Death company Stormlord!

Hey there! I decided to buy myself a Stormlord and make it my own by having it taken by death company. when i modeled it i took the I.G tank commander off and put on a death company marine with a jetpack (just to make it interesting) i thought it was quite funny.


I also have 15 more death company to put together, and using the stormlord as a transport is amazing, plus since the Stormlord counts as open topped, I can charge too, This will get me the most out of my assault when I do my armored rush since they gain those extra attacks when assaulting.


Also I am looking forward to Friday for our first broadcast of Bay Hammer radio at 6pm pst on ustream. Tune in to hear myself, Scott and D navigate their way through the airwaves.

Memorial Day


Most of us will spend today with friends and family over bbq and large amounts of fermented hops will be consumed. But let us not forget the reason for this holiday. This post goes out to all those men and women who serve to protect this country and its interests, regardless of personal bias or creed. And to those who died serving their country. I have a story which may bring some of us down to earth. Its not sad or tragic or heroic. A few months ago WCC received a large order from a USMC soldier who was being redeployed to a forward operating base in Afghanistan, he wanted to be able to play while off duty. Even on the front lines the members of the 40k and fantasy community continue to enjoy the simple pleasures of this game. It takes all kinds to build a community from the soldier on his 3rd or fourth tour, to the guy from accounting. So this memorial day raise your glass for the men and women of the US armed services.

Cheers

Calling all Heretics


Recently I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and administrator for Throne of skulls, not only do we currently share a burning grudge against the eldar but ToS is a bay area based site. A chaos oriented site, ToS is a web community devoted entirely to those who field the fierce minions of the blood god. They have a number of active pages and gallery's. Members share collective works and there are a number of fascinating entry's about pre heresy armies as well as show and tell page for completed projects. So if you like Khorne or just chaos in general go check them out at Throneofskulls.com or click the new banner on the right side.

Cheers

BH Exclusive: New Leman Russ Unboxing

First a disclaimer, I received the kit as a demo model. No money was paid to get an advance copy of the kit and it is being assembled for display purposes.



Now with that out of the way. What can I show you that the sprue pictures on GW haven't already shown (not much to be honest). What I can talk about is the over all feel of the components and their detail. Over all the kit is just a mimic of the new demolisher kit (obviously) The variant barrels are rather simple in detail, the nova cannon is the same as the one in the baneblade/hell hammer kit, there are a few differences, unlike the hell hammer cannon the Russ version is a single piece and feels much sturdier.



But over all this is a step in the right direction for GW, having an all in one kit is much more economically friendly then prior options (having to buy from FW) I still feel though that the turret is rather crude and if given the choice I would buy a Ryza pattern vanquisher turret from forge world. The battle cannon is still the same and the exterminator bit looks well enough. I think over all though the popular choice aesthetically is going to be the nova cannon, its a decent short range weapon that packs almost as much punch as a demolisher and its the most visually pleasing in my opinion.

UPDATE:
After assembling the body and turret I have noticed that both the battle cannon and the vanquisher cannon fit snugly enough that they could be swapped out easily without having to magnetize.

Happy building

BH Radio: Sneak peak at the studio

That's right after months of bartering and negotiations Bay Hammer Radio finally has a studio space. Not only the but we have some rather classy recording equipment as well (no more sharing the one mic like on train wreck) So basically over the past few months I have been busy with work and various other time consuming life necessity's, but recently WCC acquired a new storage space and by extension that part of the building, so you can imagine the reaction I had when I recived the call about possibly setting up a studio there for the webcast.



Its a little spartan at the moment but I have swing mic stands coming in and hopefully a few office chairs and posters to liven the place up. More updates on that as I work a bit more on setting everything up.

So that being said I will announce that Bay Hammer Radio will be returning to the airwaves June 5th to cover the release of Spearhead, the show will air at 6pm PST. The broadcast will be hosted on our USTREAM page located here

More Saucy Warlock Pics


While I have been feverishly cranking out guardsmen D has been busy methodically painting up his 2 foot death machines that will most likely wipe out half my infantry in an unfortunate falling accident. Anyways this wont be a word heavy post just lots of eye popping, wallet draining goodness, enjoy.






Don't forget to swing by tomorrow for a special announcement regarding Bay Hammer Radio (Which I am quite enthused to finally be able to post about) Comments and questions always welcome.

Happy Hunting
