Devilfish Mk I: Better the Devil you know...

Hello one and all!

Days fleet past and I am so out of touch with all the wargamming madness, so I reside in my 'Hermit Hole' counting the days in paint pots, brushes and endless University Notes, obviously the former is the far more interesting to talk about. I look forward to rekindling my artistic spirit over this Christmas break. Here, we have my very first Devilfish. Read on to hear my thoughts on this new model and also a small segment on my thoughts of the new Tau...

XV88: Hey there Mr Broadside!

 Welcome once again to my little blog!

A theme of lasts seems to be cropping up now as I start to progress through this army, and I continue with the last Broadside. I love to loathe these models, let's be honest they look really cool but they are so impractical, their tiny little legs cannot hold their massive upper bodies. GW seriously needs to get these guys to stop skipping leg day. And to be fair to them, they have. The new Broadside models are so much more practical providing a sturdy base even if they are just plastic. In my opinion it was the best remodel GW has done for a long time. Onto the pictures!

Firewarrior Squad IV: Posing for the camera!

Hello again!

A relatively quick post to showcase the full Squad IV of Firewarriors. Some close ups to follow after the break!

Filling in the Ranks! Firewarrior Squad IV: Part 2

Hello!

Once again we find ourselves on the war torn front line of the Tau Empire. As I have heard there are rumours going about for a new Tau codex. I have no idea how pivotal they will be in this codex. From my experience with the current codex a solid Firewarrior line is deadly, but the last time I played 40k was 6th edition so my opinion may be out dated. I have had a blast painting these guys but alas it is my last firewarrior squad for this army. Read on to here what my thoughts are for these models and what could be done for possible new kits in the new codex.

 Hello one and all!

What a busy time it has been, I hope you are all keeping well. I have been busy painting, studying and golfing - unfortunately not in that order as a certain 'S' word was taking priority. But I'm back, bolstered and busy with my big ol' battle brush to bring my Tau painting up to date! Read on to see some more shots of this new squad:

Hello one and all!

 

Time to start typing away again for this weeks post. Some weeks ago I was invited to play a fun game of Shako 2 using a massive sand pit - yes that's right a sand pit. It covers the full length of the room and is really spectacular to see. The sand is first moulded into shape - a vigorous process so I'm told - and then flocked with coloured finely ground saw dust. Words cannot convey it's grandure but the pictures to follow will hopefully do it justice!

Something New: A look back

Hello Folks,

Another year has come to an end. Despite it being fairly unproductive on my part I have enjoyed the few figures I have painted and slowly but surely I hope to keep up this trend. Instead of declaring my promises for the coming year I'm just going to paint little and often and we'll see what gets done. But for this post I decided to do something a bit different. I have collated the various single shot pictures of my commissioned Tau and put them into a movie with some funky space music for you to enjoy.(Music also known as Alpha Centauri by UFO, I do not own the copyrights for this music and I am using it without permission. All rights are owned by UFO and their labels.) So sit back, relax and enjoy this video.

Happy New Year and all the best for 2015!
