As promised, I've made a good start at converting my old space marine Land Raider into a Nurgley box of death. I'll post some pictures below.
Since finding a few more friends who are getting into the hobby I've been quite busy painting, reading and building a suitable army list. Cowboy has been expanding his Ork army with some new vehicles and troops, Brad has invested on a really cheesy Iyanden Eldar list and Stone is working on an equally cheesy all-terminator Dark Angels army. Another friend, Birdy, has invested in a new Tau army and Wolfy has been working on his Tau army as well. With Sye's Khorne themed Chaos Marines to top it all off, there are plenty of armies out there just dying to use my diseased space pirates for target practise.
In addition to all the new armies on the scene, I have been fortunate enough (thanks to Birdy) to come across a new hobby store in town. "Worcester Wargames" is a new store that stocks Games Workshop models without the irritating "buy something or get out" attitude of the actual Games Workshop store. It was here, on my first visit to Worcester Wargames, that I picked up some spare parts for a Chaos Land Raider for a modest price of £1.50.
Since then I have kitted the tank out and started painting it up in a wonderful grimy green. As usual, I can't contain my self to one project at a time, so I've also got my Plague Marines fully painted with a nice new Melta Gun to boot. Between coats of paint on the Land Raider I've also been trying to get the 3rd member of my 5 Possessed Marines fully painted too. Last but not least I've based ALL of my remaining models. My army is far for complete, but we are getting there.
What's next? Well, come payday I'm hoping to pick up Typhus, Host of the Destroyer Hive and if I'm really lucky maybe some Obliterators as well. Realistically speaking the last thing I need is another elite unit, but I am tempted to try and convert my Dark Vengeance Space Marine Terminators into gribbily Nurgle Terminators, either to accompany Typhus or to drive around in my new Land Raider.
I'm planning to host a large game this bank holiday Monday, teaming up with Wolfy's Tau forces to tackle Stone and Cowboy's Necron/Ork alliance. I'm also trying to set up a big free-for-all game with anyone who wants to come along. I'm hoping for a few more friends to take up the hobby with the opening of the new tabletop store, I know there's at least interested.
Well, that's all for now, I'll be sure to update when I've finished off the Land Raider and when/if I make a start on the Terminators. If there is anyone interested in joining our little troop and you live in the Westmidlands, drop me a line in the comments below.
