Warhammer 40,000
Warhammer 40,000 or simply Warhammer 40K is a miniature-based tabletop game. It involves building and painting your own miniature army and pit them against others' on a dioramic 6x4 or 4x4 feet table using a standardized set of game rules. Miniature armies come in various factions, from Imperial commandos to space-faring orks, each with its own background stories (what 40K players call "fluff") and combat units.

My army, a sub-faction of the Adeptus Astartes or the Space Marines, is of the so-called Dark Angels Chapter - one of thousands of regiments of bio-enhanced supersoldiers created by the Emperor of Man to impose his will throughout the grim universe of the 41st millennium.

Dark Angels of the Adeptus Astartes
The Dark Angels Chapter is first among legions of Space Marines bred by the Emperor from his own genetic imprints. Enhanced physiologically for combat operations, they are literally Angels of Death in the battlefield, sowing fear to anyone who dared oppose their mandate. Their homeworld, Caliban - now reduced to a barren asteroid after an epic battle against their traitorous Brothers - holds the Chapter's mobile fortress-monastery called the Tower of Angels. Here, deep within the labyrinthine pathways to the underground caverns, lies the key to their monastic nature. The Dark Angels hides a millenia-long secret that compromised their honor. It is with this reason that they and their Successor Chapters are called the Unforgiven.

Missile Launcher Marine

Im'a missile launcher Marine short for my 2000pts Kolat Cup army list so last night I hurried up rummaging my bits box for a hunter-killer missile. Hunter-killers looks cool as missile launchers.

I cut the left arm from the Predator's storm bolter gunner arms bits and used it to hold the hunter-killer. For the right arm, I used the bolt pistol-toting arm from the Assault Squad boxed set so basically the missile launcher Marine is also holding a bolt pistol. Definitely not a WYSIWYG thingy... Space Marines just look good holding two weapons.

Later tonight, I just need to prime it black and it's off to join my "allied" Devastator Squad for the Kolat list.

oooh... "allied"....
