Suggested names "stroppy and careless" I like. Sorry Brian!

More than that actually. I've been blogging really over at www.platoonbritannica.com for most of the year, but with my latest project, a comission for a friend of two flaming skulls legio warhound titans, a few people have been asking for a WIP thread that wasn't on that forum so they could have a look. Anyway! I'm not going to go back over the ENTIRE WIP, so I'll post up some of the update pics from the last two weeks, to give an idea. Im supposed to be going along to a midlands meet for platoon at the start of december/end of nov, really looking forward to it. Only downside is that were probably at GW warhammer world, and have a condition of citadel only models on the day! Apart from the above, Im painting a knight models release, a heresy model, a bane lords model and judge dredd models...time to find something from GW apart from titans I want to paint!

I have embarked upon an epic quest, determined, as I am, to have a painted army for our clubs warhammer tournament in January. Im still working on a couple of display peices, but its refreshing to manage to finish a nice looking unit/war machine or whatever in a night to a tabletop standard. The list to do so far: 40 clanrats 40 slaves 8 plague censor bearers 34 plague monks Already started: Queek headtaker warplightning cannon + scenic base and crew 5 jezzails poison globe mortar I may regret promising myself this! But anyway, I want another army I can be as happy with as my Wood elves. That I leave alone, dont canibilise, repaint or mess with.

Good god, three posts in as many days. Who would credit it? Well, I've had something of a re-inspiration to paint and model, Platoon always seems to be able to do this for me. Whilst others have lost faith, and need time away following the controversies of last weekends judging, I feel more invigorated to improve than I did in the run up to Golden Demon. Anyway. I promised posting the pictures. Apologies for the photos, I'm a painter, not a photographer. Also been working on Viktoria more (weyhey!)

I bought the island of blood box! Man alive, these models are gorgeous. No suprise that golden demon this year was positivley saturated with beautiful high elf and skaven models. Well, I'll finish Viktoria first.

So, I did actually finish a couple of entries in time! Despite a hectic weekend including a kickboxing belt grading, a wedding, friends coming to stay AND games day, I got there and entered. I entered the Krieg Guards Captain that won my clubs painting competition back in June. This was more because it was already done and to hand, I had very little real anticipation it might win anything. I also entered my Elysian Drop Sentinal, which I was quite happy with. This got a finalist pin, and sat on the top shelf with the eventual category winners most of the day. It also got on the GW site, which was nice. Deathmaster Snikch also finalised, but sat on a low shelf with a chip that appeared not long after entering. Annoying, but shit happens. He also got on the GW site. I'll add more posts at some point, but blogger doesnt seem to want to play today.

Well that was fun! The siege of Terra campaign is over, and I am extremley tired. Results not so good - loss, loss, draw, loss. But I had a lot of fun getting there. It was worth attending just to see the Lion (Luther model....Caliban had already been decided by then :( ) charging a Stompa head on and ripping it apart. Some fantastic armies on display, well painted and converted. Dissapointing how many regular 40k armies turned up, well painted, but its a 30k tournament guys, leave your errant armour at home. Shame how many of these armies were nominated for best army at an event aimed at conversion to heresy era armour/weapons/vehicles. In the end, won by a brilliant Exodite army well deserved. Ill post up some pictures at some point, but thats to the Great Crusade guys for making me so welcome at my first event, thanks to everyone I met in the Caliban taskforce for being a generally nice bunch, and well done to Ross at mywargame for getting his Dark Mechanicum nominated, even if he...
