Heroes of Armageddon - It's all coming together!

The Heroes of Armageddon Charity Project is starting to reach "critical mass". It's my favorite part of the whole thing, as visions of armies start to become clear, and models from across the country (or even around the globe) start to trickle in to "Build Team Headquarters" : )

Below you can see the bulk of the armor for the Steel Legion army. There are four Leman Russ variants, and NINE Chimeras : ) It does this old treadhead's heart good to see so much 40K mech in one place!

With the Steel Legion army, I knew that one of the most important factors for creating a great, cohesive force would be to have a solid looking armor base. It's the first thing you'll be dropping on the table, after all. To that end the vehicles were kept with within a fairly tight group of hobbyists, to ensure we could get maximum cohesion. I should also mention, there are still two Hellhounds, a Vendetta, and a couple of BIG surprises to add to the iron fist above.

Let's take a closer look at all the vehicles we have so far. The Leman Russes are from the 23rd Steel Legion Tank Regiment.

Leman Russ Vanquisher (23-1)

- Assembled by Bob Weiss

- Painted by Brien Dulaney, Joe Marshall, and Dave Taylor

Leman Russ Executioner (23-7)

- Assembled by Bob Weiss

- Painted by Brien Dulaney, Joe Marshall, and Dave Taylor

Leman Russ MBT (23-4 & 23-5)

- Assembled by Josh Roberts

- Painted by Brien Dulaney, Joe Marshall, and Dave Taylor

Chimera Armored Transport (01)

- Assembled and painted by Justin McCoy (of Secret Weapon Miniatures)

Justin really went to town on this model. He was the first to tackle the paintjob and really set the tone for all the other work we did on these vehicles. It is only fitting then, that this vehicle has been designated as the ride of Yarrick and his Commissariat Bodyguard. In my mind, this is the Chimera he used during the Second War for Armageddon, pulled out of retirement for a second go around.

The following Chimeras are all transports for the fighting men of the 276th Steel Legion Regiment, 4th Company, 1st & 2nd Platoons.

Chimera Armored Transports (276-4-C through to 276-4-7)

- Assembled by Dave Taylor

- Painted by Brien Dulaney, Joe Marshall, and Dave Taylor

Loads of armor and transports just itching to get to grips with Ghazghkull and his Orke horde!
