I was thinking a month ago that I haven't painted a proper sized Knight in over a year and got a hankering to try out one of the new Destriers because they have some pretty useful abilities for 11th ed (Ignores Cover + Towering, good movement, etc...). So I got one and have now built it up, including keeping the hatch on top open. Normally I wouldn't, but my FLGS is doing a painting competition at the end of the month and one the two categories is Big Guy: a model with a base of 50mm or larger. In general I'm not really good at painting comps, my style is definitely more suited for speed painting challenges as that is how I tend to paint, but since this lad will be for a comp I decided to challenge myself and actually paint the Scion inside. This is also sort of a speed challenge, as I have to paint the Destrier and my current in-progress work (Azrael, Belial count-as, 12 ICC) by the 28th because I think I might use Azrael and 3 of the ICC for the second category of Leader and Followers (minimum 3 followers for a 4 model minimum unit). We'll see, I might use some of the Sanctifiers I've painted recently instead. Anyway, that's all for the actual modeling/painting I have going on, but I have decided to get some Ironhead Squats to use as Cthonian Beserks for my Gnostari Dominion Ironkin army. They'll probably be ordered next month, as right now the old hobby desk is pretty full with my current 40k projects and all of the Battletech stuff I have. Alright, thanks for looking!

Oh, the blog name is a play on the CtA event's additional vow name, Job's a Big'Un- the Destrier isn't quite big enough to make it to a Big'Un for points, 7 versus the required 10, but I still gladly vowed it as my final Imperium pledge.
