Thanks guys, I really had a great time.
Well I have found a few moments to start a new project, since January my club has been running an escalation campaign. The idea being you start with 500pts get it painted & move up in points cost to the next level. Well it isn't my style to paint in small blocks with armies so I have just got the army undercoated & fully magnetised so it is painting time. I get extra points for painted & wisiwyg so it needs to be done by Tuesday night. We will see if I can do it! Picture is just missing a Vyper which is drying. The new codex changed my list somewhat so I only need 1500pts painted, this is more like 2000pts.

Are those the new bike kits or the old ones?

Unfortunately I bought 15 just before the new models came out which was very annoying. I have bought a set of 3 of the new ones and the Farseer is the new model (I magnetised his arm to have either the spear or witchblade). The new bikes are lovely models but I tend to run basic unmodded bikes anyway so these will do fine. If anything you could prob pick up some old ones at a bargain price now.

Well it has been a long time since I have been on, I have been quite busy with RL stuff. I am currently finishing off my commission for Whalemusic360, painting a blood bowl skaven team from Black Scorpion for a blood bowl tournament I am running in March. Speaking of which if you are in the UK near Andover and fancy a two day tournament here are the links;

Sorry for the blurry pic, I find some times it goes a bit like that on uploading. Anyway they have been given away now so no chance to take anymore shots.

A quick update on the sons of Medusa for Whalemusic. Progress has been slow but I am back in the groove! Scouts are coming on & I have started the three tech marines and the thunder fire cannon. A little teaser WIP pic;



Demon next week, I am not sure I will have an entry. We will see!

Ps. The MARBBL tournament stands for Mark (me) Albion Rules Blood Bowl League (my local gaming club) in Andover. It is usually just the ARBBL tournament, my first time running it this year!

I was just wondering if you were still alive over there.

So last weekend was Warhammer Fest (used to be Games Day) I decided on a late entry for Golden Demon as I have suffered a bit of ill health over the last couple of months. So I wasn't expecting much as I could only dedicate 4 evenings of painting to the model which started on the sprue. He is the Betrayal at Calth Praetor in Cataphractii armour. It did not make the cut but it was nice to still enter something, the taking part & all that. Here are a couple of pics.









I hope you like him! Next up is finishing the Sons of Medusa.

Excellent work on the skin and freehand on the back of the robe. Like the blood spatters too.

Thanks guys, it was a good day, caught up with old friends, saw some great new models and saw some awesome painting in Demon. Had a go at the kitbash competition but they only supplied super glue to make plastic models ( probably health & safety related) which made sticking them together very hard! I will post some photos of the highlights later. Spoke to the team doing Bloodbowl and they had lots of interesting news for the up & coming new release. Saw the pitch dug outs and new dice as well as the two plastic teams that will come with the box.

A bit of progress tonight on the sons of medusa, I am hoping to have the scouts finished by the end of the week. The serg has had the most attention, I really love this model. A couple of pics of the wip.

Not sure on the colored cables going to the gun. Seems a little off on such a bright scheme.

I think just black or silver would be fine. I'm more of a limited palette kind of guy.

A bit more work done on the scouts tonight, nearly finished the serg and I think I will go black on the cables. I am still not happy with his chapter symbol and will work on that further. I can't decide how to do the camo on the cloaks, I have an idea of doing blown up sections of the chapter symbol in black and an off grey, like just an ark with the spike bits & maybe a bit of the skull. I also have been considering a digital camo pattern. Any preference Whalemusic? Any way a couple of pics;

Looking good. I like that the cable in black brings the focus to his face more. The chapter cape logo sounds cool, but do you think it will look to chaos star like? I also like the idea of digicam, think it's plausible on that small a scale?

Ok Whalemusic, let me know what you think on the digital camo, if you don't like it I will stop now as it is quite fiddly to paint!

That looks great. Transitions nice to a mini, since scaling down an actual pattern would look a mess.
