Deadzone Asterians - Updated

Some new Asterian pictures have emerged on the Mantic forums...and they're looking great...

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.

Forge World Newsletter #385

I can see these Command Sets seeing used in as many 40K armies as Horus Heresy ones. My own Chapter might be tempted to get some...if 7th Edition 40K is any good...

...I may be biased by the fact that I'm a big fan of Mark III armour though...

The origins of MkII Crusade power armour hark back to the dawn of the Great Crusade when Mankind travelled out into the stars to forge the Imperium. Even during the Horus Heresy, Crusade armour is still one of the most common suits used within the Legiones Astartes and many of the earliest examples carry with them a glorious history.These suits are often reworked by master artificers to show the elevated status that their wearer now carries, be they leaders, champions, line officers or standard bearers.

The MkII Command Set, designed by Israel Gonzalez, is a complete multi-part resin kit comprising two models: one armed with a thunder hammer and with the choice of helmeted or bare head, the other is equipped with a Legion standard and chainsword. These models can be used to represent a variety of different roles in the Legion army list from The Horus Heresy Book One: Betrayal, from Centurions to Veteran Sergeants, and are available now for immediate despatch.

MkIII Iron armour is a modification of Crusade armour where the MkII’s frame is reinforced with additional ablative armour plates. The increased bulk of the suit makes it less suitable for jump infantry, but the improved protection is invaluable when fighting in tight confines where room to manoeuvre is limited.

The MkIII Command Set, designed by Israel Gonzalez, is a complete multi-part resin kit comprising two models: one drawing a large power sword and with the choice of helmeted or bare head, the other is equipped with a Legion standard and bolt pistol. These models can be used to represent a variety of different roles in the Legion army list from The Horus Heresy Book One: Betrayal, from Centurions to Veteran Sergeants, and are available now for immediate despatch.

Remember, if you have any Free Standard Shipping vouchers remaining, you can use one to receive free standard shipping when you purchase this fantastic new release.

One of the heavy artillery units available to the Legiones Astartes is the Medusa, which carries a short ranged but extremely powerful siege mortar capable of breaching all but the thickest walls. When a breach has been secured, the Medusa will then move forwards to support the assault, and is capable of levelling buildings with a single shell.

The Legion Medusa, designed by Blake Spence, is a complete multi-part resin and plastic kit that includes two Legiones Astartes crew in MkIV power armour. The rules for the Legion Medusa can be found in The Horus Heresy Book One: Betrayal.

Not a Weekly House of Paincakes Article (3)

For those of you who aren't aware I'm back to my old 'once every two weeks' schedule for House of Paincakes articles...

If you want something to read then I humbly suggest you read this vague justification for my Deadzone/Warpath army or click on any of the tabs at the top of the blog.....

This weeks gallery is going to be a Cosplay one and it'll be featuring Rogue as I've heard that her scenes (or 'scene' if were being accurate) are getting cut from the new X-Men : Days of Future Past movie though I'm sure it'll be an inevitable inclusion on the DVD release...they always are...

If your not interested in pictures of cosplayers dressed as Rogue then just don't scroll down.

.....

....

...

..

.

She's had a few costume changes over the years...

Legacy...

Evolution...

Dark...

...and some that I don't remember at all...possibly because they never really existed outside of the cosplayer in questions imagination...I'm sure one of her uber fans will be happy to let me know in the comments section...

 To finish off, here's a few group shots...

...and one that I've included because it has Stan Lee in it and is therefore automatically awesome...

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.
