40K2ndAC V - Month 4 Complete! (May 2024)

 Ragnak Gutzsmashah, Rabidfang's Stunties, & Da Ragewhacka

Continuing my trend of Ork names that could easily be 80's metal bands this month we have Evil Sunz Mekboy Ragnak Gutzsmashah and the wartrak Da Ragewhacka.  The spinning maelstrom that is the Eye of Terror has spat us out this week in the actual present day.  These fine Orky gentlemen and their horseless carriage were my May entry for the current 2nd edition army challenge which is on its 5th season this year.  This year's trusty coordinator should be posting all of May's entries on his great blog very soon over at The Wachtmeister's Patrol - https://wachtmeisterspatrol.com/

Speaking of the Wachtmeister, I can't wait to jam up his fancy Deathwing Terminators with warp-crazed snotlings beamed through a teleportation tube straight into their armor.  Thanks for dropping by and we will be back soon with more entries from past challenges and a battle report or two to show these great looking armies in action.

40K2ndAC IV Flashback - 2nd Month (February 2023)

 Mob Slag-Dregga 

The clearly seen Eye of Terror in the background explains the time delay in getting this post published.

Ships cursed by the time tossed eddies of the warp translate back into realspace often far removed from the time and place of their original departure.  This post also disgorges from an uncertain past into a mostly verifiable now to display the second core troops unit in my Ork army, Grimskraga and his Goff boyz mob.  Besides forming the center of my advances on the tabletop, these chaps helped solidify my practice at blended reds and classic Goff black and white checks.  Grimskraga's banner pole also contains a salute to my long gaming history being topped with a beakie Mark VI helmet from my first box of RTB01 that I got for Christmas in 1990.

I wrote about them for the season IV of the 2nd Edition Army Challenge here :  https://cowabungajournal.com/2023/03/04/40k2ndac-iv-month-2-wave-2/

Season V of the challenge has a new home at : https://wachtmeisterspatrol.com/

"Recently returned from their tour of Europe opening for Metallica, let's give a huge Waaaggghhh for Slag-Dregga!"

Grimskraga Slag-Dregga – Goff Nob: Power Axe, Bolter; 5 Goff Boyz: Axe, Bolt Pistol; 91 points.

40K2ndAC III Flashback - 1st Month (January 2022)

Codicer Astrovel & Lexicanum Daskhorael

The firestorm background is soooooo METAL!

Catching up on past challenge entries that did not get posted due to interference from the warp, here are two Librarians from my Dark Angels army.  Codicer Astrovel is a model I've owned since '99 and it was a great pleasure to get him painted and added to my army.  I printed out banners from the Angels of Death codex but due to the use of extra long RT era banner poles I added extra tabbards with the Dark Angels chapter symbol below the heraldry of the librarian's rank.  This post is a great reminder that I need to add that scan of the banners from the 2nd edition codex to my banners page to add to the resources available.

      You can read them here along with several other fantastic entries from month 1 of season III:
