Introduction
Nothing new about these boys, mostly inspired by the first two Obliterators.
Documenting the winding journey from beginning wargaming and PnP RPG-s, through low budget solutions, to a growing collection of painted miniatures and a veritable chronicle of games and campaigns.
The idea to do this is actually very old. Once upon a time I used a lot of Obliterators in a local tournament. I borrowed the models; saw how well they did; and decided to get some. At the time, we only had the old Finecast models which were a) resin b) horribly expensive. I decided to convert some. Of course with real life knocking out the hobby side of things for a while, it all remained a fanciful idea. When Shadowspear came out and we finally got updated models, I was disheartened to see that the models had grown to be humongous. I left everything half baked... Now as I started on my Chaos Marines, I decided on finishing these lads as well.
Round two of some Chaos on Chaos action, with the scenario taken from Tempest of War (although my opponent request we scrap the extra mission rule, to which I agreed to).
Triangle deployment, with brave, brave Cultists ready to jump on objectives. On my side most things hide inside transports, while the Emperor's Children blob up the center. Abaddon and a large squad of Terminators waiting to teleport in.
I bought the chaos half of Shadowspear when it came out, but never got around to assembling the models. In preparation for the Chaos Space Marine codex release, here's the two Obliterator models.
We carried on with our investigations, relentlessly scouring the halls for anything to do. And we did find a control room, with levers and buttons. We found controls for lighting and heating inside the castle, as well as ambient music and door switches. The first truly interesting lever teleported us to the top floor. Let the dungeon crawl continue!
