The Warhounds looking good, looking forward to seeing the painting started.

Nice work so far,the titan looks great and abaddon is rocking.

I'm suprised you're getting so much done on your other projects! If I had two titans sitting around, I wouldn't be working on anything else!

The Titans are hard to transport to and from work so it gives me some time to work on the rest

So here's today's update! Got some paint on the hound before I started having troubles with my airbrush







My bro was over while I was painting and got some work done on a new squad of Stormboyz





hopefully I get more time tomorrow and I get my airbrush sorted

Well after a day long soak with simple green in the paint bowl the innards of my air brush seem to be in order again.

which means I may actually get some painting done before I go back to work or tuesday

Hey all,

Just a few quick updates before I go away to work for 2 weeks

Not really much to write home about but I got a little bit of paint started on the warhound



Also I'm going to be bringing some of my noise marines to work with me! My goal is to finnish this squad byt the time I get back GL me !



It's sad how easy it is to pick out the 3 that were base coated by hand instead of airbrush

Hopefully I will be able to upload some updates while at work !

I have been pushing my brother to finish painting his Stomppa so that we can play an APOC game as soon as I'm done my Warhound

I was actually really suprised at how the Warhounds dwarfs a Stomppa!

Quick update... web cam pic >.< Hopefully this ne doesn;t get removed for sucking like the last one! I need a cheap camera to bring with me!

Right my friend, you will never blog alone. As you have stumbled across my Pre-heresy Iron hands, I have a policy of always checking out others threads.

I think we must have be seperated at birth, being a Mariner I am always away and it annoys the hell out of me. I have spare time at sea but no mini's, or no glue, or something missing or it's blowing a Bast*rd so I couldn't make a model if I tried.. It's annoying and I share your frustrations. I wish I lived in Canada, partly because I went on Honeymoon there and partly (and secretly well from the wife anyway) so I can get my hands on the Miracle that is Simple green. Oh and I am totally jealous of what I am guessing is your gaming basement. Oh and finally Kudo's on the 1st Blog on Dakka to featuring a Warhound. I will be following your blog with interest and sense of mutual support.. lol

Thanks! I appreciate a little company in here now and then! We have quite the crowd of lurkers here on dakka!

Frustrating to be away for sure! But I guess if I didn't work I couldn't afford to game!
You would actually be suprised at how hard it is to get a hold of simple green here aswell! It took me week to find it in a container bigger than 1l ... I wish it wasn't so difficult to mail it across the ocean!

If you weren't at/across the ocean I'd say come over for a game sometime! One of the advantages of living as a bachelor is that I have nobody to tell me how much room my gaming business can occupy

The first blog to feature a Warhound? Really? That kinda blows me away! I figured for sure there were a few out there already. I can;t wait to get home in 3 days so I can put a brush on it again!

I will also be following you blog Especially when I am at work!

Looks like I might fail at updating until the end of the month here! I forgot to grab all of my pictures off of my camera before I left >.<

I'll postup some battle pics tonight but sadly no warhound updates >.<

Oh no, I was looking forward to the Warhound update... It will come soon no doubt.

Waiting on battle pics

I managed to get 1/2 of my pictures uploaded last night

Here are the first group of pictures I have from the 4 way 2000pt battle that took almost 7 hours to finish!

Tyranids(me) VS Orks VS Necrons VS Sisters of Battle.

Deployment



Start of round two, notice how many Tyranids are missing? I got trucked in round one by all 3 opponents and never recovered >.<



And the fun starts at the other end of the table



And back to the piles of fun at the other end of the table I must have pissed everyone off because I was getting hit from all sides



Bombs away!!!



Enter Trygon And goodbye warriors >.@



Notice th lack of second monolith?? Good old zoanthropes!
Also notice the lack of trygon? Damn melta missles from across the table >.<



More to come once I get pics uploaded! damn satelite internet!

At the other end of the table Sisters with flamers make short work of the truck mounted boy!



Gene Sneakers are being sneakery and hiding in the bushes until orks get close enough to pounce on



The broodlord cleaned out squad of immortals on his own before they stood back up and started shooting him in the back!



Gene sneakers VS Boys. Once again the broodlord managed to flatten the pile of them, but it was too late!



I don't play my tyranids very often but this game taught me a lot about their strengths and weaknesses in the current printing... well mostly about their weaknesses...
After four gory turns the victory (we settled via victory points) went to the Sisters of battle by a landslide as they went last and very efficiently mopped up everyone elses mess
In the future I will definitly be playing a much different tyranid build

One of the other games I played was against my brother. I played my Tau and he played my Aurora Chapter leaving us both out of our element.

This is after turn one, One landraider down but a whole army of mech closing in:\



From the other end



SOme brave Krut attacking terminators from the brushline.



Thye took one terminator out shooting....... but the inevitable happened >.<



And this is where the game unfortunately had to end.



The tau were in very bad shape after not having much luck shooting down the marines and my brother and I were distracted by going out for the midnight release of MW3
I conceded as it was soon to be a slaughterfest!

After this I got one more game in before I left but I don't have any pictures of it.

I played my chaos VS some very cheesy Grey Knights but managed to stomp them into the ground after 5 rounds regardless of the daemon hate!

4 days and I can post up some more warhound pictures!

Short update today, I figured I would post up pictures of my newly assembled Land Raider Proteus

I love this thing! Can;t wait until I get my second one in the mail!









Very well designed model! Other than some fun trimming on the tracks the fitment was excellent overall

I want one! It is a very cool tank, I regret not putting it on my christmas list now

Love the Proteus, planning on getting one with my tax return.

Where did you get that chapel building in the battle pictures? Would love to add one to my terrain collection.

Commander Cain wrote:I want one! It is a very cool tank, I regret not putting it on my christmas list now

Yeah I love how they have a very rogue trader look to them but lack the wonky proportions of the old LR models!
I just wish my second one arrived when I ordered it... >.<

I got it at my FLGS It's made by a company called Pegasus but I was unable to find a good website for the company.

It's actually a really neat bulding as it is all modular and can be assembled any way you choose. I may even pick up a few more to make some towers with

I'll be updating this thread later today. Sadly with all the hussle and bussel of the holidays I haven't gotten a lot done >.@!

Nice Landraider Mate, I am a little jealous of this one. How is the Warhound coming on?

I am loving I like multi project threads the Proteus looks cool I had a very nostalgic glow when I saw it on Forgeworld before the Prometheus,Crusader,Redeemer,Terminus Ultra there was the Proteus kit x2 for a twenty quid (or close to it) ahhhhh the RT days cant beat em...

Yeah keep the good work up man

I know exactly what you mean! The second I saw the Proteus model it was instant nostalgia! I was never able to buy one of the old style land raiders when I was younger because every single one that was allocated to the only GW dealer in town was scooped up as soon as it hit the shelves by older people with more $$$. I've since thought about buying a second hand one but have never liked the difference in scale. The proteus really filled that gap for me.

Ask and ye shall receive!

Here are the 2 pics of the little bit of progress I got done on my Waround. Realistically it's not a lot but it makes it look quite a bit better already!





I still have a lot of work to do to finish the base coat o gold and then some more to add depth to it. I can't wait to see how fun this looks with proper shading and weathering!

I also took a few shots of the Proteus with some Chaos Undivided doors beside a normal Land Raider to show a scale comparison



I also realized that I don;t think I have ever posted pictures of my land raider that I painted over 10 years ago This was my very first LR that I scooped from a Space Marine Mega Force before it was available separately! I then modified it with a pile of chaos tank bits that now come standard in the LR kit



The inside is actually painted in extreme detail but I don;t have a good enough camera to take a picture of it!





Here they are again being towered over by the Warhound



I also saw this model on ebay and absolutely had to have it for no other reason than it is completely absurd !



And that's about that for my time off this run!

I do however have several models with me at work to assemble and will be keeping everyone posted

Thanks for tuning in!

That Warhound is begging for 30mins with an Airbrush, it would look uber. As it is it looks pretty good. Keep plugging at it man, I look forward to seeing the results.

The Warhound is begging for 30 minutes of anything I need to open the cockpit up and paint the interior so I can finalize assembly and get on to the making it look awesome!

Hopefully I will have some time to spend on it after the holidays are over!

I've gotten a few things done here at work in the last couple days.

And what do you make out of this pile of bits?



Why It's a land speeder!



And I trimmed, prepped and fit up a pile of these Forge World bad boys



Once they have a bath they will be ready to glue togeather!

I have a few more things on the go here too and will keep everyone posted

SO i was just thinking to myself that the points totals for my armies in my sig are looking rather out of date... I will have to make up fresh lists of what I actually have ... that should take a million years!

Soooo I got a few more things done.

Got all three land speeders and all of the drones glued





Then I started looking through my space marine bits box that I haven't been through in a while and fond all sorts of neat stuff

old water transfers



A bunch of mid 90's sticker banners





and some neat old guns. old pattern bolters, hand flamers, las pistols, ect



just thought I would share

Nice retro goodies

Haha yeah, it makes me want to go through my other bitz boxes and see what treats I can find

Wow, just wow!
The scale of which you work on this hobby is just amazing.. Makes it suck to be young and cashless! No matter, in time I might get up to your level
Until then I'll just keep my Tau WAY away from them all! The atlantic ocean will hopefully do that rather well well...

The Titan is great, can't wait to see more pics of it as it slowly (but quite surely, I will grant you) transforms into the horrible mechanized herald of death it will undeniably become!
