Hobby Progress: Magnetizing Forge/Maulerfiend and Heldrake part 2

So after realizing that I did not have the pictures to show off the rest of the Forge/Maulerfiend and requests on the Heldrake.

Let us start with finishing the Forge/Maulerfiend.

My take on Chaos and hobby progress.

Ok so the new Chaos Codex is out and I am really enjoying seeing the CSM section of forums become more active. Chaos Space Marines were my second army when I started them back in 3rd edition. They have since then become my largest army and the one I have played most over the years. I was able to get a copy of the new Codex a little early had have gotten in a few games with them so far. So this will be my take on the book as well as some hobby progress with a couple of the new Chaos models.

40k rules interpretation

So I have been cruising around some of the forums and have seen some rule interpretations that I just can't agree with and though I would share a few of them with you or just vent some of my frustration.

The first one I will bring up is casting Psychic Powers after arriving from reserve. The interpretation I have been seeing is "you are not allowed to cast any powers that are done at the start of the turn, this includes powers that are cast at the start of the movement phase. The movement phase is the start of the turn."

"I can kill you with my brain."

The West Cost Podcast Alliance: Golden Ticket Event!

So for those of you who listen to Life After the Cover Save, The Independent Characters, and or Imperial Vox Cast know that they were running a drawing to go to an event to meet and play 40K with the Podcast crews. Well I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the event that RoboEds Thunderdome.

Painting Marines and a MotF!

So I was able to get in some painting time yesterday and took advantage of it as long as my back could handle being hunched over the table. I was able to get a gold base coat and wash on the Tac Marines and got most of the Master of the Forge done.

Prepping the area

New hobby progress!

So as you may have noticed I have not been updating the blog recently. As you saw from my last post one main reason has been the weather and not really being in the mood lately. That has changed a bit recently!

"Man it's HOT!" my 40k update.

I have noticed that I have not posted in a little while so I thought I should fix that issue. I have not been doing much in the realm of 40k lately much to my dismay. As I live here in the High Desert of Southern California it has been rather hot over the last couple weeks and that has been just zapping away my energy to really get anything done.
