Fantastic looking army Reaper! Well done man.

A new army, wasnt expecting that. The wolves are looking great, looking forward to seeing them painted up.

Thanks Gits.

I know what with Golden Demon looming and all, I bought these guys a month and a bit ago from Dark Sphere and wanted to add some more but Dark Sphere no longer deliver GW products in the UK! I am sure G are behind this move, I am really getting quite pissed off with GW and I am one of their fans and an ex employee who isn't bitter!

On another note I just had to take some more pics of Arjax after I had seen to him with the liquid green stuff, he was a really poor mould!







By comparison Njal Stormcaller was no trouble at all!

I have a fine hatred of Finecast every mini I've bought has had issues. I notice that his "ahem" rear armour plate is actually missing the corner, a problem I had with a whole box of Plague Marines.

A point to note in this warm weather do not keep Finecast mini's in cases as the resin bends to fit. After taking my Plague Marines out this weekend I have one who's bolter can now shot round corners

If your after a good discounted webstore try http://www.triplehelixwargames.co.uk/ 20% discount, I've been using these guys for a few months and they are really good went down to them yesterday and the owner is a great guy.

It is a shame because Dark Sphere give even better discounts but if they can't deliver I shall have to look elsewhere! I do find fine cast easier to trim etc but the overall quality of white metal was better.

Some very good news for me to share with you all, my wife and I are expecting a little girl in December! Might be the death of my hobby though.

No more pics today I am afraid, maybe tomorrow. I have had the airbrush out tonight and a lesson I have learned is don't use foundation paints in an airbrush! It came out fine onto the models but cleaning the airbrush was a nightmare! Then I started on the yellow for the shoulder pads and it was to thin, so fired all that out and tried again and it was to thick! Then the compressor over heated so I decided to call it a night!

How did I miss this?!? congratulations reaper !!
Space wolves are looking lovely too. (not.sure if lovely is the right word to use for feral space superhumans, but whatever)

looking forward to more!!

Thanks PrototypeX! Glad you found this blog.

On another note I have had my first Iphone and Ipad game published in the app store! It's called Jet Ranger 2, its 69p and I am well pleased that it was accepted. Check it out if you can, no android release I am afraid:(

Nice! That sounds awesome... Unfortunately I'm a bit of an android freak so I don't own any apple products cant download it. But I would if I could!

Are these for he or a new army if so I can see a new blog!!! Like the logan count as modle very good...

Thanks prototype! It is quite a nice little game maybe aimed more at kids than adults but hey I have an app for sale!! Unfortunately I did it using a third party app, Sketch Nation, which limits the control I have and so far they don't have any plans for android release :(

Hi Hazzer, the Wolves are a new small army I am doing, meant to be a quick paint for gaming. I have however been quite distracted of late as I am painting a wall of the nursery with a mural! There is a big tree in a forest that fairies are living in and it is quite a big project so eating up a lot of my time! Might post a picture once I'm a bit further along! Ps Hazzer, what is he? as in "are these for he"?

Small update on the Wolves!



I'll try and get some more done over the weekend.

Looking good reaper! Btw I think I meant the inestead of he or could of been an typing error.

Update! I've been working on my Golden Demon entry today and I have made some progress. He is by no means finished but I would still welcome any comments and critisisms.
I'll let eh pictures speak for themselves;











Oh and Hazzer, the game is a foot!!!

Very nice! I like the highlights and shading on the blue especially.

Thanks Gits! I must admit I am having trouble with the front of the banner, I actually would have preferred free handing the entire thing! I have now added "Virtute et Armis" to the main scroll on the banner which translates to "By Courage & By Arms" well at least I hope that it what is says lol! Any suggestions to help improve it?

Love the badgers, but where are the mushroms?

I suck at banners... that's why none of my figures carry them. Sorry Reaper.

Am I missing some Mario reference or something with the mushrooms?

That was a kinda maniac "song" on the web a while ago

Oh right! Never seen that before but I have just posted it on the Angry Badgers gaming club facebook page announcing it as our new theme song! It is a little repetitive though.

Glad to be of service

Did a little more with the banner and the bolter but it is time for bed as I am back to work tomorrow Here are the photos for your opinions;





I'm not very pleased with the bolter and it may well get re-painted! The banner is also annoying me but at least I have got more of it done! Come on all you readers, stop lurking and let me know what you think.

Very nice. Damn, did I just say that about a smurf? Must have been the other stuff in here that I commented on

That's a lovely blue you've got on the armour, nice depth too it.

The only thing that I can comment on s that his right shin pad doesn't seem as smoothly shaded as the rest ?

These are some neat projects! Definitely Subscribed!

Yes now I look at the pictrue it could do with some more blending, I'll get straight on it when I get home from work. Thanks!

On an unrelated point my Avatar picture has changed and I did not do it, when I log in to edit my profile my normal Avatar is still there. Any ideas anyone? Any mods or admin reading this? I quite like the new picture but it isn't something I have done.

He's really nice...for a Smurf

Yeah really liking the banner especially the back. I think you have the blue spot on, looks lovely.

Now back to lurking

Thanks Giraffex! Carry on lurking with impunity!

My Avatar is back to normal!

WOW!!!!Looking good reaper! The freehand is looking nice too! I can knida agree with you on the re painting of the bolter looks too shiny for me or could be the refection... Perhaps if your up to it some leafs around its head?!?

Thanks Hazzer! Now that is a good idea putting some laurels around his head as he is a decorated veteran! If I have time I will put them on.

I have also completed my Death Watch Marine for Graven's competition, here he is in all his glory;











Here he is with a white background which do people prefer?

Very nicely done... that'll be a tough one to beat.
