The joys of getting older!

So , getting older sucks in some ways, but in others it does get better!

One of these ways is getting better presents as an adult "from your kids", at least that is the excuse I use to pick stuff up for myself while the kids are too young to realise that I am pulling the wool over their eyes!

So they were excited to "gift" me this nice package!



A nice bunch of Forge World stuff, to make a BIG start on an Siege Vanguard list for my Executioners!  Now I am not a player who likes to win all the time!  I much enjoy trying to theme a force and then roll a bunch dice a couple of times a month, win or lose!

My plan is to take Pedro (or whatever I name his Executioner equivalent for my army), a Siege Assault Squad, a Dreadnought Talon, with 2 Ironclads and a Siege variant, as well as 10 Sternguard, and thanks to the 6th allies rule, I added Lysander, a Tactical Squad and for anti air support and cause he looks cool a Contemptor Mortis also another Dreadnought wouldn't go astray!


So here is what I have got together so far, 3 of the Dreadnoughts, half of the Assault squad and I fiddled with the arms of my Pedro.

Chain Axes are from the Chaos accessories range but where possible I want all my guys to have axes.  I have also magnetised their back packs and will put magnets in their jump packs later, so I can use them as regular assault guys in standard SM lists if I need to.

I am going to go on a good scrounge for a set of terminator legs, torso and shoulder pads and convert up a Lysander as well.  Plus save money for another order, including a Contemptor Cyclone Missile Launcher, and another 20 Marines of different marks for the Tac and Sternguard!

I also kitbashed a Thulsa Kane the other week, and also grabbed a second Death Speaker.
