 Hi All,

I've had a good first week at Dreadtober and have finished the Reaver Titan:

Many pictures are on my instagram here:

I am really pleased how its turned out with the pre shade working very well on the armour and managing to pull off the stripes with a chipping effect as well.  The base suits and I must admit I like the versatile terrain names it really suits AT models.

I have also progressed my second project the Leviathan Dreadnought its current status is:

You might wander why a space wolf dreadnought is rusty brown well this is the base coat which has been varnish sealed as this will be what you see when the top coats are chipped back to reveal damage and rusting.  Again solid start and looking forward to getting more done.

Keep going folks we need something positive to focus on in these crazy times.

Cheers

Dataslates for Eradicators and Cryptothralls from the New Indomitus 9th Edition Launch Box

Hi All,

Was watching the twitch stream today and they talked through two of new units in the box eradicators and cryptothralls. Omg eradicators look crazy good 24" melta which shoots twice! Alongside this the necron murder buckets look very tasty when near a cryptek!

What are your thoughts on these two new units?

Cheers Doc

I pulled screen grabs for all the sprues from yesterdays feed for me and a friend and then thought they might be useful for the community to be able to look at. In no particular order:

Hope this was useful 

Cheers Doc

Happy New Year 2020 (Hobby Resolutions and Blogging Moving Forward)

Hi All,

Happy New Year! Wow its 2020 that sounds like something from a science fiction movie rather than real life.  Well here we are the year I will turn 40 years young and 30 years since I started in this hobby.  Wowsers I am getting on now I suppose!

Anyway the last twelve months saw a significant drop off in blogging.  We as group seem to have really migrated to quicker social media platforms as a way of sharing our work. However... the blog is not dead and I will post here on occasion and I always keep the log of what minis I have painted in the side bar up to date.  Today 2nd Jan I have added my first completed mini for the year a genestealer cult abberrant.

So whats my aim for the year.... Well broadly similar to the last two years I am aiming to paint 100 models.  Frustratingly I have finished in the 90's in both the last two years so surely I can push it over the line this year!  I also aim to get my genestealer cult to a fully painted state and hopefully attend Battlefield Birmingham doubles again. I also aim to get a usable force of adeptus titanicus ready to go because the game is amazing!

Anyway peace out all have a great year and be kind to each other (well at least once a day!)#

Cheers
