Unboxing my Vengeance! (pic heavy)

I received my copy of Dark Vengeance on Wednesday this week, so Isabeau and I opened it up together and started assembling it! This has however thoroughly distracted me so today's post is late. Oops.

Teh Box of Vengeance. Pretty hefty as well. 

As you can see, Isabeau had the camera phone...Lookit that ugly mug! Only a God of Chaos could love that! Also, I had to put pants on to take this picture. But I'm weird like that. The red things in the pictures are Line of Sight/Measuring sticks, they run out to a distance of 18 inches.

All of the contents of teh Box of Vengeance. Looking through the mini rulebook, there are a lot of changes in how the game works since 2nd edition (go figure, their up to 6th edition now). All told the box contains 48 miniatures. On the Chaos side of things, you have 20 Cultists (divided into close combat and ranged units), 6 Chaos Chosen, 1 Helbrute, and 1 Chaos Lord. The Dark Angels army has 10 Tactical Marines, 5 Deathwing Terminators, 3 Ravenwing Assault Bikes, 1 Librarian Psyker, and 1 Company Master.

Me assembling some of the miniatures. I didn't take any good pictures of the assembly, but these minis are designed to go together without glue, using pegs and slots and whatnot. Most of them go together fairly snugly, but needed to be glued together for strength.

Close up of the assembly.

A Cultist! This one is pretty cool, he has a trenchcoat and a drum fed autogun.

Chaos Assemble! The lighting in the apartment sucks for taking pictures....

All in all, I think it's a pretty good set. You get a lot of bang for your buck compared to how much this stuff would cost individually. The Chaos Marines, Lord, and Helbrute are very very spiky (painfully so) and might be hard to reuse for some chaos armies. The Dark Angels minis are also clearly identified as Dark Angels, so you would need to do some customizing to use for other Chapters.
