Because of the way the Combat Patrol series has landed, I've hit a brain lock moment, I want to finish the Björn The Betrayer army first but I had to wait through the Genestealer cult and Guard first, which meant I surpassed my target of 80 minis, I reached 93 and had the guard squad built and ready to go but just couldn't jog my brain to get the squad painted.
So I spent most of the time this week working on 2 Veterans squads, using a mix of Necromunda Oorlocks and guard.
While I was trying to condense some stuff down in the bed room I found my first alternate history minis, my Deamon Prince Calgar, the Cato Sicarrius mini that's lost it's head and probably the Ultramarine from the unused Army on Parade with the Dreads. I do have a Titus mini on sprue which has a helmet and bare head so I'll give Cato the helmet and build Titus with the bare head, plan A is find a couple of the Honour Guard on ebay cheap to make 5 man Veterans squad for the Björn The Betrayer project.
Waiting for some Thunder wolves to arrive for the heads on the Obliteraters, just thinking what I can have them standing on, I do have an idea...
And the {already} revised plan for the Guard army. I had a box on order for the Tank box that I picked up yesterday, I've ordered one on a 3rd party site that's arriving much later this month. I'd hoped to grab a 3rd box yesterday and pootled down to Wigan early to grad a box. I got there about 9.40 and was 4th in the queue, the 2 guys in front of me bought the 2 boxes the store got in. So I was on ebay and managed to grab a 3rd box on my way home, as well as 2 boxes of the Commissar Greaves Centaur, which means plan B is now a go; 3 Squadrons of 2 Hippogriff AFV, 4 Centaurs with 3 Veterans squads and a heavy bolter heavy weapon team lead by Commissar Greaves and her squad, a Dorn Command tank 3 Dorns and an option to run a Leman Russ Squadron
