I have that, yet to start it mind!
I also have a book called The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack, by Mark Hodder on my to read list.

I also have two Books in the Leviathan Series (Leviathan and Behemoth) and the third on its way soon. The Clockwork Century series by Cherie Priest has been amazing (Cowboys, Zombies, Civil War and Airship Pirates). And most recently I have finished the Tales of the Ketty Jay (by Chris Wooding).

I have to say possibly my second favourite book series. Air-pirates, airships, daemons and some very in depth and associable characters. Worth a read

i like a good book series... as once you get acustomed to characters and settings it is always hard to have the book ended... i really read slower towards the end of a book to keep the effect longer^^

I know that feeling entirely. And it is weird, that you feel like member of a crew, that you are there in the story with them. Even odder when it a story about a crew of an airship...

well if you don´t get that feeling from a book i hazard the tought here it sin´t any good to read!

well now i need to get some sleep... and probably you should do the same ... even or rather becasue of the weather and your neighbors^^

nighty night!

My feelings on books exactly!

Night Vik and yeah you're right should sleep soon. :p

sleeping ... well it is over again^^

And my internet is due to terminate in an hour. :(

I hope to be back online as soon as I can, and guess a large update will take place. I will have little else to do but paint xD

d´oh.... it will be like in the eighties again...^^

Right well firstly I have returned. Hectic few weeks!

But I do have a lot of things to post as updates when I can find my camera lol.

Some Empire stuff and a new small side project... 40k based

welcome back old matey^^

too bad i am about to go to bed already...work has put the wind out of me

No worries Vik.

There will be a few WIP of my little side project tomorrow (need to find the camera charger first!) but I hope you will enjoy the parts swapping that has been going on. And one of my personal favourite conversions I have done to date (even if it has made me hate Finecast even more....)

went to bed yesterday early... still no pics

I had issues getting them to the hosting site but later on today!

*watching....waiting*

So it has been awhile that I have needed to do a photo updated. So I have begun a summer project. An ally force for both my Space Marines and Imperial Guard. So impulse purchase lead to the starting of a Space Wolves force. And I have done my best to make them as unique as I could manage.

And just because I decided to play about with my favourite kit, the Empire Wizard one, I decided to construct an Inquisitor/ Primas Psyker. I am quite happy.

Primas Psyker - Missing his book...


And something that I am happy to have managed to collect and been after for awhile, the Heraldry of the Empire book, very inspiring

And something a little interesting...


A number of small paint jobs to come over the next few days. including a few Empire characters and the Space Wolves, plenty of fun to have.

if the puppies werent so overused i might have made a force myself...

good start by the way... a number of still to be drilled barrels tho but the whole looks very good...

and you ninjaed my future idea for psykers

I guessed I am trying to work out if they would be cheaper (and kooler) than Sanctioned Psyker models.

The bolters will all get drilled at some point xD but as models the Space Puppies are so amazing.

oh yeah amazing they are... the kit i´ve heard comes with the most head body ratio ever...which is a dream come true for any converter...

and yes... the wizard set is most versatile for eerie looking models^^

So sometimes I read the "great finds" thread I tend to take it with a pinch of salt.

But today I was walking past a charity shop on my way into the city centre and what did I find in the window? 8 copies of Lord of the Rings Battle Games, a bi-weekly magazine that came with a model (or sprue of them), for a £1 each. Seeing as I got two sets of plastic sprues, war bands (Urk-Hai and Men of Rohan) and 6 metal models. The value of the plastics alone is £30... The metals are probably close to £42... So as one may guess I am a happy wargamer! And my Gondor force has gotten a good boost in the form of Aragon and Gandalf

first puppies...then LOTR? hmmmm.... you definatly got your hads ful^^ and what did you have to pay for that lot?

£8 which was a massive saving hence the impulse buy. Close to a 10th of the value xD

I have a lot of things to work through. I think when I am settled into a bigger places I think I will start taking photos of my entire stock.... That is going to fill my gallery on here.... Seeing as I have a lot of little projects on the go, and maybe a few more to come soon!

i still can recall you wanted to do that stromtrooper shot^^

and yep... i probably would have got me that lot for eight pounds too

Cheap as chips as an overly orange man from England often says

Yeah on my list of things to do, storm troopers that is. And when I get the IG repainted.... I really need to sort out a proper working space soon!

yup... that working space is THE essential thing to establish

So I have preordered Dark Vengeance because the models in it are amazing. I also got my order of Cyber-wolves and out of the 3 one has a miscast.

*Moan about Finecast*





As you can see one melted foot and one component that isn't going to fit because of miscasting.
So photos and a complaint have been sent to GW.

Such is the joys of Finecast.

actually i can´t tell head or tell completly...which shows how bad that stuff is warped....

Exactly. I can deal with flash, clean up and even thin parts. But when it is warped enough that it looks like a ducks foot... I can't do much with it (other than chop it off and rebuild with plastic bits!).

*Le Sigh*

In other news I thought you and the people of Dakka might like to see a chunk of my collection....





Yeah all Power Armoured Space Marines.... And that don't include the Grey Knights! Or the scouts and terminators...

that shows that when one starts with marines it´s like chips... you cant stop with one chapeter^^


nice collection...and still lots of paintwork to do

There is loads of paint work to do. But all the SW are in the process of being basecoated I hopefully by tomorrow an update for them.

And I guess come Next weekend I will have the start of my 4 Space Marine army.... Oh dear Not forgetting that I have two IG armies and a small Sisters of Battle force... Then there are the Britananian Puppets, The Empire and my Mordor Gondor forces.

And all I have at present is time.... Lots of time.

well... and money it seems^^ as that is quite a fortune in plastic crack^^
