So I picked up the new Space Marine Spearhead which included 3 of the new Space Marine Scout Bikes.
So I collected by two boxes of old space Marine Scouts and combined these with the 3 new bikes along with one of my Chaos Bikes and several Ravenwing Parts from my growing Dark Angels bits.
Now, yes I know that Dark Angels do not use Scout bikers but that doesn’t mean that I cannot build a divergent branch (Successor chapter) of the Dark Angels that is built more along the lines of the Standard Codex, plus I’ve always dreamed of an all Scout army, which in Apocalypse is always a possibility!
Here are photos of the WIP, assembed and based:

Well, I picked up a pack of the new Space Marine Scout Bikes with the Space Marine Spearhead.
The major differences between these and the older scout bike are that
I went ahead and modded some of my older scout bikes to be similar to the new scout bikes, this involved cutting and shaving the foot rests to be closer to the new scout footrests.

Well, things were a little productive today as I was able to prime the 40 terminators and 4 droppods today. I started my priming with some older GW prime white paint. Unfortunately I ran out of this can before I had finshed my job of priming the back sides of the terminators and the top and insides of the Droppods. As I am now officially out of the GW primer (as they have discontinued the line), I finished the priming with auto primer that I picked up from Home Depot.
Now the models are sitting up high on my shelf to allow the primer to dry and cure before I place any more paint on the models.

With the addition of the 10 terminators that I picked up from the new GW box sets Space Marine Sets, I finally got my act together and finished assembling my Deathwing Terminators.
8 squads of 5 terminators each, with a commander fig to lead them all:
Standard load out for the squads is a Assault cannon w/Chain fist, so that the terminator can make up for his loss of his heavy weapon in close combat with and extra anti vehicle oomph.
I mixed the sergeants up with either paired lightening fists or a power sword/storm bolter combo.
The new terminators mixed easily with the older plastic terminators.
Now I’m ready for that next apocalypse game with my for new dreadnaught drop pods to add to my 12 troop drop pods.
Death from above!!

Hey guys, I just built this in Excel because my MAC won’t run Army Builder and I needed something to help me print out army lists.
Give it a gander and please provide some feedback for me about this, constructive feedback to make is better is appreciated.
I posted it here:
I built this due to the fact that my Macintosh cannot run Wolflair’s Army Builder program and I need to print out army lists for my 40k games on a regular basis.

Well, Gamesworkshop has released several new Space Marine releases this month. First up was the Assault on Black Reach box set, which provides both old and new players with some really nice starting armies for Space Marines and Space Orks.
Not being an Ork players, I went ahead and split my box up and traded the Orks for the Space Marines of another player’s box set.
This provided an outstanding deal of:
All a great deal for $60
To round out my purchase I also picked up the new Space Marine Spearhead. Now this wasn’t as much of a deal $$ wize, but it did allow me early access for the new Space Marine codex, the new plastic scout bikes, Sternguard, Vanguard, SM special characters, and the totally awesome Drop Pod:
On looking over the space pod, I realize that if I construct it with its doors closed (standard configuration for the drop) that I will be able to utilize all the parts inside for more bit projects. Given that most people only really want to play with the drop pod with the profile of the 4″ diameter of the closed pod, rather than the 11″ diameter of the open pod, this will be a good thing.
I plan an picking up a couple more for my dreadnaughts in the near future.
