Already tired of Space Clowns!

I know its in the fluff, but it's dumb. 

So I'm probably going to get hate for this , but please can we stop with the stupid space ninja clowns! The fan boy stuff is getting old and the grim dark is already filled with poor examples of how combat works ( HTH and trench warfare VS using your gun like Cypher ) in the future much less the present day. Now we have an entire army of acrobats flying on hover boards with V for vendetta masks, using weapons that sound like valentines presents ( look for the up coming armory additions filled with stuff like "the kissy face", smooch bomb, and the orbital bombardment of spooning ).  I can't wait to see the tyranids new dex of evolved furries that kill with cuteness.  And while we are on tyranids the entire fact that they got screwed in psyhic powers( limited to their table ) , but still suffer the warp etc is now beyond stupid when the eldar codex is talking about eldar gods.  Were the hell are these gods???  Another Warp, they are dead ( gods die??) ? And before you say it , I know the tyranids perils is to show synaptic feedback.  Really?  Its the same as a daemonic presents raping your skulls and soul?  hmm that's a bit of a stretch.  Shadows works for squat now as well.  Sorry for the rant :)

Mechanicum transport : Triaros Armoured Conveyer Budget Pattern

I'm slowly building more and more mechanicum models and painting.  The 40k universe is starting to wear on me and I feel like 30k is actually better.  So with that I'm keeping up my hobby progress limited for now to the Horus Heresy. I'm set on selling a 40k army soon, but have to determine what one.

Now for the Triaros Armored Conveyor I came up with since I'm not too down with paying >$100 per model.  The Forgeworld ones are awesome , but Damn!!!  I modeled these as close I could to the actual transport.  Heavy bolter reps the mauler bolt cannon. the 2 little sponsons are the volkite servitor chargers. The front of these really represent the AV14 IMHO. The blue glowing thing is the force shield which i think plays better to the rules as it states the blast are -1 to the front of the vehicle.  These are also big!  bigger than a land raider so I'm pretty comfortable fielding these as  comparable to the original vehicle. A little more detail work and they will be ready to take to the battlefield.

30K Mechanicum jet pack Magos

Went with "Kingdom of God" style faceplate

Newest Mechanicum Magos with Jet Pack and Chainfist.  He should sure up some weaknesses with a Thallax Cohort squad. 

Heresy Era Jump pack and Haywire Staff

Imperial Knight Shield Markers

So I wanted to way to display the shield facing for my knights and have some sort of hull point marker other than my wound counters.  Well enter Mechanical Warhorse. I picked up a bunch of these as they include side and front/rear shield markers and HP counters!!  A great value and I'm sure your opponent will appreciate not having to ask over and over facing directions.

Zup Bro! Questoris Knight Magaera and Radiation Base

So the Mechanicum has procured a new relic from the dark age of awesome. The Magaera knight!  Since this guy came out from FW I was "Must Have!!"

So the knight arrived Friday and I went to work.  I wanted to stick with my Mechanicus paint scheme the rest of my army sports.

First up is the base. I wanted a base that reflected a battle ( maybe hersey era) that radiation was very prevalent and extreme.  Most of my mechanicum army has Rad-cleanser so it was cool to have a base big enough to show Radiation Weapons.

Contemptor foot , Marine helmet and shell casings. radiation hot spot areas in green

So with the base done next the big guy himself!! I really enjoyed painting this model and assembly was straight forward.

Rad Cleanser on the claw 

I wanted it to look like the knight just irradiated the battlefield and on the prowl for enemy targets!

More knights arriving soon :)

Alt Tyranid models forsale

I am cleaning out some hobby stuff for the new year and stumbled upon these guys I had in the wings for quite some time.

I was going to use them for any little gribble that the bugs use especially to show a different bio-morph.  AKA poison etc Hormies or devil gaunts.


So I have 119 of these guys waiting for a good home( 4 boxes ). 1 is missing as I wanted to build at least 1 model when I got them ( will try and find him ).  If your interested drop me a line in the comments and we can work something out ( I'm willing to let these go cheap )

Magos Prime: Beast Mode

              Ima Firen Mah Lazor! 

The Magos Prime kitted out in 30k is a true beast. 2+, 3++ , 5+ FNP, T6!!!  I did a little kit bashing to make this bad ass a reality on the tabletop.  The mechdrites add so much to a plain looking model as well as the Rad Cleanser.  The new HH 4, conquest book is out as well and has some very neat Mechanicum relics. (I'm looking at you Scrapcode :) )

I'm also working on 3 huge models for my mech 30k army, but I want to get them all painted up before the big reveal!!! More to come this week!!!
