As the dust settled Ollie had recorded the Best Painted Traitor award with the newly-finished IV Legion, whereas my World Eaters were crowned with the accolades of the Best Traitor General and the Best Traitor Sportsman! We'll carry this inspiration to the fall painting sprees and hopefully recurring games, as Ollie finally has a tournament-sized list to direct!
The narrative missions really put the pressure on the brave Loyalists defending the Eternity Gate and Traitors took the upper hand in many occasions. My first game against the Imperial Fists was especially memorable and we had a proper nail-biter in a scenario where renewing waves of Traitors tried to take over the defenders' deployment area. The battle culminated in the final rolls where the World Eaters would have earned a round victory for the Traitor side if the last two Imperial Fist Tactical Marines would have either died to three missile launcher shots or failed their Leadership 7 Morale Check. This time luck was on the Terrans' side and the brilliant game ended in a draw!
All in all the event was well organized and the amazing spirit of the Finnish Horus Heresy scene was ever present - the "hobby first" attitude in army painting and the relaxed, casual army lists made sure all participants had a great time. Thanks to all participants and the hardworking KuoFi crew for a quality wargaming experience. The World Eaters will return!
| The Assault Squad was built with a dual purpose in mind, our thinking was that they could also be used as World Eater Rampagers in the future. The sergeant is probably my favourite model in the unit. |
| We kitbashed the modern Khorne Berzerkers with Necromunda Corpse Grinder Cult armament to create Caedere Weapon specialists with a bit of a gladiator feel. |
| The Berzerker kits combined with angled basing elements made for quite dynamic poses. The excess chaos trim was scraped off from the armour surfaces before the primer went down. |
| These warriors can't wait for the next deployment, and neither can I! Luckily the traditional War Head Civil War looms in the horizon. |
| Sweeping advance! |
| Epäkuollut lohikäärme liihotti messukuorman päällä perille pohjamaaleissa. Kahden miehen messutiimimme splittasi viikonlopun ajan myynti- ja maalausvastuun. |
| Eric työn touhussa. Lohikäärmeen työstämisen ohella viimeistelimme myös pikaisesti pari maalauskisaentryä. |
| Samoin väriteema noudatteli tavanomaista kaavaa. Erityisesti luuosia oli hauska työstää tummanharmaan nahan ja siipien toimiessa hyvänä kontrastina. |
| Vereslihalla olevien osien kiiltoefektin toteutimme GW:n Blood for the Blood God -tehostemaalilla. |
| Lopulta arvonnan voitti onnennumerolla yhdeksän Paula N.! Kiitokset kaikille osastollamme käyneille, ostoksia tehneille ja lohikäärmearpajaisiin osallistuneille! |
