40K Campaign – The Siege of Falx

It’s been a couple of years since I finished painting my Planetary Empires set, and it’s still one of my proudest completed painting projects.

I still enjoy putting the set together in different combinations and often think how cool it would be to use the set in a campaign.

Dark Angels

Last year I set myself the task of getting the Dark Angels from the Dark Vengeance boxset painted.

Since pretty much everything standard Space Marine kit comes with only Ultramarine transfers, that only left me with one option. Omega.
