Playing 40K with @andozane and @jollyork

Date: Tuesday, November 21st, 2017 Time: 4 PM to 10 PM (we sometimes close later) Location: 717 SE Main St. Portland OR 97214 (map) - Around the corner from Kokiyo Teriyaki and up the stairs Cost: $5 for Ordo Members, $2 for Ordo Warlord Champions, FREE for Emperors! And as always, your first Game Night is FREE! Games we play: Primarily Blood Bowl and 40k. All are welcome. We also have tables open for Infinity, AoS, 40k, or whatever game you want to play. Although it is possible to find a pickup game at Game Night, it is much better to prearrange a game before coming down. Hope to see you there!

There is a group of us who play pretty regularly on the Xbox....it's a great game

Since this starts at noon and not midnight, I will assume this is an After Dork party....in which case I am in. :)

yes! :)

Okay, just so you know I am not dead :) Time for a quick post before game night. My building projects have been slowed by two events. On August 30th, my wife and I hit 25 years married and she insisted on celebrating...something about "this is a milestone" and "put down your toys or I'll kill you." So, we took a hobby free trip to the coast. :) The second event was the release of Destiny 2...which has been very effective at voraciously feeding on my free time this last week. So, what did I build? Terrain! 8th edition just screams for more line of sight blocking terrain, so when I saw someone build something like this I knew I had to do it myself. :)

I am guessing the table may not be correct as I know Khan was having issues with it yesterday. In looking at my build points (the only place I really earn points), my total is off. :) Week 1: 2 points total Stalker - 2 points Week 2: 17 points total Razorback - 2 points Sniper Scouts - 5 points Shotgun Scouts - 5 points Tactical Squad - 5 points Lieutenent - 0 points Week 3: 15 points total Captain - 0 points Centurions - 5 points Land Raider - 2 points 4 Dreads - 8 points Week 4: 22 points total Scout Squad - 5 points Scout Squad - 5 points Terminators - 5 points Ven Dread - 2 points Shrike - 0 points Assault Marines - 5 points Also, my fine bag of pretzels was missed :)

It seems silly to build a Shrike model without giving his some buddies with jump packs I was forced to violate my "only build from my stash" rule to add this unit. It seemed I did not have any regular assault marines squirreled away in a box somewhere. :)

This next model was another hard salvage I was "dread"ing. :) It was in rough shape and broken. Thoroughly addressing mold lines and sprue contact point becomes infinitely harder after a model was assembled by a drunk toddler.

here is a better picture of the skulls on the bases with rocks and sand

My initial thought was to run these Marines as a Raven Guard successor chapter, but then I started looking at Shrike in the SM codex. He looks pretty cool, so I decided to fully embrace my inner Corax. To do that, I need a Shrike :) The Vanguard Vet kit provided enough bits to build one!

I know they look barren now, but once I add rock / sand / grass they should look like the accent I am hoping for.

Basing has begun on what has been built....with skulls!

Hey, I found a sprue of Terminators....more stuff to build

Someday they will get painted :)

Time for two more 5 man Scout squads, one with heavy bolter and one with missile launcher :)

In my never ending quest to build more models, I bring you the four horsemen of the dreadpocalypse!

Here is a closer look at the Land Raider

Thanks to some doors from Sam, Operation Salvage Land Raider is complete (mostly) :)

This is my kind of post :) Sold! - Ordering now

My land raider salvage project has hit a roadblock...I have no side doors. Can anyone hook me up? :)

Let's see if this image works ....also, vehicle salvage is much harder than new assembly :)

Yes, it is from the Vanguard kit

I think I need a second HQ for this army:
