New Project Update

My new project now has a name, and a bold concept.

The name?  Spartan Blood Knights.

The concept?  I am not only going to make a Spartan-themed Blood Angels army, I am going to use the same models to make a Spartan-themed Grey Knight army.  Let me be clear here:  I am going to use the same models.  Literally.  Let me clarify further, in case you haven't gotten it:

Blood Angels will become Grey Knights with simple arm and gear changes, all magnetized.

Okay, so maybe it's not very bold to the more experienced 40k crowd, but for my small group of Sunday players, it's a pretty grand idea.  I even have a 1750 list for both, and the only models that will be used for just one army are 2 Razorbacks and 4 Rhinos.

Here are the lists:

  2x Psycannon   
  4x Nemesis Demonhammer  
  Razorback   
    Psybolt Ammo  
Venerable Dreadnought   190
  TL Autocannon

Okay, so maybe the lists aren't highly competitive, but that's okay, as much as I'd like to win at a tournament or two, I'm not making this army to be a heavy hitter, just something fun to play with.  (My competitive list will be Khusters Cav, as the ruined models will be restored later down the road.  Once I figure out how to do that.)

I will post pics of the parts once they arrive.  I also will be reading up on modelling with green stuff, as I intend to make the Sanguinary Guard swords look like spartan swords from 300.
