Week 5 of painting challenge: A little guard, a lot of dark eldar

Hello everyone, its me L.S.S., taking over for Sammy while he is out on the road for his business. This week we have two more entries from our faithful followers... well one entry and a bunch from a second guy. My own kill point for this week is delayed for now, but should be up by Friday.


First we have Brian with more of his wonderful guard, he called them "Another speed-paint job: A Platoon Command Squad." though they look pretty darn good for a speed-job.

Next we have a HUGE amount of pictures from Ed, I will let him speak for himself about this:

It Came From the Forums: Pink Tyrands! Nard's Nids Gone Wild!

Old School here with another edition of It Came from the Forums and this time, we are looking at some bold, pink and at times tentacally (not a real word) Tyranids! I love the bold colors and sharp lines in this army and really appreciate the fact that the same amount of layering, shading and highlighting went into every model from the biggest bug, like the one above, to the tiny termagants as well. Let's take a look at Nard's Nids!

Kabal of the Obsidian Rose

Hello Everyone,

    Wolfson here bringing you my recently completed Kabalite Warrior Squads from the Kabal of the Obsidian Rose.

The Unforgiven: Sons of Caliban

Old School here with this weeks KP and the end of black armoured Thunder Hammer/ Storm Shield termies for the Death Wing. From here on out, it's all speeders, dreads, bonus white armored command squad extras, some shooty termies ... and some rhino chassis in DA Green. Any way, here are eight termies as my offering.

Warhammer 40k Spearhead Tournament, June 23rd

Hello Everyone, 

General Chaos here with another Tournament announcement. Details are below. Hope to see you all there.

Winding up for 6th or winding down from 5th, which are you?

As we wind our way down from 5th edition, and the rumors of 6th edition coming out as early as next month, our FLGS has seen some interesting attitudes towards the news. We have seen both excitement and begrudging of both the new and the old, but no matter what we have to look forward.

Forge World Decimator Enhanced by Green Stuff Industries!

Quick post here to show my drunk adpeticon purchase and to plug some greenstuff industry work!

20 Necron Immortals; CVinton with double KP for this week

I got caught up last week and though I don't count it as being 100% on the KP, I did my best to make up by cranking out double.  The pink Necron's continue.  Not much to stay about them really, but here's a simple photo dump.  Hail to the Pink!

Dark Footdar Development List vs Death Wing: Rematch Batrep!

Old School here with another battle report of Death Wing vs Wolfson's developmental Dark Footdar, inspired by the talk between Reecius of Frontline Gaming and Hyv3mynd over at Synaps3. In our last game, Wolfson was fresh from a long break away from the game and made a couple mistakes. He may have been beat, but he was not defeated and brought it on strong in our second game ...

DFG Painting Challenge: Forge World Wraith Seer, Down With Bare Plastic!

SeerK here.  Well given the fervor the painting challenge has stirred up,  I thought I would throw my hat into the ring as well.  I have been on a major hiatus in terms of painting so be gentle as I present my first finished project in quite a while.  My Wraith Seer

Traitor Guard Demolisher for the Painting Challenge! Come Join the Fight Against Bare Plastic!

Old School here with a quick entry from Brian at Lead Legion with another addition to his growing horde of Traitor Guard! While last week, he showed us some rebel troops, this time, he rolls out his Leman Russ Demolisher!

The Painting Challenge is really bringing in plenty of freshly painted models and hopefully we will continue to chug along like Brian and get our armies painted! If you want to submit a kill point to the challenge, click the link here or in the middle-right hand column of this blog. Let's make a commitment to get the bare plastic off our tables!

Battle Report: Death Wing vs Developmental DE Webway list!

Old School here with a quick battle report between my Dark Angels and Wolfson's Dark Eldar. We played at the Battle Bunker in Bowie, MD and Wolfson's force may seem a little rag tag, but it is because we were helping him play test his army before he goes out and buys a ton of plastic. Anyway, Wolfson is trying his hand at Web Way DE and his method of employing one of the portals is a large unit of Grotesques below with two Haemonculi and Lady Malis for the psyker protection. He also brought a couple of venoms hidden behind the fortress, a couple of ravagers in the back, and ...

For the Lion, For the Emperor! Old 1st Legion Colors Never Run!

Old School here with another kill point for the challenge! I know this week has been inconsistent, but there has been a ton of real life going on and we are just now starting to settle down. I have been on a mission to finish off my Dark Angels lately and I think I can do it this week and maybe part of next before moving on to finish Hive Fleet Behemoth (oh you didn't think I forgot about them, did you?). Anyway, let's take a look at some terminators!

Tau in the twilight of 5th edition

Sammy here with a little tactics post about tau.

Join the Dark Future Games Network

Old School here to announce that DFG will begin hosting multiple blog rolls and step out as a blog network. It is a natural growth considering we have been helping promote other bloggers and hobbyists for years. Now we plan to push the message to the masses - this is for everyone who ever started a blog because they felt they had something to show or something to say - we want to use our 40,000+ views a month to help you! Here is how to get on board, trust me it's simple:

Necron Royal Court with Nemesor Zahndrekh and Vanguard Obyron

CVnton with a quick photo dump to start off your morning.  Necron Royal Court with Nemesor Zahndrekh and Vanguard Obyron

Week 2 Painting Challenge Round Up (Updated!)

Sammy here again with all the great entries you guys have given us this week. I regretfully did not get my kill point done this week due to real life circumstances. However the show must go on and here is this weeks entries .

Video Battle Report - Mek'inized Orks vs. Dark Eldar

Hello Everyone,

General Chaos here with another Video Battle Report. This was 1500 point game between my Mek'nizied Orks vs. Jon's Dark Eldar. Jon is still learning how to play his (actually they are his wifes') army so he wanted me to bring a list I would play at a tournament. We played one of the mission from the tournament I held last weekend. It was pretty one sided with few bad dice on his end. Like Lelith getting tank shocked and running off the board. But, I think he learned a bit about his army and made some changes. Because he did fairly decent with them at the tournament going 2-1. Enjoy and thanks for watching.

Thunder Punch; The After Glow

Sorry.

I want to start by saying that.  I'm not being funny or gloating.  There was nothing to gloat about today.  I thought this list would be fun and get some laughs but it resulted in neither.  On top of that, it just sucked battle points from people and generated a lot of ties.  So, because of that I wholeheartedly apologize to anyone that I played and anyone that has ever had to play against anyone with a list like this.

Death Wing Squad Painted in Original Legion Colors!

Old School here with my Painting Challenge kill point for this week; a squad of Death Wing Terminators painted in original 1st Legion colors as they would have been up to the "Two-Heads Talking" incident. Anyway, aside from the fact that I had to move back to my crappy camera temporarily, I am pretty happy with these guys and with my force made of "almost fully painted" models, there will be more to come soon!

Thunder Punch! (with a look at the FW skin wolf model!)

I finished the Thunder Wolves I plan on running today in the tournament at Titan's.  I'm really torn this weekend between an effective Necrons list....and this silly list.  The missions really make me an auto lose but I think its a rare opportunity that I would get to play this list and for people to play against this list.  

Pre-Heresy World Eater Drop Pods - Mordian7th enters the DFG Painting Challenge!

Old School here, with a Painting Challenge Kill Point Guest Post from Mordian7th, a super talented artist with a serious love for Heresy Era armies! Anyway, check out his pods, then follow the link at the bottom of the page and explore the great stuff he has been working on over at his blog. Here is Mordian7th ...

Imperial Guard: Static shock no more

Let's be honest with one another, sometimes, your winning list is boring as hell. Take mine for example, it wins... a lot. I mean, it does not win every game, and some games really make me struggle, but in most single game match ups it wins. Unfortunately for my opponents it is usually not a fun game, or so I have been told, because I play a very static Imperial Guard gun-line. I do not move much at all... ever. Lets check out what is normally my list just to get an idea.

Three Kill point Painting Challenge Entries

Sammy here, alright so we have a few entries on this post. First is my Hellhound that I converted from a forge world tauros venator, hopefully the red paint shows up correctly to everyone.

40k Painting Challenge is back!

DFG is challenging you to paint one KP of your army per week.
