Converting another Space Marine Captain

Introduction

After creating Captain Zsombicus, I thought of another gift I should give: to the Blood Angels player, whose Vindicator and Predator have seen many games in the Ulpia campaign on the chaos side.

Uprising on Mane Primus - Mission #1 Game

Mission

Loosely based on Crucible of War - Ambush. However, I decided to simplify and/or disregard a lot of advanced rules, as this was the first Warhammer 40k game for my opponent, the player behind Alpha Squad. As such: skip the whole advanced rules section of the rulebook, no Seize the Initiative, no Stratagems, no Detachments etc. We focused more on the narrative, anyway.

Win conditions: minor win to eliminate all the enemies. Major win to inflict the last wound on the commander in melee, capturing the officer for later interrogation.

Argus stood at rigid attention along with the rest of Squad Alpha.

It had been 168 hours since they had been put on alert.

*** aboard the Sacrum Pugnus, 2 warp translations since departing the Ulpia system ***

Captain Lexandro brooded in his personal quarters. The furnishing was sparse, but adequate. Perfect for the kind of deep thought he was engaging in. Suddenly, his reverie was interrupted by a blinking red lamp above the entrance. He was needed once more.

Review: Death Guard models

I got my hands on some of the starter set models, as well as a regular Foetid Bloat Drone kit.

Disclaimer: I'm a little late for a review, as I bought these minis about a year ago. I expected to quickly go through and paint them, and have them painted in the pictures. That did not happen, and I don't know when will I get to them, so here goes.
