Plans for the Future

After reading over the Imperial Armour 9 book I decided that one of my next armies was going to be the Astral Claws, and I had the pre-release Lugft Huron model from Games Day UK. So I ordered some of the Forge World Space Marine Mk armor sets, and the weapons to go with them. And since the IA9 book has an army list for the "Tyrants Legion", I'm going to be using that as the basis for my army. As it allows a mix of Space Marine & Imperial Guard for an army list. So I also ordered a Vulture with Twin Linked Punisher Cannons for the Tyrants Legion for the IG side of things.

Also while I was at Games Day they had the pre-release of the Red Scorpions Librarian Sevrin Loth and his Honour Guard, which I bought while there. And after reading over his rules in IA9 I'm very excited to get a game in with the rules. And the models them self are just amazing in their details, and the one good thing about the model for Sevrin Loth is that there is only one Red Scorpion icon that I've found so far. So I might have to get another model at some point for use in a Salamanders Army with maybe the same rules as Sevrin Loth. This will be geared more towards a theme army for the Salamanders Series of Books by Nick Kyme. But that is on down the road after I finishes the series of books, which I picked up the pre-release of Firedrake at Games Day & had Nick Kyme sign if for me.

I also ordered some Ork items for a future army, and the other two weapons for my Warhound Titan that I need to start working on here soon too. Hopefully my Forge World order will be coming over here this coming week, and I'll try and get some pictures up once I get the items but work might get in the way of that soon.

Also I'm working on my entry for the Freebootaz Toys for Tots 2010 Armies eBay auctions, which I have a set of Ultramarine Rhino Doors coming soon I hope. Then I have to finish painting up the Ultramarine Rhino, my friend Jon is working on the Tactical Squad to go with the Rhino. I can't wait to see what he does for them, but life might step in that he can't get around to painting the Ultra's. Which I understand due to his situation at the moment, and family comes first before miniatures. So I've started on a backup plan of my own just incase, I started painting up another of the Tactical Squads that I have sitting around. So at the moment if Jon doesn't get his Tactical Squad painted, then I'll have mine and the Rhino that I've painted ready to go. And if Jon does get his Tactical Squad complete in time, then I'll have them and the Rhino I painted and will go ahead and put another Rhino together to go with the Tactical Squad I painted. Since I think I can get a Rhino (that I have laying around put together) painted up in a weekend easily, as I've put together and primed and base coated the first one in the past 24 hours.

So we will see how it goes, as the Toys for Tots stuff needs finished before any of my stuff gets started (maybe).
