Firstly my family bought me a a hell cannon for Christmas and of course I couldn’t leave it in the box, so out it came and I had to play test it!!! My brother and I had several games over the holidays and we posted the results on you tube. Truly cringe TV (link: http://www.youtube.com/user/WargamingForFun?feature=mhum )
Secondly, I am going to get together with some of my mates some time in February and play in a 1000 point mini league. As my son already has a Blood Angels army I have decided to start a Dark Angels army to avoid having two armies of the same type in the league.
I have always found the look of the Dark Angels and Black Templar marines appealing. I think that the robes add character.
I was intending to customise the look of the basic marines, using blades and weapons included on the usual sprue.
In order to get the poses below I have mainly cut and re-glued wrists shoulders and elbows. My intent was to make the troops look like they are readying for close quarter combats.
Two pictures of a marine with a blade behind his back ready to slice incoming enemy.
Cant see fix on the telescopic vision!
Hide the bolter behind you and maybe they'll think it's a knife fight.
Feel free to comment and offer advice.
