5 Man Terminator Squad

What with summer happening, getting engaged and have some mini breaks, its taken a while to get these guys finished... but here they are! It was quite difficult painting these chaps (after not completing a unit for over 12 months) but I feel like it slowly came together as I progressed through the various painting stages. Next up is a Land Raider!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Comic-Con 2015 Reel

Lovely to see this kind of footage, being put together into such a great trailer. Cant wait for 18th December!!

Assassinorum: Execution Force... nice!

I think the original (2nd Edition, metal) Vindicare Assassin was the first non basic Space Marine model I picked up back during my first stint in the hobby so when i saw this board game I couldn't really resist! Combining some pretty cool Assassin models with a cooperative board game seemed to encourage my credit card to make its own way down to the GW Bath store without my knowledge! :)

I haven't built any of the models yet as I have to focus on my backlog before playing with my new toys but as soon as I do, further updates will follow!

New Man Cave!!

After moving in to a wonderful new home with my other half, I have been able to set up a pretty sweet area of manly hobbying within our home office/study/man cave (delete as appropriate!). Here are a few pics of not only an awesome desk also a display case!

One of the best things about where I now live is that we have LOADS of space. As such this is the first time since I moved out of my parents 18 years ago that I have the room to sort out a board and actually play some games (40k, X-Wing etc.). I have a plan for this and will post info when things start to happen.

Its Been A While!

So, after a fair few months out of the game due to moving house (twice!) and taking an examination I'm finally ready to get back to some hobbying!

Whilst away from having the time/space to hobby I have been keeping up to date with the glorious GW release schedule and now find myself with quite a backlog of models to keep me busy.

First up, to get me back in the groove, is a 5 man Terminator squad. I painted the armour prior to my break and have started off painting the silver bits this week. Hopefully I'll be able to get these finished in the next couple of weeks and discover that I haven't lost any of the (relative) ability I had developed.

More pics after the break.
