Happy New Year!

Well its my first post for the new year (well this was going to be posted a few days after new years, but I started procrastinating and one thing leads to another, so now I’ve posted it almost a month later...) I don’t usually make a new year resolution, but since everyone else is doing it I might as well. I’ve been reading over my blog and it seems a bit boring, so for my new years resolution I will try to include less army lists and pictures of unpainted models but more fluff (stories) and pictures of painted models!
So to start it off I will show you pictures of my harpies and a test shade

Harpy Unit 1 !
Harpy Unit 2
Back of Harpy Unit
Single Harpy

(Note that these harpies ARE only 15mm high up to their eyes)

Now for my test  Great Weapon Shade made out of Mengil Manhides Manflayers
 
I only have to do 5 more of these before the unit is done!
I also got a warriors box for Christmas, So this means that I only have 2 more boxes left before I have everything for my Dark elf army. I also got a compartments box to keep all  my bitz in.

Its Been a While…

 

Well, like I said in my title, its been a while since I’ve last posted on this blog, perhaps about a year. So I had quite a bit done just after  I finished posting, infact I’d finished my 500 point army. But like always I always get distracted after a good painting spree and so I stopped painting. Fortunately I have started painting again, so I finally got my chariot completed. I have pictures of the chariot as well as an army-wide shot. Note that I am using a new blog program so I don’t know how the pictures will turn out.

I plan to finish painting my 1000pt army and purchase my 2000pt army by the end of January 2010. I now have a second unit of Dark Riders ready to put together.

Progress report

Well, I haven't posted on this Blog in a while, practically forgot about it...

Anyway I haven't been very busy but I suppose I should tell you what's happened.

Anyway, I have finally got my first reaper bolt thrower, which brings my army up to 1000pts (party anyone?) I have also painted five crossbowmen, almost finished five shades and half painted five crossbowman. Ill update my painting log accordingly.

Hmmmmm, now that I've got everything fro my 1000pt army I'll have to start a new 'What to Get List'. Oh well, I'll do that later.

Looking back at this post it looks rather short and rushed...

Well, seeya

Kasumi

The (Chaos) Dwarf Tavern

Well, it finally happened, my brother has been corrupted by chaos and has gone over to chaos dwarfs. He has been the chaos dwarf list on the games-workshop website and is using the Battle for Skull Pass Dwarves for chaos dwarves and the night goblins for hobgoblins.

I painted up a sample warrior with great weapon (converted from a miner) to see what the paint scheme would look like.

And yes, that is a Dark Elf shield icon on his face.

New Pictures

Well after a looong loooong time of not painting anything I have finally painted 25 men (15 spearmen and 10 corsairs). I have not given them their sheilds yet, nor have I based them as I will be doing that once I have finished 500pts (10 repeater crossbowman, 5 shades and a master to go!) (along with magnetising their bases so they don't fall off their movement trays).

Well, here come the pictures!

My 500pts Master

My Blackspine mountains sheild

My spearmen unit

and my corsair unit

Well I hope youenjoyed the pictures!(sorry about the bad lighting)

The two most noticeable changes in this list are that I have taken out the magic and replaced it with a Hydra and a scroll caddy, I have also taken out a unit of spearman and a chariot and replaced it with Black Guard. I have also made some other changes like giving Kasumi the executioners axe, making him deadly against characters.

The models I have so far

I was looking at my army one day and I suddenly realised that I actually had a pretty reasonable army. I added it up and found that I could actually field about 2000pts!

The list that I made wasn't a very good one and I wouldn't use it in a competitive game, but it was viable! I have also included some pictures of it to give you an Idea of what it looks like.

Some models have been 'blue tacked' because I haven't made them yet but it gives you an Idea of what it will look like. I will probably assemble them properly when I am ready to paint them.




Here is the list of the models that I can field.

Lords
Dreadlord
With Executioners Axe, Blood Armour, Sea Dragon Cloak, a pair of Repeater Handbows and Shield
=260

As you can see I am just off 2000 points. I think if I squeezed a bit more out of it I could get it up there. Anyway, while I am at it I mise(is that how it's spelt?) as well post a picture of my Brother's Dwarf army, it consists of two Battle for Skull Passes, minus a few models.
