Woo hoooooo 500 pts finished!

Well guys I must admit that it's been a real struggle to find the enthusiasm for this project, however, now I have put the finishing touches to my Valhallan 342nd Regt. 10th co. 1st Veteran platoon I am back on the money.














My other addition is my Hellhound, this nice little piece can lay waste to swathes of horde armies on it's own!








Oh okay, who am I kidding right, they're Guard for Emporers sake, the butt of all jokes to do with getting arses kicked!











I want to change that, if I can...the last few games have seen mixed results, some of the bad ones will go down to a steep learning curve while some of the others are just down to the scariness of the opposing army and it being on me in 1 turn.......poor Guardsmen!



Still...next month sees my HQ choice with 4 Plasma Guns and a Tiger variant of the Leman Russ. Now this should kick butt!!







I hope!! ;-)

My 500 - Done!

Here they are, my 500. The rhino and the three sisters standing in front of it are totally new this month, the others are part of my old army and have been touched up to go with the others (stop sniggering at the back Waple!).

And after my charging rhinos did the business against the Howling Griffons yesterday (mainly due to great dice) that's my month done.

Onto next month then. Now where did I put those exorcists.....

500point Ready!

Ha! Done

These two little babies, along with two full squads of marines and some upgrades takes my points score nicely to 500pts painted!

Huzzah! Feet up for the rest of the month………only three days left? Glad I’m not doing guard. Teehee

My workbench!

As we are posting workbench pics this is my current one. Yes it is very "minimalist" but there is a very good reason for it. As I have a very inquisitive 3 year old I can't leave anything lying around anymore so I had to develop a completely portable painting box and this is the result. The only thing it does not have is spray varnish and paints as that is done outside anyway.

It does have the advantage that I can chuck it in the car boot and do a bit of cleaning up figures in between giving lessons.

Damned attention span, or lack thereof....

Well, I was hoping that I'd be posting my next completed 250 points and my completed pirate crew with this post, but alas it was not to be. "Why not?" I hear you ask "didn't you have today off, you slacker?", well, yes, yes I did. I did really well in the morning, highlighting the pirate crew and getting really close to finishing the sisters, but then the curse of the wargamer struck. I had a "Great Idea For A New Project Before I'd Finished The Last One".

Now when a GIFANPBIFTLO strikes there's really very little you can do. Especially if it's one of those ones that means you use some bits that have been lying around for years because when you bought them you thought "Wow, these things'll be great!!!!" and then more GIFANPBIFTLOs struck after you'd bought them meaning you never actually used them. Well, this was one of those times. I'd had some moulded plasticard sitting around in the garage for years, fully intending to use them at some point and then never doing so. And when I bought the heater for the garage, it came with some squarish polysterene bits (and we all know the only proper response to polystyrene packaging is "Wow, I'll keep these as they'll be really handy one day!").

And so, it struck - I decided to combine the two and make some buildings for use with pirates! Having built the cowboy buildings as shells which were hollow inside, I decided that sticking the moulded plasticard to the buildings would be a great way to speed up the process! So please see attached pictures of the buildings in progress. Just need to wait for them to dry and stick on the AW windows and doors, get some roofs on and then a quick lick of paint and they'll hopefully be ready for next weekend! I've also adde one showing the polystyrene block that I hadn't started when I took the photos. It's now being converted into a grand house though, so hopefully I can get all 4 made in time as well as finishing the pirate crew....

30 days hath November...
