Cadians for Warlords of the 41st Millennium

My latest acquisition: 59 (I think) Cadians, and one Commissar. Almost enough fairly OK painted dudes for two squads.

I need to get some profiles done for these!

Soon, I shall get on with my first test game, but I have been very busy in the garden (cutting trees down to let the Sun in our vegetable garden) and re-familiarizing myself with Blood Bowl (3rd Ed. - more about that later).

Dark Eldar for Warlords of the 41st Millennium

I've been buying a lot of second-hand minis, lately, and although I already got a handful of Dark Eldar, I bid on a few lots last week. As the interest for the auction was quite low, I procured them at a very fair price.

The plastic bags contain quite a few NOS Darrk Eldar, and I also got a Skiff (Raider, I think).

Now' I have to find a 5th Ed. Dark Eldar Codex, and I am almost set to field those dreaded pirates!

Another Great Haul

I won a few minis in a second-hand auction, and they should come in handy later in my Warlords of the 41st Millennium project.

Of course, the flying thingamadoo needs a small repair, and the Assault Marines need to be assembled and painted, but apart from that, I'm pretty pleased with this batch.

The Orks can be used as is, and so can the Techmarine, the Servitors, and the Chaplain, while the hooded Marine is actually a Dark Angel (Cypher? I'll have to investigate further ... dispatch the Interrogator Chaplain!), and the Psyker is a Grey Knight. Both the latter need some colour changes.

The Bikers and the Land Speeder will have to get gradually repainted for my Ravenwing, and the Gun-toting mini-gunship-thingy. too.

Warlords of the 41st Millennium - The Calexus IV Incursion, Prelude

As mentioned on an earlier occation, I have been growing very fond of Rick Priestley's 'Warlords of Erehwon' (same system as Bolt Action and Beyond the Gates of Antares).

I also have been very taken with Games Workshop's Grimdark Techno-Fantasy universe for several decades, I just never could get myself immersed in the game, as the rules did/do not reflect the Grimdark Lore very well.

The thing now is, Priestly provides a full point system breakdown for Warlords of Erehwon - and I got the idea to transcribe W40K profiles to that system - with the possibility to tweak trrop types I feel are too weak (probably to ensure that all players have to cash out and buy a substantial mumber og expensive minis),

More details later - all you have to know for now is that I have two small forces ready for a test run - which will happen one of the next days! (Or, so I thought, but life wanted it differently)

Here are some pics of the 75x150cm table and the two forces.

I promise to take a lot of pics of the game and explain some of the principles I used for the transcription!
