Talked to a guy at work, it seems that his group of friends plays Heroscape, but were looking at switching to a new game. I took the initiative, and mentioned 40k, and it seemed that they had already been considering it. I mentioned that I played, and that he should get into the game. While I was at it, I offered some of my extra models to help some of his less monetarily fortunate friend get into the game. It seems he was already looking at Tyranids, and I just happen to have a set that I don't really want anymore...

We'll see, there might be a new group of people that get into the game...

What I've been doing

Haven't posted in forever, but I have been busy, sorta. Things have been going well from the gaming side of things, lately for me. The first is that I got taxes back, and actually ended up with some spending cash, for once. This, combined with the congealing rumors of a new Grey Knight codex has me now looking down the barrel of some 1500-2000 points of semi-new models to paint up. No pictures yet, but I do have a list!

HQ:

Total Points: 1501

I still need to pick up a GK Termy Psycannon arm sprue, which'll get me 5 or so of the six arms I need for the termies. I'm also going to have fun trying to build the thunder hammers and storm shields; I've hopefully won an Ebay for a set of the old GK Terminator arms that should work well.

Pics when I finish something!

Large scale shots

Ok, I took some pictures of my Sisters the other day, and I thought I'd upload them here. This isn't all of them, as it's missing two Chimera's and a number of basic Sisters. Most of them aren't painted, though, so... yeah. Most of what I HAVE painted is here, though.


Here's a better shot at the Rhino's and that Imagifer in the back. I like her, as I always imagine she is playing capture the flag or something...
And this last one is a better focus on some of the more painted models. I need to work on my photography skills. I like using the gloss hardcoat, and that doesn't really work well with flash...

Assassin Part 2


You know, I should have linked a picture of what my assassin was actually a model of. It's a Sister Compassion model from Dark Ages Games. I have no real idea about the game, but I found her and few others from the game in a bits box at my local game store. They were like a dollar each, so I picked up a few. Here's a picture of her in more 'natural' colors.

Mines a little darker, obviously. But it was a simple job. I just clipped the hair from her hand, pulled it away, then made a sword-arm band thing. I guess the sword 'phases in' when she activates it?

Assassin



Over on Santa Cruz Warhammer, the question has come up about using non-Games Workshop models in Warhammer games. I've got a Callidus Assassin that I've been working on, based off a model from one of the Sisters from the Dark Ages game. Here's some pictures.

The arm is a green stuff combination with one of those little pink plastic sword toothpicks. The other end of the toothpick is on one of my Grey Knights. I'll post him later.

A new thing

Well, now I have a blog. Again. Perhaps I shall add more to this, later.
