Vengeance is Coming
This coming Saturday, the new Codex: Dark Angels will be released. I have to say, I am pretty excited for its release. I've always liked the Dark Angels models and background. Two years ago, I decided to sell off my rather large Imperial Guard force. The army was just getting to be too much to play, assemble, paint, and lug around. I decided at that point that I wanted to play a small, elite force. The Deathwing fit the bill to perfection. I took the funds from the sale of my IG and loaded up on Terminator Squads and Venerable Dreadnoughts.
Now here we are, two years later and the new codex is just days away and everything I've heard about the new Deathwing units has me excited. There are three rumored (mostly confirmed) choices for Deathwing Terminators; Deathwing Terminators, Deathwing Terminator Command Squads, and Deathwing Knights. To start, there is the standard Deathwing Terminator Squad. If past precedents hold true, they will be armed with Storm Bolters and Power Fists. There will be options to upgrade one Terminator to carry a Heavy Flamer, Plasma Cannon, Assault Cannon, or the Cyclone Missile Launcher. Any Terminator in the squad can switch out there Power Fist and Storm Bolter for a Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield or Twin Linked Lightning Claws at an additional cost. If rumors are correct, you should be able to purchase up to five additional Terminators making a ten man squad.
Next up is the Deathwing Terminator Command Squads. In the current 4th Ed Codex, if you included Belial in your army, one Terminator Squad could be upgraded to contain a Company Standard and an Apothecary. In the upcoming book, you will be able to purchase a Command Squad for each Terminator HQ that you include. These Squads can be outfitted in a similar fashion to the standard Deathwing squads and the squad Champion will be able to include a special Power Weapon call the Halberd of Caliban. Rumor has it listed as a cheaper version of a Power Axe. The squad will also include a Company Standard and an Apothecary.
The final and newest Deathwing unit is the Deathwing Knights. These are the most elite Deathwing Terminators and are armed with a Mace of Absolution and a Storm Shield. They're listed with a host of special rules which are rumored to grand them Fearless and Preferred Enemy: Chaos Space Marines. I cannot wait to read up on this unit.
I have big plans for expanding my army and I look forward to keep this blog alive and full of great information.

Fat Ass to Fitness
With a wedding nine months away and a few holiday meals clinging to my waistline, I've started back on the path to fitness. For those of you who know me, I'm not overweight, but I would like to look my best when the time comes to exchange nuptials. With the help and support of my loving fiance, I've hopped back on the healthy eating bandwagon and have started going back to the Title Boxing Club Power Hour classes. I have to say, despite hating working out, I do enjoy attending the classes at Title. It's one hour of good cardio exercise and I know it will bring results to both my waistline and my overall attitude. I'm shooting to go to classes three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This leaves Tuesday and Thursday for less healthy hobbies (read wargaming).
Not only do I plan to keep up with the exercise, I fully intend to incorporate healthier cooking into my life. I really enjoy cooking. I would even go as far to say that I enjoy it as much as playing nerd games. On Sunday, I tried my hand at fish, and ended up with a delicious salmon cut. The meal consisted of baked salmon, roasted asparagus, and whipped cauliflower with a dark chocolate espresso panna cotta for dessert. I feel I'll have to start adding my culinary adventures to this blog.
To all of you reading this, Thanks and have a happy new year!

Dominions: A Dark Angels Successor Chapter
Chapter Name: Dominions
Primarch: Lion El'Jonson
Chapter Master: Nuriel Ignatium
Homeworld: Empyrean
Colours: Olive Drab
Specialty: Negotiations and Siege Warfare
Battle Cry: "In the light of the Emperor, we find truth!"
Dominions
The "Dominions" (lat. dominatio, plural dominationes, also translated from the Greek term kyriotites as "Lordships") or "Dominations" are presented as the hierarchy of celestial beings "Lordships" in the De Coelesti Hierarchia. The Dominions, also known as the Hashmallim, regulate the duties of lower angels. It is only with extreme rarity that the angelic lords make themselves physically known to humans. They are also the angels who preside over nations.
The Dominions are believed to look like divinely beautiful humans with a pair of feathered wings, much like the common representation of angels, but they may be distinguished from other groups by wielding orbs of light fastened to the heads of their scepters or on the pommel of their swords.
The Dominions have made a name for themselves deposing planetary governors whom they have deemed corrupt or ill suited to govern. This has earned them several enemies.
More to come. . .

Final Models For The Year
Here are a few pictures of what I have been working on for December. They are not 100% completed. There are a few details I need to paint as well as some more weathering and battle damage.

Final Countdown
With three weeks left in 2012, I've been keeping my promise and meeting my goal of completing a unit/vehicle a month. Seven days into December, I have this months model, a Space Marine Rhino, completely base coated and several highlights added to it. I think with a few additional highlights and some weathering, I'll have this completed before the month is even half over. I have been simultaneously painting a Space Marine Dreadnought, and I must say, it has been a pleasure to paint and is turning out to be a really nice looking model. With the 60mm base, it opens up the opportunity to create a nice scenic base. I added some wreckage to the base and it gives the model a lot of character. I can see myself assembling several more Dreadnoughts, if not only to create scenic models.
There has been a lot of talk at the local Games Workshop about starting up a 40K Escalation League at the end of January, so I have been working on a 500pt list to start things out. I really want to play using Codex: Dark Angels; however, it is an older list and Codex: Space Marines has most all of the same options, only cheaper and sometimes better. Rumor has it that a new book for Dark Angels will be released in January. At this point, I am up in the air on which book to use. Regardless, my January model is a little ambitious, well, for me at least. I plan on completing a Razorback with a five man Tactical Squad and my army's warlord, Chapter Master Nuriel of the Dominions.
