Reinforcements have arrived

Skaven magic cards, Ikit claw and doom-flayer blisters. Micro-art chariot base to be used with the HPA or "the cock" (gaming grp  joke) warp lightning cannon.

Behind is the Skaven Uniforms and Heraldry book, browse through the book, lots of colours samples to paint skaven. Excellent.

You guys are DEAD!!! once I field this hohoho.

Should I continue painting the yellow helmets or this killing machine, decisions decisions decisions...

Blood Angels wave 2 up for pre-order!!!

Stormraven

BA battleforce

BA dreadnought 

Stormraven: £41 (LOL!!!)

BA battleforce: £60 

BA Dreadnought: £27.7

BA wave 2 up for pre-order on GW website. GW give 16.67% VAT discount for overseas purchases but because they charge shipping  (£10-£29) its still cheaper to buy from discount online store for small to moderate purchases. 

I will wait for the online stores to put up this batch of goodies before ordering. Looking at the prices, I will be only ordering 1 storm raven and 1 BA dreadnought.

Painting update Jan 2011

Had been painting most of my stuffs recently hehe. Here an update.

My painting table. Painting random stuffs here and there. Mostly WIP. Since I can't focus on painting the same model over and over.




You may notice the "battle damage" on the assault marines. Due to some painting disaster, I inflicted some "damage" on them to restored the marines' heads.

My completed plague monk using dipping technique. Quite glossy here mainly due to the dip. Flat coat will be spray onto it to reduce the gloss. This is not my test model. My test model looks "cleaner" (link below). This model is for exploring faster ways to paint skaven.

After spraying with flat coat.

My 1st dark eldar test model. Behind there are 2 more dark eldar test models, which I use different paints to paint, but still the 1st one look better IMO.

An ork test model and orks' "best friend" the death company beside. The death company are extremely detailed and tedious to paint. My plan is to paint some details everyday so I don't burn out from painting them.









Signing off and back to painting :)

BA new plastic furioso sprue

Wood elf massacred! again lol 

There were actually more magic spells/dispels going off, I left most out as I cant remember all of them and most were augment buffs and dispelling Rip spells.

This is the 4th time my WE had been massacred at 8th edition fantasy. Thrice against HE (2:1, Krom:Engrie) and once against "Beardy one's" OK. I had totally given up on WE after this battle and will stop playing them till a new army book for WE is release. 

Now to concentrate on Skaven hehehe or Dark eldar or BA... too many distractions haha

Click below for some actual pictures from the game.

开门放狗 + plastic crack

Received this recently, waiting eagerly for it after reading the 1st part "A thousand sons". Read 20%  and loving it. Dan Abnett rocks! LOL.

The smaller tower from the recent released fantasy terrain range. Cheaper and in ruins, perfect for both 40k and fantasy. Plastic helions, I cannot resist!
