Shaun's Skaven Doom Wheel

I have it on good authority (Shaun) that this is the Doom Wheel.

Dropped around to my friend Shaun's last night to cadge a beer. He had his new pulp figures from Ironclad Miniatures out - see above. I like them.

He also showed me something else - see below. Apparently, we lurk around the same toyshops looking for bargains.

Warmachine Battlegroup

I bought these for my friend Shaun as an Xmas present. He does not play Warmachine but wanted them for 40K. He has given them a bonny renegade red finish. I like it.

Renegrade Orgryns

These are feral Ogryn put together by my mate Shaun. You may notice some suspiciously Orky looking weapons. One wonders whether they were scrounged or whether the Ogryns worked as mercenaries fo Da Boyz.

Shaun's Scratchbuilt Eldar Superheavy

I dug around in my photo collection and found this pic that I took in 2004 of Shaun's scratchbuilt Eldar monster.

This was taken late in the evening in the car park of a country club in Sittingbourne where we used to run a wargame club. It is summer, as you can see from the light sky and Shaun's T-Shirt.

Shaun's New Cabinet

I popped round to see my mate Shaun's new cabinet and cadge a beer the other evening. Amongst other things that caught my eye, I noticed he has kitbashed a new Orky Superheavy with interchangable superstructure.

Vraks Campaign Strategic Turn 4 - The Second Defence Line

There was something wrong with my tanks today. Shaun opened by throwing a second wave at Hab Zone 3 in the south west. This extra pressure proved too much and the defence collapsed. The Imperials were through another line in the south.

Shaun moved a field army into pposition to threaten the second defensive line in the north, maintaining a two-fisted strategy to split the defence. I moved a field army north to cover the line, weakening my position in the south.

Victory Points
Shaun: 14
John: 9

Vraks Campaign Strategic Turn 2 - The Starport

Lord Marshall Shaun initiated one of the stunning blitzkrieg attacks for which he is famous (infamous?). Valkyries dropped airborne light infantry onto the landing fields in Starport South. Their mission was to hold until they could be reinforced by a mechanised column running in from the beachhead at the bridge over the Balan Trench.

The drop went well. The Valkyries achieved complete suprise and dusted down to debus the infantry. The VTOLS came under heavy small arms fire as they lifted off so were ordered to withdraw.

The Nurgle warband, the Corrosive Clan poured from the Starport buildings and raced towards the Imperials. The Imperial Mechanised column made better time than expected, particularly as it included a Baneblade. This was just as well as the light infantry were being slaughtered.

The battle was a blood bath, all the imperial infantry being massacred. A blight drone created terror behind the imperial lines. The Baneblade and surviving Leman Russ were forced to withdraw when night fell as they would be helpless against the plague marines.

The Corrosive Clan held Starport South despite suffering heavy losses.

The Imperials renewed the attack at dawn with the Baneblade, a squadron of leman Russ and an entire company of heavy infantry in a superheavy carrier. The warband were reinforced by a Plaguelord super heavy tank. The renegades were unable to withstand the massive imperial firepower and were forced to retreat.

Deacon Lambshead chose to reinforce the Citadel area rather than launch a counterattack.

Imperials: 8VPs
Renegades: 7VPs

Diary of Lord Marshal Shaun: A hard pounding gentlemen but we showed them who can pound the hardest

Diary of Deacon John: It could have been worse. We actually won a battle and stopped the rot.

The Corrosive Clan

Vraks Campaign Strategic Turn 1 - The Storm Breaks

1. Lord Shaun launched a suprise mechanised attack across the SRNA Flats to grab the bridges over the trenches southwest of the starport. Deacon John was horrified to discover that his infantry manned defensive trench structures could not withstand the flood of armour. The Imperials crashed through and captured the bridges, blocking the direct road between the starport and citadel.

2. Simultaneously, Grand Master Shaun of the Dark Angels struck across the Van Merresland Wastes towards the outer defense line.


To Deacon John's horror the renegade commander, a Khorne Marine called Mac The Knife, abandoned the fortifications and charged the Dark Angels taking the mobile units of the Vraks Militia with him. Grand Master Shaun set a cunning trap in the lee of a hill.



A sceaming and a hollering, Mac lead the chaos marines and their mutie allies straight into an ambush. The berserk renegades were cut down from fire on all sides until only Mac and some muties were left. The Angels charged, finishing them off. The Vraks Militia fled the field of battle, causing a general panic when the crashed through their own lines.


The Angels overran the outer defense line before Deacon John could stabalise the situation by shooting a few deserters.

Shaken by events Deacon John elected to move a mobile force into the ruins of Hab Zone 3 on the second defense line as a strategic reserve.

Imperials: 6Vps
Renegades: 7VPs

Diary of Lord Marshal Shaun: Eat lead, renegade scum.

Diary of Deacon John: I've got a bad feeling about this one. Oh no, what are those bloody Khorne loonies up to?

Cadian Mechanised Scouts by Shaun Murphy

I could not resist putting up some of Shaun's latest kitbashes.

He has a whole squad of these,

John

Shaun Murphy's Scratch-Built Monsters

Lord Commander Murphy prefers to traverse the batlefield with a dignity concomitant with his high office in a scratch-built Leviathon. The heavy armour and shields are incidental.






And this is Shaun's scratch-buit Titan.

Shaun's Cadian Regiment

I popped over to my friend Shaun's flat for a cup of coffee to discover that he had just finished painting the last of his Cadians. This involved eighty infantry in the last week alone. Shaun was conducting a full parade of his Cadian assets on the tabletop.

I could not resist taking a few pics. Apologies for the quality but I only had an internal flash.

Sean swears that his Cadians are now finished and can take their place in the line alongside his Tallerns, Valhallens, Vorsterans and Catechan regiments.

Well, they are almost finished. He still has three boxed Valkyrie kits to make and a hellhound.
