Sometimes life gets in the way

The last 2 weeks have gone post free and I apologise for that, but a few things have come up that prevented me from putting the work in needed to have a half decent post. So instead of having a half baked post I decided to just work on an old battle report in the few spare minuets I could get. That will be posted Friday.

Not that I have been idle, as well as typing when I can I have had a friend create a new banner for my blog which some of you might have noticed, and the colours of a few things have changed around. As the blog was originally about fantasy Orcs and Goblins, it was green to reflect that. But lets be honest, as soon as I started to do more 40k stuff the blog has been visited a lot more. And my Eldar have taken over a bit, so I have changed the sight to reflect that. I feel its more fitting at this point.

Thats not all, I started to paint a little bit of my Malifaux, and here is the tester model for a punk zombie. My aim was to try and get a more putrid looking skin, which didn't turn out great, but its ok. I am going to test it out again slightly different on another model and make my decision.

Another little surprise that happened while I was away. I received a few old imperial guard models free of cost, about 20 catachans, 2 leman russ battle tanks and 4 sentinels. All of the model have been terribly put together and in need of taking apart and re-building. While I won't be using the sentinels (and have ignored them) the catachans will be useful for making mutants, and I have rebuilt and sprayed the tanks for use with my force.

Anyway that will be it for now, hopefully I will be able to get back to normal but one of the reasons I had to stop was my girlfriend suffered a family bereavement so I have been supporting her as much as possible, with the funeral soon I might have to stop again to make sure she's ok. But soon I will be back to normal.
