Greetings from the Amber Valley, despite being full of cold, my mammoth assembly job has started.
I'm working on the Dreadnought first, which fits together cleanly and has minimal mould lines to remove and absolutely zero flash to eliminate.
I'm going to give it a Power Fist and Assault Cannon combo, though I'll probably magnetise the arms so I can try other combos later.
Next up will be 10 Bolter armed Marines in MK IV armour, not sure about the Termies yet as I'm not a fan of the models, but we'll have to see how it goes.
I will do some pictures at some point, but at the moment the whole bench just looks like Sprue Mountain.
Bad news is the Forgeworld HH books are showing as O/P which slows my plans down a little,
may just have to buy vehicles I know I can use until I can knock together an actual list
More soon if the glue fumes don't get me

The Peril of Yellow
Greetings from the Amber Valley !
After a swift trip to my local Gaming supply emporium, a lovely place that serves fine Coffee and has a charming host and hostess, I returned home with a suitably large Box of Plastic swag to start my Imperial Fists.
Yule tide frivolity has prevented me getting any actual work done today, but the long conversation I had with my soon to be opponent, have proved that I need to re-jig my rough army list slightly.
20 man Tactical squads, egad, it's a nightmare !
I'm hampered slightly by not having either rules or actual Heresy era army list yet, though both are on the way.
So I may content myself with a small amount of assembly, and a test model of the colour scheme until they arrive.
The 'plan' is to try for a first game in the New Year with a couple of squads to help us master the rules, though that may change depending on other domestic factors, and how fired up we both get by the project.
All very exciting, freed of the shackles of the 40k universe, and specifically the need to paint everything Red (good bye Blood Angels, it's been emotional) I'm really looking forward to this next phase of gaming

New Coat of paint
Greetings from the Amber Valley, new site, new blog, and hopefully a slightly more focused ramble through the rusty corridors of my aged brain.
Watch as I struggle to start ,and possibly finish my Imperial Fists 30k army, in a time span that hopefully doesn't make Glaciers look a bit nippy.
Oh yeah, and I'm gonna learn 7th edition 40k, and play some games too, it's madness, madness I tell you.
More as soon as I figure out what all the buttons do.
