List-Building in 30k 2e: The Ultramarines

 I have amassed a large collection of Ultramarines for the 30k mileau.  How does the new edition affect my army list? Substantially.

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy (Second Edition)

 I caved and bought the Age of Darkness boxed set when it came out.  I probably shouldn't have, but that's in the past.  But I have all three of the books out so far; the rules, the Traitor Legions army book, and the Loyalist Legions army book.  Let's dive in.

Raising the Legion: Week 8

Huzzah!

Raising the Legion: Week 7

It certainly doesn't look like progress this week, but I'm actually excited.

Raising the Legion: Week 6

More paintin's.  And more painting.  Not much to see!

Raising the Legion: Week 5

Sometimes life and a lack of motivation get in the way.

Raising the Legion: Week 4

Has it really been a whole month since I started this thing?

Raising the Legion: Week 3

I figure 'Raising the Legion' would be a better title for the series because it has become readily apparent that 12,000 points was only the starting point.

Raising the Legion: Week 2

Honestly all I really did was paint this week.  There isn't much to show for that and the miniatures aren't completed yet.

Raising the Legion: Week 1

A summary of the week.

Feeling Conflicted About 40k Rules Sets

I've been wondering to myself lately about the things I like about Warhammer 40,000 8th edition and what I liked about prior editions.  Specifically I'd like to play with my Horus Heresy-era stuff, but I can't seem to bring myself to go back to how 7th Edition WH40k played.  I'm not sure if it is because I felt like 7e was work to play, the players I played made it feel onerous, or if I'm genuinely dissatisfied with how it worked.

A Week in Miniatures: September 5th to September 19th

Well, okay, it was two weeks.  Most of which was spent assembling things because of a nasty chest cold.

A Week In Miniatures: August 22nd to August 28th.

So here's another week in which I accomplished very little!

A Week In Miniatures: July 18th to July 24th

Well, honestly this past week is the first time in the last three that I've sat down and seriously worked on some miniatures.

A Week In Miniatures: June 27th to July 3rd

Hey hey, it's Independence Day for those of us in the United States.  Not to get too political on this blog, but take a moment to think about your elected representatives and whether or not they actually represent you.  At least you have a way to make your voice heard. The original thirteen colonies got taxes passed on them by the British Crown with no legally elected representatives in the British government; the colonists went to war over it.  Just some food for thought as you enjoy your July 4th holiday.
As usual, I'll see you after the jump cut.

A Week in Miniatures: June 20 to June 26

I've been remiss in getting these entries done.  So let's catch up with everything since June 6th...

Horus Heresy Ultramarines

So this past week I realize I have a ridiculous number of models I plan to use for Heresy-era Ultramarines.  I'll break this down into what I can actually field now in terms of assembled models, and then models I know I have but haven't assembled.  Mostly in terms of full squads or HQs I'm actually working on.

A Week in Miniatures: April 8-15 2016

Originally I was going to write a daily post about the miniatures I work on, but that seems a little too much in my opinion.  So I'm going to summarize what I did every Friday instead!
