A month, incl. a weeks holiday, later!
After building another thousand points and starting to sand the bases I managed having 4 games!
The army's record so far:
1 W - 2 D - 1 L
The last game was against a club mates great Black Legion force with 2k lists!
Our game wasn't as bad for my guys as I feared it will be but definitely learned my lesson how brutal a Terminator + Lords + Demons formation can be in CC!
Even a 4+ cover save didn't help!

My personal highlight and formation of the day has been one of the Heavy AA Guns formations who, during the first turn, managed to roll triple sixes against his 3 Hellblades which bullied them into failing all three 4+ saves!
My list has been
Death Korps of Krieg/EUK
Infantry Company
+ 2 Gorgons
Infantry Company
+ 2 Gorgons
3 Heavy AA Gun

The reason there's no news on the painting front yet is my thought of using a painting service to help me finish my first army!
At the moment I would rather spend some spare money then the time to paint up 300 trooper etc and I'd fancy the idea having a finished army not only to give my opponent a visually better experience but also thinking about a tournament sooner then later.
But no worries, a (very) likely second army would then get painted by myself as I am by no means against the idea of painting my own stuff.
I wonder if anybody here got experience with any UK-based painting studio and could give recommendations?
Like to finish with two more wip pictures:
Here are two objective markers in the making!
Poor little AT-AT will be one of the Take 'n Holds. Luke is still missing after he crashed his Snowspeeder.

The chassis and the "gun" are both from the excellent Dark Realm Miniatures range.
Like to ad some turret mounted weapons to the two empty disc at the top front and work on the gap between gun mount and those "stripes" going round it.
Inspiration for it has been a combination of these two images:

The tanks are from one of the Star Wars video games!
I am very happy with the overall feel of it and it sits great next to the walkers.
So far so good!
Looking forward to another 2k game tonight against a Imperial Fists army!
Cheers
