These are the Auxiliaries I envisioned for my CSM Death Gaurd army. Going along with the Nurgle theme, I've made the Traitor Gaurd out of, surprise, a variety of Gaurdsmen, and Beastmen. I haven't gone all the way with making every TG a goatman, I've incorporated several 'tainted' gaurdsmen, to represent inductees that haven't been transformed fully by exposure to the toxins Imperialjustice18http://www.blogger.com/profile/06409589411726860912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057911446344684193.post-49028439710130979192012-07-02T01:52:00.001-04:002012-07-02T01:52:50.454-04:00RELAUNCH AND DEDICATION TO GRANDFATHER NURGLE!!

For 200$. Yowza.
See, I have several addictions in addition to 40k. I love Star Wars. To that point, i needed cash to buy a Mandalorian helmet. I know, huh?
More to the point, I've been working towards finishing my IF terminator force. Though I did sell my TH termies :( I still have a lot to finish.
Don't worry, I did sell the army to a good friend of mine.Imperialjustice18http://www.blogger.com/profile/06409589411726860912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057911446344684193.post-79353550845766423122011-08-03T23:31:00.002-04:002011-08-03T23:39:06.157-04:00Terminators and Land RaidersImperialjustice18http://www.blogger.com/profile/06409589411726860912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057911446344684193.post-10513986795043393922011-05-04T21:13:00.001-04:002011-05-04T21:16:21.009-04:00Imperial fist Terminator Squad 'nuff said.Imperialjustice18http://www.blogger.com/profile/06409589411726860912noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057911446344684193.post-33928746760018536922011-03-05T11:22:00.003-05:002011-03-05T11:40:18.072-05:00DUST TACTICS core set review Today I am changing gears.

I'm pleased it came so close to what I had envisioned. It's not that I don't like the basic storm shield, I just felt I could give it more character. I started by removing the buckle that connects it to a normal shield. The main portions were of course fashioned from plasticard, the back a thicker version and the front piece was a paper thin section.
