The Deployment:
I had my Havocs and Batteries around Abaddon. My opponents did the same with their Centurions sitting next to Girly-man and Pedro.

I kill both Repulsors, Redemptor Dreadnought, the Rhino, some Devastators with Plasma cannons and some Hellblasters.

Space Marines Turn 1:
I lose the laser batteries, Scorpion and one of the Bloodthirsters.

Chaos Space Marines Turn 2:
I kill the bikes, Predator, Land Speeder and the squad inside the Rhino and some Terminators. I lose both Bloodthirsters, one dies in overwatch and the other was killed by Girly-man.

Space Marines Turn 2:
Renegade Knight Porphyrion, most of the Havocs die and one Lord of Skulls gets some wounds.

Chaos Space Marines Turn 3:
I killed one more Terminator, took down 2 flyers and killed the last Land Speeder.

Space Marines Turn 3:
All my Havocs die, so did the Cultists and I lose one Lord of Skulls.

Chaos Space Marines Turn 4:
I forgot to take pictures, but nothing happened. Everything was saved by my opponents.

Space Marines Turn 4:
Abaddon dies and one Rhino bites the dust.

Chaos Space Marines Turn 5:
Yet again I cannot get close to the Centurion blob.


Space Marines Turn 5:
They kill a Rhino.


Game ends Space Marines 16 - 12 Chaos Space Marines.
We played for 7-8 hours. It was nice to be able to bring so many big guys they were no match for Girly-man and Centurions.

Sector Imperialis Objectives


I received a box of Sector Imperialis Objectives to base and paint.
I copied with milliput some base decorations and glued them on 40mm bases.

Re-painting a cat statue


I bought this statue of a cat but I didn't like how it was painted. Below you can see the original paint job.

Blood Bowl - Human Team


I got back my human team from painting and they look great.

I added numbers on their backs.
 Added grass to the base.
 Then I painted a white line on some of the bases.

Hellforged Leviathan Dreadnought - Purchased

I ordered from the Chinese again and I received a perfect re-cast of a Hellforged Leviathan Dreadnought. This time it took 6 weeks for the pack to arrive but the price difference is worth the wait. Miniature arrived in perfect condition, almost no mold lines and easy to assemble.
Now I'm waiting for the arms to arrive. I ordered 2 x Grav-Flux Bombard. To all enemies of Chaos: FEAR HIM!!
