Imperial servitor Tarkanus got to imbed with one of the latest recon patrols. This is what he observed as our boys in blue head out to pull some surveillance on some orks.

"I thought I was imbedding into an elite unit, I mean these guys are supposedd to be airborne and shit. What I found is that they are a bunch of home erotic f*#tards that I wouldn't trust around my own mother for fear of having to call them....Dad?!?

I seriously don't know how our training standards have fallen this far! I will have to make a vehement report to the commandant when I get back."....

...." We inserted into our dropzone in the dead of night. It was supposed to be silent and quick. That is until Trooper Gatling fell and farted when he hit the ground. Instead of pulling security his whole squad busted into giggles, till Sgt. Harper growled at them to be quiet."...

...."We then marched through the night to our hidesite in an abandoned village 12 clicks away. It was pretty quite except for Radio Operator Grove whining the whole time about how is ruck was so heavy with all his extra batteries. He kept asking me to take a few but I refused. We set up our observation post. Lt. Jones and Sgt. Harper inspected the line making sure everything was as it should be."

...."We set in for a long week of surveillance. It is pretty monotonous, I guess that's why the troopers have become so unprofessional. Last night they stripped Trooper Bazooka naked, tied him up, then poured honey and crushed up crackers all over him. Seriously how long do I have to stay out here with these guys? I might call into galactic command to send a ship in for me. "....

...." Things have gotten pretty tense over the night. Ork patrols have smelled us and are now searching for our position. The Patrol is on high security, as we observe their movements. One of the surveillance teams came in earlier with several ork heads. When I told them that the were not supposed to engage the enemy they just shrugged and said they had gotten to close. I have had just about enough of this unit. I have called into galactic command for a ship to come pick me up. I am not staying out with these degenerates one more night!"....

Sgt. Harper acting commander 2nd recon patrol: " Well that idiot Tarkanus called in a ship from galactic command, without me or the LT knowing. As it came in it began to take rocket fire from ork tribesmen out in the sandy dunes. As it landed outside the compound is when things really heated up.

I guess an ork patrol followed the ship in, with out saying a word to any of us Tarkanus just ran for the ship. The Lt saw the Orks and ran to cover Tarkanus. The orks opened up, a slugga round slammed into Tarkanus nearly cutting him in half. The boys really opened up trying to cover the Lt and the ship. Lt reached Tarkanus and tried pulling his body back, while waving off the ship. He then took a plasma round evaporating him and Tarkanus into blue goo. The pilot saw this and puked as he was taking off. He must have got some puke on the controls cause he banked hard crashing right into the ork patrol. I took the recon team up to check for survivors, but they were all dead.

I gathered up the patrol, and called in an extraction point 3 clicks away. We moved hard and fast, and Trooper Grove bitched about how heavy his extra batteries where the whole time. "

Nice. Those Copplestone figures match pretty well with the Cadians.

Imperial servitor Tarkanus ...

Lovey work sir! With the name 'Tarkanus'..... I have to ask.... are you a fan of Gentlemen Broncos and Jermaine Clements' depiction of a hilariously self obssessed Sci Fi author 'Ronald Chevalier' and his advice on sci-fi and fantasy naming conventions?

This is good too :0

Warburton, ya they really mixed in well, and give a very campaign feel to the whole group.

Gunbird good eye, yup I did cut his head off!!! I really like how the conversion turned out.

Shortscale thanks, and no I have never heard of this. But that is some funny stuff.

Getting back into the "Wing" of things.
https://givemlead.blogspot.com/2015/01/getting-back-into-wing-of-things.html#more

Not sure why but I have really been getting the itch to get my Deathwing Army on the table top. I have never actually played Rogue Trader or anything 40k. so it would be an entirley new venture. The only reason I have this army is for Space Hulk and I got really inspired to paint them a few years back from site such as:
Vanus Temple- Where I got the display board and objectives.
From the Warp
Anyway I had them out and decided to take some new pics. I had made some slight changes, there are some other little touch up i would like to do as well. Interesting not on the banner. I actually cut it out of a white Dwarf, and painted over the page. I felt it was a nice bit of nostalgia and maybe it will bring the banner a little luck on the dice rolling. I will be bringing these to Oldhammer Allentown! Possibly with some super secret additions.

Got my new Rogue Trader Schmendrick in the command squad. I am currently adding in the 40K Worg from Hassle Free. He is currently on the painting table.

I really liked how the chaplain turned out.

I really need to get some names painted on these dreads.

You can tell I'm a fantasy player, hardly a ranged weapon in sight. STABBY STABBY! It's the only way to go. Well at least I think so, possibly a bit Stillmaniacentric.
