More LImp World Eater Progress

Posted on by spbdave

I have been steadily working away at painting my World Eaters for Legions Imperialis and over teh weekend have just clocked exactly 500 points fully painted. Here’s a nice little group shot photo or two to celebrate.

I am really enjoying painting these guys, and I feel like I have achieved a good chunk of a workable list. Not the greatest list, but should allow me to get a game or two in to understand where I should take it.

World Eaters, Legion Demi-company, 500pts
Formation Strength: 26, Break Point: 13

  • HQ: Legion Command Squad (1), 25pts
  • Support: Legion Terminator Detachment (4), 50pts
  • Core: Legion Tactical Detachment (8), 80pts
    • 2 Additional Plasma Support 15pts
    • 2 Additional Missile Support 20pts
    • x1 specialist: Apothecary 10pts
  • Core: Legion Tactical Detachment (4), 35pts
  • Transport: Legion Spartan Detachment (1), 70pts

LImp World Eater Progress

Posted on by spbdave

I’ve made a little progress since the start of the month with the World Eaters. I still need to glue the models to the bases. Maybe the drunken Dreadnoughts give that away.

I’m really enjoying painting these guys. Got a way to go before I get a Formation painted up though.

LImping Along

Posted on by spbdave

So the blog has been quiet for some time. Alas real life and hobby motivation both play massive roles in the frequency of blog posts. Pretty sure most hobbyists hit a certain age and suddenly find that work, family and life suck up all spare time. Still, I’ve been playing Bloodbowl pretty exclusively for a while now, which is simultaneously great and a shame. I’m not the biggest BB fan and don’t enjoy the game that much but because I’m in a great league ran by fantastic guys I’m really enjoying that aspect of the game. I should really finish painting up a damn team – afterall how hard can it be to paint 16 models or less!?!

However, a couple of the league guys have got interested in Legions Imperialis. And well I’ve been bitten hard by the hobby butterfly and have flitted back to a previous gaming mistress. I really enjoy Epic scale and I’m hoping it’ll become a future gaming staple (fingers crossed across all 3 games LImp, AT, and AI).

Imperial Nobility Linemen

Posted on by spbdave

About 4 years ago I wrote a blog post about assembling my Imperial Nobility Bloodbowl team (link). Now I have been playing in a Bloodbowl league for a little while now (The Chorbowl League), and while I will be the first to admit that I do not get on with this game, I do enjoy taking part in the league – that’s a real laugh. While it feels great to win and crap to lose, its teh taking part and playing games that I’m interesting in these days. Lovely, but why am I writing a blog post about these ‘Imp Nob’ guys then?

Well they are the team I am currently using in the league, and I am getting a bit of a reputation for not getting even a Bloodbowl team painted. So far I have failed to paint a Vampire team and a Black Orc team and I am half way through this season and still not finished painting the Nobs.

I did have to make some extra linemen and sort out an Ogre before my first match though. That’s what this post is about.

Mantic Armada Orc Fleet

Posted on by spbdave

This is not the post I was planning to publish next, it should have been Bloodbowl related (also posted back in June, but we won’t dwell on that). A chance conversation with a Bloodbowl player (Tim) in the league I am participating in turned into a mad dash to get a playable fleet to have a game of Armada with…and hence the opportunity for an out of the blue article. I wasn’t expecting to post about Armada again*, I did a review when I first received Armada back in November 2020. I had an initial bout of excitement and attempted to play a little intro/test game with my son (a bit young at the time really). I started assembling and converting some models but motivation dwindled and progress stalled.
