While terrain continues to drive me mad – 2 weeks till the event and 2 tables worth of terrain to paint – I wanted to take a break and talk about the single greatest release for 30k players pretty much ever – Betrayal at Calth. To be clear, I am going to pretend the game … More Betrayal at Calth – the easiest way EVER to get into 30k
Warning – many pictures! With all my excitement around my Word Bearers of late I was inspired to organise a game with a fellow 30k enthusiast playing a Zone Mortalis table – featured here – but the problem was, none of it is ready for the table top. Thankfully, I have a force I prepared earlier – … More 30k Spotlight – The III Legion, Emperors Children
So despite Danger Rod not having his list sorted yet I had an epiphany today while cleaning the parts from an imperial sector box set of terrain (there are over 2 meters of walls in that box just FYI!) I had been trying to get a 1000 point legion list working for a couple of weeks … More 30k Word Bearers – 1000 point list now locked in!
Mhara Gal – the Tainted. A towering war machine twisted by the dark powers into a rampaging monster of flesh and iron with the corrupt soul of a daemon… how cool is that! Take that hell brutes! Here is the first of your kind… all 300+ points of him – but how does he fair on … More Horus Heresy – Word Bearers Mhara Gal Tainted Dreadnought – Spotlight
I find myself writing this while still agonising over a list for my word bearers – its probably been through some 20 rewrites now and I have just come back full circle to where I started. This led me to a realisation about 30k and list building in general…. Have a goal and stay on … More 30k Army building – what is your goal? Stay on target!
Zardu Layak – The Crimson Apostle, The Thrice Born, The Binder of Souls, The Voice of the Unspeaking. Many are the names of this dark warrior of the 17th legion. Though not as widely known as the dark apostle Erebus, Zardu Layak is a warrior whose name is a byword for infamy both on and off the table… … More Horus Heresy – Word Bearers Zardu Layak – Spotlight
Today has seen the announcement of a 30k event later this year and its got me even more motivated than I have been. Despite the fact I am running the biggest single player 40k event just 2 weeks after this event, my goal is to buy, build and paint an 1850 army or word bearers … More 30k Tournament – November 2015… let the planning begin!
My second Forge World order arrived today – I am making use of the lower free postage threshold while it lasts! – and I got my hands on my HQ of choice for the 17th legion – Zardu Layak! Once a devout believer in all that the Imperium stood for, at the Battle of Calth … More Horus Heresy Word Bearers – Zardu Layak and the Blade-slaves
After digging out the Primarch of the 17th Legion, I recalled that I picked up a couple of Primarchs other than Angron and Lorgar… and I am on a roll with Forge World models right now – its totally not that I don’t want to build this chaos terrain! So I cracked open the box! … More Horus Heresy Death Guard – Mortarion the Death Lord, Primarch of the 14th Legion

For now though – here is the Primarch of the 17th Legion I have had … More Horus Heresy Word Bearers – Lorgar Aurelian, Primarch of the 17th Legion
