Members of my Angelus Obscurum (AKA Dark Angels) hold a ruin as Grey Hunters from the Space Wolves 13th Company arrive via drop pod and rush the building.
I've been continuing the grudge matches against my friend and favored opponent, who always rolls a great game and keeps the game interesting. I usually lose, though most times by a small margin, but the games are always full of narrative and full of good laughs.
During this game, I was proxying all "Plas as Grav" to keep it simple. Best moment of the game was when his flyer (the Storm Wolf?) went into hover mode directly in front of my grav gunner and suffered the consequences as I rolled many sixes and immobilized it... sending it crashing into his own squad covering an objective.
My girlfriend, being the avid crafter that she is, helped out my fledgling Dark Angels army by putting together several paper templates of Nephilim fighter craft. As you can see here, the detail on the papercraft models are pretty darn good. In this game, I was using it as a Dark Talon. Pictured above is the craft lining up for a strafing run. It did marginally alright... I think a Nephilim would have served me better for the points.
So last night I stayed up until 3AM putting together these two squads. The kits are way more detailed than they used to be, so it took me a lot longer as I was paying attention to detail and ensuring that I could magnetize the special weapons. It should come out great, I am looking forward to getting some new models to paint, as I was approaching completion with my DA models.
