Black Legion - WIP but parked for now

I have a friend visiting from Germany for Apocalypticon, and due to baggage limits can't bring his army. I've therefore offer to lend him my Black Legion, with some Sons of Horus first company vehicles to make up the points. They are black and gold too right? Whilst looking at the options for the squads now, I found my 5th edition marines were now illegal - 2 melta guns, totally heretical! Therefore I temporarily solved this by splitting my 2x10 squads into 4x5. Now the sane approach would be to replace the guns or the guys and live with the 2 spare marines, but I'm not sane. I therefore printed a load of bits, raided my CSM spares pile and now have equivalent of 4 squads. The plan will be to swap the extra melta guns from the existing marines for 2 of the heavy weapons shown below to have 4 full squads. The Long War continues.





Backpacks are off for painting.

World Eaters - next year?

One option I looked at for Apocalypticon was taking my World Eaters using the new dex. I have a lot of big Khornate vehicles (old Armourcast etc), and my Blood Pact are obviously followers of the Blood God. In the end, I went with my beloved Iron Warriors, but maybe next year, it'll be these guys? I had scooped some extras on Ebay, so just showing them here in the state in which they have gone back into storage for now.

3 Bikers, they've lost their chainaxes, but I've printed some spares. I haven't fitted them yet as I'm waiting to see if they come back into the codex, and what their options are now.


Some nicely painted Bezerkers, just need to sort the bases. The weapon options are now illegal, but given the unit has very few options now, they are just regular guys with a Bolt Pistol and a chain weapon when they hit the tabletop.


A rescue project, I printed some Mk4 legs and brought some of these back to spec.

More serious work - almost all printed with old heads, but it gave me chance to add eviscerators to a few squads. 

A champion, which after raiding the spares box can be rebuilt.
