Very cool.. Very heroic.
However when I fight GS, it never ends up that heroic.. How many attacks? crap...!!!!
Major battle scenes.. I knew I should have put my MY assault Marine on top of a Chaos Reaver titan instead of a hellbrute!!!!

'ere we go! 'ere we go! 'ere we go!
Finished my entry. Well, the Mantis Warrior.
I'm away of the weekend, so no work on the Astral Claw... but there is still a hint of his presence on the battlefield (can you spot it? Hint: It's on the base)
I present to you, honoured Veteran Sergeant Lazran:
M.K
(Good Luck to everyone else, liking every entry I've seen so far!  )

I fear i may not get my photos in entered in time. I have to recharge the camera batteries, take the photos and edit and blah blah blah. I realise i still have 2 days left but im gonna be out both days and i'm just not gonna have time. It's my own fault really since i'm such a procrastinator.
If i get up early enough tomorrow then i can probably get it done. We'll see.

 That's impressive.
If anyone is curious what I've been up to, I just finished up one of my beloved Grot Tanks. You can follow the link in my sig to my Bad Moon blog and see it on the last page. It's a very different style of painting than you may be used to seeing from me if all you've known is my MW blog.

Working on that now - but first it needed to be black.
However, my only Greens are Knarloc Green, Hawk Turquoise and Thraka Green Wash... Not a colour I've really used till now.
So, mixing will be needed!
Also have yellows, golds, silvers and white that fit for this project...
Painty Painty.

It'll be ready. But then, I always new the painting would be what let it down! Even my best paint jobs otherwise aren't that great! Anyhoo - update before bed.  More work tomorrow - should get it done in time - my fiancee said after all the work I've put in, I better at least finish it in time, and she will force me to work through the night to complete it. xD As far as I can tell, I have till what... 5PM UK time to get it in? I will - you can see I've put them to good use!
