Raven Wings are GO

When the call goes out to scout the enemy and hit them hard and fast, the Raven Wings are the tip of the Dark Angels spear.

 All are plastic pieces that I painted in May for Richard's growing Dak Angels Space Marine Army

My Mommy Told Me to Never Mess with Mummies

In the hot desert by the cool waters of the Nile, our brave and cursed hoplite, Hitkos Nuluk, happens upon another cursed soul-the mummy Imhotep. As Imhotep is and Egyptian, the Greek curse on Hiktos appears to be void in this meeting.

So, for once our warrior may freely turn his back on what was sure to be an exhausting battle in the burning Egyptian sun.  Time for a cool bath in the Nile thinks the tired Greek. He does know about Nile Crocodile's, right?

Hiktos is a 25mm metal piece I painted in the 1970's, Imhotep is a plastic piece from Atomic Mass Games that I painted earlier this year.

Dark Angels Space Marine Squad 3rd Z'd

In the Dark Angels all squads are rated by their veteran experiences.

Those with the least experience are rated 5th A'lph to 1st A'lph. As they gain experience the ranks increase though 5th B't to 5th Z'd (A'lph, B't, G'mm, D'lt, P'sln, Z'd, T'ht, K'pp, R'h, S'gm, P'h, C'h, P's, & O'mg)

So, it goes without saying thar Squad 3rd Z'd are very battle tested of the line squads of the Dark Angels.

These are plastic pieces I painted in May.

When "Ents" Go To WAR

while normally a gentle giant Drrylmbs is one of the fiercest of Ents when roused to war.

Armed with the "Iron Oak Heart Wood" of his spear-club of his youth, 

he is able to crush all who oppose him.

Call him of Lord of the Forest, Treeman or Ent, the title is meaningless for he is Drrylmbs shepherd of the forest, cross his path with evil in your heart for his charges at your peril.

This battle "Ent" is a large plastic piece I painted in March.

Here is how big he is compared to a "human" 25 mm piece:

Almost Finished

Richards next unit of Dark Angles Space Marines Terminators is almost finished.

The already completed Man-Thing has photo bombed the picture of the terminators.

 

Yes It's Alive-It's Man-Thing

Out of the swamps comes a 'monster" with a human heart, Man-Thing.

Feared as much as misunderstood, Man-Thing seeks to live in peace but is instead hunted by those who are horrified by his inhuman visage.

Is it any wonder he prefers the solitude of the swamps and forests to the hatred and fear he faces from "civilized mankind."

May haps in the future humans will become more "humaine" to that which is strange to them.

Man-Thing is a plastic piece I finished yesterday.
