Warsmith's Words: Magic Trev the Sorcerer

 Greetings fellow Warsmiths! A very quick update to share a picture of the latest addition to the Iron Warriors. This is Magic Trev the Chaos Sorcerer.

In my head I was working up some cool fluff for this model; he just needed a name. The supportive caring nature of my friends came through once again as Neil immediately christened him Magical Trevor. Who apparently is a thing and has his own song. Who knew? I didn't; clearly I am too old.

So Magic Trev is bitter as befits all Iron Warriors, but mainly because he knows he's really good at magic but the other Iron Warriors don't care. They are much more interested in siege-things and big guns.

So look out for Magic Trev coming to a tabletop near you!

Warsmith's Words: Traitor Guard

 Welcome back to the Vault! I've had a miserable snotty cold over the last few days so I've hunkered down in the Vault and finished off a couple of projects I've had on the go for a while. 

There's a Traitor Guard Squad plus Enforcer and Ogryn Brute to lead them. And a particularly scuffed up transport to shuttle them around the battlefield.

Warsmith's Words: Iron Warriors Predator

 Welcome back to the Vault! It's been a long time since I last posted; I have to confess I've lost the passion for blogging, but I can't quite bring myself to admit the Vault is done. My friend Pete has been successfully blogging with a series of shorter (LOL) Leagues of Votann posts and I thought I might try this format for a while.

I have continued painting and playing 40K in the mean time (as well as some D&D) and I've recently completed a trio of Chaos Predator Destructors.

Recent painting efforts

 Welcome back to the Vault. It's been quiet here, but the hobby machine keeps on running. I thought I'd post a quick update with some of the recently finished models.

First up is the most recent project; a Chaos Knight all ready to support the Iron Warriors at a Highlander event next month.

Alongside 12(!) War Dogs (I've also painted two more Stalkers since the last post) this brings the Knights project to well over 2000 points.

Chaos War Dogs

 Welcome back to the Vault! My gaming partner and I had a fun day at the Meme Team doubles last weekend, placing mid-table results wise. My eye is now looking towards Mayhem, and pondering what to take to this 1500 points singles event.

A strong contender is my most recently finished project; a Chaos Knights force composed entirely of War Dogs! I started this last year with the intention of a few models I could ally into either my Death Guard or Iron Warriors, but it's taken on a life of it's own.

This project was tackled as something of a speed painting project; minimal colour choices applied as simple base colours and zero shading/highlighting. I'm quite please with the result and the army can easily be evolved to the "next level" if I want to add more details, etc.

Time for the potato-cam pics! First up is the Stalker Warlord:

Warsmith's Words: Exalted Champion

 Welcome back to the Vault! I am playing in another doubles tournament next weekend hosted by the legendary GR Meme Team. This time I'm taking the Iron Warriors alongside my partners Traitor Guard, so a very thematic pairing!

I'm running a Legionnaire heavy list backed up with some tanks and transports. For my Warlord I'm trying out an Exalted Champion as he gives out some tasty buffs to his unit for both shooting and melee. 

I've kitbashed my Champion from a Chosen with some Havoc and Warpsmith bits and I'm pretty pleased with the results. His little plasma gun counts as his combi-weapon and the choppy axes count as his exalted weapon. I hope he's suitably effective on the tabletop!

Golden Gaming: Adeptus Custodes ready for battle

Welcome back to the Vault! Next weekend is First Founding's Doubles tournament and I will be attending with my shiny Golden Boys aka The Adeptus Custodes.

Work has been hectic this month but I have managed to find the time to finish up this small but lethal force. Let's have a look at the list!
