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.

Stormgald

I have already connected my Stormclad's torso to the leg part; I made it slightly facing to the left with the front body angle slightly lifted as per the original plan. Stuffing epoxy putty to position the tilt worked well, though I have doubts if it'L be durable enough to hold even after a short-distanced fall.

I was thinking of a good name for it but for now I temporarily baptize it as "Stormgald".

Yeah, parang galing Magic:TG. =)

I was done with painting the storm bolter arm of Deathwing Sergeant Daher and already finished painting his power sword too.

My inspiration for its power sword were from those power swords in Dawn of War. Y'know, those that generated bluish bands of energy from sword hilt to tip. I made it by painting thin, rugged stripes of Regal Blue around the sword (coated in Boltgun Metal), then I painted Ultramarines Blue on the stripes' edges. I dunno if it looked funny or what, but it'L do for me. =)

iL just highlight the arms with Bone White and I'm off for another project.

Hmmm.. ano kaya sunod?

This night, I'm passing by NG-Glorietta. Abraham (Demomarines) left his army there. iL just borrow it for something. *insert angelic smile here*
