbreds
