Today’s Picture: Dark Angel Thunderhawk

If you haven’t had a chance to see the Dark Angels display at Warhammer World, time is running out. There is a lot of art work, the studios models and two cabinets filled with Dark Angels painted by Owen and Brian Anderson. I’ll be posting more from the display in the future  but if you want to see it in person you have about 7 days left.

I thought I’d start with the biggest model in the display. A Forged World Thunderhawk painted in Dark Angels colours.

News: ABADDON AND LOKEN RELEASED!

It was previewed at Games Day. Almost 6 months later Simon Eagle has finished his sculpts and his master pieces have been painted

Loken is a true hero, not only did he renounce his own traitor legion to side with the Emperor, but he picked a fight with Abaddon. Armed with only a chain sword and bolt pistol. Some might call it brave, others might say stupid. You can now own this climatic piece of the Horus Heresy for £55, which can also serve as 2 separate models and some battle field scenery.

Pictures: Marneus Calgar (work in progress)

ChapterMasters.com is getting closer to having a ChapterMaster. Here of some photo’s of the Metal Calgar model I’ve been repainting. I found this model on ebay with a basic paint job and thought I could give it some love. Unfortunately I didn’t spot the missing sword so may end up selling it and buying another one.

I’ve tried some false reflections on the armour. The golds and cape are not finished.

News: FaQ updates for flyers, inc Space Marine Storm Raven

10112012080Games Workshop have released FaQ updates for most codex’s and the main rule set this weekend.

Codex’s updated: Blood Angels, Dark Eldar, Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, Necrons, Orks, Space Marines.

Not only does this confirm access to the Storm Raven for the Ultramarines, but updates the flyer rules across 6th edition.

News: New 40k Flyer Compendium – Death From The Skys

 It’s officially here, in an almost surprising, but completely unheard of move. Games workshop have dropped a new compendium and a stack of flyer bundles on to the website for direct order only.

Most of the bundles consist of sets of 2 or 3 flyers for each race, these bundles cost between £55 and £90 GBP each. The Space marines get an extra bundle with a Storm Raven Dreadnought and Tactical Squad for £101. Imperial Guard only get one bundle consisting of 2 Valkyries and 2 Storm Trooper squads priced at £133.

The GW website states there are “new bestiary and army list entries for the following codexes: Black Templars, Blood Angels, Dark Eldar, Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, Necrons, Orks and Space Marines”

For now we can only wonder what the changes will be for the codex’s which already have the units listed, such as the Storm Raven in the Grey Knights codex, storm talons perhaps?

Death from the skys is only available in English. Death from the skys is not limited edition.

Let the dakka dakka continue.
