I had an epic version of this post typed out, and my son hit reset on my PC before i could submit it

Including my SW's, i currently have 3 40k armies on the go. My first real army was Daemon Hunters, which im currently redoing. Im also working on a Raven Guard army. Im a bit of a fluff addict, and a problem i had was making my RG competitive, while still being fluffy. This is hard to do and include tanks. So to that end, i intended leaving my RG for Apoc, and making a tough as nails SW list.

One of the things that drew me to Bran Redmaw (apart from the name similarity) is the high use of Wulfen and Grey Hunters. That allows a very 13th company feel, without having to sacrifice tanks etc.

Ive been interested in doing a SW army for around 16 years. I planned to make a 13th company when the Eye of Terror codex came out, but ended up meeting a woman, and the rest is history

Im still waiting for my codex, so i wont even attempt an army list, but to start with here is a few pics of what i have so far:

Blood Claws on the left, Grey Hunters on the right. Both need to be finished painted. I may steal the Blood claws though and turn them into regular assault troops for my RG.


Guy on the left is the 2003 Games Day rune priest. Guy in the middle the current twin claw model, and the guy on the right is an old long fang, for a project down below...


Leman Russ! Been saving this for years with the plans to convert it to a SW tank. Im still unsure whether i cant to do that (as in Apoc it wont matter how its painted) or to repaint it for my new DH army. Thoughts?


2 dakka Pred's (have a third one in the shed getting its paint stripped) and a whirlwind. If i dont add the whirly to my SW's, it will go back to my RG to be included in a suppression force formation.


3 Land Speeders. Same as the whirlwind, i may use these in my SW army, if not, they will go back to my RG.


A long time ago i helped Ardog make some 4 wheel bikes as rough riders, and i have some left over bikes(withought wheels ). I got some extra chimera track, and plan to convert the bikes to have skido type tracks.


Remeber the Grey Hunter? He's going to be mounted into the top of my Terminus Ultra, right next to a SW version of Chronus. Ive already started converting this up as you can see.



Thats it for now, i need to pick something and start working on it! (most likely the bikes or TULR)

While i was in the process of taking photo's, i thought i'd photo everything, and make a couple diaries to try and keep the motivation going

A DH army was my first real army, but over the last few years i had mostly traded it all away. I decided recently to slowly rebuild it.

I recently picked up an Inquisitor Rex from Forge world, to go with a couple squads of Grey Knights. I also have a few snipers to convert into assassins for an Apoc formation.

I'll keep this updated as i work on them!

As you can probably tell, these are just cut/pasted from some diares im doing on wargammerau.

When i get my RG one up, i'll edit this post and put it here too

Cool man. and i understand your pain when trying to make RG competative and fluffy. but have faith my friend it can be done!! For HS i used the FW Deathstorm Drop pods. and they fit nicely for RG fluff and Anti-infantry. MM 2x's Land speeders, melta bomb assault troops, and dreads become the tank busters, or termies if i'm fielding. I took out a Land Raider, and a Razorback with assault marines and a chaplain only with meltabombs. Admittedly Vanguard would give you more MB attacks since everyone can take them, and combined with Drop Pod Locaters they can assault the vehicle same turn...anyway...i know this isn't a tactics thread, but feel free to pm if you want to discuss this more or we can do a new thread...though i'm sure there is one....
