Ok, next project is DEFINATELY a HaradArmy for LotR SBG and MAYBE WotR

Of course, after I start on the 2 GMS marines I have set up.

I have a small start on Glomscient's Marine, namely the gun (Based of the Stalker-Pattern Boltgun in Space Marine)
Pics of it later on.

Knightly, should be able to get a start on you marine in the next week or so

**Knightley**

Mint, can't wait

**Matt.Kingsley**

Guess what I got in the mail today

Yep, Knightly's marine arrived

Thank you Knightly, it looks even better in person

And, to add to it, the bitz are being ordered, right now!
Hopefully they can be mailed here as fast as your marine did (although that usually isn't the case

)

Anyway, I decided to give you all pics on glomscient's marine once he has a torso and legs, I mean, there's no point showing you a head, 2 arms and a gun

**Matt.Kingsley**

Sorry guys, I basically have no updates
Why, well several reasons:
-Still waiting on the bitz for knightly's and glomscient's marines
-Running low on Badab black, so no CSM or Orks
-GW new paints have stuffed my necrons because 2 of the key colours (Necron Abyss and Regal Blue) share the same pot in the new paint range (Kantor Blue)

yeah, tonnes of negatives
hoping I find my spare pot or a get the bits, necron-wise I'm still deciding if I'll change the scheme accordingly or if I keep on going and hope I don't run out of paint

the only positive s that I finally got to level 18 in Warhammer 40'000: Space Marine' but that really has nothing to do with this

**Matt.Kingsley**

Picked up a box of Haradrim Raiders the other day and I'm planning to convert half of them into Serpent Riders

Once I've made 1 Serpent Rider and 1 Haradrim Raider (and glued them to their bases) I'll show you all (assuming more people than just knightly are still following me

)

**Shadowbrand**

The Chaos Marines are fantastic, I like the chipped black armor, very Black Legionaire. Alas I am much too timid to try a good crisp suit of black armor on the CSM I have laying around.

And I'd indeed like to see some more Harad. Depressingly few LOTR players.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Thanks for the kind words

Actually, it isn't that hard to paint that black
It's just Adeptus Battlegrey, followed by Badab Black, then paint chips on with codex grey, followed by fortress
don't know what that is in the new paint range, though, but if you want I'll check it out

**Knightley**

Yay, Look forward to more picture updates

**Matt.Kingsley**

Hopefully I'll have pics this afternoon

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok, a lot later than that, but I couldn't get any good photos using my sister's camera.
But, I found my camera and here are pics, plus suprise I got in the mail to day (when I say suprise, I mean suprise as in how quickly it got here

)

Oh, and I also tooks pics of the GMS marine I got from knightley

**Knightley**

Sweet, he looks to have turned up with out incident!

**Matt.Kingsley**

Yep, no damage to that marine of yours/mine at all
Now that I have my RTB01 sprue, I'm itching to get the bits for your and gloscient's marines

**Matt.Kingsley**

I'm going to try and do a little bit more painting and modelling today, just so when bigfish finally sees this blog he wont yell at me for not painting...

**Matt.Kingsley**

well that plan was a failure
but, n a bright note, I got my Fallen Realms sourcebook

been making up some armylists, still haven't come up with a 500pt one I like the feel of yet, though

**Matt.Kingsley**

I have good news! I have the bits! Hopefully I can get to work on them soon!

**Knightley**

Yay, Where's the Pictures?

**prototype_X**

Quite, remember Pics or it didnt happen

**Matt.Kingsley**

Unfortunatly my bad luck has dictated that I need to buy some more thin plastic glue and liquid greenstuff

**Matt.Kingsley**

Got the glue

Hopefully pics this afternoon

**Knightley**

**Matt.Kingsley**

Update!

**Knightley**

Cool, awesome to see progress!

**prototype_X**

Looking sharp mate! Keep it up

**Matt.Kingsley**

Still need to figure out what left armI should give him, if only I had a pointed finger... Hopefully I have a left handed bolt pistol....

**bigfish**

Pictures :O on this blog! joking dude, liking the marine and the new boys

**Matt.Kingsley**

I know, strange, isn't it

With the new update to the ork codex, I'm gonna have to scratch build some planes

Anyway, I think I've found an appropriet left arm, outstretvhed boltpistol.
Unfortunately I can't drill out the barrels, so I'll black-dot them and you can drill them if you want, knightly
Glomscient's won't matter in that regard, he's getting a scratch build stalker bolter

**Matt.Kingsley**

With these new ork planes, I think I'm gonna have to scratch build/convert (or at the very least buy) a few ork flyers

**prototype_X**

I like the new ork one, but the Stormtalon just looks like an over comicised apache.

**Matt.Kingsley**

meh, that's why when I get a crimson fist army with one, I'll convert it.

I've decided blitza-bomma and dakkjet

**Matt.Kingsley**

After all this ork planning, I'v realised that I've been negleting my 2 main projects at the moment, crons and harad (with 2 gms marines)
Still need to get started on Glomscients, and I still need to find where I put the bolt pistol arm. I'm I can't find it then I don't know what I'll do...

so, been working on a Necron list, and still figuring out what to do Harad-wise
