Ah... babe... leather... violent. Should be right up Solar's alley.

It's hard not have want Kate Beckinsale right up your alley. She's quite the hotty.

Hey Gits, how are you gonna know when this army is done? Do you have a set goal for it or is it just gonna be one of those things that you collect for ever until make a whole chapter?

It's gonna be one of those things I collect forever until I paint all the crap I have lying around. I really haven't bought anything new for it in a long, long time. I just have so much stuff and paint so slowly that it seems like forever. I've got some termies to do yet... I'd like two full squads of assault marines (so... another 10) and I have a bunch of vehicles (rhinos/razorbacks, predators, vindicators, land raiders) that I'd love to get painted up. Even another squad of scout bikes and 3 attack bikes. In general... when I paint what I've got, I'm done. But I'm afraid that will be years down the road yet.

It's also going to get to the point where his Inquistorial squads (Read: GMS trades) are large enough for full armies.

That's kind of the point Alf. For my later period army, the Inquisitional squads are supposed to make up the tactical element... which is why so many of my trades have been for normal, bolter guys. So while it may not look like I've been working on my post-crusade army... actually, I've accomplished quite a bit (over 2 tac squads and several characters).

I knew you've had at least 1 squad, lol and I figured that my Marine was going to be a part of a second or third squad.

Third squad. When I get his shoulder pad and base done I'll take a pic of the lot.

Loving the speeder work, Gits!

Really like the different ways that you have done ur tanks, and it somehow also uniforms them all together too!

Thank you Casey & Haz!

Got a little bit of work done... ammo feeds are now painted!



They're looking more like shells than missiles, but what the heck.

As someone whom has seen the entire collection it is truely an awesome sight. There is also a large collection of Orks, Necrons and Nids that he can trace his hand in..

Truely inspiring!

You are a olympian in patience Gits. I would have caved in and drybrushed and washed my way out of that a long time ago

Thanks Red!

Sorry guys, no updates. Between work and home responsibilities I've been completely swamped. Pinewood Derby time again so I've been helping out with that. At least that'll be over tomorrow evening. Thing 1 and I have a game in limbo, no progress on the speeders, you know the drill. Keep your fingers crossed... still hoping for making some progress some time this weekend.

Unforgivable, I want my comedy hazard stripes. I demand soapbox WIPs!

Seconded!!! Everyone quote this and thrided fouthed ect the most recent seconded thirded fourthed qutoe thing if that makes sense!!!

I'd like to see the results of Thing 1's game honestly...

I would like a baby ruth.

MOAR BAT REPS!


*cough* Ahem.... well then. Sorry for the outburst.

Evening/mornin' gents! Finished the detail on the missile pods tonight as well as finally finishing my game with Thing 1. Hopefully... bat rep in the not too distant future. Great game, very exciting and bloody.

Oh good. The bloodier the better.

very nice missile pod feed update, but are missiles really cased in brass?

I have finally made it through this blog resorting to looking at the pictures and gainging the genral idea of what was happening. My favourite models have to be the Tranquility Dreads, the Jump-Pack Chaplain and the corrupted Tranquility Vanguard. Keep up the awesome work

The landspeeder is looking very nice

I was hoping to really have shown you guys some progress tonight, but I couldn't because CORMANDEPANDA made me go back and re-paint my missiles from their brass casings to shiny new white casings... So if you're unhappy (graven) that your "pet" part of the project hasn't been addressed yet.... you know EXACTLY who to complain to (it ain't me).

@Nashbashem: I'm so pleased you took the time to work through this monstrosity! Thank you! The jump pack chaplain isn't my work I'm afraid... that was a protege' of pyriel-'s (with a bit'o touching up by him I suspect). I hope you found it worth your time. Please come back frequently and contribute. Make it even better by adding your voice and opinions, I welcome them!

So... here's the "progress"... more vents done, gas cap painted, "new" rockets of course. I'm slowly getting there. Forgot to highlight the rockets... will do that after I post.




OH... played a new game with the kids today. Three words...

"Wings of Glory"

... and another three words...

"Best... Game... Ever!"

Why??
- beautiful models
- cheap
- stupid simple to learn
- challenging
- fun
- fantastic game to play with young kids through adults
- no real limit to how many can play
- no dice rolling

Go check it out!

Looking good Gits! I do love the Landspeeder models even though they are dog awful to assemble! I really like the colour fading and the lenses on the marines are excellent, and there's nothing wrong with brass cased rockets! you boyz just like style that's all :-)

Looking good, Gits!

Wings of Glory WW II or WW I? I really want to play the WW I version.

WWI

Gitz,
Are you and your kids Star Wars fans? X-Wing uses the same Wings of War/Wings of Glory rules. I'm a pretty big fan!

PS. I could really use feedback on the basing scheme that I'm trying at my P&M Blog. Please check it out if you get a chance. Thanks.

I was at an anime convention this weekend and played a board game called smashup.



It was a lot of fun and fairly simple to learn. I think you and the kids would love it.

@Anpu-adom: I'll take a look.

@wyfox: Thanks for the tip... I'll keep that in mind for future holidays!
