And so it began...

It was after my Imperial Knights that I decided make a start on my World Eaters.

Now as mentioned previously the photos taken were not as frequent as when a made and painted my fists. So in a massive post about the size of the Eiffel Tower here are my World Eaters up to date. Almost....

The back packs and shoulder pads were all primed and painted separately to the main bodies. First in black then the blue layers. The was pretty fiddly and a pain in the butt when there was over 40 sets to do.

My Red Butchers. 


The army started to grow. 


Legion Sicaran Battle Tank



The start of Khârn.

Couple of dead guys from Angron's Base which I shamefully have not painted up fully yet.
Also a Dreadclaw drop pod in the back ground, this was a real pain to build and paint. Had problems with it fitting together well and gaps. Painting was a chore, I put it down to doing the same paint scheme on 5 sides. Game wise though the Dreadclaw is awesome!







I painted each shoulder pad set to fit each individual marines. This was a major task and I think I was off my head a little to do this for 40+ marines!

The internals of the Spartan. Unlike previously with my Fists Land Raider I just painted this interior pretty basic as there really is no point going to town on it when it will not be seen even though I left the front door so it can be opened.

A couple of Space Marines my daughters painted. The one on the left was done by my 8 year old(at the time)  and the blue by my 4 year old. Me: "You WILL LIKE WARHAMMER!"



Clamping up the Spartan, these saved a ton of effort and pain.




Mars pattern Rhino. I really do prefer the Demios pattern Rhino but this one is cheaper and wanted it for the start of a campaign that was run towards the back end of last year.






Angron almost complete.

The Storm Eagle. What a pain in the backside this was to build. The main panels were pretty badly warped, nasty mold slip at the back and the surfaces for fixing the main body together are way too small which makes it a nightmare to get together. So far this has been the worst model to build up didn't really enjoy it.



My poor attempt at rectifying bad mold slip and uneven surfaces.




Angron complete minus his display base.

My Rampager squad. These guys look great but game wise are naff. Overpriced and never seem to pack a punch. I stuck jump packs on them before playing them as thought this may help them but naaa not really. Shame becasue i love how the look.



This guy is my Consul Champion. He came about after i got a massive whooping from the Ulramarines during a campaign game (who'd of thought!) basically the Storm Eagle containing Angron and his Red Butchers was shot down and crashed and burned with receiving S10 AP2 hits it was upsetting to say the least. I still have nightmares!

Poor photo of him complete.


My wonky turreted Sicaran Battle Tank. I dropped the turret and fell in pieces then I glued it back together not obviously not paying much attention and stuck them on wonky :(.




A few battery tealight candle smoke markers I made, cheap and cheerful!


My Cataphractii Terminator squad. These guys are my anti armour and mince through any tank with the chainfists!



Aaaaand here is my Storm Eagle. Pretty happy with the end result even if it doesnt last long in games. I magnatised the lascannons/missiles on the front and equipped a Heavy Bolter on the front.








Marines prior to bloodying and dirtying up!

This photo brings me almost up to date. 40 marines awaiting their final purity seal. At this time my original army is complete :O

I will at some point get around to taking a few better photos of my World Eaters army.

Knight knight.

My Imperial knights were next on my painting list. At first I was going to go with house Hawkshroud to match my Fists. The problem with using Hawkshroud as my house was that I had no decals. The only place I could find them was eBay and they were over priced. So I decided to make my own house.

House Krake was born!

Now the name isn't really at all original. I decided up on a Kraken as a theme with the tenticals n all. So that's where the name comes from. I then decided I on a green/blue colour and used Stegafon Scale Green as a base then layered up from there.

I decided that fluff wise the planet that this house belonged to was primarily a water world with artificial lands thus the sea monster theme fit. Aaaaand that's as far as I got fluff wise. I may expand on it in the future. Who knows.

Anyway here are a load of photos with some progress. I think I may have lost a few photos of the build some how.

The last of the Fists 👊

The last of the fists that were completed before I started my Imperial Knights and the world eaters.

My Terminator assault squad:



When I originally built these I painstakingly magnetised each marking for the different weapon options. And after arms kept falling off I realised it was mor hassle than it really was worth. Especially seeing as they don't last too long in game. 

Warhammer World!!!

This place!!!! This place is amazing. I cannot describe how good it is. If you can get there go.

It was my birthday and I decided kind of on the spur of the moment to take a trip here and I am so glad I did. I will endeavour to go here this year as well.

The staff are all spot on, the shops are awesome, the exhibition I could of spent hours in, there's the tables and then Bugmans bar Wow!!

I also picked up a few stuff (spent a small fortune 😳) which included the start of my World eaters army and the limited edition hq tanks (which I still shamefully haven't painted).

Anyway here are a few photos from the day:



That's me happy as Larry.












Time doesth fly...

Right I am going to attempt to summon up the past 7 or so months in one foul sweep! (Or a few posts)  Pictures are not as numerous as before. I put this down to me rushing them for a summer campaign that started in June so I just didn't stop to take progress photos.

Anyway the few Imperial Fist pictures I have have not been added to the blog. 

I finished my Grav amp centurions and the lascannon centurions. Not bad but not as good as my first lot and the lascannon centurions wear really rushed and it can be seen in the quality . I swore never to paint another set of Centurions again at the time. Now though (7 months later) I think I would have another go at these but would not buy them pre built as this is what makes it hard to paint the details well.

The Eaters of Worlds.....

Been another age since I updated the blog once again and all my dear fans *cough me reading it in the future* will be ecstatic to find that I am not at all dead but alive and painting *cheer*



A fair bit has happened since the last update way back in may. I started a new army which was 30k World Eaters. I still have my fists and they are going nowhere but for the past 3 to 4 months I have just been playing my world eaters.

I shall try and get up to date with what I have since the last blog update. There's a fair bit including a trip to Warhammer World (Awsome!) finished my knights and al my eaters of worlds. Unfortunately I did not take many pictures of my progress on my World Eaters so will only be able to show the finished product.

But anyway it's getting late and I need sleep.


Blood for the blood god and all that :D
