Good Lord, almost a week.

I've been pretty absorbed by painting this guy recently. Apologies for the lack of updates, all my free time has been doing this or assignments. I finish uni next week, for some exams anyway.

Prism WIPs

Here are some pics I have from a while ago of the Fire Prisms I was working on.

I was in the stage of doing the re-freehand and re-highlighting the prisms.

Should give you an idea of what to see in the coming days ;)

Hobby Update

Soo, I'm slightly behind hobby schedule.

That said, Pretty much finished the first squad of dragons, adding the final touches to the exarch, all that remains is the gun. The wave serpents are prepped and ready to be started. I'll get some good sunlight tomorrow in the ye olde lightbox and snap a few good pictures.

Oh noes, tragedy!

On Wednesday I sliced up my index finger pretty bad. Thankfully it was on my non paint brushing hand.

As luck would have it, I had just put a new blade in my knife thus making it much sharper than usual, and cleaner.

So I haven't been able to do any hobby, but hopefully it won't stop my plans for weekend hobby!

So, remember kids, knives are sharp!

Lords update!

I got the stuff I need to finish up for lords stripped and ready to be filed, based, primed and painted.

Currently the list is 2 warlocks on bike, 7 fire dragons and 2 wave serpents. Expect plenty of pictures this weekend, as I am free of uni work for atleast the weekend.

I'll break out the old cardboard box with some white paper and sort out some nice pictures.

I have a couple of old WS FW turrets, and one of them fits what kind of kitup I need - dual shuriken cannons. Unfortunately one of them has been poorly cast so there is alot of work required over this weekend - and since they are assembled with mold lines, I also have to do some careful filing. I've been waiting for the weather to not be so piss cold, and have some free time so I can file the resin outdoors.

I've also got plenty of salvaging work to do, since the other wave serpent turret has weapons glued on, so there will be some fixing to do :)

I'm planning on using some plasticard rod, just because I don't particulary want to be fiddling with magnets on 10 different weapons.

For the record it looks like it needs to be 2mm rod.

Stay tuned!

Harlequins

So, I've acquired 8 Harlies + Shadowseer + Troupe Leader. I've been considering running them with or in lieu of Banshees. With a Doom Seer following them around, the Rending could be more beneficial, considering they are WS5 vs the Shees WS4.

They also have an invulnerable and 3 attacks, 4 on the Charge with Furious Assault. The 5++ with Fortune in the Assault would work a treat against Power weapons, though the 4+ of Shees is a big trade off, if they both have fortune.

Furthermore, Harlies are I6 - the same as some super SCs.

Its a tough call.

I think I'll take both.

Games night 29/4

Blugh, sorry for the lack of posts, been insanely busy with Uni.

Anyway, on Thursday I headed into the Sydney Battlebunker as usual. Did a bit of hobby, got smashed by a Dark Eldar list designed to beat a really hard list, it was pretty fun, but crikey the amount of dark matter shots - holy shit. It was my first time against Dark Eldar - but by George, it won't be my last. It was still alot of fun to play against.

That said, it was really eye opening and broadened my knowledge of how to counteract a similar army in the future.

In other news, I've started stripping alot of my minis to repaint them. The list is pretty long, and I can see it lasting me well into next year. So far the list is

10 Harlequins + Shadowseer + Troupe Master
10 Banshees + Exarch
40 Dire Avengers + 4 Exarchs
12 Fire Dragons + 2 Exarchs (Half of which are the ones I'm currently working on.)
5 Wave Serpents (All the turrets need alot of work :( )
5 Wraithguard

Yeah. Could be a while. I'll get some pictures of the other stuff I've done up over the weekend.

Stay tuned.
