March was the biggest month in my plan, 2 vehicles. In words not so much, but the preparation, sub assemblies and amount of detail was even more than I had expected. But the results… I’m so happy!

40k2ndACIII Month 2 - Total Devastation
Month 2 (January 2022) of the 40k 2nd Edition Army Challenge 3 (40k2ndACIII) by c0wabunga.com saw me complete my Devastator combat squad. Equipped with a missile launcher and a heavy bolter this would be a straightforward task... but lets add a little twist.

Slice 1 - Pt.2 Fire*power
As mentioned in Slice 1 - Pt.1, there is another model for this stage of the project that takes a big chunk of inspiration from the 2nd edition 40k box art, and that is the special weapons operative with flamer (fire power, get it? LOL)

Slice 1 - Pt.1 - Sergeants orders
December marks the start of the painting challenge and Slice 1 for me will be the champion chaplain and a tactical combat squad. Today I want to go into detail about the sergeant of that squad and what influences I will be taking for his paint scheme.

Time to muster - Angels of Death
With a test of painting complete for October it is time to muster the first army for the Second War for Armageddon, the Blood Angels.
As with October I plan to enter, or at least paint along with, another Instagram challenge for the next phase of the Blood Angels army. This time its the 40k 2nd Edition Army Challenge 3, where participants paint 2nd edition 1000points in 6 months, documenting their progress. Ive followed previous editions of this challenge and been amazed by the models people paint, so hopefully I can add my own to the tally.The Trial - A Venerable Ancient
I needed a challenge and what I stumbled upon was a painting challenge on Instagram named #dreadtober (and compiled on a blog by the creator 'm4cr0dutch') to build and paint a Dreadnought in a month (October). What better starting point for my 2nd edition force than that the Venerable Ancient walking coffin, and a huge chunk of metal in both the lore and the hand.
Introduction - Battle for Armageddon
In the early 90's I was introduced to Games Workshop and Warhammer through playing a school friends older brothers new game, Space Hulk. Being only 8 or 9 at the time I was amazed by the cool models. Move forward to October 1993 and the release of 2nd Edition Warhammer 40,000 and my little 10 year old mind was blown. Over the next few years I collected small forces from a range of Games Workshop games but 40k was always my favourite.
