EC Daemon Prince and Update<p style="text-align: center;"> Welcome for a wee update!<br /> </p><p style="text-align: center;">I've not been as active on here as I'd have liked, but I have created an instagram page for another to follow whats going on. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/death_bydie/" target="_blank">Death By Die on Instagram</a> so give me a follow on there! You can also find <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bamzboyz/">Bamz Boyz</a> on there too, my regular orky opponent who is also working on a nice looking Space Marine force. Expect more from us in the future! <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> Currently I've slowly been getting backstory for D&D together, specifically the town Yartar from the Forbidden Realms. My party are currently on their way there so I need to know a little about it and what they'll find. <br /><br />I've also been working on a Daemon Prince... <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS7Y0_Vm2M9m-iWh5kaaDN8jLzHRSriQtGAHlDjwFZmT7F4u9XmHszQ68dugpKchXjSwyc0h16Gz2_0znKZBFy66Ihhi7lTYC8tioNj8frtTSX7l5NKKPO-h1DD4Bdvp2NoxbMiN9xYq-B/s2048/DaemonPrince.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1685" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS7Y0_Vm2M9m-iWh5kaaDN8jLzHRSriQtGAHlDjwFZmT7F4u9XmHszQ68dugpKchXjSwyc0h16Gz2_0znKZBFy66Ihhi7lTYC8tioNj8frtTSX7l5NKKPO-h1DD4Bdvp2NoxbMiN9xYq-B/s320/DaemonPrince.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Kitbashed from Sigvald and the wings of a large Crypt Ghoul he needs some more painting but he's getting there, looking forward to getting a force done!<br /><br />This week has been Warhammer Fest week, theres been some great announcements and a mystery one coming later today, which may have already been announced by the time you read this.

Homebrew 5E<p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Welcome to another post and this time its a little different... I'll be showing off some of my homebrew D&D content, the Jaegers of Zielen. This came about after chatting to a player who wanted to have a bit of a monster hunter feel but without being too 'The Witcher'. So I played around with some ideas and created the Jaegers of Zielen, a secretive organisation that operate around the Sowrd Coast (and sometimes beyond) under the guise of the Lords Alliance. I was a little hesitant to post this in case my players found something out I didn't want them to know yet but I think at this point most is common knowledge with them or its something that may have known out of game anyway. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZTlId0VMv_voSJoc_b8s2Tc85vRqh8JSVyDqciAFmfYjzrVZZyjdQXDopjtzG1BpkKxk1LPBM1sw65TeEFNV4j9kqfJxBvJVVr_8oMw914pFrMByKDCyGdGxfACw9Fa_xVOrU4jV-y0C/s1621/Jaegerssigil.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1612" data-original-width="1621" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZTlId0VMv_voSJoc_b8s2Tc85vRqh8JSVyDqciAFmfYjzrVZZyjdQXDopjtzG1BpkKxk1LPBM1sw65TeEFNV4j9kqfJxBvJVVr_8oMw914pFrMByKDCyGdGxfACw9Fa_xVOrU4jV-y0C/s320/Jaegerssigil.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Jaegers of Zielen. <br /><br />Throughtout the history of Faerun many heroic deeds have been told by Bards, tales of slaying great beasts that threaten villages, songs sung of cults stopped by the actions of an adventuring party, but some go unnoticed by the larger world. The Jaegers of Zielen are an Order that was created by the Lords Alliance to undertake dangerous missions around the Sword Coast and sometimes beyond that are secretive or perhaps best not known to the general populace. <br /><br />They are said to have been created by a Gold Dragon named Ornathex, and have existed for almost 300 years. Ornathex, who is the head of the Lords Alliance, needed undercover agents to infiltrate suspects of a cult, one of the suspects was a Harper. Unsure of how trustful the Harpers were, the dragon decided to create a small secretive order that would do deeds should a quiet approach be needed. His first recruit was a half orc ranger called Zielen. Zielen was known for his quiet approach to hunting a quarry, be they a beast, a criminal, or evidence regarding dangerous activities with which to incriminate suspects. Ornathex tasked him with recruiting a small number of operatives to infiltrate and watch not only the suspect in the Harpers but other suspects, and soon they had discovered Cult tendancies among those they watched. It turned out to be they were worshippers of Tiamat, and without anyone knowing all were assassinated before they gained much support. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8cLKXDh3uk918SQ-PkSs2HrVIpOijhgl8eGVn_q1QJQStJTRzZjbKrUfSg882k-ytQornNzRQ4zeIXBA6Bg0gzBLI_3y30J0KcdO-9hxPBcVUN9g_OV1CVdDHSL36JuvcBDWO8O0VtSe/s897/orc.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="897" data-original-width="743" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8cLKXDh3uk918SQ-PkSs2HrVIpOijhgl8eGVn_q1QJQStJTRzZjbKrUfSg882k-ytQornNzRQ4zeIXBA6Bg0gzBLI_3y30J0KcdO-9hxPBcVUN9g_OV1CVdDHSL36JuvcBDWO8O0VtSe/s320/orc.jpg" /></a><br />Ornathex saw them as being a great asset going forward, and through his own wealth had a keep built in a secretive location said to be towards the top of a great mountain range. None who try to leave the keep have survived the great distance they have to travel, and the location is still shrouded in mystery. To start with, only orphans were recruited to the Jaegers, but after time anyone who could prove loyalty and showed great talent would be allowed to test to become a Jaeger. Those who fail are kept at the Keep, either serving those who bettered them in the tests, cultivating crops that fee the Jaegers or other more menial tasks. They are also trained to an extent, should the Keep ever be attacked it can be well defended from the Jaegers themselves and those who serve them.<br /><br />The tests are a gruelling time for new recruits. Mountain top runs along snow capped mountains, climbing sheer cliff faces frought with danger, wild animals desperate for food in an inhospitable environment and the snow storms that frequent the area. Only several may attempt the initiation ritual, usually no more than 5 out of 8-10 will pass. Despite it being a harsh test only the absolute best of these orphans will advance and become initiates. <br /><br />It was around 40 years after the founding that Zielen fell in battle. Jaegers had been tasked under the guise of Lords Alliance agents to help lead a military assault against an underground threat in Mirabar. Undead numbers surged to an epic number, several entrances to mines there fell to animated beings and large undead constructs before they were caved in to hold them off. The Jaegers proposed a frontal assault while they infiltrated to find the source of the undead. While a large battle erupted in a huge cavern, Zielen found a Necromancer overseeing the battle. He was able to get close enough to put a blade through the Necromancers skull, before a huge beast, flesh hanging from its body and part of its skull exposed, grabbed the Jaeger and ripped his heart out. Most of the undead force dropped, the magic once controlling them now dissipated with the death of their master, but the small number of creatures that had allied with the undead forces retreated into the depths. Zielens body was recovered, and the beast that killed him slayed by the remaining 3 Jaegers who had accompanied Zielen. While none would know of Zielens heroics, the Jaegers became known as the Jaegers of Zielen in his honour. Hid body was burnt in a pyre in the courtyard of the Keep, Ornathex himself setting the pyre alight. <br />Overtime the recruiting process included more tasks as well as the physical endurance tests established early on. Puzzles, war tactics, fights against other trainees all becoming part of the program. Once a recruit becomes an initiate, they now train for 5-6 years even more intensely than during the initiation rights. They build up a knowledge of certain environments, learn history of the world as well as their Orders deeds and how odds were overcame. They are taught to survive on the most basic of items and how different races might act or can be swayed to help them should they need allies. They learn of military tactics, how different forces around the Sword Coast may fight and can be used to their best against a variety of enemies. Weaknesses that different beasts may have and can be exploited be they dire bears or hydras, and which tools to use for each job. </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi62XHBAv0WLKnKBFSWz686Rha6eVgS6vuPH2EJulBD2xb6lzfIprxUII9ho7LLMKpOoXc-T9R5SUDgKDCPuwSYlCykhxRCoAQaXzZGaLZjm3C4mozhPlYKdQmB62JJWzQM3dvl834UpRfW/s1920/anh-tuan-dao-2dartist-test-daoanhtuan-environment-concept.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi62XHBAv0WLKnKBFSWz686Rha6eVgS6vuPH2EJulBD2xb6lzfIprxUII9ho7LLMKpOoXc-T9R5SUDgKDCPuwSYlCykhxRCoAQaXzZGaLZjm3C4mozhPlYKdQmB62JJWzQM3dvl834UpRfW/s320/anh-tuan-dao-2dartist-test-daoanhtuan-environment-concept.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />The Jaegers are taught by four mentors, all of whom are great warriors in their own right and are sometimes called upon to go on operations around the Sword Coast. They are:<br /><br />Bael the Bear is one of the first individuals trainess will meet as they undergo the Rites of Initiation. Named the 'Bear' on account of his often exposed hairy torso, Bael teaches recruits how they must be versatile in the field and is a master at melee combat. He once disdained ranged weaponry but has grown to appreciate its uses over his 120 or so years since coming to the Keep and becoming a Jaeger. <br /><br />Menshu Togafoot, a middle aged halfling whose smile can disarm many before a shortsword is swung. Menshu is a master in enemy psychology, able to read body language by seeing patterns and twitches and calculate how an enemy will act often before the enemy knows themselves. He is also able to implant ideas into the minds of enemies through psychology, faking movements to raise an enemies guard before striking from a different position. <br /><br />Klandora Trayvex is an elven ranger who specialises in the hunt. Her tracking skills and ability to lay traps are legendary amongst the Jaegers, and her ability with the bow and reading the body language of beasts and monsters has become a great resource of knowledge for aspirants. Many Jaegers life has been saved by her lessons on how to survive with little to nothing in wild environments by this friendly if often stern elf. <br /><br />Groten is an orc whose stature is second only to the Grand Master. The dark skinned orc is a master tactician in the field of battle, and whose skill with unarmed combat a favoured lesson by many at the Jaegers Keep. Groten, while menacing to look at, is also one of the most friendly of the tutors. An advocate that 'a little fun in a lesson is good for the spirit' he is often the tutor that a lot of aspirants will go to if their spirit is low or an issue has arisen. <br /><br />Grand Master Horun is a mysterious figure to all initiates at the Keep. He has a presence than none other at the Keep have, a stern look always upon his face, the Grand Master does not teach any aspirant. It is only when initiates become a Jaeger will they converse with the still quiet Horun. His skill at using monastic combat is legendary amongst the few that have seen him in combat and no Jaeger has ever landed a hit on him. Only a few have even come close, and those few have gone on to become sdome of the best hunters the Jaegers have had amongst their number. Standing around 7ft tall but whose dwarven appearence belies his speed and strength, the Grand Master operates often and is tasked with the most dangerous of missions. Jaegers will occasionally seek his wisdom when they cannot find answers or have question to things. It is quietly told that Ornathex, the Ancient Gold Dragon and head of the Lords Alliance once asked to spar with Horun and not even the great wyrm could land a hit upon the Grand Master. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">And there we are! The class is based upon the fighter but with a little more specialisation and also a custom version of the 'Grit Point' system that suits their training a little. If theres interest I can try and present the first 6 levels of Jaeger for others to try but bear in mind its designed for a smaller sized party of no more than four, my group is of three and it seems reasonably well balanced thus far. Let me know your thoughts, theres always room for tweaking but I will be post more homebrew content in the future. <br /></p><br />Death By Diehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05984537406530437726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044139706474178152.post-43072528542871678032021-03-25T05:18:00.002-07:002021-03-25T05:18:58.895-07:00Orks Vs Adepta Sororitas<p style="text-align: center;"> Welcome!

Repentia failed to blow up the trukk so the Boyz came out and wiped them out before the Seraphim managed to take several of the boyz down before they too were brought down. It was a bit of a blood bath! I did manage to kill some of the boyz in the middle with the Canoness but I failed too many armour saves to keep her going. </p><p style="text-align: center;">If theres one thing we learned in this battle its that we need to remember things, perhaps make a cheat sheet of abilities but also mission objectives, because we forgot so much. I was Bloody Rose and forgot all my abilities, Bams Goffs remembered the '6's generate extra hits' and that was huge for him, turning average dice rolls into 'technically I made em all' rolls. I need to look at the rules for combat too, as allocating wounds and what can kill what we just played to what we felt made sense so I think before the next game watch some 'how to play' videos online!<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">We had fun though and thats the main, we're gonna try get a battle in every month if possible as we also play D&D and have a session in the next couple of weeks I'm getting prepped. We wanna try get some Necromunda in too at some point but its another ruleset to learn so sticking with 40k first seems to make sense. Bam's looking to add more Boyz to his force to have a couple of blobs, Sisters wise I'm unsure what I'll add as I want to get these painted first. I'm intrigued with the Sisters in big suits of armour, so will probably wait until then and if I don't fancy them another squad of Sisters and some Retributers might be in order, possibly another 5 Seraphim too as I liked their mobility. It doesn't help I have a few other things I want to do too, including a couple of kitbashed transports for other armies! <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> Coming up I'm going to talk about some homebrew D&D I've worked on, a secretive faction that are part of the Lords Alliance in the Forgotten Realms.... the Jaegers of Zielen.

Here I look at the Warhammer Preview from the 20th of March 2021. So what plastic creations are Games Workshop planning to release so that we may empty our wallets? <br /><br />How about some old world familiar style miniatures updated for AOS? <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmG7PShXu_5Ci07UCIcQwcuxFH5MtAKXwBsf3UMIoD8Ni3Mqtgc267PhNyn1D48536KquedybXdlzaGYwrTOZhyWkLTqu-_zeEQWXjF2MfGbHm7wNvQe2lxZs7X1GdBGTuJ3VDUIbtgLb/s1000/zbloodknight.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="715" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmG7PShXu_5Ci07UCIcQwcuxFH5MtAKXwBsf3UMIoD8Ni3Mqtgc267PhNyn1D48536KquedybXdlzaGYwrTOZhyWkLTqu-_zeEQWXjF2MfGbHm7wNvQe2lxZs7X1GdBGTuJ3VDUIbtgLb/s320/zbloodknight.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Well the Blood Knights are back! The Soulblight are AoS equivilant of the old Vampire Counts army, and look like a very interesting force. I'm not likely to play Age of Sigmar, but invoking those warm nostalgic memories of WHF is a good way to get people more inclined to give it a go should there be some wavering on the fence about picking up AoS. Heres the older miniatures, that still look good to be fair. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQUBIqE71ydK8BZnNAHClNYcR2l56xbLI1UTj0vw5jp8r6HzZ7Vth-cyiCJNneVtYnV9MJokQME-Tw4zB5nztr6z3MGjL3WGhm-nJEhDx9VkCt1wndMDlYuflOyGo-XDzAnEeL-wWKu6q/s837/zbloodknightold.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="837" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQUBIqE71ydK8BZnNAHClNYcR2l56xbLI1UTj0vw5jp8r6HzZ7Vth-cyiCJNneVtYnV9MJokQME-Tw4zB5nztr6z3MGjL3WGhm-nJEhDx9VkCt1wndMDlYuflOyGo-XDzAnEeL-wWKu6q/s320/zbloodknightold.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Ah, square bases.

Its a Space Marine Predator. It doesn't feel new or needed in the Sisters range. The heavy support slot already has Retributers and Exorcists competing to be included and now this? Hmm I just can't see myself caring about it. Something bigger with room for a small squad of Sisters I'd have preferred, like a mini Stormlord or... A REPRESSOR! But no, we have a Leman Russ/SM Predator love child that for me, doesn't really work. What do you think of it or on any of the new previews?</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br />It'll be interesting to see what else is teased throughout the year, Angron or Fulgrim would be nice, Be'Lakor was a great show and we need more big scary looking models! <br /><br />At the moment I've been doing a lot of D&D writing, painting some models ready for it but also painting up my Sisters force for a game thats happening soon! Most are at a very basic stage so don't expect too many pictures but I will be doing an update for a WIP it Wednesday blog post... which will be a new feature and a way to get me blogging more often again! Yep, hoping to get 2 regular posts out every week plus anything else that catches my eye.

Despite the time and resources it had taken, the various samples and experiments that had gone wrong and then razed before new tests subjects could be found or taken, he had finally been successful with his latest endeavour. 'Cawl, I have to hand it to you' he muttered to himself as his latest works cleaned up the last of their kills. The pict display showed the Sergeant surveying the field, striding past the bodies of freshly killed guardsmen as the Tormentum, Bile's personal transport, began to slow down. Not for thousands of years had the Clonelord seen such perfection on the field of battle, perhaps even since the Great Crusades. The purple and gold armour was a bold choice but the Spider knew it would mock the 'Loyalists' when they were being destroyed by a Legion renewed. He stroked his chin gently..... 'Perfection Primogenitor...

Fabius strode down the ramp. his skin cloak swaying as he spun around to meet his 'children'. Sergeant Hodoxum stepped forward and nodded. "You have performed well. I almost feel proud of you my sons' Fabius said to the squad. "Chief Apothecary, minor injuries to two but no losses. Enemy has been wiped out in this sector and Squad Daylus is advancing upon another enemy position as we speak. They will hold it shortly' the Sergeant stated. "Good" Bile replied. "There is a laboratory somewhere and it is important to me that I discover why these fools are dying to defending its location". A guardsmen let out a whimper nearby, and tried to reach up the Sergeants leg. Hodoxum looked down almost in pity, before stamping on the troopers skull releasing a small spurt of blood and matter onto the floor. "Sergeant advance to assist Squad Daylus. Inform them to take any officers prisoner but eradicate any others." The Sergeant motioned at his squad to move out, the gleaming purple and gold armour shone resplendantly as Fabius smiled once more, impressed with his own ability to have enhanced Cawls work into these magnificent beings. 'I would like to thank Cawl personally' Fabius thought to himself as he stalked back up the ramp of the Tormentum, the pistons on the door hissing as it closed behind him.

Welcome back! Its been a slightly productive time since I last posted, the cavalry bases I had worked on now have the bikes on top! Theres four with Escher heads and four with Orlock heads, I did consider using some of the gang arms but the mining suits look so good I thought I'd keep them to enhance the mining side of gangs. </div>

The bases needed a little work afterwards to get the bikes to sit on them and then I added some gravel just so it looked like the bases had been out in the open or on the edge of the Hive for a little while </div>

I plan on getting these finished in the next couple of weeks, I've got a lot of ideas I'm thinking of not just for 40k/Necromunda but D&D and the mind is constantly battling on what to think about!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of utility vehicles....<br /><br />I've got the Chimera Crane done, added a couple of little bits and I'm happy with how it looks. Its a little rough, but thats not a bad thing as it fits in with the 'urban survival' theme with Necromunda and making use of what you find. </div>

This can be used for Necromunda, to theme a 40k board too in an industrial zone or where many containers may lie like a ship yard or storage facility. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thats pretty much what I've been working on for the last few days as well as some D&D writing.... some backstory for gods of all things! Coming up I'll have some D&D themed posts and more updates on 40k and Necromunda projects. I may even get some photos from Bam to show his orks off and some backstory to our upcoming campaign, which may wait until 9th is out as the Crusade ideas sound quite interesting so we shall see! <br /><br />What have you fellow humans been working on? How do you feel about 9th edition Warhammer 40,000? </div>

Welcome back for another wee update, I've been building more than painting this week, and first up I've got some bases almost built ready for some Atalan Jackals. I'm making them neutral to use with my Hive Guard force either as rough riders or just using the Atalan Jackal rules. It doesn't help that I now want loads and to recreate the Rohan cresting the hill scene from Return of the King and have them crashing into Ork lines.... We shall see!</div>

I picked up the Galvanic Servohauler a couple months ago wondering how I can adapt it to some Necromunda terrain but then saw a few people attach it to a Leman Russ chassis. 'Thats cool' I thought, but debated whether there was a better chassis. After wondering if the lower bases Chimera chassis would be better I got hold of one and made this. Still bits to finish off but I'm quite happy with how that looks!I've flattened the top of the chimera off and then mounted the crane section onto some plasticard. Its not glued to the circular railing and I'm unsure whether to. It'll be sturdier but might be nice to be able to turn it... we shall see!</div>

I have paitned a little, firstly this guy I based from a leftover Genestealer Cultist from the Goliath kit mixed with some Orlock parts. Its what I'll be using predominently for the Atalan Bikers so had a little mess around with a colour scheme for them. I've retained the Thunderhawk blue main colour but used white on some of the armour and red casing for the gun. I'm unsure whether to stick with this for the bikers though, and may reverse it so the armour is thunderhawk blue. </div>

Little more done to the Exorcist too, having done some work to the Organists/rocket launcher firer.

I grabbed these from <a href="https://www.the-outpost.co.uk/aff/25/" target="_blank">The Outpost</a> and they were quickly at my door to quench my hobby needs! The Alpus is such a cool model, and I love how theres very little to mark her as a Genestealer cult model. Easier for me to convert! She'll be getting an Escher head, as will the femala Atalan model in the main kit. The Nexos I'll probably use as a Master of Ordnance and the Clamavus either as a Voxcaster or even a standard bearer, I'm unsure yet but just liked the model enough to get! Also, both can be used for Necromunda too which is even better! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So thats what I've been upto this week, what about you lot? Share any pictures below or maybe I've sparked some ideas off for your own conversions? Either way keep safe and keep hobbying!</div>

Today I thought I'd show off what I'm currently doing, what I've done, and what I may be doing very soon!</div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently working my way through this beauty, an Exorcists for the Adepta Sororitas aka the Sisters of Battle. I've not got a name for the order yet but I am happy with the scheme I've gone for, I think it works pretty well and getting a small force together will look pretty darn good! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Managed to get these Van Saar finished enough to where I'm happy with them too, few bits I can tidy up but this gives me now 40 indantry for my Imperial Guard brigade and I'll be working on 20 Escher next. I'll also be doing some world building for a 40k campaign I'll be doing with the notorious Bam pitting my Guard vs his Orks which he's be painting up. He's done some fantastic conversions and kitbashes so I'll also be showing these off too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also coming up I saw a most excellent conversion using the Severina Raine miniature as a proxy for Commissar Yarrick where she had a storm bolter in her sword hand and instead of the pistol she had a Mechanicus claw. I'm unsure if I'll do the same weapons but it was good enough to inspire me to get one from <a href="https://www.the-outpost.co.uk/aff/25/" target="_blank">The Outpost </a>as well as a second box of Atalan Jackals, the first box of which Bam got me for my birthday last year. Now I'm debating whether to keep the bodies as the same or to get another box of orlocks and try to use those... We shall see! <br /><br />So what are you lot working on? What projects have you got coming up? Let me know and perhaps I'll showcase them in this very blog! </div>

Tabletop roleplaying has become one of my great passions in this hobby. Meeting up with friends to act out adventures that a dice (and sometimes a Dungeon Master) will determine is great fun and fantastic escapism. But what can you do to make yourself a better roleplayer?<br />
<br />
First off, speak to the dungeon master and fellow players about what you want from the game. A bloodletting dungeon crawl can mean a lower amount of roleplaying and more fighting, whereas a grand campaign with a huge narrative arc allows a huge amount of scope for really delving into a character and backstory. This will help set the mood with your group at an early stage and put everyone one the same level.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36MAUpKzgu4xTGg3BPI9Au33Ul5wJznk41s6kplPYZuN_-Ha0h5ir52pOUNLqgVf_u2wW1lZv1B5nIo4eqOSo2Xk0lmW7MJG8QzSS5dBSRgxSNwSDsNxJvzSXPOeaw0fjpYeTDVilmem1/s1600/70643799_10156569945262083_3368801914090160128_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="783" data-original-width="1080" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36MAUpKzgu4xTGg3BPI9Au33Ul5wJznk41s6kplPYZuN_-Ha0h5ir52pOUNLqgVf_u2wW1lZv1B5nIo4eqOSo2Xk0lmW7MJG8QzSS5dBSRgxSNwSDsNxJvzSXPOeaw0fjpYeTDVilmem1/s400/70643799_10156569945262083_3368801914090160128_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When it comes to creating a character, think about how much you want to be involved with the roleplaying aspect. To keep it simple, choose a race and class that appeal to you and put a little of your own personality there. Humans are always a good start as we know how they act already, but Elves and Dwarves aren't too dissimilar to play either. If you're looking to push your skills then races like Tieflings, Dragonborn and Goliaths can really open up your perspective. A good DM will have the world react differently to differing races and this can be really interesting to play.<br />
<br />
In terms of a backstory always converse with the DM. The first thing is to understand the setting, which will then spark some ideas as to where your character fits in. Talk to the DM about your idea and they may be able to link you into the story even more which will immerse you even more. The more immersion, the better the roleplaying.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM-ahTO6_3ClY69znNpSVWyK84k17e8vndvNGYlTPwHNP9B3HtbKXiKCt3_KiGZ4lJNyO3ZFcdpKNO1-_JugK3pQEJUp8-xANCm7pm6XTwCztDiQk4STPhNNpyCg9ROR5ZfKQBgFqmKm5t/s1600/caio-santos-tiamat-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1600" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM-ahTO6_3ClY69znNpSVWyK84k17e8vndvNGYlTPwHNP9B3HtbKXiKCt3_KiGZ4lJNyO3ZFcdpKNO1-_JugK3pQEJUp8-xANCm7pm6XTwCztDiQk4STPhNNpyCg9ROR5ZfKQBgFqmKm5t/s640/caio-santos-tiamat-11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
When you begin playing theres some things to remember. Every player will, or at least should, get time to shine. This can be from triumph in a battle getting the last hit on a renowned enemy to being the focus of a story arc in which you'll do a lot of talking and roleplaying. These moments are great for your character so really try to lose yourself in these moments. Likewise, if its a fellow players time the best thing you can do is to give them the time to shine. If they are nervous about roleplaying then you can help them get immersed. If its in the heat of a battle, you can try to set them up for a finishing blow, either by an ability or spell that can buff them or by flanking or aiding them to give them advantage. If its more character based with conversations with NPCs then just help them with little questions the player may be unsure of to ask, ask them questions that will then inspire them to talk more with the NPC's. Being a great roleplayer isn't just about playing a good character but about helping the players around you be better roleplayers too.<br />
<br />
There will also be many times when you know things as a player but your character may not. I usually mention to the DM 'I know how to do something but I'm unsure my character will, can I roll a check to see if he does?' to see if the character will know, or quite often not even mention it. Your character will have a different variety of knowledge compared to you and this works in the opposite way too. The DM mentions something you know nothing about but think your character will? Ask your DM and hopefully they'll ask you to make an ability check. You might learn something new!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiREQJgd4vi9P0RA7fhSkygX1PCONyZw2lZ5EWiAX7eVBumN7EVLxKbFnYS7-Yv3ypkvn-NOtXaw2RcHUoXO5rZyl1qsWAXPUD0bm6k_0ZueFbwBPJCQBT9_42Ky1PJ9TvpVsrhqBqUod-N/s1600/group.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="929" data-original-width="1080" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiREQJgd4vi9P0RA7fhSkygX1PCONyZw2lZ5EWiAX7eVBumN7EVLxKbFnYS7-Yv3ypkvn-NOtXaw2RcHUoXO5rZyl1qsWAXPUD0bm6k_0ZueFbwBPJCQBT9_42Ky1PJ9TvpVsrhqBqUod-N/s400/group.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
My final piece of advice is also to accept that you will make mistakes or bad decisions and have some truly terrible sessions where the dice rolls are incredibly bad. Yes its annoying, but don't get angry at such things as they will affect the rest of the players at your table. Remember TTRPG'ing is a game and a shared experience with a number of other players and a Dungeon Master. Player etiquette should always be a priority in a group, the happier each player is the more enjoyable the session will be for everyone. Someone roll a nat20? Give em a clap or a cheer! Someone roll a nat1? Have a collective groand but laugh too!<br />
<br />
So there we have it! I'm learning all the time when I'm roleplaying so expect more thoughts on this tremendous aspect of gaming in the future, perhaps I'll be able to get other peoples thoughts too from fellow players and dungeon masters.

If I've stated it once, I've stated it several times, but I'm back. I've not posted since November, 2018 and I'll be honest it feels like a lifetime ago. What happened during this time is deeply personal, so I won't spare the details but over the last few months my hobby mojo has started to return. It has taken a little knock during this Corona Virus debacle but I'm still soldiering away on painting and crafting ideas for gaming and generally trying to make the most of this isolation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Necromunda, has been at the forefront. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked up a couple sets of the floor tiles, and decided to paint them purple, using silver, rust and chevrons to break them up. The PLLX stands for Pollux, thinking my hive will be named after the Imperial Fists hero. I think they came out well! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My Necromunda gangs will all see use in my Hive Guard army for 40k, so twenty orlocks means two units of infantry for the force. I've got sizty in total, 20 orlocks, 10 van saar, 20 escher and 10 goliaths. Plus various tanks and vehicles. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Dark Uprising set really captured my imagination, and I'll get some better pictures soon as thats all purple too and goes well with the floor tiles. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So whats in store in the future for Death By Die? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
D&D has been a staple of my gaming time, so I've been jotting down campaign ideas for when the group can get back together. In the campaign I play I'll be showing off some things I've done with my character, Tovus the Visceral. More on him later though! I may also post about a previous character named Elias Azure, and talk about how I create characters for roleplaying games. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
40k will also feature as I may get involved in a gaming club campaign and also running a very narrative based campaign with an Ork warlord. Look for world building ideas, force ideas to keep things narrative and painting and conversion ideas coming soon... I also picked some Sisters up....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXHIckzzSsuU1BLUG77RvloXCvewr0SyoLngma4w5KP4Cs3VOCQ4LvdqtoxfcO5CbmLyXHQBR8_fyYthwVgBvU-svGBjaaXiqt4IFW3YDG81IbGNqZiadTJWjpnUeLd6XnZhGVT3xhYhcK/s1600/Sisters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="878" data-original-width="1600" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXHIckzzSsuU1BLUG77RvloXCvewr0SyoLngma4w5KP4Cs3VOCQ4LvdqtoxfcO5CbmLyXHQBR8_fyYthwVgBvU-svGBjaaXiqt4IFW3YDG81IbGNqZiadTJWjpnUeLd6XnZhGVT3xhYhcK/s320/Sisters.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll also be running a Necromunda campaign in the future at my local club so expect some news on that when social gatherings are once more allowed. I've been slowly building up some ideas for the hive and will begin crafting those into a solid background within the next month or two. <br /><br />I may showcase some Kickstarters, other hobbyists work, maybe even some Q&A's with myself and others here too. One other thing I may do is some archived White Dwarf look backs, as my collection goes back to about 180... which is over 20 years ago! </div>

So among getting a second session of D&D ready for this coming Satuday I've recently completely a Death Guard commission. There will be more to come as I'm doing the army in sections, but the first was a set of 3 Deathshroud and 5 Terminators</div>

Theres some incredible details on these guys, the one terminator whose flesh is bulging out of his armour was incredibly satisfying to paint as was the fleshy tentacles on many of the models. Before is a video too!</div>

So with the Ork release finally coming myself and Bam spend a good few minutes talking about orks in general. From the leaks to release, how we view the orks and some of the social sides of gaming. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be doing a video looking more at the ork rules soon too, and have a game sunday to see how they play. Hoping to get a nice mix of units on the board with an emphasis on boyz! Rules wise I'll probably do a top 5 format of rules I like the most, and maybe some that I'm just 'meh' about. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you a greenskin? What do you think so far on the ork release, in terms of miniatures and rules? </div>

Death By Die is going video! I'll still be posting here, espcially with the new Ork releases coming but expect videos once a week maybe more when I get into the swing of it! All subscriptions are massively appreciated, if you have ideas for videos or questions for a Q&A then fire away!</div>

New Releases and Orktober<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its Saturday, its Salvo time! I'm still awaiting news on the Orktober releases, but we do have some nice looking preorders up today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Warhound Titans are available next week, meaning preorders are up now. They look great and I may pick some up in the future to paint. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAmO6LwBW5OF7UI8lukSI4IVQS6Q6jX4trsYOBBrVCyl8Mof9qCxE3iZ_Lbw9Jq6TmIK-yQ5IQkkLv1TMhqcz43HGtvFKOzFhFqVcPraUCg_HT5NF5F8hPfwF3y_J6fSWzoSrDEsede4EP/s1600/productwarhound.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAmO6LwBW5OF7UI8lukSI4IVQS6Q6jX4trsYOBBrVCyl8Mof9qCxE3iZ_Lbw9Jq6TmIK-yQ5IQkkLv1TMhqcz43HGtvFKOzFhFqVcPraUCg_HT5NF5F8hPfwF3y_J6fSWzoSrDEsede4EP/s320/productwarhound.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Warhammer Underworlds there are two new warbands, as well as the warbands from the Shadespire set. The Eyes of the Nine are a Tzeentch based warband, and look like they're quite a versatile warband. The Tzaangor holding the sword looks great a female acolyte model is welcome! <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdaolc5bOnIpPZ4pmh5nxFTywiqmvH-an3JGeqMWxxgbWls6kkP5QjbMM2kIhbfa2UZIkmU365KvIRgwAky9eabWilmqdZZYxNkmG6rVMvyOawxQ0FlxgXrnJ68cceUWrX_RIbcy4ajrN0/s1600/pro9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdaolc5bOnIpPZ4pmh5nxFTywiqmvH-an3JGeqMWxxgbWls6kkP5QjbMM2kIhbfa2UZIkmU365KvIRgwAky9eabWilmqdZZYxNkmG6rVMvyOawxQ0FlxgXrnJ68cceUWrX_RIbcy4ajrN0/s320/pro9.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The other new Warband up for release are the fantastically named Zarbags Gits. This motley crew of grots have 9 models in, the most of any Warhammer Underworld warband to date! Plus squigs. More squigs! <br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember the Outpost have a whopping 20% discount on all GW products, so to grab these and any other Warhammer Underworlds warbands for just £14 each head over there on the link above to pre order! Until Sunday night, the 7th of October, they are also offering free entry into a competition to win a £25 voucher for each of the new WU warbands purchased and the Warhound Titans which are £32 to preorder. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another intriguing preorder is <a href="https://www.the-outpost.co.uk/product/op-drop-october-2018/aff/25/" target="_blank">OP-Drop October 2018</a> which is a random bundle of goodies, this month containing products from Privateer Press, Warlord Games, Steamforged Games, plus painting and hobby equipment like the Kolinsky Brushes with more to be announced. In total the worth of this box is £70+ but are available to preorder for an insane £29.99. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now then, ORKTOBER! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently I'm a wee disappointed that we haven't had the preorders come up for this beauty yet. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the same time however, I am so excited to get this, I really need to get started on the orks I have as none of them are painted yet and theres 100+ boyz and various other bits to get sorted! We have 3 buggies announced and one more being teased. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Rumours are currently suggesting preorders may be up next Saturday, so expect a Salvo and a half if thats the case! I'd like to create something large and kustomised for the army, so have been toying with the idea of a gorkanaut (or morkanaut) but using the Arkanaut Ironclad as a base, perhaps attaching two chunky legs to the hull and creating a gun deck of sorts. I need to have a play around with the ideas so we'll see, but I dislike the Morkanaut model, just doesn't work for me. The stompa I'm not a fan of either so depending on where the ideas go, it could be a stompa! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what are you guys looking forward to? What would you love to see in the Ork Codex that isn't announced yet? I want kustom wagons! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This will also lead on to me hopefully within the next couple of months producing video content on youtube and linking on here, and possibly even doing some giveaways! And we all like free things don't we? Well I bloody do especially if it means I can spread the love and pass them over to the readers of my humble blog. This link now has a permenant home underneath my blog header so sign upto the Outpost and get shopping. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Otherwise on Saturday (hence no Saturday Salvo) I ran my first session of D&D! Which also means I can soon start to going into what I've been doing in terms of narrative, miniatures painting and dungeon crafting for it! Set in a homebrow city called Cannahein, a party is needed to do the deeds that the City Guard cannot, such as deep investigation, averting great evil and generally being heroes! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi42An26S1_PGHh3aOOGbiVZPBR0Cewpk89_-R_3SteuBWE8OhTw-95pUTPA2197M7fWsIjoryGXmXm_fmry6yeb04EuPEcDUryfXIXR0C1u1BjnOWmPFudA0SIwqM9aAZAtUKvuETDyNsC/s1600/caravan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi42An26S1_PGHh3aOOGbiVZPBR0Cewpk89_-R_3SteuBWE8OhTw-95pUTPA2197M7fWsIjoryGXmXm_fmry6yeb04EuPEcDUryfXIXR0C1u1BjnOWmPFudA0SIwqM9aAZAtUKvuETDyNsC/s320/caravan.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far we have Malekai, a human Paladin who is older and more experienced than the other party members. Mane, a Wood Elf Druid from the nearby Ardeep Forest looking to enhance his skills and learn from a respected kinsman that now advises the people of Cannahein, and a gifted Fighter called Throngir who grew up in Cannahein working in his fathers forge. The young dwarf has bested most of the City Guard already and together, the party were introduced and quickly put into action. Being sent on the northern path to meet a now late Dwarf Caravan, the party crest a hill after hearing a loud explosion to see goblins attacking the caravan, running off with some spoils and a hostage. They rout the remaning goblins and get the Dwarves safely back to the city. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPmoVxldAhWrS0v24ZFTCED4cYZJpdVGai4NegOQr_ZGF4fnjloA_xSj2EIJgyGDaq79KTCK4OGtXaJodt-J5J8DZYsv3z6zCVxP5czS9sQnjDV5S0ksXgQcfBPYqid_XLKpv-1w7BY0w/s1600/cavern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="834" data-original-width="960" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPmoVxldAhWrS0v24ZFTCED4cYZJpdVGai4NegOQr_ZGF4fnjloA_xSj2EIJgyGDaq79KTCK4OGtXaJodt-J5J8DZYsv3z6zCVxP5czS9sQnjDV5S0ksXgQcfBPYqid_XLKpv-1w7BY0w/s320/cavern.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The party were then tasked going back to track the goblins, finding them eventually and discovering the goblins had a troll ally! After some trickery the party manage to get the troll and goblins to fight amongst themselves before the troll and a couple other goblins see what has happened and a fight ensues. Malekai goes down but Throngir, Mane and the rescued Borrick are able to down the Troll quickly and pick Malekai up. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also got two other players lined up to play, so should make a good full party with some variety of playstyle and characters to roleplay, so looking forward to it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In other news the 40k Escalation League continues and I've managed to pick up 2 very close wins against Genestealer Cult and Space Wolves, next step is 1250 points. I was hoping Orktober would be in full swing but alas, not even the new issue of White Dwarf (which arrived today) mentions of any new releases. I IZ ANGREE AN' WANNA KRUMP FINGS! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know Orktober will probably commence at the end of the month so may have to wait until the 1500 points tier to get the new Codex Orks smacking heads!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So thats it for now, look out for more posts soon and don't forget to visit the Outpost through the link at the top for some great wargaming deals!</div>

Well, somewhere in the world its saturday.... Todays post has been later than planned, but theres good reason for that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First of all, this came in the post!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh19F6h7Te7mWopF8h1pdvKmq_E2FdRZckPev37_HEkdMRmj3Fe8Cz0EJn5V0fWoMl8smF3mIzoHR8pDQkSadrlyRxD0T9JSQPE-ej4-RhbXNIai9EXxP9CSRSLIgprPaew7WfeUM7DJYK3/s1600/40kRT.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="948" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh19F6h7Te7mWopF8h1pdvKmq_E2FdRZckPev37_HEkdMRmj3Fe8Cz0EJn5V0fWoMl8smF3mIzoHR8pDQkSadrlyRxD0T9JSQPE-ej4-RhbXNIai9EXxP9CSRSLIgprPaew7WfeUM7DJYK3/s320/40kRT.jpg" width="316" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thats right, I got me a Rogue Trader! Had some extra bits too, two brushes and some files, all from the lovely bunch at <a href="https://www.the-outpost.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Outpost</a>. They're a great site with a 20% discount on GW products and a good range of other games too, always on time with preorders which is fantastic! Current plan is to paint the Nurgle side up to sell with the codex and bits specific for them. The RT element however I'm tempted to keep and convert. An Escher head on the RT's body would surely look rather splendid methinks! I can then either use the rules for Rogue Trader in 40k or as a command squad in my Astra Miliatarum army which is Necromunda gang based... we shall see, as theres Orks on the way! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of my day was spent working on these... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijrUOYvTwvlwU99iTokOI9gLUVGJcdcPC9zRtUbJbKLMlqpr6FV-gyOqEKc0jD6tHsbGHe4oBpJUI-ruVQD1IyTm4TCtXJZuHCjAhftrMHeeRDOg-b-FQwPXOQ1Z2qyyTEfWTSfOZA5pij/s1600/Nurgle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="580" data-original-width="960" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijrUOYvTwvlwU99iTokOI9gLUVGJcdcPC9zRtUbJbKLMlqpr6FV-gyOqEKc0jD6tHsbGHe4oBpJUI-ruVQD1IyTm4TCtXJZuHCjAhftrMHeeRDOg-b-FQwPXOQ1Z2qyyTEfWTSfOZA5pij/s320/Nurgle.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Nurgle Rotters are probably about 60% done, I've got some minor highlighting on the skin to do, then work on the metal by adding a shade and verdigris then the leather details. Then basing and transfers then hopefully, all set for sale! The Bloater models are especially incredible, I'm so enjoying painting these and would happily paint some more up in different colours </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When did you grow up? If, like me it was in the eighties, you might be a fan of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. Perhaps you loved Thnndercats too? The reboot from a few years ago I very much enjoyed too. Why am I mentioning this? Well, if you take D&D and the new Thundercats, mash em together... you'd get this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQGPXbVs-B4gk5vvraO4-rXjCCVyp4mH7lEkM9x6AzB889msQ7Xms0U7syADq6C1OvFwatJOGi2CcEdAAFTD_YbqCfZHIOZrPk7VHvNI6vhB3wr4Pv_mxoTabXWgJknfRDu3rqoSikPW9z/s1600/Prince.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQGPXbVs-B4gk5vvraO4-rXjCCVyp4mH7lEkM9x6AzB889msQ7Xms0U7syADq6C1OvFwatJOGi2CcEdAAFTD_YbqCfZHIOZrPk7VHvNI6vhB3wr4Pv_mxoTabXWgJknfRDu3rqoSikPW9z/s320/Prince.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just being released on Netflix with very little notice, I saw it mentioned and looked into it and watched the entire series today. Surprisingly I really enjoyed it too. Its the perfect type of cartoon that'll ring a little nostalgia in the adults with some good stories, but have a little kid friendly humour too making it perfect family viewing, especially when painting! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of D&D, I got this! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixESJTpORtiM_m7aqP2tsuXLk8Z-LzwHX9Lz3OYk5kdcXCFqrYMoLQb2nl0-m5st55iaIF1XjSrpljvBEmnxn7tMmIe2gslK8f5k1boananaD3qZhNB7RtN7p1AsUKoHPM_AUQ7lcIlbEg/s1600/sword.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixESJTpORtiM_m7aqP2tsuXLk8Z-LzwHX9Lz3OYk5kdcXCFqrYMoLQb2nl0-m5st55iaIF1XjSrpljvBEmnxn7tMmIe2gslK8f5k1boananaD3qZhNB7RtN7p1AsUKoHPM_AUQ7lcIlbEg/s320/sword.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While the campaign I'll be running soon is homebrewed, it is set near the Star Mounts of Faerun, set in the Forgotten Realms. The Sword Coast is nearby and the book covers a ot of the areas I'm likely to lead the party so its a great source for ideas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also purchased 200 of these little tiles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXSBx4gPauzRiH-IWKh_LuMKMU684GcGgRBsJGuyFdjD1I7-5TP0yv4MF31hDtZSFoctjbjyqM1y2AH9GoVW_FmHOvMsc0uStxQW1SaKY33dHiXUjaHxPjYRkXKgE6tD7MCp-WRyvUWyU3/s1600/tiles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="836" data-original-width="960" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXSBx4gPauzRiH-IWKh_LuMKMU684GcGgRBsJGuyFdjD1I7-5TP0yv4MF31hDtZSFoctjbjyqM1y2AH9GoVW_FmHOvMsc0uStxQW1SaKY33dHiXUjaHxPjYRkXKgE6tD7MCp-WRyvUWyU3/s320/tiles.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At 30mm square, I'll be mounting different numbers of them onto card and spraying grey to use as dungeon tiles for D&D. Keeping it simple for now, but when we get into it and they get used I can add more details and even look into getting some doors and props to put on there to help with the feel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coming week I'll be finishing the Nurgle Rotters off then working on some Custodes bikes to finish off a commission, then get the Nurgle element of RT painted up. Then I'll see what happens as I want a couple of weeks in Orktober to build and paint some new and old ork releases! I've got a decent sized force already but I'm sure the new buggies will find a way into my collection as well as some other bits that may be released. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thats all for Sun.... I mean Saturday Salvo, shall post in the week with some updates!</div>

Greetings to another Death By Die showcase! This time, its two Shadespire warbands... don't worry you're not seeing double, this is two alternate schemes I did on the Farstriders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

See how the blue gives a cooler look, as if they may have been fighting near watery or icy areas. The red however is much warmer, and I think this makes them look more aggressive. </div>

Deciding what secondary colour to use for a warband or army can theme your army despite what the main colour is. Even if the main colour on these were silver, the seondary colours would still give the cool or warmer feel to the miniatures. These Shadespire kits are fantastic by the way, easy to build (akin to the easy to build series GW has been successfully putting out recently) and I'd never in a thousand years thought I'd enjoy painting gold. <br /><br />But here I am, enjoying painting gold! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which of the above schemes do you prefer? How has a secondary colour choice changed how your army feels? Do you regret picking certain colours? Leave a comment and pictures!</div>

Looking forward to getting these built, unsure which to start first but probably the Reaver Titan. Heres a close up of the Nurgle Rotters sprue... not the summer belly you want, but possibly the summer belly you got!</div>

Heres the sprue in its entirety. The Pestigor look better now I've seen up close, berfore from photos it looked like some hippo hybrid which I wasn't sure about. Those Bloaters are just amazing though! You can be any size and still get into sport. </div>

Heres the Reaver sprues, three of them too! I'm a little daunted by this I'll be honest, but a little excited too. No idea what weapons I'll be arming it with but I'm going for rule of cool. The best looking ones! I may be tempted to get a Warlord at some point too, but I would like to get some for myself. </div>

Last week I posted about the Chaos Chosen and Imperial Knights, well both went up and sold in short order, which has been a lovely boost to my confidence. A mate of mine also asked if I could sell a miniature of his and some other batches in the future so I've neatened up his Captain Lysander and listed on ebay. Hopefully I can raise him some money!</div>

This isn't how I'd do the yellow but with it already being applied I wasn't going to go over it, so used white as a highlight and glazed over. Its not too bad but I'd have preferred Averland Sunset first and built up from there. I am happy with the scribbles though! </div>

Yep, Rogue Trader expansion for Killteam and 40k Some of the models are just amazing and the rest are pretty damn cool too. I'll be painting both factions to sell seperately but may sell together if someone enquires so we shall see. The board I'll keep as my local club are looking to get into Killteam so can be used there as an alternative. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Otherwise I'll be attempted to sleep, build a Reaver and Nurgle Rotters team, get them painted in the next week so I can start on Rogue Trader and some Custodes bikes too. Plus maybe attempted to get some orks painted at last!</div>

As you can see, the Chaos Warriors have all had flames painted on their shoulder pads like the Beastmen. It was fiddly but its another thing I think has come out pretty well. </div>

The Beastmen have some fantastic poses, the GW sculpts for all the Blood Bowl teams have been amazing so far and I'm looking forward to cracking open the Nurgle Rotters team when I get them Saturday. </div>

So what do you think? I've still got a long way to go before I'm a fantastic painter but with more and more practice I'm getting there and I can see little improvements on a weekly basis. What are you guys working on and how do you improve your skills as a painter? </div>

Welcome again to Saturday Salvo, where I share thoughts about what I'm upto and excited about in the world of tabletop gaming! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Preorders came up today for the Nurgle Rotters and Reaver Titan, both of which I've snagged to paint up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Rotters team looks amazing, although I don't like the Pestigors, they look like weird hippo-beastmen hybrids and its a little odd! The Bloaters are amazingly round however, and the rotters look great. Shall probably paint these up as shown in the box with green and orange so should be interesting to see how they look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've stil got some work to do on the Questoris Knights I've got but they'll be done in the week, so as mentioned I've preoroderd a Reaver to paint up also. I've yet to think about a Warlord yet so building myself up slowly before I go balls deep! This is another lovely looking mini, the detail GW have captured at this scale is incredible and I'm hoping I can do it justice. This will also be going up for sale when completed! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
White Dwarf shall be arriving soon and the <a href="https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/08/31/white-dwarf-september-previewgw-homepage-post-4/" target="_blank">Warhammer Community </a> kindly gave us a peek at a model from the upcoming Rogue Trader expansion for KillTeam. There is so much character in this model I can't wait to see the rest and what the people over at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/inquisitorium/" target="_blank">Inquisitorum</a> page on Facebook, well worth a look if you like stunningly modelled and converted minis set in the 40k galaxy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the cover the new LOTR game is showcased, the boxed set looks really good too and the sculpts are far better than the older ones of over a decade ago. I may be tempted to get a few just to paint up for myself! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Otherwise I've pretty much completed the Chaos Chosen team for Blood Bowl which I'll be getting photos of soon and showing them off here, as well as writing and painting models for a D&D campaign I'm starting hopefully a week tomorrow! I've got a lot of things typed up on the pc so need to start organising it so I can find info when needed and make sure it all makes sense. I've set it in Faerun, but created a new city called Cannahein where the start of the campaign at least will take place. Should be exciting and when the players have seen miniatures I'll show them on here! <br /><br />What are you all excited about and working on currently? </div>

So what did I say? Satuday Salvo is back! This is just a little catch up post about what I'm upto, and anything that takes my interest in the world of tabletop. Before I carry on... behold... RESIN PORN!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This impressive individual, is Anacharis Scoria of the Dark Mechanicus soon to be available from Forge World. This guy is absolutely stunning, hes like a daddy defiler from which the defiler grew in numbers and size. Genuinely love this miniature and wondering about conversions! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tooth and Claw is released today, the new 40k boxed set that pits the Genestealer Cult vs Space Wolves in Primaris form. Some nice miniatures on both sides, and I may pick up the character pieces to knock up one day. In a painting kinda way obviously. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Myself, I've been hurriedly painting away at the Chaos Chosen team for Blood Bowl and Questoris Knights for Adeptus Titanicus. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGE7A-gknkmuUZOaUJVVvxN2XqwpSlqAxALs_aBRLKj_qE6dK5MsczAKEgK1uQglFjPzapUL70B_hmmi-TfQHQY9vofGWGAaUuZo3AW09FVPKQCuyJ0OYMS3AMgMDS14dHffSvjJliKsiq/s1600/chaos2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGE7A-gknkmuUZOaUJVVvxN2XqwpSlqAxALs_aBRLKj_qE6dK5MsczAKEgK1uQglFjPzapUL70B_hmmi-TfQHQY9vofGWGAaUuZo3AW09FVPKQCuyJ0OYMS3AMgMDS14dHffSvjJliKsiq/s320/chaos2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chaos Chosen are almost done, transfers have been placed on and just finetuning some of the details before they get a coat of matt varnish, get shot (with a camera!) and then go up for sale. I've really enjoyed painting them, although I'm still learning to paint and get a contrast between areas of skin and fur. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnZQYWaTSuTAmoMl_HNvIQR-uz9oJF1b7pMJXtV7DQfsWisN_M8AC4RRniBJZqqcNbymczMcb2vujMkujqmnWX9EA_SzRxmOSEXDzUeRm8unW1pBLRQI9s3dCdRUFt8TSnW5APIXBXD3pI/s1600/chaos3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnZQYWaTSuTAmoMl_HNvIQR-uz9oJF1b7pMJXtV7DQfsWisN_M8AC4RRniBJZqqcNbymczMcb2vujMkujqmnWX9EA_SzRxmOSEXDzUeRm8unW1pBLRQI9s3dCdRUFt8TSnW5APIXBXD3pI/s320/chaos3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've numbered the Chaos Warriors 1-4, Beastmen 5-12 and then the Minotaur (yes, theres a frenzy stoked minotaur being painted up too) number 16. I've got the Elven Union team still on sprues I may get built in the next week and started too, tempted with a brighter more outlandish colour scheme for those but shall see!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another kit I've really enjoyed building and painting are the Questoris Knights. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQW4py156268SVUlcaPvQ7N-DeOqJAzwm4FnZZTuf_yZJ70s1oKiyN4Q5y2RIEhZg52zEh4vhw4mRsUnlptUsD0synSzqPjYi1U7qrKgE8Jk8GHM95tw0wtYTG20pqqsL1JdY97hW4hBz8/s1600/questoris.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQW4py156268SVUlcaPvQ7N-DeOqJAzwm4FnZZTuf_yZJ70s1oKiyN4Q5y2RIEhZg52zEh4vhw4mRsUnlptUsD0synSzqPjYi1U7qrKgE8Jk8GHM95tw0wtYTG20pqqsL1JdY97hW4hBz8/s320/questoris.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The detail on these guys are really good, even at the much smaller scale they pack a lot of bits in that make it look impressively close to its 40k scaled brethren. I'll ve very tempted to get some more of these and maybe even a Warlord to try building and paint up, but first these need some more work, transfers applied and to sell! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now excuse me for just a few moments, I need to swoon over this image. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't she just a beaut? Orktober is introducing not just a new Codex for the Orks but also a boxed game called Speed Freeks, which includes among another buggy, some bikes, and possibly some unknown other miniatures, the hopes and dreams of many more kits. There are so many things of the Orks that deserve an upgrade.... Deffkoptas, HQ choices, I'd absolutely love GW to release a box that literally just contains bitz. Armour panels, guns, rokkits, grot crew, wheels, just a box full of random orky wotnotz that can be glued onto existing kits (not just ork kits either) to make many kustom vehicles. Rules wise looted wagons need to come back, an invulnerable save option for a warboss would be lovely too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've seen the rumour about the clan rules which seem cool, but I'll not wonder too much about that currently as its unsure if they are true or simply someone wishlisting. I can deffo see something like that though so who knows. Theres also been a lot of talk about a 'Prime-Ork'. Ghazgkull ascending to some sort of god hood? Who knows, it'd be nice to have something a bit mental like that, not just in terms of miniature or rules, but in the narrative. With a possible Armageddon encounter that could rebirth Angron its possible something awakens in the Ork world to help them combat the reappearence of Primarchs. Plus a huge Ork stomping around always looks good! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whats everyone else been working on? I've got a busy week coming up getting some D&D miniatures and a first session to get ready, as well as get the next batch of miniatures started. Hopefully this is just the first in a new batch of Saturday Salvo, where I'll have at least a once a week post to get written up. I should however be posting a couple of updates midweek too regarding news and my thoughts or updates on current projects. I'm also hoping I can rope in a couple of other contributers too! </div>

The heresy, and its a punishable offence at that, is that I've once again cast my thoughts away from Death By Die, allowing dust to gather in the corners, servitors to wander aimlessly around wondering why they haven't been programmed, and mutants are starting to gather outside. </div>

Well, it may feel like deja vu but lets try and get this going back at a steady rate shall we? News wise, theres been a few things. A few months were taken out of regular life as there was a family illness, yup... the 'C' word. My Primarch, Papa Rowland is well on his way to recovering though and things are getting back to normal. Whatever normal is! </div>

Also, I've I mentioned way back on my last post, I've started painting. A lot. I've slapped a few examples from some of the miniatures I've painted, theres some I did for a client I know that I need to pinch back to do some better images of. But here, is some Necromunda!</div>

I've also been getting into Warhammer: Age of Sigmar Champions, a great card game by PlayFusion set in the AoS world. I've gone for Chaos and Death, favouring Death currently and Bam has opted for Order and Destruction, with a preference for Destruction. Cause Bams like that. Hes beaten me more so far but we had some close games, one of which felt like an epic battle of Warhammer which I absolutely loved. Bam kept damaging me in bursts while I slowly whittled him down, slowly regainging little bits of health where I could. He sent me to the grave but being Death, I got back out! It wasn't enough however and Bam managed to again send me packing but it was so much fun. I need more boosters! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So thats how things are currently, as well as other things such as a 40k escalation league in which I've taken Orks, re-doing my Space Marine chapter cause, well we all like a bit of pain and getting ready to start a D&D campaign in which I'm Dungeon Mastering, and providing a lot of miniatures for. More on all these things soon! I'm hopeful about remembering my intention to do Saturday Salvo again, shall see!<br /><br />Theres that deja vu again......</div>

Its been a little while since I've posted, although thats probably the most common introduction I produce on the blog. But, bear with me for it is a good thing. Almost two months ago I decided to paint, challenging myself to get better. You've seen my stuff before, it was alright, but I think I've improved. So much so that I've grabbed up all the Shadespire I could and got to painting it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here to begin with, I present the recently released Magore's Fiends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I'm still not steeped in the lore of Age of Sigmar theres no doubting the models for AoS and Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire are absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed painting these as I love painting red, still working on blending and building up layers but its looking quite effective. </div>

So there we have Magore's Fiends. I've also got the Farstriders coming in a post soon along with the other warbands I've painted, of which there are another 3. Like I said, I've really enjoyed painting them! I have also started to take on commissions so if you have anything you'd like painted to a good standard for use on the table please get in touch on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/deathbydie/" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> where I can answer all of your questions or you can just keep track of blog updates. Thanks for looking, more soon! </div>

<i>'All was darkness. Memories and dreams flew through Adelias mind as if a tempest was inside her mind. Her hard childhood learning to defend herself in the depths of Hive Probatious, improvising weapons until she joined the Eschers and was giving her first gun. Her father, who was an officer had started to lose his mind, and her mother had dragged them both away from the eyes of those who may question what he had fought and seen. The Inquisition will cleanse anyone who sees Chaos, and her father had seen much. He would often wake up shaking, murmouring of disgusting creatures that slowly stalked the battlefield, clouds of flies buzzing around their humanesque forms as smaller creatures would gather in great numbers playfully laughing and attacking the guardsmen. Sometimes he could not speak at all of what he had seen. Her thoughts began imagining large Astartes in armour that rotted, the smell of disease and filth strong and their relentless advance, firing boltguns and plasma wherever they pleased. With a jolt, Adelia shot up.'</i></div>

Welcome all to a 2000 points battle report between the insidious Death Guard lead by none other than Typhus versus the gallant (yet slightly scummy) Hive Guard! First time using points and it worked out pretty well, managed to fit in a little more than I did in 100 power. Deployment was a standard set up along the lengths of the board, I rolled and got first turn but Lewis seized the intiative! Darn it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
'<i>Her vision was blurred, but she recognised her surroundings quickly. The dark ceiling and the low green lights of the command centre was now a familiar sight, a welcome one at that too. As her eyes started to focus she saw the crew of her Leman Russ battle tank to the side, all sat around a table sullenly drinking whatever was in their cups. "Awake I see. Bout fucking time" a gruff voice said. Her fellow Escher looked over to see her awake, as she looked to the side seeing Birim, his huge grey haired mohawk looking black from the battle but a smile on his face. "Wha... What happened?" Adelia asked. "One of those Death Guard bastards smashed your tank up, but its being fixed. Your girls are all fine apart from some scratches and smoke inhalation, but you got thrown out from an explosion on the main turret. Should be fine though. Massive bruise on your arse made all the lads laugh" he said joyfully. Then she felt the ache through her entire body, her arms were covered in scrapes and her backside throbbed, Birim wasn't lying. Ophelia, the driver of the Leman Russ, walked over and put her hand on Birims shoulder. "you alright sis?" she asked. Adelia let out a sigh, "I think so, medicae administered anything?" "Yeah" Birim replied. "Drink this and get up" he said handing her over his hip flask. Adelia had drank from his flask before and the liquid inside burned her throat. For once, it didn't feel unpleasent.'</i></div>

Lewis commanded his forces forward quickly taking the two bastions with deep striking terminators right on the top. It took quite a while to get them out of there! My plasma executioner tank took a lot of damage early on and wasn't very effective but with how much damage it took it did its job! Autocannons vs Death Guard are pretty good though and even though it wasn't ordered it did well! Deffo keeping him around. Those terminators though took out 2 squads of infantry, the damage to the tank and almost killed a sentinel. They got some bad ass weaponry!</div>

<i>"So some of us are alive, did we acheive the mission? Whats the casualties?" she wanted to know. Birim walked over to a desk where some people were discussing a hologram. He picked up a dataslate and walked back over, the red glow from the slate lighting his face up. "Pushed em back, made the fuckers pay. A lot of em are left lying face down in the dirt, though their stinking corpses probably like that. Ghronx went down, but hes not dead. Well not yet anyway. He still owes me 30 credits. We lost a few vehicles and about 40 men. Lot of repairs needed all being worked on. Some stupid bitch let a Marine slap her tank... oh yeah thats you." Birim snorted heartily under his breath. "We got em retreating and whatever they were after we don't think they got. Beat em to some of the supplies so we should be good until reinforcements." Adelia swung her legs over the side of the bed, taking a moment to stretch. "Who did we lose?" Birim looked up at her solemnly. "Most of my boys are gone, some are wounded pretty bad but that won't stop em from getting stuck back in if needed. A lot of your lasses are wounded too, not sure how many dead. Them Goliaths seem ok but the Defence Force squads lost a lot too. Reinforcements are hopefully coming in soon." Adelias experience of gang warfare was that you might lose a couple of comrades during a skirmish, but war brought loss to a whole new level."</i><br /> </div>

Objective wise it was a close battle, I managed to get a few early on but Lewis kept close too. I'd edge forward by a couple then he'd catch up, and coming towards the end of the game he had just pushed ahead by a point. I love how the objectives keep you guessing what you need to do. The best example, was me having to advance all my forces out of my deployment zone, which I manmaged to do and then on Lewis' turn he had to move 4 of his units back to defend his deployment zone. Narratively after his slow grinding advance I rushed forward and took him by surpise forcing him back. We loved that moment! My Vendetta took out the Plague Drone which was the scariest unit for me as it could surge forward with flamers and tie up valuable units. It had to go! 6 Lascannons worked haha. </div>

<i>'Memories of the battle started flooding back. Part of the mission had been to reclaim two old Bastions, but the enemy had managed to somehow teleport straight on top and the firepower from them took a toll on the defenders lines. Eventually they were cleared and one of the Astropaths had made it into one, the information claimed potentially being valuable. She remembered a smoking Vendetta gunship screaming around, its Lascannons blazing bright lights across the sky before it was struck and tumbled to the ground. The Death Guards flanks seemed to have been pushed back, but the middle had been the problem. Adelia suddenly remembered the masked Astarte that had strode forward over the bodies of friends and foes alike and struck at her tank with force she never knew one person could wield. After that, she could remember nothing. "Ghronx is in the medicae if you wanna go see him, along with the more badly wounded" Birim mentioned. As she set her feet on the floor, pain stung up her legs and her back. Her first couple of steps were uneasy, but the pain wasn't an alien feeling. "Best go see how the horny bastard is then" Adelia said as she walked away.' </i></div>

<i>'She saw Aldreyus to one side, who was talking to the Astropath she had seen with the Goliaths before. A Ratskin shamen was also present, although he seemed distantly in thought elsewhere. She nodded at the Primaris Psyker who noticed her. "Ah Adelia, you're up and ok. It is a blessing to the Emperor that you are well". "Yeah I'm pretty happy about it. Although death means a good sleep" she replied. "Oh dear, thats not good... Oh I see! A joke! Ha I like that one!" he proclaimed as Adelia rolled her eyes walking past the old man. A few corridors along she came to the medicae. Some of it had been shut off, some illness had been caught by a couple of guardsmen although it seemed to be contained. She walked into the area and could see Ghronx's body lying on a bed, a couple of machines seemed to be hooked up to him. A man in civilian clothing bar an apron walked over to her, giving her a courteous nod. "Adelia I believe?" Adelia nodded, "Yeah, hows he doing?" "Not great, I'm afraid. He was found unconscious but barely breathing, we're hoping we can stablize him." the man said. "And you are?" Adelia asked. "Claus, I'm the medic here. Well sort of, not offcially but I've had some training. Not military grade training but just down in the Hive." he explained. "Good to have you here Claus. Hows my girls doing?" Claus checked his dataslate and scrolled through the hologram. " out of the 17 casualties, 4 were dead on the battlefield, and we lost another 3 since. The others should be alright to some level however." Adelia felt relieved that more were not lost, and patted the balding Claus on the back. "Appreciated Claus. Let me know if Ghronx wakes up." "Will do maam" replied the medic as he walked off to attend some of the wounded. Adelia had never been called that before, and it took her off guard. She thought back to her father and how he was an officer, and it seemed she would follow in his footsteps.

Welcome to the first Batrep in a while, a battle between Imperial factions no less. One consisting of 200 power of Astra Militarum commanded by myself and Mark, the other army a 100 power Blood Angels force commanded by Lewis with a 100 power Space Wolves detachment led by Adam aka Fuzz. It had been a little while since we played so we kept it reasonably simple with 6 objectives and drawing upto three cards a turn per side. Secondary objectives as usual, line breaker, slay the warlord and first blood. </div>

"<i>Howls cried in the distance as the mist began to clear from the
nights embrace. Morale was low, although the Cadian 193rd had tried
their best to get the hive gangs spirit lifted in what would probably be
the moment they meet death. Their home, Hive Probatious, had been
obliterated by a crashed starship and the onsuing battles that came
afterwards. Sightings of everything had been seen, from multilimbed
aliens to power armoured giants and even green skins. War had come to
the world of Corbel and what was left had to fight back to survive. Many
of the gangs had fallen but each house still had some strength.
Adelia's father had once been an officer in the Corbel Tank Regiment and
his stories were better than any school for Adelia. The hum of the
engines of this Leman Russ she now commanded made her feel comfortable,
as if her father was at her side. She took a glance at the dataslate and
could see the defences were all in place. The Escher had found an old
factory and apprehended some Leman Russ tanks, a couple Chimera APCS and
given the Goliath gang that still stood, aptly, a Goliath truck. The
Cadians who stood with them also had several of their own tanks, more
Leman Russ, Taurox and even a couple of the Basilish with their huge
Earthshaker cannons. Hope filled Adelia that survival could be a
possibility, until she heard the howls again. "</i></div>

"<i>The sun never shone that brightly on Corbel but with Give Probatious
in ruins its rays crashed through the dome ceilings, bringing more
light into what was left of the hive than it had ever seen. 'Defenders
of Corbel, death is imminent, but what we take with us is not an option.
You may face the most elite and fearsome enemies today but you shall
stand and you shall fight". Adelia listened as Commander Creed took to
the vox. She looked around as his voice filtered through, the infantry
standing on edge taking some level of courage from Creeds inspiring
words. "Your homeworld burns around you, but your spirits must burn like
an inferno if we are to walk away with victory. Stand for your
homeworld and your Emperor shall stand with you!" Cheers went up all
around the lines as Creeds message hit home. 'So we're gonna die' said
Ophelia, the driver of Adelias Leman Russ. 'Probably, but we have plenty
of guns to try and kill them with, lets pound at least some of them
into death before we get fucked up' Adelia replied. The vox flared
again, and the ruff voice of Ghrox came into life. 'You heard this
Creed, we aint got much chance of seeing this day through but we get to
kill some of them Astartes bastards. Why they attack we dunno, but we
make em pay.' The abhuman was a strange one Adeila was sure, but as
different as he looked there was no doubt he was one fo them. A horned
beast like head whose mouth always had a cigar smoking from it, Ghronx
was a bounty hunter in the Underhive before the war came and had now
become a leader of sorts in the defence force. Birim, one of the few
Demiurgs had also become a figure of command and both were capable
fighters she'd seen. "</i> </div>

I was using my hive gang guard for the first time, and had managed to get together a brigade to give our side 9 command points giving us 18 in total.

After both armies had deployed the BA/SW combo won the right to go first. I rolled to seize and rolled a 3. To command point or not? Ah go on, we had 18 command points to use so why not. What did I roll? Lets just say some Leman Russ tanks lumbered forward to get the first shots in! I rolled a six! </div>

<i>"Her thoughts started to shift to all the people standing with her. Aldreyus the Psyker, whom many still took wide berth of, his powers had saved many of her fellow Eschers and despite his dangerous skills they happily stood with him. Commissar Graven was a very old man as war had come to Corbel but had taken up his bolt pistol and uniform again after being saved by some of the local troops. Birim had got the last of the Demiurg on Corbel together and they hunched together in their Chimera ready to take the fight to the enemies wherever they need to be. The Goliaths had taken an astropath called Nelsium amongst them, their attempts to persuade some local Ogryns to the cause had failed however. The howls started to sound louder as the mist had almost cleared. Adelia realised that battle was upon them as the Cadian tanks engines roared into life, drowning out the wolves. The defences turned to offence, as the Cadian forces lurched forward cannons erupting towards the grey and red lines that opposed the defenders. The enemy opposite Adelias lines began advancing, and the battlefield lit up. Lasers streaked across the battlefield, cannon shells tore holes in both lines. A massively large giant lumbered towards the lines surrouded by huge wolves, warriors in both grey and red armour accompanying it. The Goliaths and one of Adeilas Escher gangs rode forwards in their APC's, autocannons blazing away at the lines but only killing the wolves. It would silence some of the fucking howling she thought as she commanded another tank to concentrate fire where Cadians were firing" </i></div>

Fuzz'es Wulfen were slicing through a lot of Marks units on the right, but our tanks were making them pay. Logan Grimnar found his wounds cut down quickly but as he made it to combat it was hard to finish him off.

<i>"Reports on the right flank were that the grey armoured Astartes were advancing with great speed, some like bestial demons leapin forward with great speed, raking the Cadians tanks with claws and axes butchering the troops inside the Taurox. Others rode the backs of massive wolves, pistols firing wildly into the allies lines as they too tried to close the lines and wreak havoc with their own axes and thunder hammers. As Adelias Leman Russ fired she glanced out of the cupola to see the air shimmer and buzz, before 5 huge armoured marines appeared. 'Fucking terminators!' she cursed as they storm forward into the local defence troops, lightning claws tearing their bodes apart and hammers collpasing skulls. Just as Adelia was beginning to lose hope Birim and his fellow Squats disembarked and unleashed a fusilade intot he terminators alongside more of Adeilas fellow eschers. 3 fell as hundreds of lasgun shots bounced of their armoud. Aldreyus concentraded and from his hand another Terminator fell as energy surrounded it and made its armour collapse. One remained however and with a pack of wolves that had sprinted towards the defenders lines smashed its hammer into the Leman Russ Exterminator whos autocannons and heavy bolters had taken its toll on the enemy. The explosion took out most of the wolves, a few of the Demiurg were caught and even a sentinel looked to take some damage from the blow."</i><br /> </div>

After racing out to a 9 point lead in the first two turns our objectives became dry with some difficult ones to attempt. Make the Astartes fail morale and defend 2 objectives for two turns. Both were too far away! The Blood Angels and Space Wolves clawed their way back and on Turn five it was 10-9 to the Astartes. </div>

<i>"The left flank however did seem to be keeping together, although the huge grey Dreadnought still advanced, with 5 of its smaller brethren and five of the blood red troops too. Another Terminator teleported nearby, this time one that looked to be a commander, its armour more ornate than the others that had come into play just moments earlier. Once more Commander Creed took to the vox. 'The Emperor will protect, the Emperor inspires, whatever is sent to destroy us will ultimately fail as our faith shall never fall!' Seconds later Commander Creed was dead, wolf like warriors tearing him and his command squad apart in an attack down the right flank. Scions had been killed, and the Basilisks were now being stalked. One of Adelias Leman Russ tanks had been charged by the wolf cavalry, but survived and reversed as the Executioner Leman Russ behind it levelled its weapons dropping some of them dead. A couple more died from the Cadian firepower, as a wolf pulled chariot that hovered above the ground flew foward into the Cadian lines butchering more of the guardsmen. More vox chatter came in, the Goliath gangers had levelled the Terminator Captain with some of the other troops on the left, but the Eschers nearby were torn apart by the Dreadnought. The red armoured troops had taken down more of the infantry but had also almost been wiped out by chimeras. The centre seemed to be holding but both flanks were collapsing. One of the Basilisks blew up, taking some of the enemy with it but it gave little solace. Wolf cavalry was wiped out by a combination of Leman Russ fire and infantry squads, and the wolf chariot was also blown out of the sky which seemed to anger and confuse the wolfen forces even more. Adelias tank fired again taking more of the red astartes down, but the battle was over. Both forces had taken a pummelling, the Cadian lines were almost wiped out, the Goliaths barely surviving. One of the Escher gangs had been wiped out and only half the Demiurg were left. The Astartes had suffered too, but whatever their mission it seemed to have been fulfilled. The rocky outcrop in the middle of the battlefield seemed to be a point of interest to the Astartes and Adelia could only hope it wouldn't be the end of their world. For now, the defence would rage on."<br /></i> </div>

So my first outing with the Imperial Guard was a very enjoyable one! Compared to Space Marines they are a lot more varied in how well dice rolls do, as you're 50/50 compared to most Space Marine rolls where its 70/30. When you get those good rolls by Emperor you appreciate them! I can't wait to get more games in with them. I'm planning on a box or two of Orlocks to upgrade soe of my infantry, I love the Squat infantry but the models just don't fit in. I'll keep them around if needed but they will probably become retired in time, especially as new gangs are released for Necromunda. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What else to add? I think a couple of heavy weapon units would be useful, and I'd like to try out my Vendetta and Stormlord at some point too just to see how they are in a game. I just love Leman Russ tanks though! I have another two to get painted up which will give me 5 plus the Tank Commander. The sentinels disappointed me although they were my most recent purchase so wasn't surprised. Psykers are fantastic, the power giving you +1 save was especially useful in cover to make my goliath veterans much more survivable. </div>
