I am, I promise, catching up.
This mad project of keeping pace with the 40k Combat Patrol Magazine deliveries, painting everything and playing the games before the next delivery arrived, was always ambitious. Stopping it to paint a bunch of other stuff before Christmas didn't help, and neither did accepting every other thing that Hachette have offered me.
I'm now both late, and broke.
Anyway. This delivery, from... some time ago, was actually a relatively simple one - the only models were a Space Marine Terminators squad, but there were some extra paints and brushes which is always nice.

I'm pretty pleased with these! I stuck with the 2nd edition style of having these be brighter than modern astartes seem to be, and swapped to using Army Painter Highlord Blue for the weapons which comes out brighter than Citadel Ultramarines Blue.
Of course, you can't have "2nd edition" terminators without hazard stripes on the power fists, so I had a go at that too.
Having painted the models, I once again tracked down Kieron and went through the games in the magazines, and once again completely forgot what happened in them. But I did take some photos, so those are here now.
I will say that all of this is now starting to function as a complete game, and more rules are being explained allowing us to experience even more wild swings of balance based on which models are available with each issue of the magazine.
Ok, that's the end, and I've made basically no reference to the relevant film, so I'll put this here.
Perfect.
We need to.book in another game session to help you through this.
ReplyDeleteGame session, therapy session, certainly I need to be helped through it anyway
