So by now you'll all be aware that Dreadfleet was announced today. I, for one, so excited my brain may well explode violently at any given second. The miniatures are amazing, the fluff is cool and, more importantly than any of that, It's About Warhammer Pirates! I must have it. I've stuck a smattering of hyper links in this paragraph so that you all can go check it out. Be warned! If, like me, you look at Dreadfleet and decide you want it, drop what ever you are doing and go advanced order it right now. This game will disappear fast. If you don't advanced order it you will almost certainly miss out, and then you will be damned to wander the earth for the rest of your days, lamenting your ill fate.

In other news. Today GW Wellington was running a Black Powder event which I took part in. It was a Blast (hur hur hur). The idea of the event was to show Ogre players the hazards of artillery, and shown they were. My Helblaster opened up for 28 hits, setting the stage for a long line of very effective shooting phases. The game ended early with the Ogres having been hosed of the table through the combined might of the Imperial artillery and massed ranks of Saurus warriors and Tomb king Beasts and magic. A real star was the Terrorgheist which killed the Ogre beasts with ease each turn. Here are the pics I took of the event.
The extremely bright artillery crews in the empire line are what I've been working on for the last few days. The Black powder event got me thinking about my long suffering Empire army, so I dug through and pulled out a couple of cannons and my Helblaster Volleygun. Having looked through the Empire army book and the excellent "Uniforms and Heraldry of the Empire" I was really torn as to which colour scheme to go with. I was thinking about the white of Reikland or something, but I really wanted something that would really pop. After chatting with Nathan at the GW Wellington store I decided to go with the Red and Yellow of Talabecland. Bellow are some images of the Artillery as they turned out.
I'll post soon on how I painted the yellow on these. I figure I'll do the technique how tos and the like as separate posts. Obviously I'm still hammering out the layout for this stuff.
Also, If you'd like to see something covered, be it painting or modelling or anything come join us on the Bellum Malleus Facebook page or email me at Bellum.Malleus@gmail.com .
Cheers
