Wounding with intent - RT Era Assault units

First RT post of the week and it gets brutal. Over the last week I have wheeled and dealed my way to secure two great Assault units for use in the force. Whilst one of them might not be fully RT it is close enough to do me and will certainly hurt once on the table top.

First up is my new Terminator assault squad, whilst not an RT unit rules wise I felt the need for them in the current edition out weighed that.

where possible I have stuck to the RT choices, in particular with the squad Sergeant. sticking to the traditional power sword and storm bolter.

Next up is two lightning claw armed terminators, the base models as far as I cant tell are RT genuine and I the claws whilst not RT may have been released at a similar time, either just before or early 2nd edition so kind of counts, but the style of the pads matches the normal RT terminators I have.

They are supported by two thunder hammer wielding beasts, as with above the base models as far as I cant tell are RT genuine but I think the storm Shields are possible late second early third edition, but I am happy with them.

My other assault unit is actually two small 5 man units, although I guess it could be one massive 10 man one, I now have enough metal RT jump packs to convert the ten RTB01s in to assault troops over the coming week. The marines are in parts which is nice and makes it good to carry out simple conversions, keeping as much original as I can.

The packs are in great condition and just sprayed black, must say when the arrived I certainly knew when they hit the door mat, these things weigh a ton!

So those are the first bits in the week and it does look like once completed the force will definitely have some teeth. More to come later in the week.

MOD Woodbridge Open Day Gallery and Videos

After yesterdays galleries from the summer here are some pics, only a small number, and a couple of videos from the recent Open Day at MOD (formerly RAF) Woodbridge in Suffolk, home of the 23 Engineer Regiment (Air Assault), part of the 16th Air Assualt Brigade.

The pics show some of the toys on show and the videos show a fire and manoevre demo they carried out as well as a fly by from an RAF Sea King from Wattisham.

Hobby News - Stormraven Sneak peek!!! Its finally here!!!

Looks like GW let the cat out of the bag and here is the first look at the new Stormraven model:

OK so there are some serious questions over the origins of the model, is it a kit bash, is it pre production?? No one is quite sure but given its based on studio terrain with the studio BA army my bet is this is the finished and up coming model. certainly looks interesting and cant wait to get hold of one if that's the case! any thoughts?

Red Hunter Test Schemes

Evening all!
Just a quick post tonight to show some schemes I've thrown together for my Red Hunters using the Bolter and Chainsword Space Marine Painter.

I have decided to base my Red Hunters on a force drawn from the 5th Company as the Red and Black trim looks rather good and gives me chance to play with a few other colour options! So without Further ado here are the example schemes:

Standard Tactical Marine

Tactical Brother Sergeant

Veteran Tactical Brother Sergeant

Alternative Veteran Tactical Brother Sergeant option

Veteran Assault Brother Sergeant


As you can see some nice schemes and a great tool to use. I haven't included any Devastator, Assault or Command Marines as they are basically similar. Only changes I would make but couldn't in the painter were the outlets on the Assault pack might be made black! I also haven't yet decided how to show Veterans when it comes to helmets, though I may just leave them as standard helmets and just use icons!
So what do you all think of the various examples? All OK or any changes needed before the test model is started?
Have a good one!
