Glory to the mailed fist of the Emprah!

Screen broke, tilt head.

Mmmmm formidable

Hydras, Manticores and the chassis for my FW Medusa kit.

So after months of scheduling conflicts I finally got over to my buddy's house to use his airbrush. It took about 2 hrs and a full bottle of Vallejo Air to complete EVERY one of my Chimera chassis tanks. From this point I will apply a gloss coat and start weathering. I am very pleased with the speed and efficiency of the airbrush and look forward to attempting some more advanced techniques.

Death Korp test model

So I finished the test model for the Death Korp. I really like the way this came out.

Mud. Lots o' mud.

Watchmaster.

I like the wet look on the mud.

More on these guys when they get finished.

Calaban the Gravewalker for WarmaHordes. Almost completed project for a customer.

Still cranking away at getting more of the army done. Trying to avoid the basic infantry for as long as possible because I have some figs to add to them (see below) and they will burn me out pretty quickly. In other news, a very good buddy of mine is putting the finishing touches on a fully converted squad of female IG based off from the DE Wyches box set. I plan on intermingling the girls in with my normal infantry squads to add a little variation.

Next up after the vets is the finished Astropath, then on to the Psyker Battle Squad conversions. I pillaged a buddies Ork bitz last night in order to get some of the spent shell bitz from the Ork bikerz to add some action to my heavy weapons teams. Guess they will need some paint soon too.

Lastly, it looks like I will be able to post up some video battle reports here pretty soon. Looking forward to showing the lads in action. See you guys soon!

My book report, maam!

So I finished reading both of Henry Zou's novels. Flesh and Iron, and Emperor's Mercy. Flesh and Iron is a prequel of sorts explaining the origin of the main Chaos leader in Emperor's Mercy. Flesh and Iron drags on for 200+ pages and reminds me of reading a high school history book. My suggestion is to pass on this novel and go for Emperor's Mercy.

Now this is a gritty, tough, hell yeah for the hero novel. The main characters are an Inquisitor and his lackey. PS: The lackey is more hard-ass than the Inqui. I strongly suggest this novel if you like the idea of some behind enemy lines type reading.

The Assembled Hydras

After what seems like a forever long wait I have completed the Hydra battery. These things are brutal. 12 S7 shots that re-roll misses at 72" range. Plus 9 S5 HBolter shots at 36". Got armor saves? Cool, make 20. I will be airbrushing next week and I promise to post the results...even if they are tragic.
