And then there were four! Full detachment of Horus Heresy Militia Leman Russ now ready and finalised with transfers.
Had a lot of fun here working on unit markings, building a pseudo-command tank and generally adding texture to some very old, flat, models.

What's fun is as of four years ago, we have a very good idea of how they *could* make something better than that Vect, based on the Lord of Gluttony model from the Hedonites of Slaanesh. Same vibes, different execution.
Just need to wait for the Dark Eldar's turn to bat for model range refreshes.

I had been purposefully trying not to learn about Pluribus before watching, but I'm thrilled to see it's from *this* Vince Gilligan.
Deeply unsettling sci-fi and a perfect lead performance, with some great cinematography.

What's especially odd about this one is that these models are being released as part of a book that is *explicitly* about the actions of the new Chaos character for TOW.
Her name is Frydaal the Chainmaker.
So it's not even like there's a faction-wide mandate not to have options.

Managed to find a treat for my last Leman Russ of my Imperial Militia detachment. One of the original Sprue layouts with all the free space and even more fiddly track designs.
The difference between this and the ones just released for Heresy is staggering.

Been rescuing retro Leman Russ designs from eBay and trying to fix them up for my Militia, and realising the 2nd edition Guard codex has a guide for using them gives me a perfect excuse to make use of these old transfers too - for the retro feel.

Picked up a bunch of second hand Iron Hands rhinos that had been primed and then just lightly dry brushed - so tested retrofitting them to my Fists' colours without repainting everything.
Broadly happy, so now I just need to build a bunch of stowage for the roofs.

Proof of concept for my Imperialis Militia Cavalry now ready, returning from a rat horse to a normal horse!
I don't know if I can justify converting too many of these, especially in the numbers that Heresy can justify, but this one was satisfying to finish off.

Games Workshop have spent time in the last few years reframing their work as part of four or five different hobbies you can enjoy - but they've always left off the secret final aspect the community brings to the table: Complaining.

Weekend project, applying the tools learned from the Praetor to the Saturnine Dreadnought - and I think it's come along well!
Lorewise, Ancient Burkhard is the core the Beta Garmon Survivors have gathered around, so him stepping on a statue of Horus felt apt.

Second Battle Mode is the key phrase here - it's a patent on the system where you can either engage in a player input-led battle directly, or have your "sub character/pokemon" engage in fights without your input at all.

Galvanised by new rules, my Horus Heresy Militia now have a finished Grenadier Command and Force Commander.
The latter of which is a decade old conversion pressed back into service, alongside some more recent kitbashes.

Reworked my Heresy Militia list under the new rules - only loss is the Navigator, but otherwise 194 models hits just under 3000pts across combined arms of tanks, artillery, mass infantry, elite infantry and horses.
And most of it is built and painted!

Been working on some more tests for trooper builds and schemes for Imperialis Militia for 30k (that can double up for 40k)
I think this Rogue Trader inspired Imperial Army scheme has legs, it's shocking how much the yellow and red heraldry really make it pop.

Finally finished up my second full unit of Imperial Militia - another 60 brings us up to 125 across two troops and a HQ choice, which is a tad absurd.
With this core, should hopefully be ready for whatever the Militia list looks like in Horus Heresy 3.0.

The point isn't wrong, Hulst isn't talking about fun games.
Because this quote is taken from the investor fireside chat, he's not talking to players. And that's just how listed companies work and have always worked. Here's Activision in their heyday in 2001 with the same thing.

Been building up my Lord Solar proxy for my Tanith in Lord Executor Gaunt - think I've worked out a way to get the height to match the sword without just building a tower for the group.
