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....
