Pretty happy with it's performance. We played the Chapter Approved mission of 6 objective markers (worth 1 VP at the end of each round) and destroying a unit gave 1 VP. I won 13 to 10. It was quite the slug fest. Nice even match up. I wish I could put the Warlock on a jetbike and take Protect/Jinx on him instead. Archons, Lilith and Wyches/Blood Brides are a pain with the invulnerable saves. I really don't want to reduce the body count on the other units to make the points. The Crimson Hunter wiffed two rounds of shooting the DE flyer...quite sad. I'm starting to debate taking the Autarch in this setup anymore. While he's quite good against a lot of things, he's not been so great at the things I need him to kill (other HQs). I might try reaper Autarch with wings (or foot) int he back lines instead with the sniper warlord trait. Would have been better served this game as he had quite a few characters. Still not totally sold are Hawks. They did pretty well this game, but they were more evenly matched since most of the infantry was T3. Still a very mobile unit for a decent price point.
I've also been busy on some conversions and finishing some of my back logged models.
Very proud of this pose. Hard to take a good picture of it but it looks very fluid and realistic in it's head long charge in person.

Finished all 10 of the Russian Warp Spiders. Gorgeous sculpts. I won't show them all here but here is one:

Finished my two Shining Spears Exarchs. I might add some more flair to them via some ribbon/streamers from the Wraithlord and Wraithguard kits.

And for a bit of heresy here are my Blood Angel's Librarian Dread and Captain! The Captain is kit bashed from Sanguinary Guard (chest/legs), Death Company, Vanguard Vets and Assault marine bits. The Libby Dread is a Forgeworld Chaplain dread I was just going to make a furioso. Popped a force halberd on him and I think it'll look pretty good once It's painted blue. The wings on the front will make it pretty fitting for my Blood Angels.

I have some various other things put together but nothing special. So much so I have completely ran out of room for my Eldar in my display cases. Running to Ikea this weekend to pick up a 3rd display case so each faction (Imperial, Necrons, Eldar) each get their own.
Currently need to chop pony tails off the bare storm guardian heads and attach them to my defender guardians in the mean time. Once that's sorted, and it stops raining every weekend here in New Jersey I can prime some of my simpler models (guardians) and start laying down some paint on them.
