Big Announcement/ Game Changer!

Like an usurper from the north, he comes to destroy! No agenda, no goals, no satiating his thirst to destroy. Only the death and destruction of every fig he will get his pudgy fingers on. With only months to prepare, how will Black Matt's Black Legion Blog survive this? We will see?


dropzilla vs. BCJ


Ahhhhhhh, James' misery is always so enjoyable! This is the first time that I have gotten a space marine mech list on the table and I was surprised that I did not dominate more. I am getting better with the list everytime I play it, but I just hate dealing with all those gaunts! Horde armies always sound fun until you have to move them all around. And in a tournament, forget-about-it!





and



That's it!! I quit!!! Selling the pods that is!!

I just sold the last of my drop spores and I wanted to say thank you to everyone who either bought some, plugged my site, or just stopped by to check them out! Some of the things that I have coming up are some tyranid battle reports and theory ideas, but I will be swinging the hobby focus back onto my Black Legion. I will be splitting and selling my Tyranid army after I paint over 80 gaunts to anyone interested.
That is a picture of my leg and the chirumeks of the Black Legion have said things look good after my first operation to become a CSM!! Seriously, thank you to everyone who offered words of encouragement.
Anyway, enjoy the video below as it shows the current state of my CSM army!!! Death to the False Emperor!!!!!!



Drop Pods vs. Dropzilla


This battle report is one that I have been wanting for a few weeks. Ever since Ed and I came up with the idea that it would be a lot of fun and visually stunning. Painted models only and as many drop pods as possible. I will admit that I thought that......... Never mind, watch the video and I will comment and explain choices or regrets in the comment section below.



vs. Danny Internets

Hello Everyone,
Today I got in two games over at the club and the first one was against Danny Internets from http://www.baldandscreaming.com/ When I wrote my list, I had Danny in mind. His army and the game play that comes with it is the hardest at the club. So if I could win against him and his guard then my list was definetly a "doofer." You know, a do for now!;)
**EDIT** There is a rules question in the video that I would like to know what everyone thinks about. Can The Doom of Malanta effect units inside a transport, much like the way a Farseer can guide or fortune a unit outside of the transport he is in?


Tyranid Army Showcase


First off, Thank you to everyone who stopped by to checkout my Landing Spores! Second, An EXTRA big thanks to everyone in the blogosphere that helped me get the word out! Sniff, Sniff, I want to give everone a bro hug!!

Ok, OK back to war! That which makes us MEN, who play with little toy soldiers! I am showing off my Tyranid army in this video. Its a tad long because I went on a tangent, but enjoy! Death to the False Emperor!!!!!!!!!



Landing Spores are here! Come get them while they're hot!




With all the politikin' that I have been doing lately, I didnt get in the Tyranid podzilla battle report that I was hoping for. If I can play tonight at the corp, that's what will surface tomorrow. I am going to be selling Tyranid Landing Spores/ Mycetic Spores here on my blog. Take a look at the unpainted pictures and note excatly what it is that you will be getting when you buy one. Completely unpainted or unsealed, they stand 5.5" tall and are the same heighth and diameter as a plastic drop pod from GW. Please note that the painted ones on top have had the base modeled to look that way. The bottoms will come with the same organic texture as the tentacles on the side. The white pods at the bottom of this post are what you will be buying.

If you dont have your own solution, this is the way to go! Its not rocket science and if you can make it yourself, go ahead and way to go! But if not, then buy them from me since I am out on workers comp and need to pay the bills somehow! Boo Hoo I know, but I am just taking care of business! If you want them, come get them because I won't be doing this for ever!





Tyranid Hive tyrant


With Tyranids coming down and dominating my modeling life, I had to soak some up for content! The tyranid army that I bought off of Ultrabob before christmas is getting a reboot. I want to say that I am speed painting this army, but I am just redoing some of it and touching up other parts. Ultrabob has done an excellent job, but I want it tip-top before I get it on the table. Tune back in on Monday when I reveal my solution to the mycetic spore dilemna!!!



Its raining Mycetic Spores!


The answer to all your indecisions about what to use for the Mycetic Spores are almost here! This morning, I am in Surgery to repair a Dangerous Terrain Test that I failed back in Spring! I have had this Landing Spore project planned for about a week and I plan on "fulfilling a lot of needs" with these Landing Spores. In my eyes they are a perfect proxy since GW doesnt have a fig for it yet. And according to Fritz, I am a perfectionist! So, like I said, the answer is coming on Monday. Here are some ankle pics in case anyone forgot!

Well, I know its at a snails pace but quality over quantity, right? Even though to be fair, I still put out a lot. ;)

Dark Creed Book Review



My first book review!!

SHORT VERSION
Yeah I liked, not as much as the first two, but I liked it!

LONG VERSION
I like this book and I LOVE the series leading up to it but I cant help but feeling a little disappointed by the third in the series. I am not well versed in Literature so I dont know if the book applies the 5 principles of good writing or other tom-foolery, but it flowed well and I didnt get bored. As is always present in Space Marine novels, good or evil, there is always a move shoot and assault series of battle scenes. The battle scenes always bore me and I hardly pay attention to them, even though I LOVE reading these books. The way I am most often entertained is the way these novels flesh out the 40K universe with character development and new ways to visualize Chaos, Necrons, Eldar or any race in the unforgiving future. And that is where I think this book has failed a little bit! I read it because I was eager, and finished it because I wanted to know what happened to the characters! I like the book and definetly suggest it after reading the first two but my love belongs with, Dark Apostle and Dark Disciple. In the first two, the Word Bearers are a ZEALOT fighting force with pure faith and unflinching belief. The Corphyus would NEVER EVER doubt the word of his Dark Apostle. There was unity and truth of purpose, and nothing, but the will of the true gods could sway their direction. The third did not continue that story element and that if anything is what was wrong with the story! Is it written well, I dont know. Is it 40K goodness? Yes and an extra Yes because it is Chaos. Did it live up to my expectations? No, nothing ever does. This series is a HUGE source of inspiration for my Black Legion army. You know, the one that I havent posted about in a few months! It would of had a Word Bearers army except for "HAIL HORUS," attitude!!!!
Anyway, read the damn book! Your brain needs the exercise! Death to the False Emperor!!!!!!!!!!

THE END

possible powerfist color change


This is what I have been thinmking about doing to my Imperial Fists in order to get a little more color on them. This was a trial run just to see. THe dry brush didnt come out to smooth and I would spend more time if I do the whole army this way. I likey, what do you think!?

The video is me talking about what Im taking to the conflict gt! Im still unsure!
