DIY terrain

Thread I found on Dakka today some good ol' DIY Terrain out of left over spru

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/329231.page

Think I might give some of this a try after I am done with my current builds, I have quite a nice pile of spru right now.

Got my First game in yesterday

Got beat up pretty bad, it was annihilation, and I was more set up for objective game.
My deployment was all wrong, my Tactical mistakes were how I used my Terminators. I needed atleast 1 Landraider to make them work well. I stayed in a rhino too long and ended up getting assaulted. My Whirlwind was good, but against an entire army that has Feel No Pain it did not yield me alot of kills. My shooty Terminators did to pretty well, cut down a good chunk of an assault squad.

I was playing against a Blood Angels player, I think I would have done better against, a horde type army.

For now its back to painting, and play again in 2 weeks.

1st blood.. well prime

Primed my first piece thru the airbrush, hit it with a second round for practice. Think this is going to make life alot easier, It went on so fast, and accurate.

Loot arrived!

My airbrush from TCPglobal came in, and my order from thewarstore.com also arrived. I finished the prep work on my 5 man dev squad. After I practice with my gun I'll be working on them and a scout squad.
Work load is:
Devestators
Scouts
Drop pod
LandRaider
Termiantors
Dread
Tactical squad
Work on reworking old models.

Drop pod

Got the prework on my Drop pod done tonight. Scraped all the mold lines. And set the doors up to be magnetized. Thank god for dremels, really made the job easier.

Everything arrives friday

New airbrush set, and my paint order from thewarstore should be a good weekend.

Though I really want to go see act of valor this weekend also

New Releases for March

Finally we get to see the new Tervigone. It looks pretty badass

Airbrushing

Just pulled the trigger on a Airbrush and Compressor set. I hear it makes things like tanks, and base coating minis alot faster. I have a huge queue of stuff to paint these days so I really hope that I can get the hang of it quickly and make some good progress in playing.

This is the link to the kit that I got,

I know its not amazing but figured it was a good start, and the paints that it comes with will me good to practice with out wasting my good Valleo, or GW paints.

More mini's

Local store was having a nice 35% sale. Got myself a new Tach squad, Dreadnaught and Shooty Terminators . I was looking for some landspeeders and Razorbacks.
Started to assemble my drop pod. Going to try to get an airbrush and compressor tomorrow.

I am really excited I got a Sgt Chronus off ebay really cheap. I also managed to pick up 2 OOP Predators a mk1 and a mk2 they look alittle beat up, but I think they will be ok. I love the look of the older tanks. I'll post some pictures once I get them in the mail.

Dev squad ordered.
So after I get back from this one trip, will need to build and paint
1 dev squad
1 drop pod
2 old predators
1 Land Raider
1 scout squad
1 old Dread (las / missle pod)

Kinda stearing away from a new army.
While I really like aspects of the Grey Knights, and they seem really really awesome I have never played 40k to win. I play for fun.I cant see packing up my Ultramarines for the silver and gold of the Grey Knights. I am going to try my hand at painting up a strike squad but I also going to pick up some Devastators.

Going to try and raise my skill level with magnetizing them for different heavy weapons, should be ~fun~

The Lord Inquisitor Trailer [HD]

This looks so awesome, I hope to the Emperor its real

Here are some pictures I got with at the last "Big Game" I played in.

Been awhile

Thinking about getting a Grey Knights army commissioned, while I build up my Ultramarines.

Going to try to get the wife to play some xenos, and thinking about going to adepticon for some of there workshops.

Work has been taking all my time, so havn't touched a model, since my father passed away.
