The Fate of Konor: Mu'gulath's Revenge!

With the Fate of Konor campaign kicking off today, I'm embarking on a new project, which should run alongside the campaign. I'm aiming to have a 1000 point army done by the time the campaign ends.

My T'au army is currently being reforged as the survivors of Mu'gulath Bay. Right now there are only suits and drones in the army:

Really need to adjust the background for this

I'm also not too happy about the overall colour scheme. So I will be starting from scratch. The theme is blue... as all I have to go on is this picture:

t'au tau fate of konor mugulath mu'gulath bay army

Whilst clearly an Ultramarines blue, I'm going to alter it a bit to a Thousand Sons blue. I also want to get some infantry going, so I'll begetting some Firewarriors. I'm usually opposed to putting foot soldiers into the field if a battle suit is available, but I think the survivors of Mu'gulath Bay would be willing to risk everything to get some revenge.

For those who don't know, at the end of Warzone Damocles, the T'au campaign focused in and around the Damocles Gulf centered on Mu'gulath Bay (or Agrellan to your Imperials), the Imperial command was beaten back by a combination of stiff T'au resistance and Commander Farsight dropping in to save everyone.

Whilst the Imperium managed to strike severe blows, killing key Ethereals with assassins and even wounding Farsight himself, they retreated from the planet. And when the Imperium retreats from a planet they only do one thing: Exterminatus.

Not only that, but the Adeptus Mechanicus set off some arcane missiles which set the entire Damocles Gulf on fire! This made travel through that area of space very difficult, and may have contributed to the Great Rift spreading across the Eastern fringe of the galaxy.

So you can see the T'au survivors of Mu'gulath Bay (somehow protected by Earth caste shields) would have every reason to land on Konor, and start shooting Space Marines.

But enough of that. Let's get today rolling! Off to the shop for my marching orders and to get the models!

Until next time... I mean later today!

Primaris Space Marine Paint Planner

The good chaps over at Games Workshop marketing have just released a bit of fluff on the Ultima Founding, the latest crop of Space Marine chapters. These are all based around the Primaris Space Marines, so expect your current Marines to fade away. Again, not a bad thing, as it's just a shift to True Scale Space Marines that still lets you play with your old stuff whilst you transition. To help you buy their new models, Games Workshop have also given you a nifty line drawing of a Primaris Space Marine, so you can plan your new Chapter. Now I'm certain they didn't intend to add all those little gaps in the lines making it hard for you to use simple drawing editors to plan your marines on computer, nor did they realise how difficult it would be to do so on .pdf format. So I fixed it for them. Here's the same thing with the gaps filled in, and in easy to edit .jpeg format. Don't worry Gee Dubs... Tabletop Teacher's got your back! UPDATE: The .jpeg was...

The Complete Blood Angels Beginner Guide: Troops

Love them or hate them, you're not building an effective army without them. Your rank and file are the soul and centre of your army, and as such, these will be the only one's I will discuss in detail in the Beginner Guide... otherwise we'll be here until The End Times. At the end of the discussion, I will give you my opinion as to which Troop unit to try first. It should also be said, that if you don't like a faction's Troop options, you probably shouldn't collect that faction. You will have more of these units than anything else in a balanced force, so you will need to be happy seeing them all the time. Image from Warhammer Community I've bought the codex, and have done some hefty reading. The Blood Angels have three options available to them for Troops; Tactical Squads, Intercessor Squads and Scout squads. Many have preferences for each one, but there is no dud unit to be had here. They may not be as exciting as other factions, but each is very...

Painting Guide: Blood Angels, perfecting the colour scheme

Image
Looking for some tips on getting the best out of your Sons of Sanguinius? Want some simple ways of making your Blood Angels look good without having to get an art diploma first? Well let's get started then, and show you how to paint this Blood Angels Intercessor Space Marine. Blood Angels were one of my first armies in 40K, and a favourite of many a neophyte and veteran alike. Their red colour scheme, along with Dark Angels Green and Ultramarines Blue, is one of the standard newbie palettes that can look good with only a little bit of skill. Like the others in that little triumvirate, it still has ways you can tweak it to be really great looking on table top. What I've done here is nothing more than the standard Games Workshop recommended paint scheme, with some tweaks and tips to get to that 'eavy metal stage. I often see people copying what comes out of the Citadel Paint App or Duncan's videos, and never quite getting these results (usually darker withou...
