Current WIP's

So yesterday was my first day off in 7 days, with 3 sleeps, with 2 of those back to back. And what did I get up to during this session hobbywise? Not a lot; I touched up my 8th Company Command Squad and a couple of las cannon astartes, I did get some good ebay deals in as well. I now have 9 Dark Eldar Jet Bikes, 4 at mine, 5 more on the way, I won an Eldar Battle Force as well so have a Falcon, Vyper and 3 Eldar Jet Bikes as well as some more Guardians to possibly start a core of an Exodite army or Craftworld army and a nice Farseer model that's missing a hand weapon. Also yesterday, when I got back from the supermarket, I found a letter from the tax man giving me nearly 600 pounds! Plans for that money are; new phone, i picked up an AT-ST on ebay yesterday and Index Astartes vol2, thus completing my collection of all 4 volumes and i bought a new camera and ruck sack.

Just about sums it up.

March and April are a bit of a bad month for me hobby wise as I end up doing shed loads of hours and not being able to get much time in on the hobbies

This was a sample photo of the Terminators that I've finished over the past week, this is the DV box set Terminators along side a Tartarus Pattern. The reason for this photo was that I'd run out of GW's old biege, I mean Bleached Bone and so went out and bought some Ushabti Bone to try that one, when I'd finished both squads they looked to yellow compared to the other Terminators, so I dropped into the local Worthy games and picked up a pot of Screaming Skull and gave them another dry brush with that shade of beige

(Come on guys, the misses pulls out a paint chart and I can't spot the difference between apple white and blueberry white but I can tell you that there's a difference between 2 shadesof GW biege?)

And lastly the first of the Jet bikes for my Corsair Eldar

Need A Bigger Table

My whole collection on my coffee table, I think I'm going to need a bigger coffee table

And these 2 show the Lions Blades 3rd Battle Company, 8th Assault Company, Command structre and the Lions Blades 1st Company with 50 Terminators so far, 45 shooty and 5 with Lightning Claws

This will form the coreof my Chaos force, the old Necrons will be Chaos Androids. The Guard will be Skittarii Legion and won't be to Chaosie as I'll want to use them as allies for both sides

And finally my next project the Corsair Eldar.

Dreads, Tanks, Supers a Flyer, Codex Marines and Dredd

I was asked over the weekend how many Dreadnoughts I've actually got, so on Tuesday I got them out and put them down on the coffee table, along with everything else mechanised, at the back you can just make out the Codex Marines lined up. And as I have a sense of humor here's yet another Dredd

Old Timers

Was planning on getting a couple more of these old timers and making a Deathwing Knight squad. Part of what put me off that was paying for them, they do start to climb in the last few minutes on ebay. So that plan has been knocked on the head, so what I am thinking of doing with these is making the one I've already got painted into the heavy support by modling the 2 las cannons I've got together ...and giving it the missile launcher on the other arm. one of the others I'll throw some knifes onto the fingers and paint it up fopr the 8th Compnay and call it a Furioso dread, might enven see if I can get my hands on a cable drum and a harpoon... Which leaves the 3rd guy, as you can see Terminator arms do fit quite well but I'm not sure if I want to run it as a close combat thing and I'm not sure what company to paint it up for.

Busy busy busy

With being so gosh darn busy with work and stuff i'm finding time to consentrate on the hobby hard, the fact that i'm only just getting round to paint the drop pod I got for christmas should tell you how much I'm over stretched right now. Well that and I didn't really want to start the damn thing and I didn't know how long it would take to paint. First photo shows it with the Aveland sun base coat.

The second photo is how I'm painting this up. The orange spar and the orange and grey doors are the ones that the Ironclad Dreadnought will be coming out off, the orange spar is removable so the dreadnought can get out. The other doors are the opposite colours so I know which one I can take out.

In A White Rabbit Month

This month and next month everyone in the group I'm in at work are using up the holidays we've got left for the year, the new holiday year starts in April for some reason, so i'm really busy at work so haven't had much time to do anything. I always feel like i'm late for something at the moment, so this post is just what I've polished off over the last few free days I've had. This is the old school tech marine again, just showing off the Servo Harness on this guy. I've actually bit the bullet and got some magnets for this as I don't like the idea of transporting in one piece. Still undecided about magnets on my minis to be honest

This photo shows both the Tech Marines I've got, the bottom one is going into the Glorious 1000 as the Forge Father and is armed with a Conversion Beamer. Not sure what the gun was, but I've filed out a place for the arm to go and added a necron gauss array onto the end of it, I've also added a hammer head to his other weapon so I can say it's a Thunder Hammer if I need to.

So here's a night time photo same as above just with the Rifleman Dreadnought added. This guy now has a base from ebay and has taken up it's place with the rest of my dreads.

My dread force, with tech marine support. Front row- tech marine percy, Contemptor Blackadder, bladrick, meltchad and bernard. Back row space crusade dread, metal rifleman, standard box set, aobr dread, aobr dread heavily converted and a venerable dread run out as a furioso dread.
