Howdy all,

So I would like to start off by saying this my first blog and the first time I've shown my work online so I'm a little . . . Apprehensive - please be gentle

With that out of the way, WELCOME TO MY (first) BLOG!!

For the last few years I've had a deep seated interest in the Astral Claws and the Badab Secession as a whole. I have no idea why, but I love it.
So I've decided I will create a force/s based on that war, starting with the Astral Claws and the Tyrants Legion.

So I rounded up the 60 odd Space Marines on sprues I had lying around (yes I had 60 on sprues just chilling out on my floor) and started building them up.

So I hope you like what you see, comments and criticisms please, and I apologise for the poorer quality of the photos

Do you have a macro setting on your camera? It will allow you to take close up shots of your stuff without the accompanying blur. Also, great stuff! Keep at it!

Ah, yes it does. Thank you

So it's been a busy week with work so I haven't done a very much. Well aside from 10 Terminators, a full Tactical Squad, a Devastator Squad, most of a Command Squad, and some random unrelated things.

However a large pay day is coming up, thus things shall be brought!

I'll post some pictures tomorrow as it's my first day not working in nearly a month and a half
