It has been a while since I last posted here, even longer in this category. But it is not without reason, what with life and other side projects getting in the way. This isn’t about that though. This is about an upcoming Apocalypse game, and my race to get as much painted and ready as possible.

This is not a take of four gamers. This is a tale of one gamer and his Angels.

At the beginning of October, the first weekend after the UK GamesDay, my local GCN club us having a followup event to our last Apocalyptic game against the Dark Angels. This time the stakes have been raised and the point values are higher (7-8k per table). For this I have teamed up with Nick, of Rane Projects fame, to deliver a devastating force of Blood Angels and Space Wolves. Two codicies we have often mused, that could be two halves of one whole. As it stands at the moment, I am supplying 6k of Blood Angels, and Nick 1.5-2k of his Wolves.

This will not be a walk in the park however, the battle, nor the preparation. I have the following four weeks or so to get my force fighting ready. The list of what I plan to field, along with rough progress estimates of how far along they are, is included at the end of this post and I will try to find the time to give weekly updates on my progress.

For this weeks “update”, I have spent my time sorting out my two 10 man assault squads. Mainly painting up and glueing on their jump packs along with other finishing touches as well as putting together four new marines who are actually wielding the correct special weapons. To help signify that these marines are assault marines, i have managed to trim the hands from a bunch of spare chain swords that will be hanging from their waists our something.should look rather awesome I hope!

Pics and my list will be added when I get home from work later, until then… See ya!
