Valdor tank destroyer

Guess what? I now have a Valdor tank destroyer! Preordered it from my friendly local gaming store, bought it today, and now he's assembled! I can destroy tanks now! Both in the 31st and 42nd millenniums.

Putting him side by side with my Leman Russ tanks and Rogal Dorn for comparison. Maybe even my Stormblade. Heh.

Sorry, Space Wolves friends, but I'm going to make the joke anyway. Leman Russ is the smallest out of all 3. So we have Leman Russ, Rogal Dorn and now Valdor. 2 Primarchs and the Chief Custodian/Captain-General of the Legio Custodes. And Leman Russ is the smallest! Hah! Rogal Dorn is the tallest and biggest, as expected of the best Primarch and Praetorian, while Valdor is lean and long. Interesting.

None of them are as big as my Stormblade, though!

I do have this weird headcanon to explain why there was no Rogal Dorn tanks during the Horus Heresy. The Adeptus Mechanicus only began construction of a tank using a newly discovered STC after the Siege of Terra, and to honor the Praetorian's defense of Holy Terra from the machinations of the arch-traitor Horus Lupercal, they named the tank Rogal Dorn. So the Rogal Dorn is a more recent tank discovered (or created) after the Horus Heresy, and used by the newly christened Astra Militarum. Or Imperial Guard. Because you're in the Guard, son. Not the Astra Miliwhat.

Not sure if that makes sense or justifies the lack of Rogal Dorns in the Horus Heresy and the sudden appearance as an Astra Militarum tank and how they "always appeared to be around (aka retcon, like Armigers)." But hey, headcanon is headcanon. I think. And now I have the trio of Primarchs and Custodes Captain-General!

Rise of the Dark Mechanicum

I have finally finished assembling all the core units of my Dark Mechanicum army! Yay! The Stalker Constructs are all done, and with the Dark Mechanicum Taghma sub covenant, they are ready to be fielded!

The only thing left is to get Titan support. Like a couple of Warhounds and either a Warlord or Warmaster. We shall see. For now, I shall bask in the completion of my Dark Mechanicum!

Oh, I need to get them all painted eventually.

Inquisitor and Serperos

I assembled the Inquisitor guy I got from Warhammer+. It sucks that I don't get Warhammertv in Singapore (it's not available in my country), but at least I get the miniature. Anyway, here he is, along with the first pair of Serperos Overlord Heavy Stalkers. I will assemble the second pair tomorrow. I simply don't have the time and energy these days because of work. Sigh.

And Blackburn Rovers can't even win a single game these days, which adds to my woes. Ugh.

First wave of Stalker Constructs

 I have assembled the first wave of my Stalker Constructs!

This is only the first wave churned out from the daemon forges of the Dark Mechanicum. Technically, they are mine, but I bought and assembled them to serve as an enemy to my Loyalist Mechanicum and Knights. I'll be getting them Titan allies...eventually, but for now I'll focus on assembling the rest of the Stalker Constructs, plus the Serperos Overlord Heavy Stalkers. The Dark Mechanicum can't do much without those, after all. But it'll be fun! I hope...

Portable display cases

 It has been a while, hasn't it? Been busy with work and all that, so yeah. Anyway, some updates. I've bought portable display cases!

Don't get me wrong, I love the Citadel Crusade cases, and I would still recommend them to anyone looking to cart their miniatures around. But this Jucoci display cabinet offers a great alternative too! Especially if you want to stack them and stuff.

Looking good, eh? I'll probably pick up a few more cases to store more of my guys. I can't wait to see how they'll fare! Yay!
