so playing against GK is just plain not fun at all.

I've had some tough times over the editions facing these guys with Guard. It's a bit of a crap shoot, specially if your opponent is always out fer your throat. Part of why I have such a large collection of models is out of adapting to beat armies as opposed to just collecting what I like for my army. Strangely, when I gave up on the internet's advice to me and started just playing my army a ton I started winning more often than not despite playing a low-tier army (BA). Even the GK guys with their Draigo-stars have had a hard time sweeping me under the table since I reintroduced Dante, someone I had formerly given up on based on the interwebz information. I guess I play with some cool people though, which helps even when they bring game-altering unit choices. We also communicate pre-game about the brand and age of cheese we'll be bringing out so total blow-outs don't happen anymore. Key.

its hilarious that I can still blow Ravenwing/deathwing combo armies of the table tho..

There's always some armies you just have an easy time with. For me it seems to be Space Marines.

this is what I at least have to finish before buying more

So....you're like a week away from buying a new kit? :laugh: I put together seven models (infantry, nothing big) in the last two months. Boo-yeah.

the Ultramarines 3rd company are starting to take shape nicely

however this still needs finishing XD

that is:
Half an Assault squad.
1 tactical squad with multi-melta and melta gun.
1 captain with stormbolter and powersword.
3 servitors.
2 objective markers.
1 razorback with lascannons thats going to be repainted from wolves to Ultramarines.
1 stalker.
1 landspeeder.
3 droppods that are going to be rebuild and painted from wolves to Ultramarines.
1 honour guard standard bearer.

I got a fun battle lined up for the end of Juli, as soon as the local Dark Angel player comes back from deployment we will duke it out in a 3000 Points battle, looking forward to this, as it gives me the chance to use the Guard (AM) formations to their full strengths.

 

[Iraqiel]

Excellent, I love the bigger battles! Very interested to hear your thoughts on the new formations, I was considering trying one or two out soon in a 5000 point game.

Great work so far on the ultramarines, it's a very impressive allied detachment that you have going there!

I already beat him once on a 2000 Point game, I combined the Emperors fist armoured company, the Emperors blade assault company and the Emperor's wrath artillery company. highly effective I wiped his ravenwing/deathwing combo army of the table

Good Show! I'd like to have seen that!

 

[Haskanael]

welp I caved in and got the limited edition space marine tribune, good times when the store only had 10 available.
probably going to paint him up as an Ultra Marine and pick Ultramarine painting back up after getting him finished.

 

[Kreuger]

Heh. Congrats.

But isn't that a little like saying, "I'm addicted to the most boring drug around, and I just relapsed."

 

[Haskanael]

in part it is, but I am actualy enjoying painting it, and thus far have no regrets getting it

Despite the perennial hate that Ultramarines get, every time I play Rome Total War I get an urge to start a collection...

 

[Kreuger]

Oh, I don't hate them. I just think they're bland.

 

[Haskanael]

well I'm getting back around to painting, finaly! work sure keeps one bussy
first off a squad of Kasrkin I need to mod the SGT a bit (replace the power sword with a chainsword) and spray paint him, then get on with painting the bunch.

 

[Haskanael]

welp gues what, Kasrkins never got finished. they will eventualy. but not any time soon.
I have however put time and energy in some other projects.
A little diorama

build some objective markers.

finished these veterans and transport for the APC

Wall of martyrs

also Heresy Era Ultramarines!

this ten man squad will be a 20 man squad when I am finished with them.

 

[Haskanael]

since last post, more progress on my Heresy era Ultra's.

Cataphracti terminators ready for battle.

 

[Haskanael]

better terminator pics.

and the finished Legion Primus medicae

 

[Old Man78]

Great output of work, some good painting, I would only suggest drilling out the barrels on all of your guns, makes them look a lot better in my opinion, keep up the good work
