The Mek Shop

I've completed the build work on the first of my 'Orky terrain' builds - behold, the Mek Shop:

Just need to paint it and it's done.  I'm going to get it undercoated, then paint it, along with the rest of the builds, in one big mad painting dash.

In other news, my builds are coming along nicely - the weekend saw all of this completed:

Terrain time

The build work continues  with four Ork bikers and eight space marine bikers underway, and 5 sternguard, 5 vanguard and 10 Ork Kommandos are in the pipeline.

But now I'm thinking my terrain needs a bit of love.  Allistair, one of my gaming friends, is interested in playing through the 'Raid on Kastoral Novem' campaign with me starting in April, which will require some orky junkyard terrain.  I've been meaning to get some terrain organised for some time now, so this is as good a motivator as any. 

I'll also need to get my build team focused on Orks for the next month.

More assembly underway

Well, the DeffDred is done and I'm now tackling some 'special' marines for my Blood Angels: 

• Two meltagun totin, jump pack wearing assualt marines
• Two flamer totin, jump pack wearing assualt marines
• One power sword totin, jump pack wearin Sanginary Priest
• One Blood champion with jump pack for my honour guard

The assualt marines will let me pad out the special weapons choices on my two current squads.  I need two more squads assembled, and I need two squads of vanguard veterans and one or two squads of sternguard veterans befoee I'll consider the jump troops done.

I've also decided to bump my non-jump pack death company to 16 marines, so that they can fill out a land raider if needed.

It's been an age...

It has been a great many moons since last I put virtual quill to virtual ink to scribe my thoughts for the world to weigh...

So thaty means enough guff!  I'm likley the only one reading this  (if not please do say hello).  So I'm going to use it in a more shorthand manner to keep track of my hobby goings on for myself.

First note - I had game against Alistair last week - the first since July!  Played his Dark Eldar from the new codex vs. my Blood Angels using a mission from the battles book.  I won!

Builds are getting back underway, with this week seeing the completed assmbly of 3 killa kans, 5 sanguinary guard, 5 Deffkoptas (in progress), 4 Ork bikers (in progress) and 1 Deff Dred (in progress).

How am I getting so much done?  Sub-contracting!
