Genericus the techmarine

 This techmarine is made from a lead devastator from 2nd edition, the powerfist comes from the betrayal at calth MKIV marines and the backpack was taken from the old lead enginseer. I decided to paint him in a neutral mechanicus scheme so he can be used with any chapter. The armour was drybrushed, a faster technique than highlighting and one that I'm keen to try again.

 The yellow cog is from the knight errant transfer sheet while the mechanicum skull is made from two skulls from the leman rus sheet

 RGB!

 I've also added some transfers to Imperius Tenebrus to reinforce her role of command titan

And of course the weekly virgin vs Chad meme

Void Crusaders

 Two more devastators to complete my spearhead detachment

Painting has improved, basing too?

Lander's hope

 With the shift of the war displaced to Maerdan itself the loyalists launched an attack on the central Agrology in order to gain the central position and strike freely against the traitors. Both legios clashed in the small farming comunity of Lander's Hope.

 The loyalists got the rescue the crew (red marker) objective while the traitors had to extract a cargo by the opposing board edge

 The crew waiting to be rescued

 Imperius Galgamech rushes to the rescue

 The traitors failed their shield saves with apalling rolls

 A lone warlord speds into the Legio Metalica zone, is the cargo inside?

 Another Mortis retreats backwards, a devious tactic?

 The crew is safely aboard

 Princeps Seniores Pentecost calls for a nuclear missile from the nearby moon, but it falls far from target and straight into Galgamech, the shields hold however

Anticipating the Mortis engine's move, both warlords aim to the place where she will be

Imperius Quintus charges an enemy engine

While Galgamech flees with the crew

Imperius Damnatio destroys her target aiming at the weak rear armur

The titan stumbles and falls

Quintus and Manus Mortis trade shots and swipes, ending with their torsos crippled

Now all Metalica engines turn to aim at the left flank

Galgamech secures the crew

The Mortis titan with the cargo nears the exit, all Metalicas fire and almost bring her down

The cargo is secured

Another titan gets into the deployment zone

Manus Mortis is destroyed by Imperius Quintus during the last combat phase

With the 6th turn over we count up VP and the imperials win 28 to 25, a close run thing!

Updated map: loyalists 2, traitors 0

Capitain Brasidas

 I've converted the Emperor's Champion into a captain from my custom space marine chapter , the void crusaders. A fleet based chapter with an unknown gene-progenitor that dresses much like the black templars but has a more pragmatic approach to warfare (namely bringing devastators instead of crusader squads in 8th games, and blowing stuff up from afar instead of charging blindly into the teeth of enemy fire). They are said to recruit on the Metalica Subsector, and in fact a number of youths disappear from the penal colony of Johannis each year.

Being brass Brasidas replaces the traditional yellow of the capter with gold, he also wields a custodes shield that was gifted to him for his efforts in a battle where he fought along the Emperor's pratorians.

He can also double up as Sigismund in heresy games, a potent HQ and in paper a better than Dorn.

 In other news my knight has racked up some impressive victories recently so I added two skulls (victory) and two crossbones (killed the enemy warlord) to his banner

Since he oneshot an eldar archon he deserved some marksman honours
