Lavuran/Mordian Heavy Weapons Team

This is another model that's been half completed, and sitting in the hobby room for ages - I think I started it about 9-10 years ago, and has been constantly getting knocked and broken. Looking back, I posted it in 2017 as a WIP, but even then said it had been done years earlier. Anyway, after a super quick repair and paintjob on the loader, it's done and in the figure cabinet for the time I actually work on my Lavuran Guard Regiment of the Astra Militarum.

Blood Slaughterer Impaler finished

This has been hanging around my desk for months, and constantly breaking! It's been pinned more times than a donkey's tail, and the face has had to be reconstructed as the original got broken, so I wanted it painted, based and in the Detolf! Rather than go with the bright red of my other Khornate units, I went with the same scheme as on my Reaver titan - I'm hoping if Dark Mech come out, then this is the scheme I'll use. It's a Legio Mortis and Sons of Horus Justaerin/Reaver relatable scheme so it will also get some cross army usage I hope.

Sons of Horus For Rakallian Wars

I promised update on why I was painting more Sons of Horus, well in a few hours I'll be off to a Rakallian Wars event in Salisbury. I've never done one of these before, but I've heard good things, and these guys even give a mini for attending, who has special rules and can be used at the event itself! The mini is an Imperial Army type chap who joins one of your units - pretty cool eh? The figure itself was 3d printed (or printed and cast, but it's a nice figure anyway). I've included mine below. The 2 Reavers are the last pair from the squad I started last year, and the Mk.6 Tac squad were from E-bay. I had to add a few bits, do repairs and I painted the bases to match my army but I got the edge colour wrong for the colour I'm now using - oh well!

Sons of Horus Lupercal Tank

It's been almost a year since I started printed the Lupercal tanks I only shared photos once I had them mostly assembled, so I thought I should get some paint on at least one of them. Since I've off for my second game of v2 Heresy next weekend at an event (more details of that later) I thought I should do the SoH one since that's the army I'm using.





After this week, things will go back to quiet mode most likely. Since some point in the latter half of last year, I've not pretty much stopping gaming - I tried 9th ed Crusade and one game of HHv2 plus the Cold War Commanders event but apart from that not much. On top of that, we've now accepted an offer on out house, and have made an offer on a smallholding - so things are likely to be crazy busy for a few months.
