More Knights Of Blood

Over the weekend I finished of my first tactical squad of my Knights of Blood Army and also added my Librarian to this army, as I'd forgotten about him and pulling him out of the XIX and dropping him in here was by far the easiest option. So I've gone with one black leg, one red arm and a blue for the rest with a red robe, I also rooted out the Forge World Stormbolter for him that I recovered from the Club bits box. The Captain has had a major rebuild as well, going for the Knightly feel I found this old body with an Empire Knight helmet and added it to a pair of Knight legs I'd used before. The only original parts from the first Captain are the arms which I've just swapped over. I've also added a shield from the Fantasy High Elves range as it had tears on it that I'm going to call blood drops and it fitted with the Knightly feel I'm trying to get going.
Next up is the Tactical Squad. I've added some grey stuff to most of the helmets to give them, again, a more Knightly feel, but other than that theses are mostly basic paint jobs with no conversion work done to them apart from the Sgt, no I tell a lie there there is a couple of converted ork shooters pressed into service as bolters here. With the Sgt. I've gone with a Fantasy repeating musket to give it an archaic feel, and will use it as a Stormbolter in games if the points allow me to. Although I did get majorly distracted by the Canadian GP at some points, come on it was on tv for over 5 hours! But it was one hell of a race when it got going what with Jenson Button coming from the back of the pack to win the race ON THE FINAL LAP!

Print Offs

Okay that isn't mine, as you can tell from the paint job, but it is a Banesword though. I've printed off the Datasheet for the Banesword and the blank datasheet as well, I'll be filling that out on Sunday while the F1 cars go round and round an island in the St. Laurence river. Just one minor problem with that is I don't have the Space Wolf Codex to get the rule for Bjorn The Fell Handed I'd like to add to the P P B, Knowes Fury, to represent the feeling that Gaden and The Iron Warriors towards this massive War machine

The Poxy Proxy Banesword has been named as well, well in actuallity I've kept the old name it had and will in retrospect be renaming the Sgts in the XIX Chapter with the old Border Reivers names that I had used in the first place when they where a Loyalist Chapter. This fits with the nick name of the XIXth being The Reivers.

For those of you that don't know the Border Reivers where a group of families that where pretty much at war with England, Scotland and each other from about when the Romans left to when England and Scotland where united at the death of Queen Elizabeth the First. Although the offical story says the Reiving time only really started about 1200ish, there are stories of raids and attacks on villages and cattle going back to the 400AD all the way up to Unity of the Crowns of England and Scotland and a bit beyond, but the Crown did what it always did with the trouble makers, recuritedthem into the army feed and armed them and then sent them off to for King and Country.

So Thats The Trick

So thats the trick of getting people to read these things, have loads of pics of a hot actress! Well she's my fav.

The New Poxy Proxy Banesword, part2

Sorry for the break there, but I had to shoot off to the dentists to get my teeth checked. Still great!

So the photos uploaded this morning are the latest work in progress on the Poxy Proxy Predators upgrade to a Super Heavy. Top is the turret/super structure with the big gun made from a retractorable pen barrle. 2nd is the sponson weapons, twin linked heavy bolter and las cannons. 3rd is the chassis with the new paint job. Bottom is the actual tank itself with a Guards man to show scale and the twin linked hull mounted assault cannons, unfinished right now. I've gone with assault cannons as I've run out of heavy bolters for now

Finecast part 3

So today I had to do a favour for a friend of mine which involved going up to Preston and picking up her bike and riding it back to Chorley. Lovely day for a bike ride, just wish I'd had some cash on me to stop for a pint on the way home, will be out in the yard this afternoon when I'm done here soaking up some more rays.
Okay an almost side by side view, top is my metal painted Librarian and below is the Finecast. I know that this isn't the best camera to be comparing them with but there and then and looking at my metal version when I got home later I really couldn't see a difference in the molding. Got the usual guff from the guy in the store about how much better it is, but to be honest there's barely a gap big enough to accept even the best credit card between them. The one thing of note was the knee pad looked crisper, but that could be down to an old mold when my metal Librarian was cast, which is something that hasn't been covered anywhere. What are these things going to look like when the molds are old?

So as far as i'm concerned this isn't that great a thing model wise.

Gaden's Enforcers

I've slowed down a touch this week to give myself the chance to do some work on my army. This week I've mostly been working on the Enforcers for Gadens Skittarii as with the army list I'm using the standard troops have a randomly determined leadership and the Enforcers have a leadership of 10. As talked about before these guys I'm building/painting are basically Marine Scouts with bolt pistol, shotgun and a power weapon. Photo to follow.
