Last blog post I was finally ready to work on the bearers. Then, of course, life happened. Now, almost 3 months since the last post: I finally have some progress to report!
Sometimes when you realise that a project is taking longer than usual, it can be a good idea to roll with it. Instead of getting frustrated and settling for a less than stellar paint job, I decided halfway the first 5 marines that I’d just take the extra time to be completely happy with these. I’m glad I did and I can’t wait now to see the whole army come together like this.
In the meantime a few lockdown measures have been lifted in the Netherlands. So, between a couple of my most enthusiastic heresy friends, we decided we would be able to risk a 5 person megabattle at home.
Dirk’s Mechanicum 
My Knight and Mor Deythan got wiped by a typhon pretty early on in the game 
Sisters of Silence held out longer, but were killed by Alpha Legion and Ursurax eventually 
World Eater mob looking menacing as usual 
The Custodes made some brave charges 
Alpharius is a beast and his abilities were definately game changers 
The Mechanicum moved over kind of slowly, but still took out some jetbikes 
Lerneans held on surprisingly long against the Custodes 
Xiphon was one of the final things on the board for me. Helped take out the typhon so he did good.
Man! That was such a breath of fresh air to be able to play warhammer with more than 2 people again! I was playing with Arjan’s Custodes against Mechanicum (Dirk), World Earers (Bart) and Alpha Legion (Naut). For the occasion I brought along my Sisters of Silence and Knight allies as well. The game was lost in turn 3 when several key charges failed and at the end of turn 4 we decided to perform an orderly retreat for The Emperor.
Depite the long pauze in blogging I’m glad I finally had something to report in the aftermath of the Netherlands’ worst lockdown ever. As the world opens up again I hope to report more!
Thanks for reading.
