Hi Everyone
Apologies for my blogging hiatus. Its been a busy time for both myself and the hobby and as such I've been wrapped up in a whole host of things which have made me neglect the blog. So where do we begin...
Over the past month or so, everyone will have been acutely aware of the influx of Greenskins filling our stores. For most this may be seen as a fungal infestation which needs to be eradicated, but for me its reinforcements. There are some fantastic new models, many of which are long overdue - namely the MegaNobz - with nice new kits for the Big Meks, Meks and Painboy. I'm hoping to be adding some of these guys to my horde over the coming months but i'm going to make a concerted effort to get my current collection painted up before I plough to much of my money into more models (see below).
Several weeks ago, Nick was transported into the mirror universe and was replaced by Nicholas. Nicholas' dislike for the Eldar has left a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart and he has set us a wonderful challenge to get some alternative videos up for our YouTube Channels. For my part, Thraka's Painboy made an appearance and painted up the Chaos Lord that has been sat in my cupboard since it was gifted to me in May. Having an abundance of blues from my DeathSkullz, it only seemed right to utilise these and a Nightlords Terminator Lord was born. I was pretty happy with the final results and a short video has been posted to my channel.
WarbossTae's July Painting Challenge
I spent a great deal of time last year watching the progress achieved by fellow hobbyists during WarbossTae's 2013 July Challenge. At the time, I had just got married, was moving house and job and couldn't commit myself to involving myself in such an undertaking (my internal fear of failure resulting in an inability to attempt, lol).
This year I decided that it would be a great opportunity to bulk out my Waaagh! with a number of models which have been long overdue for priming and a paint job. As such I committed myself to painting up some boyz, Nobz, warbikers and Killa Kanz. Its now Day 10 and progress is going steady with all of the basic metallics finished and blues starting to receive their respective highlights.
Over the next few weeks I will hopefully get all of those models finished and then start work on more Boyz, some more Lootas and Burnas, and several Trukks - which may be the way to go with 7th Edition.
Keep an eye on my YouTube channel for a log of progress over the course of the month.
