Stuff done! picturez!
the barge and the Ark (magnetized!)
and this fella is my version of Obyron
take one part pariah, take the cloak from the barge, and squish together with greenstuffquite a nice basic model imo.
Then i did some more painting, Huzzah! the world eaters are growing, lets lookie at the new members:
And there we go, 6 new and improved Forgeworld fellas on resin bases, very nice, only 14 more to paint, the 4 rhinos need paint too, and i should really spend time assembling those terminators the way i want....
oh and not pictured here, i also have the parts to start working on a Belial for my Dark Angels (hes two parts commander culln, 4 parts Lugft Huron and some deathwing shoulder pads thrown in, and thats before i figure out how to manipulate the 2nd claw i have into a left hand, and start magnetizing the options)
ciao!

doing anything but world eaters atm...
so i got some lovely immortals and an Ark for xmas.... and then i got sammael on his jetbike, then i went and bought a barge and destroyer (to make into a destroyer lord) and now ive just ordered some parts to let me assemble my deathwing (forgeworld shoulder pads and culln+lugft have great parts for Belial!) along with a few ebay purchases here and there.
and my lovely beserkers continue to stare at me from their primer'd eyes....
*sigh* not enough time in the world
in a similar vein ive got 2 metal wraiths, and some wfb stuff i think ill get rid of. it wont help me with this crippling addiction to the GW franchise but it will help liquidate some assessts as a business person would put it.
p.s Necron Barges are a biatch to put together!

finecast aint so bad.....
hello again, long time no post, long time no hobbying really,though i am starting to find time to get back into the beserkers,
anyway i found my pocket bulging with an extra 30 quid, and i thought to myself.... i want one of those
by those, i mean a sammael on jetbike, in finecast. for my huge unfinished collection of dark angels. and voila! the games-store did provide
did the usual open in the gamestore to check for huge errors, and im quite pleased that theres nothing glaring'ly wrong with it.
well the plasma cannon has a bit missing from the top (hidden by the prow) and there are lots of tiny bubbles in rather irritating places, the question is, should i bother filling and filing them? i think the answer is no, because a) im lazy and b) sometimes i put on really thick coats of paint anyway, and as im following the same 4 layer wash technique for black (ah'la vanus temple Linky ) all the little holes will most likely fill themselves up. or at least i hope so.
still for £30 i am a bit disappointed at the quality games workshop is pushing out here. you never have these problems with plastic, so why should they really be pushing this "technology" out the door when im sure i could get better from a box of a million sprues. sure thats the downside of plastic, but honestly, i dont mind. they are doing wonderful stuff with it.
oh and i also got a ghost ark for xmas, so thats on the list of things you might see sooner than you think (i hope your thinking about 2-3 months ;) )

army lists, army lists, army lists.
So i have nearly every codex and wfb armies books.
(just missing tau, as i accidently sold it, but rumours say new book soon, so ima savin my penny's)
and i find each and every one of them, a pain in the arse.
sure theyre great, i can read them and then re-read them again and again. but sometimes, i wish they were a bit more flexible. and none is more so, in the region of current angst, than the Orks
grrrrr
stumbling upon some "cheap" mega-nobz on ebay, and looking through my meagre collection that i still retain after the big sell-off of last year. i thought to myself "hey a mega nob army, that would be great! and i wouldnt have to buy many, or more importantly paint many!
oh dear
so i set about looking at the rules for this and that, and then i wept a little! right there in the HQ section was two things that could of been oh so perfect for a usable (given normal FOC and points range) army list.
the Mad Dok
and the Big Mek.
now they dont give me my lovely mega'nobz as troops, oh no! i need warbosses for that, but what they do, do is provide that extra save that every big heavy armoured elite section unit has these days, namely a second dice roll on the "save me" chart. im talking about cover or feel no pain saves. the Big mek and his lovely big force field bubble would look perfect, if he could also wear that mega-armour too. look its right next to it in the "pick only one of these" coloumn! oh how i weep, surely those techno-brains could come up with meshing the two technologys of preservation together. and mad dok! why does he have to be mad? why does he have to be a HQ choice! normal nobs get painboys, is it that hard to give mega'nobs one too? sure he can also dish out 5++ saves army wide if you have the points, but he needs to be baby-sat, specifically inside a vehicle that he never has to get out of. its suprising actually that they dont just list "rage" underneath his special rules, as it is only quietly mentioned in his "one scalpel short of a medpack" rule.
anyway im waffling about one particular aspect of Orks, what im trying to say is that all of these rule-books are so restrictive in making us choose nice things, that come along with nasty things. I guess its what keeps this game so addicitive, your chess pieces if you will can hop across the board to check the king in one move, and then be taken down by a lowly pawn in the next.
anyway, all this thought on modelling and army lists is starting to get my mojo back, perhaps ill find the time over the holidays to do something and post some nice pictures,
till next time
