Indicium: Unofficial Dark Angels FAQ

Here is a link to a DA update FAQ that I'd put together a while back. I think this would be a pretty fair update to the Dark Angels codex to bring it inline with the current Space Marine codex.

Unofficial Dark Angels Update

Annuntio: 2010 Games Day Mini

So here is the latest Games Day miniature and I have to saw I am less than impressed. Though not a Fantasy or Chaos player, I really did like last years Chaos mini. On the other hand, this mini just doesn't do it for me. I suppose its because GW already has a number of excellent sorcerer minis in both games systems and this one really brings nothing new to the game.

Figmentum: Brother Raziel - An Inquisition Dreadnought

Following the Badab War, the Ordo Malleus sent several inquisitors to the Ultima Segmentum to investigate the possibility that Lufgt Huron might have been daemonically possessed and to ensure that the daemon taint did not spread further. Among those sent was Inquisitor Josiah Starck and his retinue of acolytes, mystics, and servitors.

Bellum: Daemonhunters vs Chaos Daemons

A quick little battle report pitting the denizens of Chaos against the subterfuge of the Ordo Malleus.

Commutatus: Grey Knight Grandmaster

Here is a simple but effective conversion that adds some additional close combat prowess to the Grey Knight Grandmaster. Per the Daemonhunters codex, the storm shield counts as a single-handed close combat weapon and would thus grant an extra attack to the single-handed nemesis force weapon. Of course, with the next Daemonhunters codex, this oversight will be rectified but likely the storm shield will be upgraded to confer a 3++ invulnerable save.

Commutatus: Modeling Plastic Grey Knights

A simple conversion to create a power armor Grey Knight is to use the robed marines off the Dark Angels upgrade sprue combined with the grey knight halberd bits sold by GW.

Exemplum: Forgeworld Grey Knight Dreadnought

The Forgeworld Grey Knight dreadnought is a truly stunning example of the detail that resin can offer. From the detailed inscriptions across the leg armor to the intaglio script on the chest, this model really does justice to the concept of a daemon hunting machine.

As with most FW dreads, the body is purchased separately from the arms. I had picked with the body on a whim from the Glen Burnie Battle Bunker and was fortunate to pick up the nemesis force weapon arm and twin-linked lascannon for a song off eBay.
