Battle Report – 40k 7th Edition first look – Tyranids

Well 7th edition of 40k has been released recently and the 40k community and the internets have all been abuzz with the update – what works, what doesn’t work, and how it’s going to impact the meta. I’m excited about the changes and as a big fan of 6th I was looking forward to seeing what 7th was all about. However, being recently in a hobby rut and needing some inspiration to get my 40k back on, my good friend Chris and I agreed to give the new 7th edition rules a whirl and see what all the hubub is…

Nurgle Sorcerer, Part Deux

Nurgle Sorcerer

Finished with my 5th squad of 10 Nurgle Plague Marines. This guy seems to be the stand-out of that painting batch – the ForgeWorld Nurgle Sorcerer. I believe his name is “Necrosius” out of the Siege of Vraks campaign books Imperial Armour 7 – The Siege of Vraks III). Any which way, he looks pretty hard core, and I’m really happy how the paint job came out. I himmed and hawed on this guy for a while, not wanting to paint him – not sure why, but pretty pleased with the results.
