Phantom Titan of the Saim-Hann Pt.4

Well, just a small update on the progress of this beast... just color blends on the wings and head, started picking out the details on the left wing.

Phantom Titan of the Saim-Hann Pt.3

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything... and really not too much to show for it... :(

But I have been trying to finish this guy!

Slowly but surely he'll get done...

4000 Point Apocalypse Battle....

The Council advised the Great Autarch against moving two of the largest houses to defend the Maiden world "Summer's Blood". The Grand Chief's dream provoked this response, compelled him to send his craftworld to war.



What the Council didn't tell him was, as they cleansed the world of "monkeigh" an old brother sought to blood themselves as well. So swift through the Webway that little time was left to react.



As one of the webway runners returned, time was all but gone. The Kabal of the Black Heart neared. The Grand Chief could only muster his support reserve to stall the imminent attack. The Council knew when and where the Dark Kin would emerge, all they needed was to be ready. The Great Autarch was filled with sorrow, for he needed to disturb the spirit of his great Grandfather and call him to war once again. His twin cousins would have the honor of merging with their ancestor, and amend the past.


The stage was set, all that remained was to play out what the Seer Council saw...







The story continues....

Apocalypse Battle Report Intro....

Here is the intro to a 4000 pt Apocalypse Battle between the Dark Eldar and the Saim-Hann Eldar. The Dark Eldar had taken a few formations, the carnival of pain (something like that), the Raider formation, and the Ravager titan killer formation.
I had only the SunStorm formation as I had a very small army.... Titan used most of my points....

Warlock pt.2

This model is not for the Seer Council, he rides with my other Jetbike squad. The model is a pretty simple conversion: saw in half, saw off arm, glue on Jetbike rider arm & legs, greenstuff robes & rune.

I may make a mold of the hood for the rune, as I need more for the Seer Council... sculpting is not my strong suit....

Seer Council: Farseer

Here is another Farseer on Jetbike. I've decided not to sculpt robes on him, as it doesn't feel logical that they would wear them into battle.





It's not a terribly difficult conversion, head and weapon swap, some greenstuff...






The whole Council will be wearing feathers. Would furs and such be too much?






He also has the traditional Farseer Helm detail...

Phoenix Bomber of the Saim-Hann...

So I entered the Oval base Contest that Bell of Lost Souls & IronHalo where having this month. Here is what I sent in for it...





The base is mostly as it is sold by IronHalo, with the addition of GW static grass. The "celtic" stones where painted turquoise to give it an alien feel.













The New Flyer stem fits the base well.

Saim-Hann Battle Report...

Well the good fellas at MiniWarGaming posted two vids from their 40K tourney. I'm still kicking my own arse for not bringing my camera....



There is a second vid but you need to log into the Miniwargaming site for it.

I got real lucky in that game, when the dice are your friend and you have a unit with fortune.... can be frustrating for your opponent. I also got luck near the end of the game as I forced the farthest Tau unit to fallback off the Objective. If I failed in that it would have been a tie game.
