Infantry Command Squad W.I.P

Well i have already started on making up a few of the models i need and decided to start with the platoon command. With this i wanted the commander to look a little bit different to the sergeants so have attempted to do something i have never done before, work with proper green stuff. As i haven't done this before i have only attempted something simple, but i quite like it so far.

Painting challenge: March/April 2014

With the Beginning of April it means the March Painting challenge is over, and its time to have a look at what i got done. I had a big list of things to do and i'm rather surprised at how much i got done. If you look at some of my older posts such as the 3 day painting challenge, you will see that i am a terribly slow painter. But anyway on to the models.

Eldar vs Imperial Fists and Blood Angels 2000: Angels Combinded

A combined force of Imperial fists and Blood angels attack the Eldar, intent on purging the alien from the planet, and nothing else with suffice.

Who will stand once all the dust settles, click to find out.

Void shield Generator Box - Promethium relay pipes?

Back of the box

Yesterday a friend of mine showed me the box of his void shield generator (lucky git!) and on the back we noticed a model attached to the shield generator, what was obviously the promethium pipe relay. Now if you look at the void shield model it even has circular slots in the side of it ready for the pipes to go into it. Now that's a bit for foresight for games workshop, something they don't normally do unless they plan to release the model later on, which quite clearly exists, as its certainly not a conversion. 

Now the thing with that theory is that if you do release the pipes later on, what would be the point as only 1000 people could theoretically use them? Working under the assumption that they are getting released and games workshop aren't stupid (big assumption there) does that mean we will get another model later down the line for the void shield generator? other wise what was the point of producing the pipe model as less than 1000 people will buy it? 

What do you guys think?

Testing out Kill Team

It has been out for quite a while from digital downloads but I thought I would get it and see what all the fuss was about. For those of you who don’t know, kill Team is a small skirmish type variant of 40k, with both players using a force of 200 points where every model works on its own.

Eldar vs Space Marines + Grek Knights 2000: Blade Wave

Something a little different on the space marine front this week, the eldar play against the Red Hunters (a Forge world chapter) with some rather interesting rules. The game is Big guns never tire with 3 objectives, with dawn of war deployment. Who will win this 2k game? Cast your votes now...

Painting challange: March 2014

With the Imperial Guard codex rapidly approaching I thought it was about time that I got my ass into gear and started painting my traitor guard. I regret saying ages ago that I wouldn’t play with them until they are painted, but that's what I have to stick too now. Here are my aims for this month.
