Wow I'm terrible at this!

So, I seem to be dreadful at keeping up with posts, but I'm going to try to start blogging my modelling work again. Model painting that is, not lookin sexy, I'm only qualified for one of those two things. So I've definitely done a tonne of painting since... August? Oh dear. Unfortunately I don't have good photos of any of it handy, or really any photos of most of it.

Sorry D. cellphone photos are going to be forthcoming once more!

So I mostly finished an Orc Big Boss that one of my friends gave me a few years ago, he is not likely to get any more done than this. The blood on his axe was my first try at using the new Citadel effect paint Blood for the Blood God. Next time I'll read the tutorial BEFORE I try to use the new paint. Blah. Still, I LOVE the way his skin tone, and especially his face, came out.

Next up is a built, but not painted, Legion Praetor from Forgeworld's Horus Heresy lineup. This guy is goddamned beautiful as he comes, but I hate his Volkite weapon. So instead I gave him a Combi Plasma and a Power Axe from the Tartaros Terminator Weapons set, and Severin Loth's Honour Guard respectively. He's been primed since, but I don't have a photo. I'm also not especially sure which of the Legiones Astartes he will eventually belong to. Anyway this photo is awful, but here it is.

Lastly I spent some time playing Battletech: Alpha Strike lately. I think it is a fabulous way to play Battletech, allowing people with ridiculous schedules (like me!) to manage more than one game per night/week/year. So, without further ado!

Space Wolves in Tan (Played by Myself) v.s. Diamond Sharks in Blue (Played by my friend MattPrime) (Models and Terrain graciously provided by a Viking comrade of mine who goes by the handle Vinlander!) I got spanked, but we also didn't quite get the rules! :D

Then Vinlander broke out his Golden Century Space Wolves and kicked my similarly themed Nova Cats right in the teeth, taking most of my star as bondsmen in the process. Vengeance will be ours!

My Griffin IIC from the point of view of the Wolve's Lupus:

Having survived their ministrations he proceeds to attempt to destroy the weak rear armour of the Wolf Corvus:

Meanwhile, Mechwarrior Bryce manoeuvres his Coyotl A to provide support against the nearby Lupus.

 Star Commander Huron engages a Wolf piloting an identical Shadowhawk IIC and they destroy each other simultaneously.

Having faced a bitter defeat in battle to the wolves, my star (having recruited fresh warriors from the Nova Cat sibkos) my warriors then engaged a force of Blood Spirit garrison warriors, in an effort to blood them. Fortunately this battle wen't more to plan.

Whelp, thats everything I've done lately!
