From JamieM - more 30k.... And a confession(100 points)

I've always found deadlines to be very motivating. Hence after finding my output a bit patchy through the challenge I've had a real rush of activity towards the end.

These are inspired by GregB who commented that he'd hoped to get more done from his 30k pile through the challenge and I decided that I agreed and so the items I had put in the "I'll do these after the challenge" pile got promoted to these "get these done now as you don't know when you'll next pick up a paintbrush after the challenge" pile.

Firstly, 5 missile launchers from the Battle at Calth set again. GW/forgeworld did a great job of producing something in homage to the original RTB01 rogue trader marine set.

They're like the old ones, only better

Religious decals everywhere and Boulder shoulder pads.

The one thing my force was missing to be table legal was some leaders, so here are my two HQs

Both chaplains, as the Wordbearers do like them a bit of religious zealotry

One with a jump pack to accompany my jump marines and one on foot to accompany my large unit of foot

The one on foot can stand in for Erebus, one of the main characters in the Horus Heresy who first consorted with the chaos gods and dragged everyone down into the Heresy. The pets are from Battle of Calth and a limited edition 40k chaplain from the starter set with lots of conversions.

Having done all the things I "had" to do with regards troops units, it was time to move to the more esoteric units. So herewith find the Gal Vorbak.

These chaps have allowed daemons to possess them and "share" their bodies, so you can see the mutations and daemons busting out all over the place.

I'm not a huge fan of duplicate figures and as FW only produce 5 sculpts, I knew that I had to convert 5 to make them all unique. These are the original 5

And these are converted with arm swaps and heads and arms from across the Gw range

Not sure about scoring for these as they are on 40mm bases and are larger than marines, but not massively.

And a family shot

What's that? The confession I mentioned you say? Ah yes. I'd hoped you'd forgotten.....

In my last post I showed a converted Playmobil pirate ship and Curt commented that he had a boxed Roman colleseum in in his boot cupboard. Well, I'm ashamed to say that not only can I see your colleseum in my loft....

I can raise you anther one.

Yes, I have two...... No, I don't know why I thought I'd double up on something I hadn't gotten around to using. Your right Curt, it's a disease.... So the next time Sarah gets annoyed about that box, you can casually mention that you know someone with two. Reckon that'll help at all?

From Minion Tamsin:
Lovely paint jobs Jamie :)
I think that's 17 figures @ 28mm, which gives a base of 85 points. I'll add 15 points for the conversions and slightly larger figures.
