Mustafa’s month VI: Even more rank and file!

 In by the skin of my teeth!!! Excuse the awful photos but it’s midnight here in Japan and that’s the best I could manage.

Another 350pts of jump pack wearing psycho killers!!!

The bases aren’t done I’m afraid but they will be in time for the final blog post, promise ;)

Mustafa’s month V: Rank and file #4

Nothing surprising here I’m afraid. More assault marines for the assault marine army! 

I did manage to get a land speeder done as well which is a little variety I guess.

Not especially happy with this lot as I had to rush them a bit, but they’ll get the job done at arm’s length and on the table.

As for points, it’ll be 350 for the jump pack lads and the land speeder is 145, so just short of 500 points.

Mustafa’s month IV: Rank and file #3, tank time!

 As cool as jump pack marines are, they are somewhat lacking in the firepower department.

Figured it was time to give them something with a bit more “oomph” to it!

I printed this bad boy a while ago but never really had the opportunity to put him on an army. The last two marine armies I did were not particularly speedy, so this he didn’t really fit in with them, but hell be perfect for my Blood Angel Assault Army!

In OPR games I’ll probably run him as one of the new anti gravity tanks from GW as he’s far too large to be a regular landspeeder. In games or 2nd edition I’ll probably run him as a command Predator.

Anyway, here’s the whole army so far. Cheers for looking!

Mustafa’s month III: Leader.

 A pretty humble offering this month as I was quite busy.

I chose this guy to be the captain as I’ve always liked his brutal, chunky armour.

Captain: 96pts

Chainsword: 2pts

Plasma Pistol: 5pts

Jump pack: 5pts

He clocks in at 108 points total.

That brings the current army total to 808pts.

Here he is with his fellow flying psychos.

Mustafa’s month II: Rank and file, more of the same!

 What a surprise! A space marine assault army get…more assault marines!

This lot are exactly the same as last month’s lots. 350 points of fast, jumpy, killy-killy.

They turned out darker than the first lot as I’m still playing around with what works best when using contrast paints. Still, good enough for on the table.

Cheers :)

 

Mustafa’ month 1: Rank and File

 

First month is the bread and butter of the army, the humble jump pack assisted assault marines.

9 space marines and 1 sergeant. I decided to go with Blood Angels as I rarely paint minis in red and wanted to see how well the GW contrast paints work. So far, so good!

I may go back over and add some chipping and weathering on the edges, but for now I, calling them done.

As for points, these bad boys clock in at 350 points of gravity defying killiness!!!

Mustafa’s OWAC VIII intro post. The Beakies Ride Again!!!

 Evening everyone :)

It was 5:20 am here in Japan and I was just about to leave for the airport, but as I posted this in the wrong blog and only just realised it is now 8pm here in Singapore and I’m now waiting for my return flight to Japan so this’ll be short and sweet (much like me! )

I’ll be doing beakies again this year, but it’ll be a fast moving force of jump pack marines and cavalry, plus a land speeder for a bit of support.

 The plan is to do four squads of marines, 2 squads of 3 cav (forgot to put the 6th guy in the picture), 1 HQ, and the land speeder. Plans may change of course, but this is what I’m hoping to get done.

All of that clocks in at just over 1900 points. Still not decided on a chapter though!

Cheers!
