Whats this?

So I used to have a blog over on WP called Tanith Magna. It was pretty much dedicated to my WH40K Tanith Imperial Guard -I will never call them Astra Militarum- army. I pretty much bought as many sets of Tanith minis (vice individual mini's) from ebay back in 2009 to 2011, as I could get my grubby mitts on. Right afterwards, the cost of those mini's went up too, so I might have had a hand in that. Sorry to anyone looking for them nowadays about the cost!

Seeing as I used to wargame as much as I played RPGs -probably more truth told-, I always thought about having another blog for it to compliment the RPG one. Never really did anything with it because of the WP one. But now that I have time on my hands, I figured no time like the present. So I copy/pasted the blog entries over (with the correct dates).

Adding fuel to this fire is GW putting out Kill Team as a stand alone set from 40K, that uses the same minis for the most part. I picked up the starter, another set of the minis, two Sector sets (so far) -Mechanicus and Wall of Martyrs-, and the Tau starter box (to add more Wall pieces to what I had). The upcoming releases for it are looking awesome. They even released Gaunt's Ghosts and Schaffer's Last Chancers cards (with a purchase of the mini sets) at the Kill Team Open last year. Thankfully people shared the cards online after the fact, because the secondary market is already nasty.

In addition to the Ghosts, I also have the following armies:

Warhammer 40000
  • Dark Angels 1st Company "Deathwing" - Literally a full company
  • Dark Angels 2nd Company "Ravenwing" - Same
  • Dark Angels 5th Company - Same; I've kinda of been a DA fan since 4th Ed
  • Bran Red Maws Great Company - Less Wulfen than fluff says and more Thunder Wolves
  • Stormtrooper Company -The old Inquisitional ones
  • Elysian Droptroopers - The old Forge World ones, with Valkyries (couple are resin too!)
I have assorted 30K marines, Death Guard, Deathwatch, Primaris Marines, Skitarii, Genestealers, and two Knight Titans from the various starters too. I plan on getting my hands on copies of Forgebane and Wake the Dead too, so they'll be around at some point.

Warhammer Fantasy (NOT Age of Sigmar) 

Just alot of Dwarves. Never did like how GW rebooted things, but its their game. I'll probably never get to play them again, but I will finish painting them just because. 

Warmachine/Hordes
  • Circle Orboros
  • Convergence of Cyriss
Relic Knights

Just a double set of Black Diamond minis. I've never actually gotten around to playing, I just wanted the minis. Their pretty cool anime styled sci-fi troopers.

Flames of War
  • Early War German Parachute Pioneers
  • Mid War US Paratroopers (in Africa)
  • Early/Mid War Finnish Army
  • Mid War US Mech Infantry
  • Mid/Late German Panzer Division (Mix of Panzers and Panzergrenadiers)
  • Mid War LRDG-SAS 
  • Mid/Late War 1st Special Service Force
  • Some others that escape me atm... Their 15mm scale, who knows what else I might have bought, because their all in a box together.
French and Indian War
  • Rogers Rangers
  • Mixed British troops
  • British allied Indians
  • Mixed French troops
  • French allied Indians
Yeah I have a bit of plastic crack problem.



On top of all this I have several actual wargames from Avalon Hill, the Honor Harrington ship game from years back, a wide mix of 1 Ed X-Wing minis, the starter for Star Wars Armada, and Heroes of Black Reach.

Well Thats more than I had intended to type, so I'll call it here.

A Gaunt's Ghosts Army Blog

Just a place holder to say after I finish my up my Dark Angels Company, I'll be starting in on the Ghosts.

I have to say I'm a late convert to the Ghosts. I was always more a fan of Space Marines then the IG. Though after having 'Honour Guard' shoved into my hands by a friend, I was hooked. I borrowed his novels and got caught up -to 'Guns of Tanith'- and while waiting to for the next book, got transferred to another unit and kinda of forgot about the 'First and Only'... At which point the Black Library released the first omnibus and I was right back at it! After rereading all three to remember what all happened up to 'Blood Pact' and then reading 'Blood Pact', I got the wild idea to start a Ghosts IG Army.

Now, I'm not going to try and shoe horn the old characters into the new edition. What I am going to do is make an IG army that has the Ghosts flavor. The infantry will be Ghost minis for the original members, Cadians for the Verghastites, and Catachans for the Belladonians. For an added punch my armor will be 8th Pardus Armor and stormtroopers will be Vitrian Dragoons. Over the coming weeks I'll punch up a set of lists -1850, 2000, etc- and get some WIP shots of the squads and platoons as they get put together.

For Tanith! For the Emperor!
