My last post is from about a month ago and quite a bit has happened since! I played a Heresy tournament in mid June and then set off on a two week vacation to England. There I played in the A Sector Ablaze Legions Imperialis narrative event at Warhammer World and the Discordia Horus Heresy narrative event in London the weekend after that. Before the journey I finished quite a few miniatures to take with me and play at these events.
With this post I want to look back at the Legions Imperialis event in Nottingham and the last few miniatures I painted to round out the army I played at the event. Next week, I will then have a look at the bigger Blood Angels.

First up, these are the miniatures I brought to the event. I played four different army lists with them depending on the mission: one 1,5k list geared towards defending, on 1,5k list geared towards attacking, and two allrounder lists – one at 2k and one at 3k. Really happy to see the collection I managed to paint here! But of course, seeing a lot of different lists at the event, I want to paint (at least!) the rest of the stuff, I have already primed. First and foremost the Scimitar Jetbikes and one Reaver Titan, but I'd love to do all the Drop Pods and maybe do a narrative scenario around a drop assault...

| Pict 1608: Legions Imperialis Blood Angels Terminators, Veteran Tacticals Marines and Tarantulas |
These miniatures here were the ones I painted to finish out these lists: Four more Tarantulas, four stands of Terminators and two stands of Tacticals. The latter are once again built using some special weapon Marines and painted with the gold helmets to style them as Veterans.

The event pack also called for two Forward Operating bases that would have to have to be on 40mm bases instead of the usual 32mm. Painting them up was surprisingly fast – they have about as many miniatures on them as a normal stand of infantry. But there is more space between them which makes painting easier.

During lunch on the first day you could put your markes in a display case in the gaming hall and all the players got to vote for their favourite one. I was very happy at the end of the weekend to find out that my Markers got the most votes and I received a shiny glass trophy for them! I was also voted the most sporting player – an award I was even more honoured by!

| Pict 1613: Legions Imperialis Objective Markers |
Lastly, while I was at it, I also painted these generic Objective markes to use in games of Legions Imperialis. I had them with me at Warhammer World, but they were not used in the Missions we played. Still, I'm happy to have them and use them in games from now on.
