The Archangels: Part 4

Of all the Blood Angels, I like the background of Mephiston the most. This talented and noble warrior fighting in the biggest battle of his life on Armageddon, but falling victim to the Black Rage, and eventually being buried alive under tonnes of rubble. Instead of dying though, he was literally so pissed off, he beat off the psychotic madness of the Rage, and in a proper Hulk-Smash moment, burst free from tonnes (yes tonnes!) of rock as an even more superhuman version of the already superhuman Marines...

But, whilst there are some very good bits, the old metal model really doesnt do him justice (God, that should be a slogan or something...) since it is hampered by the technology of the day, and has a broom up its arse.
(plus, really didn't suit the complete powerhouse the new 'dex turned him into...)

So, ready for this?

I built my own.

Inauguration Day

To take inspiration from certain film, "Now I have a Blog-Gun, Ho Ho Ho...

So, yeah. I'm trying this out, at the suggestion of a good 'net buddy of mine, and who knows where it will go. Firstly, about me. Like a significant percentage of UK-based pre-teen boys, I was introduced to Games Workshop at the age of 10, started "collecting" (now, I use that term loosely. If you can call "scrounging money of my parents to buy soldiers to then smother them in paint, then yes, I collected), and subsequently stopped collecting.

I never lost interest though. It was always in the back of my mind, like a pervasive mental itch. Older, wiser gamers than myself call it "The Bug", and rarely speak of it. 

Anyway, onto more present days. Started a new army, Tyranids, 3rd edition. Finished it around the time 4th edition came out. Happily found out that the army I had put together with virtually no clue suddenly was very very powerful, and proceeded to game the days away. Then 5th ed happened. I stopped the Nids, throwing the typical tantrum based on "My army was so good, now they want me to spend £400 to get it back up to the same competetive level! Go away"

Then I started 7th ed Fantasy. And oh boy, this was a new world. Straight away, I was drawn to the brand new Vampire Counts. Dark, menacing, brooding, evil in a way Peter Cushing could only dream of. Oh yeah, I was hooked. I now am the very proud owner of around 7000 points of Vampys, and whilst I would love to go back and re-do the whole army, The Bug had been fed, and he wanted moar...
