Horus Heresy: Night Lords By DiStudios Lightning Stike Fighter W.i.p

Greetings all, here is last weeks overdue army update. As regular readers will be aware, I have been waiting on various bits and bobs this month (all of which were delayed) in order to proceed with finishing certain builds. Most of this items have arrived now; including Sevatar; but a few key items are missing for the Glaive, which sadly means delays on that progress. On the plus side, I finally put paint to the Lightning Strike Fighter and after some major issues (read on) it seems the model is on the road to completion.

Forge World: Solar Auxilia Stormhammer Super-Heavy Assault Tank Pre-Orders!

Forge World pre-orders are now up for the awesome looking Stormhammer! If ever there was a temptation for me to get a Solar Auxilia force, this would be it. I have to admit, Forge World are doing a great job at bringing out the inner tread head in me...

The Stormhammer is priced at £150.00, with a despatch date of 27th February, for more details, click the LINK!

Thanks for reading,

Horus Heresy: Night Lords By DiStudios - Konrad Curze!

The project has been massively stalled this week by a few annoying factors. Despite ordering Sevatar on day of release (within 30 minutes of the pre-order appearing), I am still with out a Prince Of Crows miniature. To make matters worse, it seems certain products I ordered to help complete the detailing on my Glaive and third Terror Squad, may not actually be available. To make matters worse, because the orders were combined with important things such as primer, airbrush cleaner and paints, this has resulted in a stall on the painting side of my Night Lords project. With very little left to this weekend, I decided it was time to tackle the Night Haunter himself.

This is a incredibly detailed miniature; which is great, as he is not cheap; but at the same time I was very surprised how easily he went together. There were some casting issues on the left leg but nothing that can't be fixed with a little liquid greenstuff. Although my intention was to make a start on the build, as you can see from the picture above; I managed to finish him in one sitting. All I need now if my primer and I am ready to go! The head and shoulder pads (pinned to cloak) are not glued for ease of painting.

With the fundamentals of my force taking shape and nearing completion, my thoughts are now projected at how to evolve the army. Despite my love of Drop Pods, I am moving towards more of an infantry foot slog force, which I am notorious for running anyways.

Hot off the heels of the the Horus Heresy Weekender, Forge World have released pre-orders for the the very popular Alexis Polux. This figure was available in limited quantities during last weeks event (50 products) and sold out within an hour.

I really like this figure and am finding it very difficult to stay the path of the Night lords! Alexis Polux is available to pre-order now, with a despatch date of Friday the 20th of February, priced £31.00. To order, visit the Forge World site HERE.

Site News: New Social Media Options

Hi everyone, so this week I will be heading out to work, which sadly means the blog will be a little light on the hobby updates. This should not affect release news, but you never know. However I do have some very nice hobby bits arriving at work this week and so I have decided to take time and inform regular and potential readers of the various methods of keeping track of what I am up to.

Twitter

I have finally gotten the hang of Twitter. There is now a widget on the right hand side which shows my latest thoughts/wips/purchases. While it in no shape replaces the blog, it is a great way to keep track of updates that might normally take weeks or to see new wargaming bits I come across (this will be very useful during convention season!). Since using Twitter, I have already posted various wip shots of things like the Dreadclaw Assault Pod and the Legion Glaive which are not on the blog yet so to follow me on Twitter - Christopher Gomez@SendTheEighth or visit the Twitter page directly:

Facebook

For those who don't have/don't like Twitter, I also have a Facebook page. My Tweets and blog posts automatically sync with the Facebook Page, so it is a very easy way of accessing the site and my various hobby updates while on the move or catching up with people on Facebook. Please check out and like my Facebook Page:

I am very appreciative of all the people who check out this little blog and should you be interested in what I am getting up to this week (hobby wise) I would suggest signing up, liking and following via these methods. This week should prove to be quite interesting as I do have some new models arriving at work, along with some other bits...
