Never skip a leg day...

 

Isn't she beautiful ?

 

I am, hopefully understandably, quite excited.  Astor Tyrannis looks quite beautiful in the hands of the Fabricator General.  Reaver 3623 looks set to walk a lot sooner than I had anticipated.

Blogomancy !

 Having published a post about the sad demise of 40K blogging, I received a number of comments which I chose to perceive as evidence that there is an audience for Devos IV, even if it does not producce weekly updates on the Devos IV campaign as there once were.  

There are a couple of pulls, IMHO: the pictures of lovely toys (like the warp runners re-shown here).  The background discussions about the Imperial war machine and the Imperial Guard.  I flatter myself that the occasional line up of my Imperial Guard (needs a fine weekend and a friend or two who are familiar with the Organisation and Disposition [force organisation chart] of the Imperial Guard).  And of course, perhaps that things which have had the kindest feedback, the ongoing story of the campaign to re-claim a low population, mostly agrarian wannabe shrine world.  

 

So my heartfelt thanks to those who responded.  The kindness of fellow bloggers has always amazed and encouraged me.   I have even had an open invitation to the other side of the Altantic, which is pretty kool.  I might start squirreling the odd shekel in anticipation.  

I will move the advance the story a bit - there will an airborne assualt on a necropolis in the south of Xyphonica as the Imperial Guard seek to breakthough into the ancient basilica district.  And the helter skelter pursuit of 'leakers' across the prarie by rough riders as the systematic artillery and infantry assaults continue to squeeze the defenders into an ever increasingly tight couldron. 

And of course as the death toll rises, so the Khornate Blood Mages trapped within are able to place ever more pressure on the thin veil which separates reality from the warp and whatever horrors they can conjour from within.  

A new engine for the Warp Runners.

This is an insanely intimidating kit.  So I asked Admiral Drax to put it together for me.  I think the actual build, when he got 'round to it, went fairly quickly.

And that's titan killing firepower there.  Four Volcano cannons.  Plus close protection secondry armourment, and a missile rack in the roof. 

And this thing is huge for a knight. 

I'm going to have to shim the arm mountings. they're really loose.

Kasarkin for scale.

That's him, down there.
