The Grey Ladies

Kitbashed a Canoness - here's Jehann D'Arc of the Grey Ladies

Surrounded by the Sisters, if you peek in the back you can see a horde of Inquisitorial Henchmen and Goliath Gangers, as well as some Flagellants

I have some plastic fantasy Ogres that will make some good DIB DIB DIB DOB DOB DOB, and if I can keep my wits about me I ought to be able to start the Genestealer Cult and the modular board soon. Going to bash together a Penitent Engine maybe, too

The 3rd edition Catachans will probably become Cultists, maybe a squad of Veterans for the IG (501st Necromundan Irregulars)

My group is cooking up some campaign rules and it's looking to be a fun Summer for war gaming.  Alternating Kill Tean/Planetstrike/Battles with Space Hulk and the Armada game

time - all I need is time

Dark Angels Succesors vs Ultramarines

Librarian Brother Arthur the Red commanded a 1499 points Succesors (The Storm Crows?) force against Tigurius' Ultramarines, in a Contact Is Lost scenario.  Fairly open terrain, lots of good shootsy bits. The best investment was the Scouts - sniper scouts did fairly well in dicing, but the Assault Scouts held their own against some Veteran Assault Marines. The Vindicator is really the hero, having taken out a squad of Centurions and a Tactical Squad in two separate, earth-shattering shots.

My 5 man squad of tacticals communed with objective 1 (a classic Khorne Bloodletter that I gave Roy a while back) almost the whole game until turn 4 when they got into fisticuffs with some Terminators in from the warp.

Many good dicing moments for me, Roy got the shaft a couple times, some heroic assaults and fighting phases, a decent challenge.

An afternoon well spent, and we talked about gaming tables and campaign rules.
