I'm sure I did a post about these already....

Seems as though I've not been doing anything for the last three months but that simply isn't true...three months, three minis. I admit, current pace is not what I would desire but life is demanding and painting minis is not the only thing I do in the world!

Check out the marines section for the latest updates - 2 veterans. I quite like the paint jobs but not so happy with the banners. May have to re-do them at some point but they will do for now.

I also thought a bit of a change as although I do want to complete the marines force, painting one black armoured marine after another can get somewhat tiresome so I tried my hand at the ork warboss from the AOBR boxed set. Not a bad first effort, one more to add to the portfolio....

Captain completed

Well, time is getting the better of me with a new job and a new member of the family arriving but I finally got around to some painting this month and managed to get the captain completed after months of only have his face done.

That now completes the HQ section for the moment, nice.

Dragon Claws...

After finally deciding how to put my 'piece de la resistance' together I ordered the tyranid parts needed for the spikey elbow bits. A little bit of modelling putty and super glue, a black undercoat, some silver bits and they already look pretty effective. A completed base with grass and rocks makes them ready for the table, should I wish to get them out before they're totally painted.

More vehicles...

Still not getting around to finish the tactical squad so worked on the dreadnought this month. Base is made from cork board and some model railway gravel stuff, turned out quite well in the end.

Also received a little parcel in the post with some tyranid bits in it, should be able to start on the Dragon Claws assualt squad fairly soon.

Bombardment

The tactical squad is taking a little longer than expected, plus it was boring me to hell doing all the same details over and again, so I started on something a little more interesting last month - the Whirlwind that should take out a few xenos before my troops arrive to clean up.

Check it out in the Vehicles section.

First squad ready

Finally got around to completing off the command squad. Took me a little while to muster up the energy to finish off the champion and the other veteran but it's done now and I'm already half way through a tactical squad.

Take a look at the miniatures page for pictures.

Apothecary completed

I found this model (Games Day '98 Apothecary) on ebay uk. After a month of waiting, it finally arrived. Painted over a long weekend and added to the collection.

The other two veterans in the command squad are half completed so next post I will post up the pictures.
