Games Day Baltimore 2010

Gamesday has come and gone! It was a blast once again! Not only did we have a lot of fun running our club events, I also loaded up on some FW goodies that I hope to employ with my imperial guard forces in the near future! The Club wasn't lucky enough to win any awards this year, but our events were non stop action from the time the doors opened till we closed down at the end of the day.....

So...where did those Valhallans end up at you ask. Well HERE they are! the final cut of the Hunt for the Red Orktoba, with the Orktoba and its masses of orks! Check out the finished event, and now I am the proud owner of a fully painted Valhallan army. Another army finished, it feels great!







Another honor for the club we discovered was that our award winning Firewarrior armor and our banner from last year made the Gamesday Program flyer this year.



Meanwhile I was asked to join the staff of our Aeronautica Imperialis event. Chaos vs Imperial air forces dueled for dominance of the skies. I can say that the imperial forces were successful in disabling the Chaos Landcarrier in the event, giving the Imperial Navy the win for the day!







A good time was had by all! I'll leave all the games day news to those other blogs that specialize in that field...for me it was all about getting in some games and getting people interested in the games we play. 1 imperial guard army down...next on the platter....Grey Knights I think....

Enjoy! =)

Baltimore Games Day 2010: The Hunt for the Red Orktoba!

This year the Ineptus Astartes asked me to paint up a 2K Valhallan Guard army for our main 40K event "The Hunt for the Red Orktoba". Well I am not a known speed painter and I only had 2 and a half months to crank out a pure infantry army. After much snarking and growling at the local battle bunker(it's true ask them!), I present my fully painted Valhallan Ice Warrior force. The force is based on the guard army of the cover of Planetstrike which featured a Valhallan army facing down an Eldar invasion. I really liked the cream colored scheme, and have attempted to copy it to my army. The army comes close to 140 models, and I was also able to talk two of my friends into loaning me the Imperial Naval support for the army.....Well here it is...finished and ready to roll out....

Games Day 2010 Project (Part 10)

Well this will be the last update of this project. Gamesday is less then a week away, and all is ready. I made some last minute changes to the list, like taking out the banner and swapping it for some bodyguards. We ran the event a few times and found that the company banner was not that useful after all for this game. I also dragooned a few friends to provide my army with some imperial navy support. As you might have seen before, the Valk Gunship from one of my friends will make an appearance, along with a very special Thunderbolt variant. The tally list is complete, and in my next update I will feature the complete army as it will be seen at Gamesday!


The final piece...Assault weapons!


The Colonel and his Bodyguards, purple sashes for the Praetorian Guard.


Coming to a battlefield near you....The Red Barron!

Enjoy! =)
