An suddenly was he waylaid. With figures.

So while it continues to snow outside and our flat is currently occupied by my girlfriends costume projects, I am left to reflect on the current situation.

Recently I did a massive repair and upgrade job on my Mech infantry, taking them from mechanised infantry platoons to plasma and melta heavy veteren squads. I even went as far as to convert two extra Chimera into Chimadons, counting as Leman Russ.

Working up the points tally, I realised to my delight, that if I included the lamented Baneblade, I could hit 4000pts for the force with only an Eviserator wielding priest! This priest, like the rest of the army, would have to be slightly Mechanicus themed however.

After that?

Well, here comes the issues. This is what my paint/assembly line looks like:

Repairing the 50 man sapper platoon for my next guard list, the infantry company. Because the parts are now inordinately expensive, making more would be commiting economic suicide. So a platoon is all I will get out of this heavily converted "poor mans" Kreig. Retouch a few figures, assemble and paint the converted "missle launcher" cannons and add squad and platoon markings.
Sorted.

Next?

Well whilst on holiday, I managed to acquire a horde of sister of battle. Unsatisfied with the norm, I wanted to make them a bit more of a painting project. Thinking steampunk at the moment, all browns and bronzes hinted by maybe green. Very unusual. Currently Im gathering possible conversion bits while planning the first 500pts.
Easy does it. I have after all nearly 2000pts here, maybe more, including over a hundred troops.

Sheesh.

Other plans?

• How about 3 leman russ battle tanks (one already assembled)
• King Tiger conversion (half built)
• 30 Rough rider conversions to start,
• Cheap Whippet 1/35 into Malcador varients project,

Whippet/Malcador project idea
Check it out!

• British troops for the amazing Rules of Engagement system for the cabinet at Outlant,
• A necromunda gang,
• An Assasins creed Mordheim warband,
• The first of many rifle platoons using the Westwind british rebreather head and stuff,
• A battlefleet gothic set (two fleets)

Needless to say this is what I can remember. But starting next week the great crusade will begin.

Pics soon.
