Building-Marathon!

So been working on my Blood Angels for a while still no painting and trying to decide what I want to do for the last part of my 2000 pt list. I have a couple things in mind but not quite sure which I want to go with. Well on to what I have been up to this week got a ton of assault marines ready to go. Up to about 30 or so that have magnets and 20 have glued jump packs.






On top of finishing some of my marines I got some assault terminators built along with a few predator tanks that are magnetized.





Overall it has been a busy building week and still have a Storm Raven Gunship and 1 maybe 2 Furiouso Dreads That I need to get and Build and that will complete my first stage of my army. My second 2000 pts list for the Blood Angels needs stuff that I can't afford to buy quite yet but more updates are yet to come.

Fun With Magnets



I have been spending a ton of time working on building my army so when summer hits and I have more time to play I will be ready for battle. Currently the army is just in the build process and I will not put a drop of paint on my stuff until every piece I need is built. I have been playing with magnets this time around so that I can choose to swap gear when needed. This is helpful because models are a tad  expensive and having the option to swap out gear on a model instead of having to go buy a box of 5 guys so that you get two models to put a different gear layout can save money. Not that saving money is my goal because all money spent for this is play money. It has been a fun project with the magnets since I get sort of customize my guys and it is giving me experience for the next conversion that I want to do which is to make Mephiston. Just not a fan of the model so going to Frankenstein my own. Below is a pick of a assault terminator with a thunder hammer that has a magnetic arm. I will post some of my own stuff soon the camera is in a location that I am unaware of so it will be a day or two before I get anything up.

40k universe

The main devotion to this blog is the adventures I have as I play Warhammer 40k with friends and new people I meet.  For those who do not know 40k is a table top war gaming strategy.  It was made in Britain in 1975 and was founded by a company called Games Workshop or commonly referred to as GW.  Since then they have had many updates and new rules and armies that have come out for people to play. The game itself is played with models that players get to build and paint. The build and painting of the model doesn’t really matter all that much especially the painting, but it is more of a pride thing for your models looking great as you play. I have been playing for about a year and half and currently play two armies the Eldar and the Blood Angels. I am more currently focused on the Blood Angels and will have some pictures and updates of games and my current model builds in further posts. I will also post about rules and other details surrounding the game so that people who are newer to the game and are interested are able to get a better feel.
