January Progress

 

In trying to keep my new years resolution of posting on my blog more regularly, here's the first update for the year:

First up we have the models I need to clear off my desk before the Aeldari deluge begins - The company heroes i got for Christmas along with a squad of incursors and another of Infiltrators, left over from buying a few too many models to create my Phobos kill team.

Next we have my Xmas present to myself, a full size mark X helmet, that i got as 3d printed parts on Etsy to build and paint. Shown worn by my wife.

 

Incoming

 

Looks like there is going to be a lot of space elves in my near future, I've preordered all the new Aeldari models as well as the codex, cards and the reboxed war walkers, all of which should hopefully arrive at the weekend. I also took out a subscription to Combat patrol from issue 19 to hopefully pick up the Aeldari and chaos issues, the first batch of which arrived last week. As well as the Chaplain on bike and the farseer I was expecting they also sent me Cheif librarian Tigurius, all of which got a the kitbashing treatment, the farseer and chaplain to distiguish them from the existing models I have and tiggy to remove any trace of the ultrasmurfs on him so he could be repurposed as a librarian for my own chapter.

OK, back me up: the Company Champion in the Heroes box is short, right? It's not just the spread-leg pose, they made him short. 

 

Anyway, looking great. Pumped to see that Bike Chaplain coming together!

Dude, now following your blog - I think your green marines might actually be my favourite marines anywhere on this site. I’ve tagged your pics before in my own threads as examples and the primaris tanks in particular (which I’m not keen on as models generally) you’ve made to actually look badass in your scheme.

 

How come they sent you Tiggy with your CP sub? That’s a nice surprise that’s not on the list of contents anywhere…
 

Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!

Thanks for the kind comments.

 

Not sure I noticed the company champion being that short, but you made me look at him again and realise I hadn't finished painting his power sword.

 

The inclusion of Tiggy was surprise especially as it came with a letter telling me they had charged me £9,99 for him without any warning! Good job I could see a use for him. Apparently he is one of the subscriber bonuses they don't tell you about, I had to make sure I contacted them to opt out of the binders otherwise I would of been sent and charged for them as well.

Ooh that is sneaky … I’ve been considering subbing for the Eldar but I don’t like the idea of being ninja charged for extra stuff
