Change of face?

Now many of you are wondering maybe worried about what the title might entail but do not. I had to pause teh campaign as the one of the two main protagnists of the campaign is having some "down" time as always. Maybe i should of figured it out earlier but ah well. So i took it upon myself to speed up my army some what i've pput my lost and damned force in suspension.....

Allow me to try and explain this convoluted situation, what i'm going to do is start my "traitor guard" (Imperial guard codex). This ties into the campaign me and the regular guard player i'm trying to establish some fluff for my army. So my choices will be somewhat limited (we haven't agreed yet what stays and gos's). It is part of a 3 part campaign something of "the beginning", "the rise" and "the fall". The beginning is the codex guard army without almost any doctrines maybe 1-2 and its my army starting out in rebellion against the imperium.

So with these shocking new developments my army has changed drastically (about half is somewhat invalidated). But moving on i did paint those 5 hounds which i will be subbing as "roughriders" w/ no upgrades of course. Though not as useful as actual hounds make sense that they have large hunting beasts to help them weed out enemies.





In quick starting the whole motif ive bought a box of catachans and a heavy weapons box. I'm still up in the air in weapon combinations for squads and command sections but i'm sure something will pop up in my head. Probs have a few pictures up as ill have the whole weekend to myself to convert/paint we'll see how that venture goes... till next time!

A traitor wears his taint on the inside...

Sorry everyone its been such a long time since i've posted, i've been caught up on too many things. That and i'm also still on "conversion block" i built my russ and hounds but i can't for the life of me think of how to make them more personalized. And already we are on the next month so i am given another $50 to splurge onto GW products lol. Here in the picture you can see the start of my conversions on the russ that honestly came within the last couple of days rather than weeks that i've had it built...



nothin' too fancy but i'm trying to work on it more as ideas come to me. I've always been slowed by accepting a painting job 1500pts of Wordbearers legion, i've started with the bloodletters and think they look alright, still have some work to do on them but overall i'm already priming the next batch of four.



Should be interesting trying to joggle painting two armies... but ah well more pressure better results i say. I haven't played in a couple of weeks which is always slows down any gaming aspect being a GM sucks sometimes lol the responsibility. We had a week off since my friends went to origins in ohio so this week we should get some more gaming in and hopefully get me more inspired with conversions and what not.

With the $50 i think i'm going to invest in another bloated mutant squad w/ attached aspiring champ. This would bulk up my numbers a bit more and hopefully give my opponent too many targets to kill so some should get through and cause damage. I've seen that in all my games everyone concentrates on the mutants and hounds and the traitors usually pull me through by busting a large tank or squad.

I was thinking about getting two smallish squads (8-10) w/ autocannons and plasmaguns i think that would be pretty good to destroy light tanks and infantry. Decisions... what a bitch lol. I better get my ass in gear i defintely want to get atleast to 1500pts by the end of summer... and actually play more than once a week... we'll see how it goes, i think ill pay the warmongers a visit haven't seen them in awhile...
