Titan's Might

This is my first post of 2012. As far as I've concerned, there are only two resolutions for me this year; (1) no more new armies, and (2) to complete the paintjobs on all my armies. Why? Coz except for my Nurgle Daemons and Bloodbowl Wood Elves, none is actually 100% fully painted. There are 2-3 other armies that are 95-98% but still, it's not the 100% I initially planned. If I had to buy, probably just as an expansion to my current existing armies. By the way, as promised in my previous post, here's of the Gladiatorial Unrestricted Neurolink Dreadknight of Adeptus Mechanicus.

Gladiatorial Unrestricted Neurolink Dreadknight of Adeptus Mechanicus

Some people asked why I didn't use the flash function on the pictures I took. These two pictures below tells you why. Since a picture worth more than a thousand words, hope they explained everything.

with flash

without flash

Some like the Dreadknight just the way it is, while some thinks the armour plating is a bit too plain and empty. So, what say you all? Should I add some markings or not? (and what type of markings should I add? Don't want to make it too chaos-like). Whatever you guys decide, Kravin approves the deployment of this mechanical construction on the battlefield.

Lord Inquisitor Kravin

By Kravin's approval, it's clobberin' time!...err, what I meant was For The Emperor!

 The theme for my next post will be Tanks, lots of them. Till then, adios.

Hit 'Em Hard

In the previous post, you've met the defensive aspect of Kravin's Inquisition. Now, you'll catch glimpses of the offensive side. They're not exactly your typical humans, as their sheer raw abilities have surpassed the mighty Astartes. However, such great power is what you should always expect from any Inquisition force; puritan and radical. They will not hold anything back.

Dark Mechanicum Arco-Flagellants

Those above are just a tip of the iceberg. The amount of pain that they can dish out even put some Wolf Lords to shame. And have I mentioned that with Kravin around, they're scoring units too? But, enough of the lobotomized killing automatons. These pictured below are the actual heavy hitters, the ones that redefine the words 'slaughter' and 'overkill'; the same ones that forced the Sanguinary Guards into retirement in the previous Ghemehaal campaign. Given their status as assassins, the value of having these pictures is like a diamond among coal.

Eversor Assassin

Death Cult Assassins

That would be all for the Kravin's Inquisitorial infantry. There were rumours of psykers, servitors, and xenos also being part of his force, however there were no proof yet to support these rumours. Pictured below is a sneak preview of a future post.

 

Rock Hard Warriors

Cheap, durable, and scoring. Rules wise, that pretty much sums up what the Crusaders are. Kravin's Inquisition consisted of his loyal followers and his Dark Mechanicum ally. Thus, the Crusaders employed in his force slightly differs from one another. While one group was trained in the ways of the Inquisition, the other was created as a result of lobotomy and brainwash in the gene lab of Mars. Here are the two groups of Crusaders in my army.

Inquisitorial Crusaders

Dark Mechanicum Crusaders

These guys should not be forgotten too. They're the promising young prospects that has fully embraced the concept of the Hydra doctrine. Until the day they prove themselves worthy of the Junior Inquisitor title, they shall remain as Warrior Acolytes under the watchful eye of Kravin himself

Kravin's Warrior Acolytes

Double Trouble

In the midst of the Inquisition painting madness, random madness do occur along the way. Some may refer it as inspiration. Whatever it may be called, here I present to you the honourable warriors of the Alpha Legion.

Alpha Legion Chaos Dreadnoughts

Kravin's Inquisition is Rollin'

Most of my frequent visitors would have known about the Ghemehaal: Annihilation campaign that is going on right now. Truth be told, I started the campaign with the "three-colours-minimum" standard. As time goes by, I managed to get them painted one by one. I've painted quite a lot since, but only managed to take these two pictures so far.

Left to Right: Inquisitor Nathan Wolfhardt, Lord Inquisitor Kravin, Inquisitor Keefe of Sigvald

Kravin's Inquisitorial Razorback

The α-20 Jetfighter

Quoted from The Aquila:

"The Aquila has been flooded with reports regarding the sightings of an unknown flyer fleet patrolling the skies of Ghemehaal. Based on reports received, this flyer is called the α-20 Jetfighter. We are still looking for more information but one thing is for sure, they are on Ghemehaal's side. As we all agree, pictures will tell more than a thousand words. Here are various pictures of the said aircraft, courtesy of the ever-enthusiastic kind citizens of Ghemehaal and the city's surveillance footage."

Kravin's Inquisition

Just a quick update here. So far, everything's going as scheduled. Pictured below is what I managed last week, will proceed with the plastic ones this week. After they're all assembled, I'm going to post pictures of each faction involved in this particular Inquisition.

Works in Progress

A few weeks back, I've assembled a Chaos Lord/Aspiring Champion/Herald after giving in to my inner impulse for a conversion job. In truth, I've completed painting the model quite long ago. To give justice to the model, here's Lord Steffon Aureus.

And here are some WIP pictures of the projects that kept myself busy since the Apocalyptic Birthday Bash & Golden Kris. First, allow me to show my interpretation of what the monstrous Hellcannon should look like.

Followed by the vehicles that Inquisitor Kravin will bring to Legio Malaysia's Ghemehaal: Annihilation campaign; 1 Razorback, 2 Chimeras, and 2 Stormravens.

That's all for now, folks.

The Bronze Kris

I missed the first Golden Kris due to work commitments.

Managed to participate in the second one, but came back with nothing.

Finally managed to win something in the third installment.

Ladies and gentlemen, my first ever Golden Kris award: Third Place for the Large Model category - Plague Rhino Mk. II

Sure, third place might not be significant to some of you out there. For all I care, it's not easy to get one and I'm absolutely damn proud of finally getting one for myself.

Doomsday

I used to be a comic book fan. I abandoned the hobby long ago as the financial side to maintain it was troublesome for an average high school kid. However, it doesn't mean that I've completely forgotten about it coz whenever certain random words popped up during conversations, random images are projected into my mind. For instance, when somebody says 'Venom' or 'Multiple', these came to mind:

 

Likewise, the first thing that came to mind when somebody suggested to me to build a Doomsday Device for tomorrow's Apocalypse game, is this:

After brainstorming for a couple of hours, I used the Superman-Killer concept as a basis for my own Doomsday Device of Nurgle. After five days, or 10-hours of work to be exact, I ended up with this thing of vile beauty.

 

I hope it'll do well tomorrow, blowing up enemies left and right like nobody's business. I haven't forget though, tomorrow is also the event for the annual Golden Kris. Here's a WIP snapshot for my Large Category entry.

Till then, ciao..

Hands Got Itchy

For the Legio League 4, I'm playing my Eldar. But, instead of actually completing the paintjob on those awesome skimmers, my hands were very itchy. As a result, my Alpha Legion received a new recruit.

I'm pretty happy with the result. Plus, it's been quite some time since I last went Nurgle. This particular cool looking dude will be my new Plague Marine Sergeant with Power Fist, while also doing double duty as my Herald of Nurgle with Unholy Might. There's one small problem though, caught in the ecstatic excitement, I missed one tiny detail. (Hint: size).

That's all for now.

A New Menace

It is probably sad to say that our last hope, a small pocket resistance remnants of whatever is left of the Forces of Order, has been completely obliterated from the face of Arenxis. A recent graphic transmission, probably the last we're ever going to receive, shows a new breed of bipedal monstrosity deep-striking right in the midst of the rebellion. And these, the last discernible words before all the screams of havoc, are the monster's words.

"You feelin' lucky, punk?"

 

The Hydra Resurfaced

The previously dormant manifactorum on Arenxis Minoris occupied by the Alpha Legion suddenly became active again. Nobody is certain what sort of monstrosity will roll out of them, not even their Unclean allies. The last thing that went out from the manifactorum was the Baneblade 'Ragnarok' which caused havoc and one of the factors of despoiling the Forces of Order's Last Stand. There were rumours flying around that they recently managed to acquire a blueprint of the project called the Gladiatorial Unrestricted Neurolink Dreadknight of Adeptus Mechanicus. However, not even the Adeptus Mechanicus can confirm whether such project exists. Stay tune for more updates.

Fantasy, Full Force

It has been quite some time since I last posted here. The WoC army has only grown slightly, due to nil Chaos Marauders stock in Malaysia, and I have to wait for them to arrive. And guess what, at the same time, my Wood Elves army has made some progress too. I'll post pictures of them later.

I've just received my job schedule for the last quarter of 2010, and I already had some mixed feelings about it; mostly because of the 'projected' limited time for hobby. Taking that fact into consideration, I've decided to abandon any 40K project until December 31st, 2010. Why? So that I can spend that limited time and focus on my WFB army(ies).

Looks like this picture below would be the last 40K game I've played in 2010, against Rizal's spanking brand new Orkish Horde on Merdeka Day. From now on, it'll be exclusively WFB.

Legends - Week 6 Progress and Conclusion

Suffice to say, I did it. I managed to complete my entry, and there's still an hour left prior deadline. Here are pictures of the work I did in the past three days, enjoy.

And here's the whole Hydra Cult of Pestilence. It has been 6 weeks of fun, looking forward for a Season 2. Kudos to Paxter of the 40K Malaysia forum for organizing this competition.
