July 2012 is set as the release date.

Cant wait.
... until then I'll be rereading Imperial Glory ... again. :)

-Advanced Warning. Praetorian Cavalry / Rough Riders: Standby for 'Cavember'. End Message-

Praetorian Expeditionary Officers and Imperial Allied Commanders of His most gracious Imperial Guard.

November is hereby declared "Cavember".

I will be doing my upmost to have my detachment of Cavalry (courtesy of Col. Gravis) ready for frontline duty.

I know many of your regiments have received your own supply of Gravis's elitist chaps, so i respectfully urge you to do the same.

Victory is imperative.

Sign up here to follow.

If you feel inclined to leave your command bunker and joining the heroic charge yourself, post below so we all can celebrate your conquest.

Prise be the Emperor and Tally Ho!

Col. Ackland

New beginnings; cavalry, an elite trooper and a fortess monastery

This month I moved house. Between that and work the modelling was light. Despite this there was some interesting progress…

Cavalry

How it all started...

Well, this is the start of my Praetorian army (and their enemies) blog.

Really it's about my favourite 40k army and my life and how the two things somehow grown together.

As well as being fanatically involved in WH40k I am trying to finish up my PhD. So I guess my blogging will be sporadic until March 2012 when I get to call myself doctor and have way more time to paint, game and blog.

The pics down the side are in case you get bored reading-they show how a portion of my army looks now.

So to keep thing brief and organised, 3 starting points:

(1) How I got my first model, (2) how the colour scheme came about, and (3) how the Praetorian Army and my life evolved together.
