Imperial Fist Update

Since my last post I have been able to pick up the resin casts my friend Alex has printed for me. I have also received some of the excellent (FoW) bases from Warbases.co.uk. 

I wasn't too happy with the scatter material from Woodland scenics, their gravel looked too much like carpark gravel, rather than the war torn cities of the 30th millennium. I painted the bases with Agrax Earthshade and then dry-brushed them with Screaming Skull, which I think has done the job to a presentable wargames standard.

IMPERIOUS DOMINATUS: Warfare in the Age of Horus and Dark Imperium

So since my last post I have been scouring the internet for Net Epic Gold army lists for the Horus Heresy. Facebook is an extremely helpful place at times and someone pointed in the direction of a NetEpic group who have already produced a substantial amount of material for Horus Heresy based on the original Epic rules and their subsequent versions. I haven't play tested the rules yet, but hope to do so at some point over the summer.

In the meantime I have been building a new Adeptus Astartes force - Imperial Fists. I have managed to paint a Grand tactical company and am now working through ten more Rhinos, eighteen Land Raiders and two super heavy tanks from Vanguard miniatures. I have also fabricated some pennants  for the Command stands.
