A Tale of 2HD Gamers - pt1

Recently found a new hobby store in my old 'hood - just as I was starting to do up my AoBR marines a Grey Knight in the area sponsored a 'Tale of 4 Gamers" style competition.

The first months' entries happened during a 40k mini-tournament - I placed 3rd in the tournament and tied for the lead in the Tale of 2HD Gamers with 7 points. I'm in bold.

Month 1 scoring / Current standings;
7 Thomas - fully painted, 2 games (tourney), 1 win, Best painted
7 Tristan - fully painted, 2 games (tourney), 1 win, 1 objective
5 Ken - fully painted, 2 games (tourney)

For reference (Grey Knight)

Some pics of my captain, with base colours.

Space Sharks update - Captain & Command squad built

I've been building these guys as the parts come in. Trying for a very unified look so using a small selection of bits. Some stuff I'm going for with this chapter.

• Very "army/marine" look with lots of kill markings, etc.
• Vehicles with shark tooth decals (converted to be/look amphibious)
• Drop pods with similar stylings.
• Lots of dreadnoughts/no scouts.
