Call to Arms 2024 ..... further progres

We are now into August, with the deadline for the challenge only just over a month away, but I think I'm well on top of it which is just as well as I have a few busy weeks and a short Holiday looming. So as you can see below, I have finished the Tau themselves and moved onto their Kroot allies:     I squad of Tau Pathfinders and 3 drones (13pts)     Flesh Shaper, Trail shaper, War Shaper and BSF tracker (16pts)     Kroot Lonespear (5

Call to arms- I month gone

I month down  and 2 more to go. Still managed to get a fair bit done in the last 2 weeks:     I finished both tidewall components, a Cadre Fireblade and a squad of breachers, as well as their drone turret and a recon drone for the upcoming Pathfinders, which is when I realised that I hadn't allowed for drones in my original pledge! Not sure if the drone port drones should count for seperate points, but at least iwth these other two that takes my target total up to 120pts. Th

Call to arms- 2 weeks in

I mentioned in my last blog post that I was intending to participate in this years call to arms, well I've gone and done it! The extent of my pledge can be seen here: Call to arms 2024 - Drakheart   Whether I have bitten off more than I can chew remains to be seen, but after just over 2 weeks work, I think I'm making reasonable progress, just not sure if I'll be able to keep it up.     Anyway here's what I've managed to achieve so far:     I started

Tau expansion.

I've spent a fair bit of time hobbying recently and made some relatively good progress, the main idea was to try and clear the decks ready for the big expansion of my tau army following the release of the new codex and models. I spent most of the previous 2 weeks building , basing and priming the models with the aim of having these ready for the Call to Arms 2024 event on here and as you can see from the image below, I'm pretty much ready to go.      Ready to paint are:

Even more updates.

For once it has not been months since the last update. I have had a fairly productive week and actually managed to clear several of the partly painted models off of my desk:     The scouts from the Killteam salvation box are now done, as is my Gladiator lancer, but forgot to photograph that.     This grey knights Librarian, is a kit bash based on the terminator librarian from the leviathan boxed set, actually finished it a couple of weeks ago, but just r

.....Ever Onwards

I've been a bit lax in keeping up with updates lately , so this one will be a bit of a catch-up.    Recently finished are my two squads of striking scorpions from the Kill Team: Salvation box set:     I have also made a fair bit of progress on the other half of the box set, the scouts, along with a gladiator lancer, my kit-bashed Phobos Librarian and a 3d printed Eradicator with multi-melta as this was not an option for the easy build squad I have. I have got most

First update of the year.... progress continues.

As the title says this is my first update for the new year as I finally managed to get a couple of squads finished of whilst watching the six nations rugby this weekend.   Assault squad - with custom bases made from 3d printed bits of ruins:     Infernus squad - The final miniatures from my Leviathan box set to be painted:     These should of been the final mianture to paint up for my Homebrew maine chapter, but as always I couldn't stop myself

New Year - Taking Stock.

Happy New Year folks!   Finally had time to sit down and write a blog post, so thought it would be an ideal point to look back on the previous year and forward to 2024 in terms of my hobby time:   2023 was a fairly good year in terms of productivity with painting, etc, but a bit sparse in terms of actual gaming. Last year I managed to paint 5 different kill teams with a 6th half finished, but managed to play zero games. I continued to expand my home brew Primaris chapter -The

Kill Team project......

I'm about to start a new job and have had a couple of weeks off since leaving the last one. The idea was to use some of the time painting to clear a bit of my backlog, but as with most of my hobby projects, I thought of something new to do and immeadiatly got sidetracked by that idea. The big idea was simply this, to build and paint a number of kill teams, enough to have a slection so I could invite some friends round for a short kill team campaign and have teams ready to go without all the hass

Further progress.....

Not sure progress is the right word as a nice shiny box full of goodies arrived, adding much more to my pile of shame: So I got stuck in and assemebled an undercoated the Kroot, even made a custom Pech token using a eagle from the bits box. Not sure I'm going to keep the Imperial Navy team, so left them on the sprue. Clipped and assembled all the terrain in the box, very impressed with the kit , highly detailed, but also means it's going to take longer to paint. Now only got find time
