Warhammer sucks!!

1 04 2008

Right after a week of gaming, or some.. ok most would say losing, I’ve come to the conclusion that Warhammer is shit, my teddy has been doing its superman impression for the last week as its still in orbit I threw it that hard.

OK so it was a good week away, even though i did get my arse handed to me, It must be the Khorne tattoo’s interfering with any other army I use. So back to the Khorne Horde it it! … ohh and finishing my slayers and undead guys too. But my Lord Khorne shall have his fill of blood in August. one way or the other.

If you were wondering why I was chopping up so much wood, its all good practice!

and now all I have to do is paint up a bunch of stuff for Flames of War. roll on 18 months time, or whenever it is!





Dark Tidings

13 02 2008

Stirrings from peasants have mentioned a blight in the land, tales of children disappearing in the night. Of travelers vanishing on route from one town to another..

Tales of a Black Coach (not brilliantly painted… but still good enough)

Booga Booga, scared yet? well probably not, but Pete’s having second and third thoughts about showing his ugly mug now.

and well he should, cos I’ve got 10 Black Knights left to paint and 35 days to do it in. I might do a few extra characters too… but not sure yet.





The Story so far

5 02 2008

Right then boys, here’s my stuff so far : My Vamp Count and his Buddy. There’s 2 of those bloody Necro scum. And then some Black Knights to add a little punch, along with some Graveguard. And a few ex Marauders who decided to join my cause.

Next on the way is the return of my little friend the Black Coach…  after its good work in France, it unfortunately got smashed by some peasants. but we have the technology, and we shall rebuild it!





Paint Club

1 01 2008

Alright lads, just had a epiphany or however you spell it. I’m basically starting up a Paint Club, now its similiar to Fight Club… well only with the title, and the following rules.

1. You don’t talk about Painting.

2. You don’t talk about Painting.

3. You don’t talk about Paining.

so that should save me from you guys asking about stuff I’ve not been doing.

cheers

If anyone wants to join then let me know.





Slow like a Zombie

5 11 2007

Well guys, my painting has slowed to the pace of a zombie…. a dead undead zombie for a few months, but now the life slowly starts to creep into my paintbrush, I’ve now painted 10 more things!

Yes… you heard me right… 10! the shields were a bit tricky to clean, and glue a little symbol to the front, but I overcame the challenge, and painted them too… hopefully that will snowball into finishing the unit of Black Knights they’re now attached to by the end of this weekend.

After that, the graveguard are getting done, which is a pity as i’ve just seen the sneakpeaks of the new plastic graveguard.. and they are sooooo nice. Pity they’re not released until March. But then i’ll have 3 units of Graveguard to go with my 3 units of Black Knights.

cant wait to see the Knights of the Blood Keep…. I’m sure they’ll be more than willing to join the Black Keep





The Black Keep Marches

15 09 2007

Eventually, From the depths of my Paint Box, My Undead Host marches out to face my enemies and friends alike.

Lets begin with my Blood Dragon Vampire “General”, BD2. The other Blood Dragon Hero, BD3.

Unfortunately I have to have the stupid Necromancers, Mounted and on foot

Then come the Black Knights, BK2, and the second unit BK3 and BK4, The third unit is under construction, but will be riding from the Keep soon enough.

I also painted a Spirit Host for the army BOO!

I’ve also got 25 Skellies knocking around somewhere.

That all I’ve painted so far, with most of the other parts of my army assembled and undercoated.

These consist of 40 graveguard, a Black Coach, a Banshee, a Blood Dragon on foot, a Wight Lord on foot, a mounted Wight Lord, and a mounted Wraith.

Then I’ll be looking to replace the Dire wolves i already have with some tasty chaos hound models I saw on some sight.

I know we’re suposed to be painting according to points per month and all that, but i’m past that stage now. Kahuna should be happy now I’ve eventually posted the pics, even with me using my phone cam.

Maybe one day he’ll eventually pass his Bike test and get a Bike.





Its Alive, Alive!!!

15 09 2007

Well, after months of waiting, i’m back online… so without being online, and playing xbox and things I’ve nearly finished my army. Or would have, If I hadnt been busy with American Football and Riding my Motorbikes.. and watching tv… drinking a few beers….well you get the general idea…. however i’ll try and put a few pics on to let everyone see what i’ve done…





The Undead Rise Once Again

30 06 2007

I’ve eventually got a temp connection again, soon to have my BB back.. to be honest I havent done that much recently.. I’ve nearly finished 2 units of Black Knights.. I’ve painted my Vampire Lord, 2 Necromancers *spit* one mounted on on foot. and 4 units of spirit hosts.. i’ll post some pics when I can. But dont expect too much, I dont paint very well, or play very well… but then again, I do have a few other things to keep me occupied… I’ll not mention riding bikes as we’re still waiting for Kahuna to pass his test …. damn.. did I say that aloud? soon I’ll have finished my other unit of black knights.. A Wight lord, and a Wraith, all nicely mounted.  then i’ll look about painting some new Dire Wolves… have a few old ones I did… but saw some sweeeeeet models on another site.. and they call to me in my dreams…. Conrad… read your last thread, as i’m going to make your face look like an ugly tin of tomatoes on a plate….





The Death Bell tolls

12 03 2007

This is where I tell you about all the painting I’ve done… I did in fairness, paint most of a Blood Dragon and in Three months that’s pretty good going. (I got confused.. He wasn’t even carrying an Axe!)  but my figures and army got lost in transit. along with my dwarfs… Khorne army, flames of war, samurai…. Hell most of my figures. And a lot of other stuff too. So I’m in the process of writting out one hell of an insurance claim. In 2 weeks I lose my internet connection, as I’m moving again… but on the bright side, no Xbox live…. *sniff*…and that means I might actually get round to painting the few figures I have, and then getting ones to replace those lost… Watch this space… But not too closely… I’ll catch up eventually.





Undeath continued

13 12 2006

ohh yes, i forgot about the price thing, I bought the figures a while ago, so i’ll paint according to the current outragously priced price list.

The necromancer - £4

The Blood Dragon - (£10 for 2 figures)                                      (£14 running total)

8 Black knights from the converted Empire Knights – £18    (£32 running total)

10 Dire Wolves – £30, however 10 goblin wolf riders are £18 get rid of the useless greenskins, and you have 10 little Wolves for nearly half the price.          (£50 running total)

Although I have an extra little Blood Dragon Running around, I’m sure he’ll come in usefull later on in the Campaign.. maybe in the front rank of a unit of Grave Guard

ohh yes, the extra points which I previously mentioned, will be going to a few extra Black Knights..

Now all I have to wait for is the arrival of my boxes. And of course to get my 360 head off, and my painting head on.
