Spartan Games

2011-03-23T11:47:00.000-07:00

I got the Carrier on saturday just before David and I went out and cooked for my mom, a late (a Very late) christmas lunch as my nan was let out of hospital and has cancer.

So mom was running back and forth between her home and my nan's place.

So what am I waiting for now?? The GW painting station.

Spartan Games

2011-03-09T07:39:00.000-08:00

Im waiting for Spartan to get more resin in and send my Carrier to Wayland Games so I can started painting my two fleets the Federated States of America and Empire of the Blazing Sun (the flying carrier is the one we are waiting for.)

Dark Elves

2011-01-25T08:30:00.000-08:00

To tell you the truth I have not painted a dark elf in a long time..... a very long long time, but all that will change soon when the storm raven is out in a few weeks I will de doing a unit for a good friend of mine in the USA, whats the betting I will start a Dark Elf army ... I hope not. I might just add to the unit and send him more.

and now a question Captain James T Kirk once asked ... What does god want with a starship??

Nearly done the Assault Squad, its just painting the little bits ie the metal bits, the chainswords and bolt pistols. and the heads ... just waiting for Let the Dice Deside for five heads with comms.

Ok

2010-12-30T06:04:00.000-08:00

Just primed the second half of the Assault squad and yes the grenades were on before I primed, I have one guy with two chain swords, two flame units the unit leader has a power sword and a melta bomb. Also they were washed and highlighted need to get a differant light green as the pot of scorpion green is a bit wishy washy.

Ordered the Badab War Book two on tuesday, wonder if I'm one of the 500 people who get a signed copy... only time will tell.

And happy new year to you all.

This will make you laugh.

2010-12-19T06:19:00.000-08:00

Put together 4 remaining assault marines legs and bodies last night, primed them and forgot to add the grenades before priming. so its time to add the grenades D'oh nuts mmmm donuts.

2010-12-12T21:45:00.000-08:00

Move along.

These are not the droids you are looking for.

Boom shake the room.

It was done at 05:30 hence getting done inside I know there is not enough light for the picts.

04:00

2010-12-12T20:12:00.000-08:00

Cant sleep tonight, that's 4 night in a row.... must be my appointment to get my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday morning ....

Any how I have been working on Brother Master Libby Obi-Wan with the "These are not the droids your looking for ... Move along." With the classic wave of the hand.

The test mini came out darker than planned but I dont care they are my minis shame there is no Scorpion green primer out there (Hint Army Painter).

Got one of the chapterhouse jump packs primed at about 01:30 ish GMT.

My thanks go out to Pappa JJ who is naming a Libby after me.

Test mini

2010-12-11T10:45:00.000-08:00

Well one test mini done, and he looks good, well better than good fantastic, done the other guy and an assault marine primed and basecoted ... (washed that is) as soon as the book 10 is out I'll open up another blog methinks. the heads were primed seperatly white and Menoth white base and then menoth white highlight.

Primer

2010-12-08T12:17:00.000-08:00

Arrived thanks to the whip cracking from Paul Tooey from Wayland Games, so got the marine (Semper Fields Hoora!!) primed and thaka green washed and went to put on the Scorpion green and that did not go on well (boo hiss) so need to get a pot of Snot green (Who the frack comes up with the names of the pant? Must be on drugs if you ask me)

Got an assault squad today they are going to have pre heresy jump packs that i got from Chapterhouse stuidos.

Now to add the metal bits to the resin thats the vanes ... well only need to do 4 packs.

Waiting on

2010-12-04T15:31:00.000-08:00

I ordered some green primer on tuesday afternoon, still no green primer blasted snow up north, why cant the post office add flame throweres to the vans to clear the roads.

Planning on doing some test minis for the Sons of Madusa from the Badab war books, but need to get hands on IA 10 when it pops onto the shelves of GW.

Im using .. or going to use the way GD did located in the Dakka Dakka forums.

Hope all my friends had a good thanks giving on the 25th of November and all in Canada had in October.

Wayland Games.

2010-10-10T06:26:00.000-07:00

It's Richard here again, and its been a while since I last contributed to a newsletter, thank god most of you will have said. Before I jump into the pre orders and new releases info we want to just keep you up to speed of our activities at Wayland HQ. It is 2 years since we opened our site (well, a little more than that) and every day is both a challenge and a surprise. A challenge as we are continuing to grow, and a surprise as we genuinely are touched by the loyalty shown to us by our customers. So I want to personally offer you all a big thank you from everyone here at Wayland.

THE FUTURE
You have probably heard me bleat on about our new website etc about a million times, so I won't go on too much. We have started and thrown away developments almost continuously as our requirements have changed over time. I think we have got it right this time and this will soon become evident.. I hope you will agree with us when we launch at the end of November. The amount of work that has gone into this endless process has been huge. It seemed such a simple undertaking when it started. However we are nearly there and the time now will be spent testing and readying the warehouse for the new site and processes.
DARK ELDAR RETURN

Unless you have been on holiday for a long while or perhaps you have been living in a cave as a hermit, the Dark Eldar and their spikey bits are making a return in November. You can of course pre order them below. There are lots of preview images around which we are unable to link to but trust us they are spikey.

You can pre-order Dark Eldar here

MANTIC GAMES
Considering the first minis only hit the shelves a year ago those boys at Mantic sure have been busy – and we thought now was a very good time to see what they have been up to...
The Zombies

Here at Wayland we get to see all the best toy soldiers that hit the market but it has been a while since we saw anything quite as good as these. These Zombie models are just astounding. I’ll say no more – just have a look...
They come in sensible sized units (30 and 60) and they will fit perfectly into any game or an army from pretty much any supplier, and come with optional 20mm bases for use in the major games system. And as you’d expect from Mantic – they are very reasonably priced. The 60 man set is just 50pence per figure!
To go alongside the Zombie release Mantic have also put out a great value Undead Army set with 110 miniatures for just £ 38.00. The box includes 30 of the fantastic new Zombies, 20 of the Ghouls (which can be cross converted with the Zombies), 2 x 20 figure Skeleton regiments and a 20-strong Armoured Skeleton unit, a very nice Undead army in a box!

Mhorgoths Revenge:
Mantic are also just about to launch their own fantasy battle game – Mhorgoths Revenge. At a stunning £33.80 with rules, dice and 100 minis we think this offers great value. The rules are simple and well laid out, and written by none other than Alessio Cavatore (of 40k and Warhammer fame). If you have ever thought about giving fantasy battle a whirl, this set is a great way to start - and is also just a super way to get 100 Dwarf and Undead models. With rumours of cross-over army lists and the rest of the range being so reasonable the sky is the limit when it comes to huge armies and big battles!

Dwarf Kings War Counsel:
A great Army needs great leaders so here we go with the management team for your Dwarf army, and it’s shipping now for just £10.49. See them here.
Oh, and some other companies have released a bunch of stuff too, but it is all rubbish compared to the Mantic product!*

I am owed beer for putting that in btw.. Thank you Ronnie

MANTIC Journal No 2

Finally Issue two of the Mantic Journal is just about to hit the shelves, and not only does it have a heap of great pages about Mantic, there is also an in-depth feature about Hasslefree Miniatures – another miniature line you can get direct from Wayland. And to celebrate this wonderful little Hobby magazine, that champions and supports the up and coming gaming companies, Wayland will be dropping a free copy into every order for the next couple of weeks!

Did you also know you can buy from Wayland on Ebay?
We have a store!.. I know you know but it is worth a visit. If you are lucky you might catch Adam doing some work.. sorry if I am lucky I meant. Come and visit us at:

Wayland Games Store, 22 Parkside Centre, Potters Way, Temple Farm, Southend-On-Sea, Essex

The store is small but you have acdess to 5000sq foot of miniatures stacked floor to ceiling behind.
Battlefoam.
We have a large restock coming and at long last the 1520xl's will be instock hoepfully by the end of October.

If you have a store local to you, you may want to point them at distribution@waylandgames.co.uk

If a store starts stocking the product because you referred them we will send you a gift.

And Romeo from Battlefoam was over in the UK last week telling us about all his future plans.. so watch this space.

SodaPop Miniatures

2010-08-12T08:32:00.000-07:00

Greetings Fizzheads!

A tremendous week has passed for our humble effort. Soda Pop Miniatures stood up and waved our flag at the US's largest consumer games show for those that are cut from our cloth... be it minis, cards, rpgs, or wearing a pointed wizards hat to a $50 a plate steak restaraunt, Gencon had something for everyone.

Soda Pop Miniatures was proud to make two announcements, which we will roll out to a more broad audience over the next weeks... we are going to be launching a few games... thats right, I said games.

(1) We are proud to announce "Relic Knights: Darkspace Calamity", set for release in 2011, this skirmish game is the reason for collecting and playing with our crazy line of soda pop miniatures. We want to bring anime mayhem to your tabletop, devastating combos, characters that leap through fireballs unscathed, duels that move around the tabletop like a pinball machine, spry and nimble anime vixens, giant robots, pirates, ninjas, aliens, and madness... pure madness. Set in our unique and expanding universe, Relic Knights has been proving to be a remarkable and refreshing system in development. More to come as

(2) We are even more proud to unveil "Super Dungeon Explore". This range of fantasy themed miniatures are the start of a large collection of Chibi/Super Deformed characters for your RPG and tabletop games. They are devilishly cute, we completely sold out of the things before the convention was out, with people clamoring for more! Check out some of the great coverage (and highly unfortunate lighting in my interview) about our product, the demo we were running, and what is in store. http://www.beastsofwar.com/gencon2010/soda-pop-miniatures-meets-bow-pop/

Color photos will soon be available.

As always, we are here to respond to your inquiries, its a busy week as we get things going, and we wanted that you were the first to know.

All the best,

Blood Angel Death Company

2010-08-05T05:04:00.000-07:00

I ordered the box on monday, it arrived today only to find that one of the helmets was missing this was from a sealed box. So I have to spend money to go to Bath GW to get a replacement.

The helmet that was missing was the one that has 3 blood blood drops on the left hand side, it's a shame that they dont have a bits service any more.

deathwatch stats thanks to Luner Hound.

2010-08-03T10:07:00.000-07:00

Deathwatch members are volunteers from Space Marine Chapters that rigidly adhere to the Codex Astartes.
Because teams are made up of battle brothers from several Chapters, it is essential they follow a similar doctrine. On the Eastern
Fringe of the Imperium, the Inquisitorial Fortress at Talasa Prime has recruited, trained, and equipped Kill Teams from the
Ultramarines, Scythes of the Emperor, and Lamenters Chapters for service against the Tyranids.
There are two ways that members of the Deathwatch can be incorporated into normal Warhammer 40,000 armies.
The first is to use an entire team of Deathwatch Space Marines. Up to one Kill Team can be included in any Imperium army
as an HQ choice (an army list entry follows).

For this purpose, an Imperium army will consist of any Space Marine army picked from only Codex Space Marines*, any
Imperial Guard army (including Catachans, Steel Legion, and the like), or any Inquisitorial army (Daemonhunters, Witch
Hunters, or Alien Hunters). As an alternative to fielding entire Kill Teams, you may upgrade one or more members of
any Space Marine army selected from only Codex Space Marines* to members of Deathwatch. Only Independent Characters or
members of Headquarters, Veteran or Tactical Squads can be upgraded, and they must wear the distinctive Deathwatch shoulder pad.
Deathwatch members must be armed with a bolter or a combi-weapon with a bolter component. It costs 5 points to make a model a Deathwatch Veteran (there is no
change to its profile). Each may then select one of the following ammunition types at the cost specified in the squad rules opposite.

• M.40 targeter with auto-sense link and Stalker silenced shells
• Metal storm ammunition
• Inferno bolts
• Kraken bolts

This ammunition may be used only with a bolter or the bolter component of a combiweapon.
As a reward for services provided, when the Deathwatch member returns to regular service with his Chapter, these rare
ammunition types are made available in limited numbers.

*Deathwatch Space Marines are, of course, recruited from all different Chapters, including Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and
the like. However, the discipline and training of such individuals are legendary among their own brethren. Thus, for the purposes of
the article, we’ve covered only “Codex” Deathwatch. Other Chapters with their own Codexes get plenty of extras already!

Captain 60 5 5 4 4 2 5 3 9 3+
Veteran Space Marine 30 4 4 4 4 1 4 2 9 3+
Space Marine 20 4 4 4 4 1 4 1 8 3+
0-1 DEATHWATCH KILL TEAM SQUAD

The Deathwatch Squad consists of one Space
Marine Captain and between 4 and 9
Deathwatch Space Marines. The Captain (or
Librarian) is an Independent Character and
may not leave the squad. If all the members
of his squad are killed, he acts as an
Independent Character as normal.

WEAPONS
Bolter and close combat weapon, frag
grenades, melta-bombs.

OPTIONS
• The Captain may select items from the
Space Marine Armory.

• The Captain can be upgraded to a Librarian
(Codicier) at +40 points. As a Librarian, he
is equipped with a force weapon and
psychic hood. He may use the Psychic
Power Storm of the Emperor’s Wrath. He
may replace this power with an alternative
power at the points cost listed on p. 21 of
Codex: Space Marines. He may select
“Librarian only” items from the Space
Marine Armory.

• Any squad members can be upgraded to
Veterans at +10 points.

• Up to two Space Marines can be armed
with a special weapon from the following
list. The special weapon replaces their
bolter. Heavy bolter with Hellfire ammo and
suspensors at +15 pts; M.40 targeter,
bolter, and ammo at +10 pts; plasma gun
at +6 pts; meltagun at +10 pts; flamer
at +3 pts.

• Any Veteran can be armed with a weapon
from the following list unless he is also
armed with a special weapon. The new
weapon replaces the model’s close combat
weapon: power fist at +25 pts; lightning
claw at +25 pts; pair of lightning claws at
+30 pts (replaces both bolter and close
combat weapon); power weapon
at +15 pts.

• All models not armed with a special/Veteran
weapon may be issued with one of the
following special ammo types: metal storm
ammunition at +5 pts; inferno bolts at +5;
or kraken bolts at +5 pts. Note that the
same ammo must be used throughout
the squad.

SPECIAL RULES
True Grit. All Deathwatch Marines have
True Grit. See the Universal Special
Rules section of the Warhammer
40,000 rulebook.

Transport. A Deathwatch Kill Team may
be mounted in a Rhino at +50 pts. If the
Squad numbers six models or less, then
they may be mounted in a Razorback at
+70 points. A Deathwatch Kill Team may
be mounted in a Drop Pod as described
in Codex: Space Marines.
Deep Strike. The Deathwatch has many
ways of reaching a battlefield by surprise.
Unless a squad is mounted in a Rhino, it
may always start the game in Reserve
and arrive by Deep Strike. Whether the
squad does so by teleporter, termite,
alien technology, or grav-chute is up to
the player.

WEAPON OPTIONS
• Heavy Bolter. The heavy bolter is potentially a very versatile
weapon if equipped with an additional suspensor unit that
provides just enough stability to allow it to be fired on the move.
The effective range is reduced, but the weapon gains the ability to
provide suppressive fire while advancing. Kill Teams often operate
alone, a fact that justifies the use of the increasingly rare
suspensor units.

Range: 18" Strength: 5 AP: 4 Assault 3
• Hellfire Round. The heavy bolter is also capable of firing the
Hellfire round, a ceramic sheath that shatters into thousands of
needle-like shards on contact, penetrates the hide of the target,
and carries mutagenic acid into the enemy’s blood stream. The
acid is so powerful that even the most enormous creature is
vulnerable. A Hellfire round is loaded and fired singly. It always
wounds on a 2+ regardless of the target’s Toughness.
Range: 36" Strength: 5 AP: 4 Blast, Heavy 1

• Bolter with M.40 Targeter. A normal bolter equipped with an M.40
targeter with auto-sense link and Stalker silenced shells acts as a
perfectly satisfactory sniper weapon. In this mode, the bolter is a
Heavy 2 weapon that causes Pinning Tests but is otherwise
identical in terms of range, accuracy, and Strength to a
normal bolter.

• Metal Storm Ammunition. A bolter loaded with metal storm
ammunition may be fired from the hip with remarkable accuracy.
The metal storm shells explode in proximity to the enemy, their
fragmentation casing making pinpoint accuracy unnecessary. The
penetrative and destructive qualities of the round suffer as a
consequence.

Range: 18" Strength: 3 AP: – Assault 2
• Inferno Bolts. A bolter loaded with Inferno rounds can cause far
more horrific wounds than a conventionally loaded bolter. The bolt
is loaded with an oxy-phosphor gel. Reroll any failed rolls to
wound (but not failed vehicle Armor Penetration rolls).
Range: 24" Strength: 4 AP: 5 Rapid Fire

• Kraken Bolts. A bolter loaded with a Kraken penetrator round is
capable of piercing the toughest hide thanks to its adamantine
core and improved propellant.
Range: 30" Strength: 4 AP: 4 Rapid Fire

Blight Shells Mk 2.

2010-03-18T06:22:00.000-07:00

Blight Shells.

Can be used by a Vindicator or a Defiler and anything that has Havoc launchers, any who has been wounded but has not been removed from play must pass a toughness test or they have been infected by the toxins and other nasty things that the followers of Nurgle have placed inside the shells.
Use the stats of the weapon that is being used to deliver the shells. In the shooting players next turn the minis that failed the toughness test turn on their brethren and join the renegades. Wounded but not killed by a vindi or battlecannon shell?

So this will only affect terminators and high T models? I bit dodgy. i would make it an option for Havoc launchers OR, if it is going to be fired by the vindi or battlecannon, make it so it only hits at half normal strength and +2 AP for the cannon (to show that it contains the virus, not explosive) I would say, fluff wise, that the shells contain some sort of virus that sends the victims insane and they attack the their fellows (controlled by the player who fired the shell obviously).
The model does not count towards KP for the chaos player if killed. Maybe have it confer a USR like Rage to show just how mental the virus makes them. Dont bother changing the targets stats as it will get too complicated. Example: The Vindi fires the virus shell at a unit of vanilla marines (half strength so its a S5 AP 4 large blast). Wounds on a 3+. Wounds 5 marines, they all make their armour saves. Those 5 marines fail a Toughness test and are now controlled by the Chaos player and gain the Rage USR (meaning they HAVE to charge the unit they just left in the assault phase). I wouldn't make this a permanent change either. Maybe say the virus wears off after a turn or a successful LD test next turn?

Rune Priest

2010-03-11T12:36:00.000-08:00

Here is the Rune Priest I made from the bits I had left over. I know I need to get better photos, I'll try in the morning.

Nurgle Death Guard

2010-03-11T03:30:00.000-08:00

I have ordered the Nurgle Sorcerer from Wayland Games, (See Links) and still no twin linked Assault Cannons, Paul From Wayland said he would send me one of his, looks like I will have to get the office of fair traiding involved.

Iron Hands

2010-03-04T05:06:00.000-08:00

I got my resin bits from wayland games yesterday, Pete from the company called FW and asked about the resin over spill and they told him to tell me "Deal with it." thats not good relations on FW's part.

All I need now is is for my Assault cannons to arrive (Possably Friday) when Im off to Newton Abbot all day talk about a pain in the backside, well I'll have to do it on Saturday.

Death Guard

2010-02-28T14:55:00.000-08:00

Typhus @ 225 points, From GW

Chaos Sorcerer @ 100 points From Forge World.
Mark of Nurgle @ 20 points (+1 Toughness)
Nurgles Rot @ 15 Points

HQ Total : 350 points.

Each time I make another list for the death guard I hope to have the minis

Death Guard Update

2010-02-28T07:11:00.000-08:00

After thinking for a day I thought about allowing the Havoc Launchers to be included in the use of blight shells.

Death Guard

2010-02-27T03:56:00.000-08:00

I have been thinking about starting a Death Guard army using GW and Forge World parts, and making stats for Blight Shells to be used in a Defiler and Vindicator.

One night when I could not sleep I wrote down some notes on Blight Shells.... (Trust me to leave it in the bedroom)......
Blight Shells:

Can be used by a Vindicator or a Defiler, any who has been wounded but has not been removed from play must pass a toughness test or they have been infected by the toxins and other nasty things that the followers of Nurgle have placed inside the shells.

Use the stats of the weapon that is being used to deliver the shells.

In the shooting players next turn the minis that failed the toughness test turn on thier bretheren and join the renagades.

Let me know what you think of that please.

Battle Missions

2010-02-24T04:27:00.000-08:00

Picked this up today from my hobby center, there was also the deff dred on display as well.

I called GW

2010-02-23T07:20:00.000-08:00

Mail order to find out if they were going to update the razorback kit to 5th edition.

"I dont know if they are, but you could get the crusader upgrade kit." was the respopnce on the other end of my mobile.

If I did get the upgrade kit it will leave me with parts I wont use as im not going to get any Land Raiders since I wont be fielding any Terminators due to the dropsite massacre during the the events in the fantastic book "Fulgrim."

any thoughts from you guys?

Why cant GW do kits...

2010-02-22T07:24:00.000-08:00

That have all the options for the model like the Razorback in the 5th edition marine codex has options for assualt cannons, twin linked plasma guns and a las cannon, for me this urks me off something cronic.

What are your thoughs? Are you urked off like me?

Razorback alpha 1

2010-02-21T05:54:00.000-08:00

Started to put together a Razorback lastnight just before TNA Impact, the tracks need to go on as do the doors but im going to wait untill I get the resin doors from Wayland Games at the moment it looks like the Iron Father will not be happy as it looks like some heretic has pinched the tracks. Not a bad idea for a painting competition.

Just need Assualt Cannons for the turret.

Burn Notice

2010-02-20T09:05:00.000-08:00

Now this is a fracking cool show, first shown in the UK on FX, now on fiver from the 4th of March.

Its about a spy who was on a job when he got burned and ended up in Miami, this show stars Jeffrey Donovan, Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbell and Sharon Gless.

Gm Kit and Space Wolves

2010-02-20T06:00:00.000-08:00

With the arrival of the GM Kit, Im about 60% done with the Blood Claws in there is a Wolf Guard in the squad, just need to get some replacement running legs for my Iron Hands tac 1 squad, and need to get an Assault Cannon in from bits and kits when the stock is in for the Razorback.

I ordered some Iron Hand Icons from Wayland Games yesterday, I know I need to get some photos up of the scouts.

I went for Logan Grimmnar pre great wolf.

RPG 2

2010-02-16T14:31:00.000-08:00

Still waiting on gifts for geeks to prosess the GM kit, tho I payed yesterday and no responce to 2 emails.

Looks like im going to change where I get my mimis.

Any ideas?

RPG's

2010-02-15T07:09:00.000-08:00

These are the books that I have and wil hope to use very soon, the GM kit is on order from Gifts for Geeks. I was introduced to this company from a good friend Ryan. Who has just moved his shop to Bath link soon.

I can Bake

2010-02-14T08:57:00.000-08:00

Just made my first solo cake today, just letting my other half do the valintines day dinner.

Close Combat Iron Hands

2010-02-14T04:28:00.000-08:00

first squad is nearly put together as I need to mould the pad icons and wait for some resin bits to order, and to mould and attach to the pads.

I think the hardest part for me will be is making the bionic parts as I have never done that before.

I did however use some green stuff on a masked marine head and put a lens from the scout sniper box and used that as an eye, well thats a start.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/276993.page here is a link to a fantastic Iron Hands blog.

Went out shopping once more today

2010-02-12T05:29:00.000-08:00

I went into town with the sniffles and headed to to the local pharmacy 3 miles away in Frome to get something for a cold and some bread.

Also went to the Frome model center as well there was a toss up between a land speeder storm or a razorback, I wanted both but could only afford one or the other so ended up with a razorback.

So what needs to be made up now is as follows:

rhino, razorback, 10 man Assault squad, 6 man Combat squad, a scout squad and 2 tactical squads 1 of the squads has the Iron Hands Upgrade kit.

What is made is a 6 man Terminator Squad inc assault cannon, 2 dreds brothers Bill and Ben and a Terminator Libby.

Thats just mine.

Thanks Postie

2010-02-11T07:24:00.000-08:00

Iron hands squad arrived this morning, shame postie cant knock on the door... Davids Space Wolves Scouts are getting on well.

Watced G.I Joe last night good film, I thought the bad guy I recignised it was the time lord from the new 1st season.

2010-02-10T07:41:00.001-08:00

Started in the Metal work on the Wolf Scouts, I'm quite happy with them so far.

Libby colour

2010-02-10T05:06:00.001-08:00

So any idea on the colour of an Iron Hands Libby? I put the guy together through a slow episode # 3 of Caprica last night.

I also called up Mail Order and spoke to the guy I yelled at yesterday and apologised for yelling at him.

I also just primed some Wolf Scouts about to start painting them.

He went all quite.

2010-02-06T09:43:00.000-08:00

but finished Brother Ben and added a heavy flamer to the cc arm as it looked to naked without the weapon.

Went to Bath today

2010-02-05T08:44:00.000-08:00

With my partner, he had a quick intro game, while I ordered Iron Hands squad, tho their order point was down, and got dragged around Bath for 3 hours, when I could of been cleaning up Brother Ben, took the storm bolter off him last night and added the pod launcher to his left shoulder.

Cleaned up the terminators and the squad of marines. Trying to find a drop of break fluid to strip off one left shoulder pad or I might just repaint it.

Also got in the post this morning one of the 2 NCIS soundtracks, the one with Abby's Lab and Ziva's rendition of "Temptation"

In the New WD

2010-02-04T05:51:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the postie

2010-02-03T09:26:00.000-08:00

What was ordered has arrived this morning, when returning home from shopping I soaked the minis in hot water in the bath for 15 minutes to remove the release coating from the plastic moulder.

when they are dry its time to remove the tactical markings, its 17:30 here and its still raining.

Bumped into a friend today and got the ball rollin' for Dark Heresy wwwwwwwwwoooooo hhhhhhoooooooo.

Brother Bill.

2010-02-01T05:53:00.000-08:00

This is Brother Bill, the stolen Drednaught I was going to use for the Pre Heresy DA's I Think he makes a cool Iron Hands derdnaught what do you think? I know I need to get some chapter icons and the like.

Dark Heresy & Rogue Trader

2010-02-01T05:02:00.000-08:00

Two weeks ago I received a copy of Rogue Trader from Project Hydra (For a fiver) not including P&P also edition 5 of the 40k rulebook.

Last week i picked up a copy of Dark Heresy and today I ordered Purge The Unclean the first adventure book.

Since I'm still waiting for a delivery from Gifts for Geeks for my partners Space Wolves and the AOBR box Id thought I would add another blog entry and take a photo of Drednaught #1 Bill.

Second Drednaught

2010-01-31T09:41:00.000-08:00

This bad boy will be from the AOBR box but with a slight conversion he will have a deathwind pod from the drop pod in place of the storm bolter.

Also I have started Thousand sons to go toe to toe with my partners Space Wolves. Sofar I have started a terminator lord who I will name Tyberious who is a Lantant Psyker and survived the Rubric of Ahriman spell.

And a Sorcerer who sofar does not have a name.

Starting Out.

2010-01-31T09:14:00.000-08:00

First I started out with the first unforgiven (Dark Angles) with a Drednaught and a tactical squad, so I removed the DA bits from the drednaught and started pimping it up with 2 smoke launchers.

I have an odd way to get a nice bone colour (Sorry to the guys from the USA im based in the UK) start with Hammerfall Khaki, 'Jack Bone, Menoth White base and Menoth White Highlight. For scrolls and the like just add a wash of Devlan Mud. As soon as I can get sorted out picts will be taken.

My partner wants to start 40k so he has ordered the Space Wolves battlebox from GiftsforGeeks.org.uk and AOBR box.
