Stormtalon – Ravenwing wip 2

Managed to get a most of the basic color on along with a some washes. At first when I thought of painting black, I wasn't too sure as I always thought black looks kinda dull on small models. But actually, there's a fair amount of detail to this small little model. I know a lot of folks out there aren't really digging this design but I'm already growing to love it. My bet is that this unit will def. be included into the upcoming dark angels codex for the ravenwing. That being a high possibility, I can imagine doing a whole lot of conversions to include them into my growing DA army.

Dark Angels - 3rd battle company WIP

Part of my 3rd battle company of my Dark Angels army are in the newer mark armors. After the destruction of Caliban, many of the forces loyal to the primarch Lion El Jonson suffered terrible loses against their own Calabanite kin. These veterans have been tested in battle so much so that some of their power armor is beyond repairable. As Dark Angels adhere to traditions in the most orthodox manners, these battle brothers have no choice but to don the less ornamental modern power armor. These models are part of the first warhammer models I have ever painted. Thats why the texture seems a bit rough... They've been repainted over atleast 3 times over the years.

Stormtalon – Ravenwing wip 1

I really like the idea of aerial units as an addition to the game. I know at this point, aside from the space marine codex, no other marine armies can use these units. Since I’ve been collecting dark angels since I first got into the hobby, I’ve amassed a fair amount of ravenwing as well. I can proxy these models in for a white scars army.

Storm Talon Gunship customized WIP

I've slightly modified the Storm Talon by reducing the bulk of the missile pods and the assault cannon on the front. I've done this by removing a lot of the pivot mechanism of the assault cannon and I trimmed down the stalks on which the missile pods are mounted. It makes the whole model look more streamlined and a little less front heavy but in doing so I've put my own blood into succeeding (last photo)!

An Introduction to Basic Mathammer


It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on this blog and it’d undoubtedly be extinct if it wasn’t for the die-hard gamerage of J-hova and Ethrion. So after a long pause, here’s the first tactica I’ve written in quite a while:

An introduction to Mathammer:

Quite a few people I know have told me they put no stock in Mathammer and think people who do it are silly. Usually they say this because they can’t be bothered with it and are jealous of people who can. Well with this guide it’ll be easy for all of you!

Simple Equations:

Back to school kiddies and time to remember your times tables. Think about the answer and then highlight the area between the brackets with your mouse cursor to see if you’re correct:

If you roll 1 dice, what is the likelihood that it will roll a 4,5 or 6?                  ( 50% )

If you roll 2 dice, what will their sum total be on average?             ( 7 )

If you roll 12 dice, how many 1’s will you on average roll?              ( 2 each )

If you roll 6 dice, how many of them will roll a 3, 4, 5, 6 on average?          ( 4 )

If you roll 6 dice, remove any that roll a 1 or a 2, then roll the remainder again and remove any that roll a 1, 2 or 3, how many dice will remain?              ( 2 )

If you roll 9 dice, remove any that roll a 1 or a 2, then roll the remainder again and remove any that roll a 1, 2 or 3, then roll the remainder again and remove any that roll a 3, 4, 5 or 6, how many will remain?           ( 1 )

10 tactical marines shoot another squad of space marines with their boltguns. Two of the marines only have bolt pistols, giving them 18 shots. How many of the other squad of marines will they kill?   ( 2 )
