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.

Weekday Warrior Sessions and Some

Weekday Warrior Sessions 14 and 15 have passed.

I lost on three consecutive games, two of which are Gladiator Cup official battles. I've already updated my Battle Statistics link at the upper right menu of this blog for a more specific look at the details.

I still have to match against Lito (Witch Hunters), Romy (Emperor's Children), and maybe Ronald (Space Wolves) to finish the league.

Currently, on my workbench...

*several Space Marines on missile launcher
*Scout Snipers on assembly line painting
*finished pimping my tanks (Vindicator and Whirlwind), awaiting to be primed and basecoated... maybe iL commission one of the Shak boyz to do airbrush this for me

Here's a fully painted sample of my Scout Sniper...
