Warhammer 40K - New Rynn City

Stalled - WH40K

I have made no progress with my Crimson Fists. I have been painting British for Flames of War. I also ran across this funny web-comic here is a link to the first episode.

Crimson Fists - Slow but still going

2009-12-14T13:59:00.000-05:00

I have gotten my first squad of tactical Marines started. I have an Idea for a "counts as" Multi-melta or Lascannon using the weapon from a Necron Immortal to go with the theme of my deathwatch units that I will be adding to the CF army.

Flames of War

2009-12-14T13:54:00.000-05:00

A small group of gamers that I did 15mm American Civil War with has gotten into Flames of War. I am looking at two armies Mid-War Italians, on the Eastern Front and Late War British Armour for Operation Market Garden. We shall see...

Daemonhunters - Crimson Fists Allies

2009-10-25T09:30:00.001-04:00

I have thought about making a Daemonhunters list with a heavy allied force of Crimson Fists Space Marines. The first reason for this is that their are a lot of straight Space Marine players in my area. I also want to build an Ordo Xenos (alienhunters) army when, and if, it comes out.

Random Thought - Crimson Fists Power Armor

2009-10-22T11:09:00.001-04:00

With the re-building of the Chapter, and the loss of a lot of equipment (Marines, Power Armor, Vehicles, etc...); Would their be a large portion of Marines that have the newer style of Power Armor?
I am rethinking my list to include more scouts and less Tactical Marines. The reasoning behind this is that it takes a while to rebuild and the Chapter will want to give the new recruits as much "trigger time" as possible while keeping them protected.

1 - Tactical Squad
4 - Scout Squads
1 - Sternguard Squad (Deathwatch Minis or combination)
1 - Shooty Dred
1 - Razorback or Land Raider or Vindicator (No Whirlwind, the CF have a healthy respect and heatred for missiles now)

I need 1850 points so time to crunch the numbers.

Cool tips from Kantor Base

2009-10-21T11:05:00.001-04:00

I just came across this at Kantor Base - How to paint Crimson Fists Space Marines I am going to try this as soon as the Marines land at my FLGS.

First Troops Ordered

2009-10-20T11:33:00.000-04:00

As money is tight I have started off with one tactical squad and a bag of bits from a buddy that I gave the last of my Ork Boyz to. I have not decided if I will paint them as regular Space Marines or convert them into the Sternguard ( it depends on what bits I get ).

Painting

2009-09-25T20:20:00.000-04:00

I will be painting Tyranids for a friend of mine to help support the Crimson Fists Army I am making. I will post images of these (and my Fists)

The Crimson Fists

2009-09-24T14:48:00.000-04:00

I chose the Crimson Fists out of nostalgia. The firsts 40k minis that I painted where Crimson Fists, back in the days of Rouge Trader. I have toyed with idea of getting back into the hobby, and thought "what better way" then to start a new CF army.

And it begins...

2009-09-24T14:18:00.000-04:00

Well, this is my first attempt at a blog, and I think my return to Warhammer 40K is as good a subject as any.
