Road to Argentis - Introduction



Well it was only a matter of time before my Horus Heresy addiction made its way to this blog. I am a known hardcore Blood Angel player, but I found myself in an interesting situation. I was asked to play Traitors for an event I am going to Labor Day weekend called Argentis Eternal Narrative Event.  I will be traveling to Central Florida carrying a fully painted army or die trying. I bought Sons of Horus a few months ago and then I caught Corona right around the time I was painting them. I spent about a month on the mend and never felt the need or urge pick up the brush to paint green since then since no one was playing due to COVID. I would like to think my love in The Great Angel was trying to push me away from destroying the dream of the Imperium of Mankind.

Well the chance is here. I have planned out a 3000 point list for the narrative event and a 2000 point list for the Centurion even afterward. I am going to try and post my progress as I go and my thoughts on my process of painting since some people seem interested. IT'S NOT ALL AIRBRUSHED! STOP ASKING!

This is what is done so far.

I got a long way to go since I only have a low-strength veteran squad with bolters. Talk about room for improvement. Well everyone wish me look. I got a few months to get the Job done and I am notoriously slow since I like to fiddle with stupid details that no one will see. Please guys post a comment or send me a half-hidden insult to keep me going. I feel bad for betraying my beloved wing daddy so I am going to need all the pushing I can get.

    Can't wait to bash heads against them with my World Eaters.

      We will see why Reavers should just sit it out and let the World Eaters do it better!

Babylon Part IV - A Rude Afternoon

Pre-Game The invasion of Babylon may have had a temporary hiccup with the destruction of the Battlegroup Florentine, but the war goes on. The Blutzkorp's Battlegroup Sigrid had a faultless landing and has moved into position to join up with the Battlegroup Florentine and the approaching NDaK forces led by Rommel unfortunately; things are not going as the Axis planned. Sigird made it to the rendezvous, but where is everyone else? Those approaching tanks look a little too olive drab to be German. Machete Mack and Bazooka Joe have removed the possibility of Luftwaffe intervention to this ambush. They are also aware of the approaching NDaK Battlegroup. Some quick-thinking delaying actions have managed to slow down Rommel's advance just long enough to do considerable damage to the true architects of the Allie's woes. If they can remove Sigrid from the war altogether, than surely the Axis Bloc would start to fall apart without the support of the Blutkreuz.  Sigrid saw the c...

Chain of Command - Battle of the Bulge Set-Up

Hello wargamers! My very good buddy Tim and I decided that we wanted to start a campaign since we are both suckers for narrative gaming. I recently introduced Chain of Command to him since we both love games set in World War II, and he took to it like a fish to water. For reasons discussed a little later, we decided to theme it around fighting in the forests and towns of the Bastogne area of Belgium. I will be taking command of the 26th Volksgrenadiers that assaulted the Americans during operation Nordwind. Tim would take command U.S. Airborne. 101st Airborne Division, 501st Regiment, 3rd Batalion, H Company, 1st Platoon The best part of this entire idea is that not all of this is going to be "made up." Tim knew and frequently conversed with someone who was actually there and is the actual commanding officer of the company that he is going to play. I could write about everything I was told, but I figured I would just let Tim write it himself. His respect for the man being t...

Road to Argentis - Part VI

Hello Wargamers! The time to smash models together is coming quick. I feel the desire for a fully painted army burning deep inside me and no amount of Tums will quell the burn! The world seems to conspire against me to make sure I don't finish the great work however. I had to move recently and this drastically reduced the amount of time I had to paint since my station wasn't set up, but I continued to do what I could as much as I could do it. My airbrush even broke while I was doing some basecoats. I sprinted to a Hobby Lobby to buy a brush to make sure I wasn't slowed down any longer than necessary. Thankfully, all of the models have paint on them. Unfortunately, I don't think I am going to be able to put the full Dylan paint job experience on all of them. Corners must be cut in order to get it all done in time to a reasonable level. I am going to do as much as possible and attempt to go for the gold, but I must temper my expectations.  I managed to finish the Reavers ...
