Blood Bowl Fever!

It seems the Blood Bowl bug has hit the Code40K crew pretty hard, with everybody getting on board and throwing paint onto teams! 

What's even more cool is that there seems to be a pretty good spread of teams, everybody settling on something different to one another - should be a solid opening season! 

I've always been rather partial to the Dark Elves style of play, but with a distinct lack of Elves from GW currently my mind was running amok with ideas. Having done a large Dark Eldar commission previously and having a friend run Dark Eldar in 40K, I Knew the perfect place to start. 

 

A little math and I worked out I could get a solid starting line up from a box of Wyches, a box of Kabalite Warriors and an AOS Assassin model.

 I mixed and matched the boxs, Wych legs on Warrior bodies and vice versa and managed to come up with 6 Line Men, 2 Runners, 2 Witchs, 4 Blitzersand an Assassin - not bad at all! 

 

I also knocked up a couple of markers from the shock prows of Ravagers. 

 

The colour scheme was easy to settle on, I'd been looking for an excuse (honestly, any excuse would have done!) to play with the FW clear Purple I'd tried on the flier base for the Knight Acheron an these where the perfect chance. 

 

So now I'm currently working my way through painting the team up compete so I'll leave you with a few shots showing my current progress 

 

 

 

I'll be sure to do a full team shot once everything's complete 🤓

Until then, thanks for reading and let me know what you think! 

Thanks

2015 review and 2016 objectives

Overall 2015 was a pretty successful year for me doing hobby related activities.

I have managed to paint at least 1 squad a month and painted a lot of units that had been sat in boxes for quite some time.

My painting challenge (like doc, painting gives me money to spend) didn't really work out. Over the year I painted enough to spend £250, but spent a lot more that that. this is not too bad as I have a monthly budget as well which I stuck to successfully. This is a must for me as if I don't then I can get a massive back log of models to paint.

My current back log to do is:

5 TH/SS terminators

3*3 Centurions

Storm Eagle

Fire Raptor

2 Knights

Sammael on Speeder

2*5 Scouts

Bike squad

3*10 Tactical

2*10 Assault

2*10 Devastator

a few drop pods

There is nothing new on the horizon for my marines at the moment so I don't see this changing soon.

I have started one of the knights so hopefully i intend to show this off soon.

Unfortunately all my painting equipment has been moved over to my new house. My new house however has no water, heating, kitchen and needs decorating! we don't expect to have moved in and set everything up until the end of January. That means no hobby related things happening until at least February.

May this will give me time to post more of my thoughts about 40k and the hobby on hear during that time or get some better pictures of my brothers models.

Happy New Year to you all
