Army Showcase- Dark Angels Primaris Marines

With the new Dark Angels codex due out soon, I thought it would be a good time to showcase my Dark Angels Primaris Force. 

This army consists of most of the models from the two boxed sets that have been out for Marines. I have a number of Ravenwing units to add to the force to expand it if necessary. 

Hobby Update 06/01/21- Dark Angels Ravenwing Talonmaster

Today's Hobby Update features a Ravenwing Talonmaster for my Dark Angels army. This unit provides some very strong firepower and buffing abilities for the force. I've been thinking a lot recently about running an all-Ravenwing army once more in 9th edition. Can't wait to get playing again to try it out. 

2020 in Review- St Andrews Wargaming

Well, what a year this has been! 

I thought I would take a look back at the last 12 months to see my hobby progress and how the blog is progressing. Obviously, this has been a very different year for everyone, and has had a big impact on all aspects of life, including hobby work and output. 

Hobby Progress

This has been the year of the Primaris! Most of my hobby output this year has been adding Primaris models to my White Scars and Deathwatch army. The release of the awesome Indomitus boxed set provided a bunch of new units for both armies. 

Winters SEO battle report- Deathwatch vs Orks

I recently got to play Winters SEO again, this time my Deathwatch take on the Orks using the new Marine book. Follow the link to watch the game. 

Army Showcase- White Scars Primaris Army

Here is a showcase of the White Scars Primaris models that I have painted up so far. The lack of gaming at the moment has given me the opportunity to get more units painted up for my White Scars. Most recently, the contents of the Indomitus box have been added to my Scars, giving them more more power on the tabletop. 

I can't wait to get them back on the tabletop to test their abilities with the new codex. The army pictured below comes to about 2600 pts. Add this to almost 5000 pts of original White Scars, and it is quite a sizeable force that could be fielded in its entirety. 

Hobby Update 21/12/20- Primaris Apothecary

Today's Hobby Update features my Primaris Apothecary. This is a really powerful unit in the new codex, and can be spread over my various Marine armies thanks to the generic colour scheme. I didn't actually sped much time on the "arms" on top of the backpack. Odds are these are going to snap off over time, so there was little point in putting much effort into them. In fact, one of them snapped off during the painting, and has been precariously glued back on (the connections are very thin!). 

Hobby Update 11/12/20- White Scars Primaris Lieutenant

Today's Hobby Update features the Indomitus Primaris Lieutenant. This should provide some strong re-rolls for my White Scars units, boosting the power of the assault Intercessors. 

Hobby Update 09/12/20- White Scars Indomitus Captain

Today's hobby update features a White Scars Captain from the Indomitus box. This was a great model to paint up, and should prove a valuable addition to the army. I like the change to the Storm Shield rule, making the squad tougher against low AP infantry. The Relic shield should also help protect against mortal wounds. 

Hobby Update 07/12/20- White Scars Primaris Bladeguard Veterans

Today's Hobby Update features a Bladeguard Veterans squad for my White Scars. This was one of the few units from the Indomitus box that I had yet to paint. They should provide some strong combat punch for the army, with a number of solid, master-crafted power sword attacks. In the assault doctrine, they will be doing 3 damage on the charge, capable to taking out the most powerful infantry units. 

Hobby Update 03/12/20- White Scars Assault Intercessors

 Today's Hobby Update features a new Assault Intercessor unit for my White Scars. Given their propensity for combat, adding another assault unit to the army is a solid option for the force. 

I converted one of the Intercessors to carry a Thunder Hammer to give them a bit more punch in melee. This was converted from a Heavy Thunder Hammer from my Deathwatch spares.
