Thats right. Weve finally assigned a period of time when I can finally settle the score with my erstwhile opponent Rory, who we can believe is still cackling at midnight while stroking an evil moustache while reading the space marine statline over and over again.
"15pts and a line of 4s? Muhahaha"
Bastard. God I hate space marines.
2000pts. All painted, though unfortunatly not on Rorys new board. While hes been labouring on the 8' by 4' city fight set up, we will decorate the good old reliable card and clothe scene with guardsmen blood.
But oh no. Riks been busy.
Finally, after nearly a year of waiting, I finally got of my arse and began painting what is the nicest, most gorgeous kit ever produced.
Im basing the camo paint off a picture I found of a Russian fighter bomber during WW2. Primarily the fraying of the white paint is supposidly caused by wear and tear. Apparently, most of the time Winter Camoflage was simply white washed in a hurry. Not always the immaculate Branch pattern camoflage of the Waffen SS no no! Still, after a few hundred coats of white I gave up and began slavering on a drizzle of Badab black to simulate grim and such, dragged latterally (sp?). I think it worked out ok, but it still needs touching up. By no means finished, but it will be ready for next Saturdays Rematch!
In other news, Ive been digging out some "new project" stuff that never really took off. Having little or no money does wonders for finishing off stuff, avoiding the lure of the new and the shiny.
??? Some Ork Kannons, making a better use and IG missile Launchers. Why? Because the city fight Imperial Guard Im working on arnt tekno savvy enough to have lascannons, as theyre based off (or will be) a russian/german pioneers brigade. In other words, as much explosives as possible. Leman Russ alternatives, artillary, demolition charges, flamers, and tons of mismatched troops.
Lastly, Ive got these buggers to finish. Good news on the horizon as the next plastic set by Warlord, the Plastic British Infantry, will give my Landsers someone to worry about. CHeap, traditional, and hopefully popular once I get a small skirmish set up. Cant wait to try the rules out.
More soon!
