Bastogne War Museum

The doors of the renovated Bastogne War museum are finally open. A visit was definitely in order. Highly impressed (there is so much to see) I managed to take a few pictures. I can recommend you to go take a look for yourself if you have the opportunity.

Word Bearers 40K army

This is my army for 40K, that I will present you bit by bit. I've started these models a long time ago (second edition) just for the sake of painting and converting. The army did evolute with every new edition. New models and new conversions were added to form what I have today (around 2500pts).
As a start : Dreadnought, Obliterators and possessed.

Thanks for watching :) 

Inquisitor Warband

Hi guys,

The idea for an inquisitor warband for Necromunda has triggered me for some time. I always liked the looks and the variety of these models, and it seemed so cool to field a handful of these characters into the domes of the Underhive. The starting band is composed of an inquisitor, a rogue trader, a possessed, an acolyte and a Deathwatch space marine.

Hope you like it.

Necromunda AAR - The Raid - Escher vs Spyrers

After being completely thrashed in an ambush by the Eschers, we played a raid scenario where the infamous girls were the attackers. My Spyrers had to defend a generator that contained some archeotech. The skirmish was set in a dome that contained long shadows, enabling models to run and hide in the same turn. The Eschers also had two infiltrators in their gang, perfect to engage my sentries in a quick manner.

An infiltrated Anita charged the surprised Saïsha theYakara.  She could parry her assailant and survive the attack.

At the same time, another infiltration charge occurred.  Spirit, the Ratskin, also failed to win the engagement. Both sentries alerted, the alarm broke out.

On top of the central building, the Spyrers taking position.

On a lower level the fight continued. Anita will be put out of combat and left knocked out on the ground.

Renée, the Eschers heavy aimed and hit the objective with a frag missile, wounding the Yeld in the process. Luckily for him, he could take a blow and was only pinned. After the smoke cleared, the generator was unscathed.

 Nikita fired her lasgun to the coriaceous Yeld, but he took only a light wound.

Argus stood directly on his feet and returned fire. Under suppression, the Escher had to dive for cover.

Rihanna failed her bolter shots on the other side. Things were not going as predicted for the Eschers.

Kira, the gang leader, had went trough ventilation shafts and appeared on top of the central building.

Her automatic pistol shots did hit the Malcadon. Dodging for the bullets he did fall two storeys lower.
 Kira saw the rest of the Spyrer gang coming close for revenge. She did opt to live another day and fleed through the vents she came in, leaving the victory to the hunters from the Spyre.
