Just So Angry

   While I've only been to the new club twice now and I'm not able to go for another few months, but the two games I have played have made me rethink how I am collecting some of my 40k armies. The games I've tended to play in the last couple of years have been fairly small - Combat Patrol or 1500 points or much less, while this club is playing the more 'standard' points limit of 2000 points. This has made me realise that quite a lot of my armies are just so small - normally pushing over 1000 points with a few that are 1500 - 1700, but that would be using the whole collection and not a thought out army.

   I've been writing a fair few lists for my two chaos armies - aiming to focus on a single area before I spread out too much into other projects. Which one became the army that had the money spent on it was the reason I hadn't spent any money, I just couldn't decide, until chatting to one of my mates about the two collections and I made a passing comment that I thought my World Eaters were my better painted army and that in time I'd like to go back and re-tidy my regular chaos. He suggested that I finish the army I think is better painted, so that I can happily play any games I'm offered, to give me time to go back to the other army.

   So I picked the list I thought would be the most fun (and cost the least) and bought a unit or two for it. At the same time as I'd made decision, my birthday came around and my brothers, unprompted, bought me a *model for that army too. So, I got painting.

   This post is the units I've finished for my World Eaters;

Berserker Surgeon - Master of Executions. I'm not a huge fan of the base model and seeing a lot of World Eaters players taking the full 3 allowed to buff squads just looks ridiculous, but the fluff keeps going on about how the World Eaters basically only still exist because they have a strong cadre of berserker surgeons and the Fabius Bile backpack I found in the box from Phil, really got me thinking.

By my reckoning, beside the base model and the backpack, there are at least 3 other kits on show here including parts from the berserker sprues.

I am incredibly pleased with this model.

My second Hell Brute - this one a bit more basic in terms of weapons - a pair of fists with flamers in each but I was pleased with how it came out.

A old spawn model I bought online as I need pairs of spawn to make a legal unit and I only had the single one. I will add a box to round out to four in the future.

Next up is a Slaughterbound HQ. This is the newest HQ model for this army and I knew I wanted one when they came out. I gave this guy light skin so that the other stuff on the model would pop.

An unit of Exalted Eightbound, which are the elite version of the Eightbound box. These guys are never seen in current lists as they currently aren't very good but I have a Slaughterbound which is the Eightbound version of a HQ, so I wanted his units available to me. Plus units in 40k might be terrible this month and great next month, so having them in my arsenal just makes sense.

The last unit for this batch is a second rhino for the army. This is another model that I made from Phil's box - the more bits of this I found as I went through the box , the more hopeful I was that I could build a whole one.

I tried to make this one look more like a fairly recently captured Imperial one rather than a historic vehicle from their armoury.
