Hey guys, I wanted to share with y’all the current state of
the Soul Reapers and the rebuilding of the army. This has been an extremely
tough year for me, in terms of real life and an extremely busy year on the
hobby side.
I must admit that I have been extremely deflated in spirit
when it comes to rebuilding the army; even thought the fantastic members of the
40k community rallied and replaced my stolen models. I actually feel a bit bad
about this.
With that said, I have finally gotten the mojo toward
getting the Reapers back on the tabletop. I have spent the last week getting an
1100 point force almost completely painted. I should have some nice looking eye
candy just after the New Year.
I have been reintroducing my buddy Kev to rulebook style 5th
ed 40k, cause when we play our version of 40k is nothing like 5th. I
need him a 5th ed mindset as he is helping me with the Narrative
event at the bay open.
I guess he has gotten tired of my stealing his IG shtick
using my steel legion guard, although he has been using his orks. He is one of
the biggest supporters of the Soul Reapers and has decided not to play another
game until I run the Reapers.
Here is the list I am finishing up.

Cataphracts 193

Well with recommitting yourself to your Soul Reapers, you have proven you have soul, but are you supa-bad?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, I am supa-dupa-bad!
ReplyDeleteYou worked the H-bolters onto a tank yet?
ReplyDeleteNot yet, I am trying to work out the best way to do it. I'll need to create a new transport or anti-infantry tank to make it work.

Nice to see some paint on that guy! Did you GS over the flames, or scrape them off?
ReplyDeleteI dremeled them off, I had intended to sculpt a new edging, but as you can see I abandoned the idea.
ReplyDeleteI acquired 2 more FW dreads (1 WE, 1 IW) off of ebay, that will be joining him as Onslaught Dreads in the next 1000 points of models.
Thanks again for the model Dude!
Here's hoping you have a better year in '12!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more of the reapers.
