Shield of Baal thoughts.

The fellas at el taller deyila have pictures of the new models from White Dwarf of the new box set Shield of Baal: Deathstorm. I am sure you have all seen them but if not here you go.

Showcase: Commander Shadowsun update.

With whatever flu or cold that was kicking my butt last week I didn't have a lot of time to work on the hobby.  I did get to update my Commander Shadowsun to match my current scheme of blue helmets for HQ choices. I also added some highlights to her armor.  I hope you like her.

Alternate Sisters of Battle?

My wife has kidded me about getting her a Sister of Battle army to play.  I always say if they ever make a plastic kit for them I would do it.

Showcase: Fire Warriors

I continued on my quest to finish up my Tau force by working on some fire warriors. 

WIP: Next wave of fire warriors, pain boy, mad doc

This weekend I finally decided to build the ork painboy and mad doc that I bought when the new codex came out.It was never really urgent to finish them since I was playing other armies but for some reason I just had a bug.  Now if only I could prime them.

Showcase Cadre Fireblade

I have a few moments to work on my cadre fireblade this weekend.  I like the look of this HQ choice and he has been waiting to be painted for several months now.

Like with darkstrider I had to change up his head and give him a helmet.  I painted it blue to match my color scheme with all the infantry.  Too bad I didn't do this with my crisis suits.  I am tempted to go back and fix Shadowsun as well. 

I just can bring myself to paint over the briliant paint job of Brandon Anderson's crisis suit commander.

 Hope you guys have a great rest of the weekend.

Questions? Comments? Pew pew pews?

Pathfinders completed...

...just in time to cancel Adepticon! While I am happy that the pathfinders are complete I have decided that I will not be going to Adepticon. Things have come up and so I won't be able to make it to the great con. I might be able to hit up another con we shall see.

Thoughts on the new Venomthrope and Zoanthrope.

With the release of the new venomthrope / zoanthrope kit I thought I would take a few seconds to give my impressions of the new kit.

Doom!!!!!!!

So with all the new bugs rumors flying around there is a new one that has surfaced.  reports are that there is a new kit coming out the week after the spore pod that makes venomthropes or zoanthropes or a new neurothope.  These rumors come from Faeit 212 and also the Bell of Lost Souls Lounge.

Showcase: Pathfinders

Last night I had some time to work on my Tau Pathfinders. I finished up 5 of them. Warning loads of pics incoming.

Plans for the firestorm Redoubt

So last post I talked about how I wanted to make a firestorm redoubt for my Tau. While I could get the actual set and use it I think that it would look better if it was more of a Tau feel. First of all I have to have an idea to start with.

Showcase: Darkstrider

My friend Stewie gave me a pack of pathfinders and Darkstrider for my birthday. I quickly assembled the models and primed them this weekend.  Last night I started painting them and focused on finishing Darkstrider. Here are shots of the fruit of my labor.

More news and more bugs

On the tail of the Tyrannocyte we get the Sporocyst and the Mucolid spore cluster.

Our Prayers have been answered!!!!!

Holy cow the Tyranids get their spore pod back!

another objective marker

 So looking at my choices on the Internet for objective markers I have stumbled onto another site.
The site Conversion Fanboy has some objective markers that would work with any of my armies.
