Site News: back Into The Fray With More New Projects

And we are back! The last three weeks have been a bit of annoyance, with both Lorna and I coming down with seasonal flu. It is quite disheartening to see how nice the weather is outside but being  unable to enjoy it, and as a repercussion not much hobby has been done. Now that the flu has passed, we find we have a new enemy and again it is the nice weather! With it being so bright and hot, it has been too much of temptation to go out with the dog as opposed to sweating away at the paint table, but despite this I have somehow found myself able to squeeze in a new 40K project. As has been mentioned in previous posts, I have not found an army that I am comfortable with, both in terms of gaming and painting, there has been a real lack of variety that has caused me to lose steam with projects such as my Nurgle Daemons, Minotaur's Space Marines and Pre-Heresy Dark Angels. Part of the problem I feel is...I have seen it all before, 25 years painting the same products can get start to lose some of its allure.

However I feel I may have found the solution, sometimes a little impulse buying can be the start of something really good and this week I think I may have bought into something with a little longevity. I will share the details next week, as I have guests this afternoon; perhaps via a youtube video; but I am quite excited with the progress I have made so far in the last two days. I do have a 1500pts list written up and all the models are either here or are en route.

Looking forward to sharing more toy soldier news with you all soon.

New Warhammer Forge Releases

Forge World/Warhammer Forge have two new pre-orders up for Warhammer Fantasy. 

First is the lovely Empire Command set shown off at various conventions. This is a three figure set including champion, standard bearer and flagellant. While I would wish for an accompanying unit complete with face guards, I know that will never happen due to the focus on Horus Heresy, but one can dream can't they? The empire Command Set is available for pre-order now and is priced at £30.00 with a shipping date of the 26th July LINK

Second on the release schedule is the Dreadmaw, filling another monstrous unit option for the Monstrous Arcanum book. The Dreadmaw is up for pre-order now and has a shipping date of  the 26th July and is priced at £52.00 LINK

Site News: Pistols, Heresy and Warzone...

Middle of the week progress report on this rather humid evening! Three gaming systems, three separate reports; complete with pictures; for everyone to enjoy. If that's not variety, then I don't know what it. Joking aside there is a lot about to happen in the next few weeks...

Warhammer Fantasy Battle

Yes I know, I was meant to have a game last Sunday, but one problem lay in the way - Father's Day. Both Lorna and myself had forgotten (due to how hectic things are here at the moment), until we had relatives show up...In the long run it was for the best as the Pistoliers; I had ordered the weekend before (from GW direct no less) arrived one day before our intended game; despite frantic building I only managed to get the horses built - It would have been very embarrassing running riderless ponies shooting guns (see below).

Horus Heresy: The Terran's Return

Welcome,

So I had a little photo editing fun over the weekend, advertising my new project. I had pretty much given up on building any new 40K project this year, due to the amount of time invested into Fantasy and of course the massive upcoming Warzone Resurrection release - massive in the sense of I will be getting hundreds of figures in one go - Which I can't wait for, Prodos Games you guys should be very proud of yourselves!

Despite all the fun and games coming this summer, delving through my hobby graveyard turned up some interesting and down right weird pieces I had been working on from around 3-4 years ago. I managed to salvage parts from a  variety of projects; mainly Forge World armour sets; which saves me a lot of money. While I really liked some of the conversions I had worked on (namely the ones on the photo from last week), I see why I stopped working on them: I had tried at that point to add Caliban elements to my design process - robes, and Knightly Order badges, which left me undone as at the time, since there was (and still is as far as I recall) only two primary sources of research - Descent Of Angels and Fallen Angels.
