Busy busy busy

So it has been some time since I put a post up on my blog.  Thus making it not the best blog on the planet!  In fact, it is most likely closer to the worst to be honest.  Moving past that, here is what I have been up to. 

I became an "official" host for 40k radio, which has been fun, but takes about 4 hours to record, so there went 8 hours a month of hobby.  Not to mention that it is about a 30-45 minutes each way in drive time.  I will say it has been fun getting to know Kyle, Romeo, and Chad.  From the show Chad and I started working on a personal hobby challenge that I am beginning to think is too much!!!  All 18 Primarchs, from scratch!!!  Funny how projects sound so damn fun when you are sharing hobby talk over a beer.  We are now over half way through them and our hobby souls have been devoured. 

For those that want to know here is the process.  Chad, being the super creative guy he is, starts working on a guy.  He will shoot me some WIP pics, which I give my meager 2 cents on.  He does what he will with them and whalla, I get one delivered in all it's green stuff glory.  Once in my hands I take them apart, go back in and clean up any rough spots that need a fresh eye.  Lets face it, 10-20 hours of staring at the same guy makes you want to get him off of your desk!  I put fresh eyes on it and get it ready cast.  That is it.  Who would have thought my asking for a Russ would turn into this. 

Anyway, that and a little infinity has been using up all my hobby time for the last couple months.  Between that, work, and my loving family, all 112 hours a week of awake time is spoken for.  This weekend was great as I did get to take my wonderful daughter to see The Avengers.  Nothing like a 3 1/2 year old screaming "Get him HULK!!!"  It just plumb makes a daddy proud and manages to get my inner geek all pumped up.  Sorry for not putting more up, but life is life!

A game with the Chiller

Well,

Had a chance to get a game of 40k in against Chad this weekend. He s looking for some tips on how to play Eldar so I made a 1500 point list using models that Chad has in his collection. My list consisted of the following:

Eldrad
3 War Walkers (all scatter lasers)
2 squads of Dire avengers 1 w/ wave serpent
5 fire dragons in a Falcon
7 Warp Spiders
7 Harlequins w/ Shadow seer & Troupe master

I think that about covers it. We rolled up annihilation and standard deployment, so it was the most basic game of 40k ever. Basically kill as much as possible and then run like a pansy. In the end I had 5 kill points and he had 1. I have never fielded Eldrad when I lived in CA, but ahve 2 times since being here, and damn, he rocks. I think I may be inclined to run 2 farseers at 1850. Anyway, here are a few pics.

Raven Guard

So just spent a couple days with a friend in CA and had the chance to get a model painted. Kudos to FW for another great model, if not a little overpriced. Let me know what you think.

Games

Hey there, here are a couple pics of my latest game. Played against Chiller at 1k points. It was a close fought battle with the game coming down right to the wire with the Iron Warriors needing to make a break test in order to pull the draw. In the end the might of the Space Wolves was just to much and the sole survivor turned and fled! Comment if you like.

Grey Knights

Well, it has taken a lot of time but I finally have acquired enough of the OOP Grey Knight terminator weapons to take a run at a Grey Knight army that doesn't have the wrist mounted storm bolters, at least on the power armored guys.  I plan on keeping them for the terminators.  I will post a few pics showing where I am on the project.  I also have a Dread Knight modeled, video is on YouTube.  Comments are always welcome.

New project

Hey folks, been a while since I posted, but I am looking for some OOP grey knight termie weapons for a project. Hit me up if you have some!
