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.

Gastos!!!

Finally, I was able to purchase another Space Marine Land Speeder Tornado. That will complete my maximized Land Speeder squadron.

9 strength-5 shots, 12 strength-6 "rending" shots... 21 shots per turn. Do the math.

*insert evil grin here*

I need two more multi-melta Landspeeders though for the tank-hunting role.

*****

With it, I also bought a Cygnarian Stormsmith blister, composed of three Stormsmith figs, and a unit of Cygnarian Stormblades, which includes five Stormblades and a Stormblade Sergeant.

I only need a warcaster and another Stormclad and I'm off to the tables to play.

The storm is brewing!!

*****

Off from Sir Lito's Forge World run, I finally laid hand to the all-orgasmic beauty that is the Forge World Space Marine MKIV Dreadnought!

I can't wait to field all three of my Dreadnoughts and see their influence on my list.
