Scatterfield..

Last night I worked on a variety of stuff, I cleared the Revenant before I move on to the next step of him. I wanted to make sure the tape doesn't pull off any paint, I left the tape on his feet a little too long and it did pull some patches even though it was 3M painters tape. So now I'll have to touch it up too. Either way I'm going to start working on some of the details soon. They are saying the Wraithknight is going to be 9" tall so he won't be that much smaller then the Rev. So I'll have 2 big dudes to get done.

I also worked on the bases of my old Vypers. I applied the brown texture paint and then hit it with a dark wash. I also did the same for three of my old Jetbikes, which I'll be happy are going away soon.

I converted the riders but even so I hate the old Jetbikes. I so hope the new Windrider Jetbikes look awesome. A Jetbike army could be super strong with how fast they are now.

The Avengers are almost done, just a few more touches. That and I need to finish up the bases. Once all the bases done the army I'm going to take to the 1K Tourney will be fully painted. It's a small Tourney and I figured it will be the final battle before the new Dex. It will be a tough one at 1K, but a tough fight is always fun. Well as long as my dice don't screw me haha...

My voice is raw, My lyrics are law...

I got a game in on Friday, 1K BA which I figured I'd be nutty and throw in a LR (I forgot to take any pictures so I had to steal one from my friend Sean). I played Josh's Orks and I think he has some kind of Ork training facility. I have never seen Orks shoot so well, he was putting a serious hurt on me, not to mention I could do very little in return. Thankfully the poor rolling did save me at the end, the game ended in round 5 with a roll of a 2. And with that it gave me the game haha.. He'd pummeled me pretty bad but I had castled up in a building to take one Obj and then ran to take the center Obj which was worth more. It was a fun game either way, much smack talking was had and Josh's night was made when he took out the LR. Which he didn't let go until we had left haha

But, the big news (rumors) is the pics of the Eldar Wraithknight and the Flyer (not to mention the cover).

Though it may take a couple of times to get it to load so many people are hitting it. It's cool to see a pic of both and I'm liking the look of the flyer which I was a bit worried about. I don't really like the Dar Forgeworld flyers, the small ones at least, the one that looks like a Klingon Bird of Prey is pretty cool but how often are you going to be running that 8). If the Dar flyers looked terrible I was just going to buy the DE ones and mod them but thankfully I don't think I'll have to. The pic is small and your have to really zoom in but what I'm looking at so far looks cool.

The Wraithknight, some parts I really like some I'm a little so so about. The arms and head look too small to me, maybe it's the angle or I'm just being nit picky. Who knows.. But either way it looks to be kitted out pretty nicely. And with it probably being $85 bucks it will most likely kick ass since they will want to be selling a bunch of them. I've been really looking forward to the Dar release and now I am even more.

They are saying that pre orders will be up by the 24th and will go on sale June 8th. Which is nice (if it happens), when I spurge and drop a ton of coin I'll say it's for Father's Day. My own little gift to myself haha.. WHOOT !

Stay on target..

They are getting close to being done. I've been working on their armor, I had started to do the final edge highlights when I noticed I didn't like the blend of the light color. So I went back and added more VGC Magic Blue to brighten it up more. So now I"m going back to the edge highlights. I think they are coming out nicely, I was hoping to get them done last weekend but it was way too busy and this weekend is already looking to be just as hectic. I'm going to have some time tonight so I hope I can get a good bit done.
