300 Drax's Whole Army

Hullo! ...On the remains of this fine Leap Year Day, and THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me get to my 300th Post!
As promised, please find below a handful of the 120+ pics I took of my entire army last weekend at The Giant's Lair (my FLGS). It was a blast!

The whole lot:
Rifle company (front and rear):
Hardened veterans:
Armoured Fist platoon, with attached units:


...and some tanks:



More soon. Much, much more.

PS: It's not atually my whole army: I forgot my HQ heavy weapons squads - a heavy bolter squad and a lascannon squad.

  15. Looks great, Drax! I'll also note that the camouflage on that Baneblade is perfect for that table.

  16. Wow - what a stunnign response! Thanks, everyone!

    >Ian: Crumbs - you remember the Self-Build, eh? Well spotted - thanks! He sees the table from time-to-time...

    >Jake: I live in a small cottage - there's a reason I had to go to the club for this!

    >Courtney: No(!)

    >Koloth: Wow! Another reader with a good memory! The Wyvern is at the back; back-left behind the Armoured Fist...but these days it tends to see the table as my converted hydra.

    >Darkwing: Yeah - I noticed that too! In fact, you can barely see it in some of the other pics. Just goes to show, eh?

    PS: For those readers unfamiliar with the above models, do please check out the 'wyvern' and 'hydra' tags on the right. The 'Self-Build' can be found here: http://admiraldrax.blogspot.com/2008/12/074-me-after-fashion.html

    Thanks!

  18. Congrats on the 300th post, and what a sight to see the (nearly) whole 2/24th Guard regiment.

    Awesome work sir, awesome work.

  20. Good stuff as ever: really impressive blog and equally impressive army! One day my motley band might get this big ... keep it up!

  21. That's an impressive force Sir.
    You still refuse to include the mascot don't you? What's it going to take? Do I need to make the base and send it to you for him already?

    Ron, FTW

  22. Thanks, Guys!

    >Col Scipio: I hope so, my friend, I hope so.

    >Ron: You do me an injustice, Sir!
    4th picture; plum centre; 40mm base right behind my objective marker: there he is - on his shiny new base with his old master, OC 2 Platoon.

    ...And Post 299 (qv) was dedicated solely to his new base. But I'm very grateful to you for the nagging over the last couple of years - otherwise it may never have happened!

    - Chris.
