Tanks a lot!

Whirlwind and the predator are made up bar the tracks. Last time I built it after painting the inside but didn't bother with it there really is no point as you don't see it. 

Had a go at making some objective markers. Made 6 altogether, I had the idea of having the objective number look like they are a part of the scenery. The number of the markers will be apart of it as well for example one has a shoulder guard and on it will be a number from 1 to 6.  Also each marker has a reason why each would possible be an objective. Such as the missiles or homing beacon. Just a little idea thought it would be better than using dice. 

Emergency brakes on!!

First off land speeder done. 

I'm thinking it might want a little more weathering but I didn't want to over do it so I'll think about it. 

Right I have spent a silly amount of money on these plastic toy soldiers so it's time I hit the brakes a little. My eBay win came, and I got my whirlwind and predator. I have a stupid amount of models to crack on with the now and that's not even including the dark eldar (more on them in a bit.)

Loads. 

So I am going to work on the new whirlwind, Techmarine and predator this month for the tournament. 

I also picked up a dark eldar codex. I really like the dark eldar and since starting up I always had in mind to have a good and bad army so to speak. I love the fluff behind the dark eldar and the models are awesome. They are deadly in close combat too. I managed to win 40 Wyches on eBay (bloody 40! I was silly bidding just because it was on 99p and won them). My idea is just a small army to start with but it will be a few months off yet. I shall practice my technique on these Wyches. 

And last and pretty much least completely unrelated  I came home to this the other day

My wife bought a bloody dog!!! Oh well least it's tiny.....

Moar Men Needed sir!

I have been on eBay again and managed to snag an auction containing:

1 Commander (captain)

2 tactical squads

2 scout squads

1 command squad

1 assault squad 

It also came with a Kr multicase. I was really pleasantly surprised with the quality of this case. I had pondered over these before and came to the conclusion that the asking price for the Kr cases are way too much for what is essentially a cardboard box. That said after receiving this whilst it is cardboard it's really dense and feels nice and sturdy. I would defiantly consider getting another in the future. 

I have been watching a few air brushing techniques on YouTube and decided to give a high and low light technique a go. I took a model previously sprayed with yriel yellow all over. I then sprayed from below averland sunset then from above with flash gitz yellow. I'm so far happy with how it's turning out.  Have a photo it's not the best but you get the idea. 

Assault Centurions done!

Finally finished my assault centurions. My wife bought me these as an early Christmas present at the start of December I think. 

Next up is the land speeder

My pictures are pretty poor looking at them. Not really surprising as I have been taking them with iPad and htc one m8 which has a shocking camera. 

Going to look at getting a better set up for my photos.

Techmarine stripper!

Got my new Techmarine from eBay yesterday plopped him into some dettol. I have taken it out tonight and removed the goopy paint. His left arm was plastic so I just made him a new one up out of some bits I have. 

He is good to go now and ready to prime. 

Whirlwind Finished!

All done ready for the game tomorrow 

Whirlwind WIP

Just a quick photo of the Whirlwind. Made a good start on it tonight hopefully will be done tomorrow
