One down and 2 to go...

I have started work on my remaining ravengers. These were the last that I based in the light green spray can. I thought it would make it easier to paint the light green areas but really I ended up having to do the white basecoat before the green anyway. I then painted all the body areas in blue on all 3 and then started to paint the carapace in white.

Instead of continuing the assembly line I decided to finish the guy I started. I quickly went through the rest of the steps and even highlighted him. I finished with painting the base black and got it ready for flocking.

After that I started working on the second guy. I got him to the highlighting stage. I should have him finished soon and that will bring me down to one.

 

That is all for now.

The Tau are getting closer

I can here the robotech music now.  I should paint it up as skull leader

 The Tau are almost here and I am pretty excited.  I mean look that that suit!  I love anime and so I everything about the Tau is cool.  They have mecha and hover tanks what is not to like. A lot of people critisice the head on the suit but I like it.  It is just a sensor suite so it stands to reason to be a lot like the crisis suits suite.  I would have liked a rail option but then again I will take more shots with a plasma canon and just leave the rail shots to  the broadsides and hammerhead.

Zoans that make you moan...

I had a few hours open this weekend so I continued to press on with painting my army. I decided to work on the Zoanathropes in the army since I thin they would be quick and simple here are the results.

My Adepticon Army

Last night I setup my army a took a some pictures.  See if you can find the unpainted models.

I will start working on the last 3 raveners this weekend. Hope you have a good one.

New Figs New List

If you have been reading the blog you know that I picked up a lictor dirt cheap so I decided to add him to my list as the Deathleaper (bum bum bummmmm) Lets first take a look at the list and then we can talk about this little guy.

17 Gants done...

Cheer! Another big chunk of my army is finished.  I added the flock to the base late last night.  Here they are nom nom nom.

Work Continues...

While visiting my fiancee this weekend I had a few hours to kill while she worked so I kept working on my gants. I got a full coat of scorpion green on the armor pieces and they are starting to look almost done. While I was there I also found a place to play 40k for when I move there.  Epic Loot looks nice and has a sizable gaming room.  I didn't see any terrain so I am not sure how they shape up for that but their area is as large if not larger that Fantasy Books and Games.

Here fishy, fishy, fishy!

Over the weekend there were leaked pictures of the the new Tau coming out in April.  I am both excited and sad.  I am excited because they need an update. Hopefully my anime mechs will no longer be laughed off the board. I am sad because I have no money to spend on these guys.

Looking at combat patrol..

I have been talking about my friendly list for adepticon but have completely ignored the other game I am playing, Combat Patrol.  This is a 400pt game with limits like no more than 2 wounds, limited FOC, vehicles only having front armor 11 and a few others.

More Gant Progress

So I got all of the white painted on my little dudes.  Next step will be the scorpion green.

The (g)ants go marching one by one...

Adepticon is looms closer and closer and so I need to continue to keep painting.  The next thing I am going to work on is my Termagants with devourers or as they have been called devilgants. I will keep to the same steps I used in doing my gargoyles.
Base, white layer, light green, bone, retouch, wash.  Pretty easy.

Here is a progress shot:

Updates come later.

Campaign Day One - Nom nom nom

Tonight is the first night of the campaign.  I have some markers and now I need a list.  The rules call for 3 lists: A planetstrike attacker list, a planetstrike defender list, and a regular list.  I figure I can bring a standard list to the first night of play. lets's take a look.

Now for some thing a little different.

This week at the game shop we are starting a narrative campaign for our league night fun.  I of couse will bring my bugs and try to eat the competition. TO play though I was told I need to have some objective markers to play so I set down my paint brush and picked up some model magic and got to work.

Gargoyles are finished!!

So I have finished my gargoyles and now moving on the the devilgants.  They took a while because of all the wing surface so I think I will churn out these devilgants pretty qucikly.  here are some shots of the completed gargoyles
