Where to next...

Now you start to come to the end of one project and already being thinking of what is next. Now I am guessing most gamers are the same in that there is either something always on the back burner or under contemplation. In finishing my 1250 points of Crimson Fist I have multiple paths I can now travel.

* Make up 1250 points of Space Wolfs
* Paint up the miniatures out of Space Hulk
* Finish my Tyrainds which I am guessing I can make at least up to 2500 points in what I have now.
* Rework my Crimson Fist to 1500, 1750 and 2000 points
* Get back to work on my Company of Legion of the Damn of old Metal models.

And the thoughts continue of what could be. Logically since I have challenged two friends to a version of a tail of 3 gamers I will be from October for about 8 months building a 1250 point unmarked Chaos Marine Army for MOAB next year.

Now for anyone that doesn’t know about the ‘a tail of (how many) gamers’ it’s a challenge of starting with the purchase of a Battle Force box set and you have set goals to achieve a progression of your army. In our case we will have a two month block for goal completion instead of a monthly one due to the current Necromunda campaign we are working out and testing at this time.

Now thinking of painting up a Chaos Army, a Space Wolf one and at the same time the figures in Space Hulk maybe a little much for me to complete even in a few months. The only time I really have to paint is 40 minutes to 1 hour before I start work Monday to Friday and if I am lucky a few hours either Friday or Saturday night maybe twice a month. I am still amazed I guess not only the time it took me to work on my Crimson Fist put that had enough time to complete what I needed.

At this time I will start the Chaos Army in October and maybe paint a figure or two a moth of my Space Hulk Figures to break up the retinue.

As always let’s see how I go!

Nearing the End?

After so long at work on my Crimson Fist I find I finally feel like I am starting to get near the end of their completion or at least the 1250 points work I am going to be taking to MOAB. Apart from the decals my Devastators are complete as well as my Librarian and one of my Tactical Squads. My Razorback only needs some touch ups and a little black ink and my second tactical squad is a little detailing and then like my razorback added to the decal pile.

This leaves finishing up my captain which I am still unsure on how to paint his relic blade. I am seriously considering leaving the blade black and giving it a coat of gloss vanish. But on the whole his is finished other than the blade and a little detailing.

This leaves only my predator which only the hull has been put together that has to be at least fully together and undercoated by this weekend since I am playing some practice games with the army on the 27th of August.

Going to see about grabbing a few pictures of at least one of the practice games and try writing up a battle report as although I am not a literary person you have to start somewhere.

Let’s see how I go!

Dreadnaught One

Well I have almost completed the first of two Dreadnaughts this one as you can see have the misile launcher and the twin linked autocannon. I am hoping it works as my light armour popper and heavy infantry killer. At some point I would like to get a left side twin linked autocannon to replace the missile launcher for a little fun.

AoBR Captain

Well I talked about him in one of last months post and here his is around 85 to 90% complete. My Crimson Fist Captain I have sent a little time on although I am still not happy with his relic blade which I will repaint in time if I can find a look I like.

His Base is cork like the rest of my Crimson Fist with the difference that instead of using a cork place mat I used a cork from a bottle to get a little extra hieght out of him. Now I know that line of sight is a big thing in 5th Ed of 40k but you just cant pass what looks cool..

although he is table playable he isnt there for me yet. In fact I find i like the figure so much I am going to see if I can pick another one or two up at the second hand goods at MOAB this year to paint it up in different chapter colours.

Lets see how I go!

Crimson Fist Librarian

A man of many parts is my Crimson Fist Librarian. He was made with the following parts

- Space Marine Legs
- Black Templar Torso
- Dark Angel Head
- Veteran Marine Left Arm
- Brother Captain Stern's Right Arm
- Cyphers Back Pack
- Terminator Honour's Badge

He is still unfinished but for my own self goals I am working :)

I have some more to post of semi completed figures of my Crimson Fist.

Lets see how I go!
