I got records on my fingers and I just can't stop!

Ill all last week so no posts :(
This week is a frenetic week of catching up with work.
That and I decided to assemble all my recently bought warmahordes stuff ???
So after 5 vengers, 6 jacks, hordes of infantry 2 titans (don't fit together), a shit load of superglue, GS and drill bits, I thought I had finished, only for another 12 packs to arrive today :)

The PP models are beautiful, but some of there kit choices (seperate hands) is taking the piss a bit :P and please don't get me ranting on about those titans.
Migth slow down with it a bit now and focus on painting in preparation to getting a few battle engines and the colossals when they are launched.

Also looking to have a look at a new club in Rotherham on a Tuesday, less distance to travel, so will see.

Slow day

Loads of models are on the bench today, ready for pinning and gluing.
Then a swift undercoat and we are good to go.
I am partaking in the PP tale of painters and upto now am managing to paint around 35 points a month (required is 5).
I have finished off an Avatar and hoping to do a few Cygnar jacks as well as a couple of menoth units I am dying to try out.
All this has been funded by me buying and splitting the 2 player boxset.
For an outlay of £120 I have £200 in return plus nearly half the models left.
Shame waugh games couldn't deliver fast enough as I was on a bit of an earner there.
Ah, well their loss, if they don't want a guaranteed £120 every week, no skin off of my nose :)
I was hoping to get the stuff trade, but it is like getting rocking horse shit.

Anyway off to do some testing.

Laters

I am shite at warmachine :)

Went to a new LGS yesterday.
The Outpost on furnival gate.

Looks ok, but very poor advertising and comms this early in a shops life does not bode well.
We did however get a £5 voucher and Eva bought herself a Cygnar Firefly that she has been wanting for weeks.
But the staff (and there were loads of them) ignored her and focused on me, even though she was the one with the cash, making the purchase.
Now in this day and age, after years of this hobby being populated by smelly teenage boys/men, you would think the staff would try to embrace a bit of female interest, but no, even though some of them were female (I think)!
They also failed to mention their small warmachine tourney this afternoon. Instead thinking it better to give 12 hours notice via facebook??? WTF.

So we decided to play here and practice (I am not ready for tourneys, let alone her).
Eva took pHaley, firefly, thorn and a sentinel for 12 pts (what the tourney was pointed at) and I took pKreoss, a crusader and after having much success with the avatar over the past few weeks, one of those.

Now the avatar works great at 25pts+ but below that he seems to be a bit of a points drain. It never did anything of any use and after 3 turns firefly had electrocuted kreoss to a crisp followed up by a deft charge and haley charged in to finish the job.
She just needs to read up on what her stuff can do and I think a future warmachine champion is in the making :)

I am shite at blogging!

Well almost 12 months since my last post.

A quick catchup.
Started going back to the GIMPS on a Thursday, warmaster fever has subsided for now and my mate Gaz has decided we should play Warmachine, so 3 factions and about 2.5k later we are well into it.

Main problem with going to a gaming club is the exposure to new games that tempt you to play.
In the 9 months I have been going, I have bought nearly every plane for Wings of War, loads of warmachine and hordes stuff as well as playing a fair bit of mordheim.

Off now to paint me an avatar :)
Hopefully type sooner rather than later.

:)

Grinding to a halt :(

Well long time no post.
The albion horsemen are still only half finished.
I have been distracted by boardgames in the past few months.
Also been playing a bit of epic.

Now looking to get an Araby army but need to sell my high elves and empire surpluses to fund it!

So if you are in the market for around 1000 points (around 12 units) of empire or high elf forces for £60 each drop me a mail.
I will of course do a discount for a bulk purchase (there are 6000 points in total).

Hopefully post sooner rather than later.

Painter's block

Having painted 1000's of points worth of armies for commissions I have completely burnt out.
I cannot face the 8 units of albion warriors on my bench :(
That said I am seriously back into nerf with our arsenal now totalling 13 guns.
So hopefully have an update on the painting one day soon :)
Just have a 2k high elf and a 3k empire army to shift now :)

Playing another round of castle ravenloft tonight though.

More commission work

Well long time between posts again.
But this is due to the fact that the bloke who bought the 4k chaos force then went on to buy another 2k of chaos followed by 3.5k of high elves.
Pics can be seen here http://www.sg.tacticalwargames.net/forum/index.php?topic=190.75

So continuing on this thread, I have bought a 3k empire army and 2k of high elves.
With a view to sell on as is or paint up if their is interest.
Hopefully this will pay for my araby army.
I will be using it for both the araby list and the 2 fan lists.

Currently I have just painted up the remaining heroes for the Albion force, that leaves 8 units of warriors and 8 units of cavalry.
But the exersions of the past few weeks have caused me to slow down a bit.

So if anyone wants any of the afore mentioned armies drop me a mail and we shall try to come to a deal.

Now off to sort out what I need for my Araby force.

Later
