I finished (finally) my first squad of Primaris marines! I thought I'd share them, and some of my views on them. Squad Daviel in all its plasma glory I've got shedloads of tactical marines. I mean, half a company. They're not all well painted but there's some real characters in there I've come to love. That's why when the new primaris marines came out, I couldn't see much value in adding the Intercessor, bolt rifle armed varient to my 7th company. I love plasma weapons and in days gone by, (recently re-invested in by GW) Dark Angels were particularly fond of them too, so I went for helblasters. This unit is horrible on the field. I bought them for looks and background but my first playtest had them decimate a Dreadnaught in a turn of shooting. They are equally happy slugging it out with short range heavily armoured elite troops, ormedium to long range with support troops like themselves. Those incinerators are multi damage, high ap weapons that...

Seems fitting that I join the hordes of other people setting goals for 2018! I have lots of personal goals which have until now meant my hobby has taken a back seat. A career that used to be the reason I picked up a paintbrush to cope, has become a success and taken off for me, lots of challenges to come. My martial arts training and fitness has suffered, and I'm really keen to get to my first dan stripe on my black belt this year. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing if I can balance these things against painting models! Hobby goals Josh, hobby. Commission works I'm currently working on Mortarion, and I'm hoping to get him finished for the end of January. Friend I'm painting him for is the same crazy man with all the titans I've previously painted, and he keeps threatening me with a Warlord. It would be crazy - but I'd love to be able to say I've painted one. One of Mortarion's roadies - very fun to paint He's also got...

I've been reminded of this blog's existence! It is with shame that I realise it has been some years since I updated - but, I have been beavering away on a number of things. Some of them here. Firstly, Saamael, master of the Ravenwing. This is actually my second of this model, having painted the metal on release - a friend bought me the finecast release for Christmas to have another go with some more experience and hopefully skill under my belt ten years later. As you can see I've tried to go to town on the book and detail this time it, hope it's going well. I'm also working on some Ravenwing black Knights using the forge world outriders kit, also bought by a friend for Christmas! (It's been a Ravenwing year) As well as these, I'm working on a comission Mortarion, a Deathwing Ancient and a Naughty Gears bust. More to follow I hope! Josh
