Flesh Eaters Space Marine Objectives

As promised, here are pictures of the Objectives I bult and painted for the army. Their first outing was the February 2012 40K Doubles Tournament at Warhammer World, where I was very pleased to win the best objectives award. I'm really happy with them, and I find they add a lot of character to games. My favourite is probably the Marine who's taking a quick snack mid battle. The Flesh Eaters need to get to him to preserve the secret - unfortunately, in one memorable Doubles game, this objective was claimed by my ally, Pat Dunford and his Battle Sisters - a unit of Seraphim stood around him, horrified...

 
For those Flesh Eaters who can stay their hunger and wait for their meat to be cooked, there's the BBQ-Droid-5000.

Slightly less silly, is the unfortunate soul who was entrusted with the SECRET DOCUMENTS.

Next up is the Servitor with Necro-Sludge. Don't ask me why it's so important, future soldiers are fighting over it; I don't know.

 I hear they have a great corporate responsibly policy.

 Finally, wounded Techmarine clutching melta bomb. I'm... not sure... how much longer... I can hold onto... this thing...!

Let's Try That Again Shall we...

As reported in previous posts, Pat and I utterly failed to get two new armies ready for the Doubles Tournament in February. I did however, get the Flesh Eaters up to scratch in time for it though, adding a Medic to the army. I'll post the full 875 point force, including those award-winning objectives (yes, they did actually win "Best Objectives"!) in a future post. I'll also post the full 1750 Flesh Eater army as well, which went on to win Bristol Vanguard Vanquish 2012 gaming tournament. In the mean time, the invincible Pat and Matt team up continues, this time in 6th edition 40K. I'm looking to take my Imperial Fists, as I'm convinced lots of Tactical Squads in Rhinos that can fall back and rally are the way to go. They do need some support in the gunishment stakes, hence this chap. Just finished building him, and he obviously needs painting, but I reckon quad-Autocannon should be good for shooting down pesky aircraft. I wanted him to look heavily reinforced, to support the weight and recoil of the massive cannons, so I used the Ironclad Dreadnought body. If I can fit them on the base, I'll try and add some Big-O style reinforcement chains that he's shot into the ground to counter the enormous recoil.
