A long way to go and a short time to get there


Hi All,

So the powers that be (we all know him as Wiggy) have informed me that this is month six and therefor the final month of the tale. This calls for one month of arghhhh I have done nothing and should probably go and find a big paintbrush to deal with my green stuff infested plastic. A cunning plan, provided by Professor Fox of Cunning who I think has been at Oxford for a while now. We will call this update one of January, with a view of getting some horsey thingy things and deadish guardsmen done – Don’t have a codex to hand so these might not be how they are listed?

Plaguebearers attached below. Army list contains a unit of seven, so apart from basing this would be my first completed unit. Also Tamiya clear red is an excellent paint to glaze blood (has to have blood colour below first) and mixed with some UHU glue equals stringy, gorey, bloody goodness.

The return of the tale - I get distracted

While I’m sure my rambling posts are just as important, I should really be getting on with work at the moment so will cut to the chase and just post some pictures. Oh, and I’ve even done some painting.

For reference we have 9 Guardsmen, which is the start of my infantry squad - Sergeant with power axe, and one with a flamer.

Everything’s better with an axe


Just a quick update post on what I’ve been getting on with over the last few weeks

It’s amazing what projects you can develop while avoiding a box of plastic toy soldiers. Latest example is picking up some scenery. In short, very enjoyable piece to paint, with the added bonus of using some new techniques from the ‘Eavy Metal book. Any Space Wolf players, it was simple a case of these where the colours I have, that don’t seem to be getting used at the moment. Let’s not start a war over a blow up Rhino - Have a dog biscuit or something.




 Also in case he does not mention. We have a painting champion in our group, with the Mighty Morphing Mr Endsor-Wigg picking up best-painted army at his last tournament visit. Not bad for an old timer…

Fire breathing zebra of doom


I know we have all been in the position where the crazy flaming zebra is on the attack. Explaining this, I’m sure will put into context why there has been such a delay in me making a post. What with finding the sword of ice and the lasso of contempt, never where you think they would be. Now why are you still reading at this point, it must be clear that this paragraph is just some pointless text (I now most of what I write is). Why not just skip down to the pictures. So back to the zebra - Turns out I had a bionic laser eye and just shot him with that.

Similar to Sonic 2 it turns out I have developed a 'two tails'. Although instead of a ginger fox I have gone for my old Necron army. Originally the plan was to take part in a doubles tournament mid November, which meant I had to get on and finish 900pts of the fleshless Arnie's. Below is what I have finished so far and a few of the bits that are not in my list but are mostly finished.






Until the next time I find a packed of biscuits and have a list of things that I should be getting on with, I so good-bye.
