I started the week off with the Treelord Ancient. I will end the week with the Ancient’s baby brother, the Treelord.
Careful! You can poke an eye out with that!

Sylvaneth- Treelord Ancient
It’s time for another Sylvaneth update. Today I present to you the Treelord Ancient. This was the first of three Treelord models that I painted.

Sylvaneth- Dryads
I just finished a night shift and I am waiting for GW West Edmonton to open up. Today is Armies on Parade and I am entering my Sylvaneth. The flock came in a couple of weeks ago and I am proud to say the army is complete. I am really pleased with how everything turned out. According to my wife this has been the best army I have produced so it’s time to see how it fares against the other Armies on Parade.

Codex: Genestealer Cults Review
Good day. Wow, it sure has been a while since I have posted last. My promotion of a few months back bears some responsibility. My work duties have increased and my manager went on vacation so I had to fill his shoes for a couple of weeks. Throw in a bike trip, some Spartan races and feverishly working on my Sylvaneth for Armies on Parade and the door to the roost gets locked.
Did you hear that Games Workshop released a new codex? While I haven’t been working or painting I’ve had my nose stuck in Codex: Genestealer Cults and this book looks like a lot of fun.

40K Blog Showcase 3
I’d like to take the opportunity to showcase some blogs out in their in the universe. These are sites that I frequent on a regular basis. I may not comment much but like a Genestealer Cultist I lurk in the shadows and take everything in. If you haven’t visited any of these sites yet I recommend taking some time to visit.

Sylvaneth- Spirit of Durthu WIP
I am almost finished the Sylvaneth Forest Spirit Warhost set. I’ve started work on the last model, the Spirit of Durthu. I went with the build shown in the stock photo from Games Workshop. Out of the three poses for the Treelords this one is the most difficult to work with. The positioning of the model makes it difficult to get to some areas. That means it will be all the more satisfying when it is complete.

Wargasm
I wanted to to take the time to talk about Wargasm happening in Calgary, Alberta on November 5 and 6. I’m looking forward to this event for two reasons: 1) there is no best general award; and 2) it’s a road trip with some mates. The Saturday will feature a narrative Age of Sigmar event and Sunday will play host to 40K Apocalypse

The Badab War YEG- Andrew’s Star Phantoms WIP
Andrew is the latest to join The Badab War YEG. I was hoping someone would join as the Star Phantoms and Andrew has answered the call. Thanks to Badab the Carcharodons and the Star Phantoms will forever be linked and not for the best of times. If you are unfamiliar with the Badab War I recommend immersing yourself in the story. It is a fantastic read and the reason why I started a Space Marine army.

Sylvaneth- Treelord WIP
I’m rolling along at a good pace with the Sylvaneth models I purchased in the summer. So far I have completed 32 Dryads, a Branchwraith and the Treelord Ancient. The next model on the list is the Treelord. With the Ancient I went with a grey bark. I wanted to change it up visually so I chose to go with brown bark to match half of my Dryads. I plan on purchasing another Treelord and I will paint that one grey.

The Badab War YEG- Dave B.’s Executioners WIP
Dave B.s latest project has been a Dreadnought Chaplain. He has been working at a feverish pace to get 2000 points ready for November. This army will be a fun match-up against the Minotaurs and Carcharodons.

Sylvaneth- Treelord Ancient WIP
It took me a while yo settle on a look for the Dryads. I’m pleased to say the 32 Dryads I have worked on are almost complete. I plan on ordering some grass tufts and flower blossom tufts. The catch is Canada Post is most likely going on strike this week or next. Once I finish basing the Dryads they will remain a mystery. Until then I present my Treelord Ancient.

Tyranids- Hive Fleet Kodiak
I’ve been using a small room to store all my 40K models and supplies. I’ve been slowly moving everything into the loft. My wife had plans for the loft, however, three and a half years later nothing has come to fruition. I’ve expressed interest in using the loft for a man cave, which has been met with a stern no every time.
I’ve changed tactics. I’ve been slowly moving items upstairs. My wife gets used to it and I move some more items up. The writing is on the wall now. The loft will be a man cave. It’s a win-win. My wife is a teacher and wants some office space. My old hobby room will make a great office.
Forgive me, my rambling has a purpose. I have a couple Ikea glass display cases that house my large Tyranid models. I just emptied cases and figured an awkward family photo was in order.

The Badab War YEG- Dave B. Executioners WIP
Dave B. is progressing nicely with his Executioners project. Dave’s next project is a Dreadnought. I’m enjoying his paint scheme of the Executioners. It looks as though he has picked a metallic colour and using a shade or wash. I will confess I haven’t asked him how he has generated his look so I have some homework to do. This will be a great army to go against in a Zone Mortalis game. I apologize for some of the blurry photos.

Sylvaneth- Dryads WIP Pt III
Vacation time is over now. I am sitting in the Vancouver airport waiting for a connecting flight to Edmonton. My wife and I took a red eye flight from Hawaii and I attempted to sleep in positions my body was not designed for. We had a good trip. There is no place lime home though . It will be good to be back. I took a photo of my plane ticket. See if you notice anything special.

Sylvaneth- Dryad WIP Pt II
PI have another Sylvaneth Dryad update. This time I have painted the foliage for some contrast from the brown bark. Now that the pink is on I see that the bark is too dark. I will have to remedy that. I’ll experiment by adding another brown into the mix or going with a heavier stroke with the Sylvaneth Bark and Terminatus Stone.

Sylvaneth- Dryad WIP
I’m fully immersed in the Season of War campaign. It is a great motivator to painting some models. For those of you that are new to the Roost I recently bought an Age of Sigmar Sylvaneth box set. It came with three Treemen, thirty-two Dryads and a Branchwraith. My goal is to paint as many as possible by August 14.

The Badab War YEG- Jerrod’s Cataphractii Terminator WIP
Jerrod has been plugging away bit by bit with his Salamanders in preparation for Badab War YEG. We’ve played a few Marine vs Marine games as he tries various lists. Jerrod is a rare breed for a Marine player. He hasn’t made grav weapons a priority for his army. I present to you the Cataphractii from Betrayal At Calth. These models have some competition for attention. Jerrod has also started a Sylvaneth army and is painting those for the Season of War campaign.

Roost 40K Battle Report 021- 1250 Points Adepta Sororitas vs Astra Militarum
I left my Adepta Sororitas army from my previous game in my transport case. I wanted the Retributors to have the pleasure of hulking-up their heavy flamers and make use of their rending Act of Faith. I arrive at store and my random opponent is Chris, the proud owner of a Death Corps of Krieg army. I’ve seen Chris in store plenty of times but I have never had the pleasure of playing him yet. Chris has a great repuation and did I mention he plays Death Corps? Sweet.

Roost 40K Battle Report 020- 1250 Points Adepta Sororitas vs Tyranids
Thursday night is 40K night down at the local store. I easily settle on Adepta Sororitas. Recently I posted pictures of my Retributors with heavy flamers. I mentioned that I only played one game so I figured it’s time to make it two. Nik stepped up to the plate and played me with the stores Tyranid army. Nik let Mackenzie design the list. Let’s see how the Sisters match-up.

Age of Sigmar- Sylvaneth
Well GW you finally got me. For years I have been able to resist starting a Warhammer Fantasy army. It’s expensive enough collecting rules for one system. Then I have to remember a different set of rules. Then GW has to go ahead a release Beetlejuice for the Sylvaneth. That’s it. Just take my money.
