Watch this space....

Just a quick apology that this blog has been untouched for several months. There has been progress with my Astral Claws and this evening I will post up my minis so far.

Keep watching the skies...errr...blog!

Shhhhh!

So my new army and current time sink is an Astral Claws force. I went to my first UK Games Day this year and instantly fell in love with the Lugft Huron model. So deep was my affection for this lifeless hunk of resin that I picked up Imperial Armour 9 and decided that I had to build my new leader an army.

I've been hesitant to show any pics of my army as it's developing as I know that several of the people who read this will be entering the tournament but I've just finished painting my HQ unit and I just had to show it off.

The Librarian in terminator armour is a great metal model which is so detailed that I've been a bit intimidated and have put off painting it for some time. This weekend I decided to give it a shot and 6 hours later here are the results.



It's definitely tabletop quality but I can see an improvement in my painting from this time 12 months ago and I'm very happy with it.



I'll post the rest of my growing marine force as it nears completion.

The Challenge

So we're about to hit November and I'm playing in a doubles tournament in 28 days. I have my 750 points assembled but non of it is painted. I need to paint more than one mini a day to get my army finished in time - it will be a busy November. I'll keep you updated on my progress!

It Lives (Again)!!!

After months lost in the warp this hobo has emerged with even more hobby work to do.

Work and life have been busy and my 40k work was slightly derailed by the release of 8th edition fantasy but I'm still alive and kicking and with my newley renovated man cave I have several armies to build - watch this space :)

Stealer's Kiss!

I love my genestealers and have been worried my scheme wouldn't work well on them. After a very hobby oriented 24 hours I've finished 4 and I'm very happy with them. I'm now half way to a full unit done (and a quarter of the way to finishing my final unit size).

Apologies for the crappy pics. Hopefully get some better ones up once I finish the whole unit.

Hormagants

So here's my scheme on a hormagant.....

They're heeeeeere!

So my first major achievement since rejoining the world of 40k - I've completed my first whole unit. They're not amazingly pretty but they'll look a lot better on the tabletop than bare plastic!
