Howdy! I hope you're reading this in August, or else I've been a bit tardy. This month has been an interesting one. I expressed my excitement a month ago for the new Black Templars supplement and we've seen even more news since that I've been covering on the blog extensively.
This month has been a growth period for the blog. I've tried writing about new topics, utilising varying formats and lengths to see what feels and reads well. Hell, I even wrote an environmentalism piece about Games Workshop which actually received great feedback from people I've spoken to about it.
Earlier in the month, I wrote a long piece about Warhammer 40K's Crusade Ruleset which definitely didn't get much traction. It definitely seems as though 'short and sweet' is the way to go for this blog. Quick 2-minute reads for people on the crapper or their lunch-break. I'm all for it!
But alas, you've eaten your veggies, onto the meat!
Modelling and Painting
Last month, I have a general inventory of my pile o' shame. I can safely say that I have made a decent dent, either by kit-bashing more characters out of existing troops, or by actually painting things. Huzzah!
Again, not counting heads, transfers, or bases, the list currently consists of:
- 3x Infiltrator
- 1x Infiltrator Sergeant
- 2x Eliminator
- 1x Eliminator Sergeant
- 1x Kit-bashed Captain in Terminator Armour
- 1x Kit-bashed Primaris Captain w/ Plasma Pistol + Power Fist
- 1x Kit-bashed Primaris Techmarine
- 1x Bladeguard Veteran
- 1x Kit-bashed Primaris Captain w/ Master-crafted Auto Bolt Rifle + Master-crafted Power Sword
- 1x Kit-bashed Primaris Lieutenant w/ Bolt Pistol + Master-crafted Power Sword
- 1x Magnetized Invictor Tactical Warsuit
- 1x Magnetized Impulsor (Half-Painted)
- 1x Magnetized Venerable Dreadnought (Half-painted)
- 1x Primaris Chaplain on Bike (Half-painted)
- 1x Kit-bashed Primaris Lieutenant w/ Bolt Pistol + Master-crafted Stalker Bolt Rifle
- 1x Kit-bashed Primaris Lieutenant in Reiver Armour

This month saw the painting of one of my favourite HQ units. I created Marshal Reinhardt some more heavy-duty armour for crushing heretics. I even chose to include a helmet/head belonging to one of the Emperor's Children since I'm considering picking up some heretics when the CSM codex drops!

Closing Statement
Thanks for another awesome month. Hope you've all had a good summer holiday. Let's get back to work so we can pay off scalpers in November when the Templars box drops.
Cheers,
Ryan
