Shadow War 30K

 I found the Shadow Wars in the Age of Darkness group on FB a few months ago and fell in love with the idea of using Shadow War Armageddon for some Horus Heresy era skirmishing. Using my favorite edition (2nd) of 40K close combat (also found in original Necromunda). So I took the pdf and edited it for my own use and had a couple of copies printed. 

For anyone interested in the rules, you can find them here.

Next I started painting out starting teams for the legions...

Then invited a lifelong friend over for some gaming!

We have had a bit of a break since covid hit last year, but hopefully soon we can pick up the action. I took the Space Wolves vs. his choice of Death Guard. We have played 3 games so far and I am looking forward to more (and hopefully more regular posts in the near future - but we know how that goes).

After years of radio silence, we are back...

So my hobby time dropped off for a couple of years there as we were moving to a new house and work was taking up a lot of time. Then suddenly this year, I have gone off of the deep end and gone full tilt into 30k - Age of Darkness, Horus Heresy gaming...

I have painted up over 1,700 points of VIth Legion (Wolves) as well as 1,200 points of Blackshields in the last 3 months. To top that, I went and ordered a 4x4 section of Zone Mortalis. What was I thinking...

In the coming days, I will detail my struggle to paint my ZM boards here. For now enjoy some pics of my painted armies and today's delivery from Forge World.

WARBAND! Now with a color cover!

New models to paint.

I ordered these a couple of weeks ago from the Wargames Foundry and started painting them today...

Today was a Beast of a day...

I got this chaos warrior in the mail (an ebay win)...

Then I got to work on this Beastman I got from ebay a few weeks ago...he is a subject to Ugarit and serves as a SBI (ship borne infantry) trooper aboard the space fleet.

Another old Rogue Trader era space marine joins the Gaping Maw.

Another of my favorite pose joins the Gaping Maw legion today. The legion now numbers 7 painted troops.

I have completed Old smash-nose and he has joined the growing band of warriors...
