Tournament Report: Vigilus Exterminatus - 1,500 Point RTT

Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending a small tournament at Mishap Games, a store I have been wanting to visit since it opened several years ago. We would be using 1,500 point armies and some Games Workshop based missions for the three rounds. I opted to bring my Blood Angels without Knight support. I also brought some Tyranids for the TO to use as a ringer army since there was going to be 7 players otherwise.

Facing The Grey Tide Podcast - Episode 43: Ben Cromwell Jumps In

What is up Everyone? This week on the Podcast, the boys welcome back Ben Cromwell.  Ben is an awesome painter who is helping Evan with the FTGT Painting service, but he joins us to talk about the Iron Halo GT.  This is an ITC Major Event in Barlesville, OK.  He also talks to us about his thoughts on Deathwatch and the Necron FAQ.  He also drops his ideas about Eldar and what he is planning to run at the Iron Halo GT.  We are excited to talk to him, get the updates from Ron and Evan about their lists for NOVA, and Bryan and Chandler are still working towards their individual tournaments coming up in the fall.

Ben joins us for fun, shenanigans, and to talk about a cool tournament for a great cause.

Commission Showcase: Deathwatch Marines

I just finished up Phil's Deathwatch Marines to a display quality. These are some amazing detailed and characterful models. Plenty of images below. One thing I need to work on is taking better pictures. A lot of these aren't as clean or as focused as I'd like. Nonetheless, enjoy.

Genestealer Cult: Early List Building - 1,850

With the release last weekend of Deathwatch: Overkill, and the leak of the 40k rules for the Genestealer Cult (and subsequent publication by GW online), I went ahead and did some early list building, adding in Tyranids to complete the army.

Inquisition and Deathwatch on the Horizon

With Inquisition rumors upon us, I figured it was time to dive in to a little side topic I am extremely interested in. As an avid Space Wolf player, I can’t help but love the idea of individualism within a deadly pack. The idea of Brother fighting alongside Brother with each one decked out in Pelts, Charms, and Totems that tell his Saga, his Legacy, his Life. It is the reason I have been slow in painting my Wolves. I wish them to be uniform in only their loyalty, not in the way they are armed, painted (outside of the standard Space Wolves Grey for their base layer), and how they tell my story.  It is also why even my vehicles are painted in the manner they are. The Story is sometimes far greater than the Victory. That is why the Deathwatch (who I hope are in the new codex) is awesome to me.
