Talk about funny. Today I got my Forge World delivery and here's a picture of the Land Raider doors I got for myself.I'm gonna have to call Forge World and ask them to send me the right piece, and the Iron Warriors Dreadnought that I ordered arrived without it's base. Hopefully they'll get the missing stuffs to me ASAP.Also, I've been on the painting spree lately. The Dreadnought was pretty much

I'm back at my home town for the holidays which means I won't be able to get much done. But I've brought back 11 Chaos Space Marines and a Chaos Vindicator to work on.Before I left my apartment, I took some pictures that are blog worthy. These are what I've been working on recently.A magnetized Iron Warriors Dreadnought. I even did a little extra and magnetized the head so it's rotatable.As you

I only found the title fitting since I haven't posted a single thing for almost 2 years! To put a little timeline to this, I'll just summarize my years.2010:I just had to put Dead Space 2 as the comeback picture for my blog post as I've finished playing the game over and over. It's really good. Apart from that, I went out with some friends and played lots of Left 4 Dead 2. Currently I'm into

Well, it's been a long time. I've been busy as usual. I never fail to get busy with the shop everyday. But at least I've been painting quite furiously the past few days. Apart from commission works, I've been working on the Chaos Renegades Militia. Let's let the pictures do the talking.I've started to repaint the one on the left to be like the one on the right.I'll post up more as I get more done

I'm just taking a few days off the hobby table just so I can get the business sorted out. Not to mention, I've begun to get really busy with all the stock management, pricing and the likes. (I shouldn't forget, I have to deal with Anthropology this semester.)I just put this guy on the base just for fun, he looks real funny. Obviously I'm didn't glue him to the base or I will definitely be posing

For the past few weeks I've been very busy as usual, but nothing is gonna stop me from painting! After I got saturated with my commission work, I've decided to take a break from painting rank and file models to painting terrain.Looking at the fact that Hobby Forge do need more terrain for the 4 gaming tables, there's no doubt that I've got to buck up on painting more terrain.I hereby present you,

Not bad, I've been so busy that I've forgotten to update my blog. Haha. But at least I'm still posting interesting stuff for you guys to see.Recently I've been assembling and converting the Imperial Guard Valkyries to the Chaos Renegade Militia Vendettas. And I can say, it's a lot of fun. Adding spikes sure makes it look more Chaos!I used my razor saw to carefully remove the gas tanks from these

I've been so busy that I've neglected my blog lately. Real sorry about that. I might be a little more free once I get the shop to be less dependant on me, but it's very obvious it's not possible.Anyways, I'm currently working on adding the spikes and preparing the crew for the Vendetta. This model is quite challenging to assemble and I can easily say that it's the biggest miniature I own.I

If you're in Malaysia, do check this out. As the owner of one of the local game stores here in Malaysia, I'm running the Grand Opening Event.After considering all the factors of when we can have the Grand Opening this month, apparently the 22nd of May which is a Saturday is the best time. Not to mention, the stocks are still in transit due to the backlog from the Icelandic volcano ash cloud

I've been really busy for the past few weeks! I've got commission work to do, luckily one of my clients dropped a full army project or I don't think I will have time to even blog.These are the Daemonettes for his Chaos Daemons army. I'm making it a dual 40k and Fantasy army. Obviously they are not done yet.I'm also working on my Chaos Renegade Militia. Finally got some tanks up.I've also started

Guys, it must be possessed by you before you can use this book.Just spent a lot of time working on many different projects, taking a break while looking through the Imperial Guard Codex. I'll be updating soon on my progress of the Chaos Renegade Militia and the tank that I'm working on...

I've spent lots of time tinkering with this list over and over and over again. I suppose it's now time to ask the readers (you guys) what do you think of this 2,000 point list. I've got some friends who are well into Imperial Guard Tactics to teach meI've got no interest to spam 100+ men especially when I'm dealing with Forge World upgrades. So I'm keeping it to a really powerful mech

I spend a few hours doing converting this sentinel. I wasn't happy with the driver, so I sawed the body off and replaced with the militia part from Forge World. I haven't glued most of the parts yet for painting purposes.I'm really happy with the model, especially the base.Won't be painting this any time soon as I'm awaiting for my paints to arrive...

I've always been wanting to start a Fantasy army since 2008. After knowing that there aren't many Fantasy players, I've put the idea on hold. Last year, I started to hype up some of my friends to start some Fantasy armies. It worked. So I chose the Dark Elves.I've painted 20 Warriors, 19 Corsairs (pictures later) and Lokhir Fellheart in like 20 days. That's quite some speed. But looking at the

Hi guys, I've been seriously busy for the past few weeks, mainly because I've been painting my Fantasy army and I was also getting things done for the shop.The shop is called Hobby Forge Enterprise. I'm still doing my best to let the shop grow and bring in more stock for the shop. Not to mention, get the other hidden things done.I will take better pictures this weekend. Currently I'm opening the

I will post pictures of them up soon when the secret army is out.For now, I'll just show what other army I'm working on at the same time.

I was quite busy for the past few days as I've got lots of work coming up. Also, I'm preparing my first Fantasy army for the next Legio Fantasy Campaign.Anyway, held on the 6th of March was Kindred, organized by our very own legionnaires Khairul and Arzmi.More pictures can be found in these links.From Jeff.From Iqbal.From Shaz.From Marvin.Some of them are here.This is the turn counter I made for

I'm sure many of you are eager to take a look inside this box here. Since the Warhammer basing kit was released, I was quite excited as I know that GW can really make great basing kits since the Warhammer 40,000 basing kit.Well, as you can see here, there are 5 little containers that hold the slates and resin base.I poured all the medium and large basing slate into another container just to give

Hurrah! I've just gotten the pictures from the Iron Painter event in Legio, and I must say, these are only the first part to it. Pictures are from Iqbal who was also painting while taking pictures.Here I began painting my Orks with the first layer of colour. Luckily I brought my laptop fan to speed up the drying process.

With the Iron Painter being this Saturday, I'm so excited about it. My Orky boyz here are prepared and ready to be painted.The list consists of:A warboss with a kombi scorcha, cybork body, eavy armour and an attack squig.Another warboss with a kombi scorcha, cybork body, eavy armour and an attack squig and a power klaw with a boss pole.5 Ork Nobz with 3 power klaws, eavy armours and some boss

Image found in Google Images.Since the beginning of my blog, I have been posting a lot on the painting part. I guess it's time to work on some tactics. So I will begin writing up on a series of gaming tactics following the Ork codex while doing my best to explain how to use each entry. Today, I'll just be speaking in general of how to play the Orks and defeat the Orks.Whenever I look at any codex

Well well well. I seem to start of most of my blog posts with the word well...Anyway, I'm sure as a gamer, you've been there, done that, when it comes to the situation when you know you want to start a new army.I feel that there are a few good obvious reasons why we all start or want to start new armies. So let's take a look:1) Hands are itching to paint something new.I really understand when a

I got this from Master Darksol. Really love his artwork!Meanwhile, being stuck at my home town is really unproductive. I've got nothing to paint here. Oh well, just a short holiday for me. I'll be back to my hostel and prepping up more miniatures next week.

It took me quite some time just to finish black lining this entire Wave Serpent. And I'm telling you, it's not easy. Imagine the mess you get when the paint smears around the white.As you can see from the picture. I airbrushed the GW Gloss Varnish on to make the entire surface of the Wave Serpent extra smooth and glossy. This helps a lot, because the paint is less likely to get smeared with the

I haven't got the Tyranid codex yet, so I don't know much about it.But from what I can see, it's quite scary.Kudos to the guy who made this.I saw this over at Pink Tyrands anyway. His Tyranids are very nicely done, I like how the colours are done. Pink and grey, very good combination...

Man, took me 3 days just to assemble and paint 4 lootas. Well, most of my time was allocated to painting, just that I got distracted by watching movies and I have other projects going on as well.Seeing how I need to maintain the checks and flames, I made sure I free handed a least a little bit on the lootas.I love putting random colours on my Orks. Just to show that they don't have uniforms or

Dude. I haven't listened to 40k Radio for a long long time... Anyone knows why I can't download their MP3's anymore?I don't know whether I missed something about them saying that we can't download the MP3's anymore, but I really loved the fact that we could download their shows.There was one point of time that I didn't have internet connection, so I couldn't download any of their shows at all.

Man, these guys are tough to paint! Not only does it takes a lot of time to fit and assemble them, it also takes time to paint them since they have so much details!Still, I enjoyed painting them though. Now I have like 11 more Lootas to go...I did my best to keep with the army's main theme of green flames and green checks. I only played with Rotting Flesh, Camo Green and Catachan Green when

Woo hoo! Finished painting the crew in about 2 to 3 hours. That was maddening! Some of the paints on them are still fresh and wet!I really love this Ork Trukk, I think I should start making the vehicles of my Orks look more weathered like this. Also, I must start converting them or they will look so typical and repetitive.Hope you guys enjoy looking! Happy painting to you too and thanks for

On Saturday, I've got to go buy a new airbrush since my previous one was damaged from the fall it took while I was cleaning it.Thanks to Khairul who organized a short trip for Iqbal and I to go take a look at the place where Khairul himself got his airbrush a long time ago. He also taught us what to look for and what to avoid when looking for an airbrush. So if you want to know more about an

On Fridays, Legio Malaysia has hobby nights as usual. Just that this is one of the times that we had lots of fun and I got 2 free stuff!This one here is a miniature that I've been itching to buy a long time ago. The Lich Lord Asphyxious from Warmachine. Just because it looks cool, no other reason. Arzmi gave this to me when I gave him 25 Ork Boyz as a gift because his wife recently gave birth to

Well, for the first post of the new year, I decided to put another product review. I should show this in more detail, so I will do a continuation when possible.I've bought this Mr. Cement from Mr. Hobby's hobby range. As we know, the famous Gundam plastic kits came from Japan, so we should also know that they have their own hobby products made from Japan that are really good.I bought this for

Well, following what Khairul said. It's kinda funny when you suddenly churn out an army out of nowhere. In any case, I'm currently working on 5 different armies now. And most of you know that I really want to build my Eldar. My Alpha Legion is still not completed. My Orks need more boyz! And the other 2, I will leave it up to your imagination.Either way, I'm back in my home town now, so I won't

Hi, even though I've been painting for some time, this Wave Serpent here really is difficult to paint. I'm still looking for a proper base for the Wave Serpent and I'm thinking of using the Valkyrie's base and saw a part of the stem off.Nevertheless, here are some pictures. These are not done yet though.Did some blending to the engines.It's supposed to go from dark blue to light blue to light

Can you believe it, I have so much Eldar and most of them aren't even painted. I have to buy more. :DBy the way, I'm actually not done with the pilot yet, I'll still spend more time adding more colours to him.I'm also gonna be working on glowing engines. I feel that it's best for me to keep painting this Wave Serpent to the best I can, even if I do, I will make the later Eldar vehicles that I

Well, I've always wanted to paint and play Eldar since the time I started Warhammer 40,000. Just that I've never known how to paint Eldar properly. So after 1 and a half years of planning, testing and thinking, I've come to start painting white Eldar!The Eldar Wave Serpent is my first test painting on an Eldar Vehicle. And I must say, this is a very difficult task!Anyways, here are some pictures

I've been painting, yup. Did lots and lots to this Rhino. Though I still have lots in line, I think I should finish up this Rhino first.After this, I will start on probably my Chaos Terminators, or the Plasma Havocs.I didn't like how the right side, turned out. Never mind that, I'll rectify it.Used some Scorched Brown to weather the vehicle a little.I love using Boltgun Metal for the highlights,

Well, this will be a major hobby update. For the past few days I've been assembling and assembling non-stop. And up till today, I've managed to start painting on the stuff I've been assembling.Why I said "Never put your drink near the painting cup"? Because, when your body is accustomed to the position of your painting cup, your hand will automatically dip the brush into the water and the

I should have posted this a few days back, but I was quite busy and went out of town awhile.I was preparing for the Legio's Iron Painter event. Assembling and assembling more Orks! I'll be bringing more Ork Boyz for the Iron Painter and I will most definitely attempt to go for the Iron Halo award. I would have to paint 30 models worth of at least 1,000 points within 12 hours.I like this Ork's

For the past few days I've been held back from doing my hobby stuff thanks to my assignment and some of the business that I'm running. Nevertheless, I found out some very interesting stuff that you can do with magnets and green stuff.I've assembled most of my second Land Raider today, and as you can see, my table is in a mess.In fact, my entire room is a mess, not to mention, even my bed wasn't

Recently I've ordered quite a bunch from Forge World. One of them was the Ork Warboss on Warbike and the rest of them were 2 Alpha Legion Rhino Doors and 1 Alpha Legion Land Raider door.As you can see, here are the packs that contain all the doors.Take a closer look and you will see the difference.Well, knowing that it's their fault in packing the doors, someone somewhere in the other side of the

Yesterday was the Inquisition Wars 1750 Tournament at Legio. The night before the event I had to make a few objective markers for myself since I hadn't done any, I rushed 3 out. More about them on the next few posts.We were divided into the Red and the Black team. I was in the Black team and the picture below shows the entire Black team there. I couldn't find the picture of the full Red team, but

I've gotten my Forge World stuff, and I can say I'm quite excited about it, mainly because of the Ork Warboss on Warbike. It looks like a treat to assemble and paint, but I would have to be careful to remove the flashes and mould lines, especially not to break it.The picture shown below is the full kit of the Ork Warboss on Warbike unassembled.After washing the parts and assembling most of it,

I've painted up the champion with combi-plasma along with 3 other guys that were waiting for me to paint for a long time. Finally I sat down and dealt with all of them at once.The highlight of the day is of course, the champion with combi-plasma. I actually cut it off and made it a little more compact.I think I still have to work on the glowing effects he gets from the plasma on the bolter, so

Well, I've been eyeing this shelf for the past few months, and I thought to myself, it's time to get it! The price at Ikea was at RM 249 a long time ago, it dropped to RM 199, and now it's only at RM 179! Great deal for such a beautiful display case.It's extremely heavy at 42kg's! Requires 2 people to assemble and lots of thinking on how to place certain parts here and there. Now I don't have to

Sometimes I've painted my freehanded stuff on vehicles just by chance or by intuition. This time, I've been having difficulties when I wanted to create a motif for freehand for my Alpha Legion's Chaos Chosen's Rhino.Since it's for my Chosen, I think it would be nice to give it a good freehand for their Rhino.So, in one of my psychology classes, I was overly bored and started doodling for freehand

I've been rejecting commission work for a long time. Well, I guess that I could accept one since I've finished painting most of the stuff I have. Just as I opened a new box of Chaos Space Marines, the parcel for the commission work arrived. Seems that I've gotten myself busy again.The focus was to build a new Chaos Rhino out of the box and paint it to be a Black Legion Rhino.It took me 2 hours to

I was thinking of something funny to do yesterday, a 5 men Chaos Havocs squad with 4 plasmaguns and the champion with a combi-plasma. So after working out the statistics of killing stuff with plasmas, it turns out that if the champion in the squad was given a plasma, it will almost guarantee the death of almost anything when they go rapid firing.I've seen someone converted a combi-melta or

Well, I have recently shifted my room. I moved to a twin sharing and took the whole place to myself, mainly because I need to space to keep the incoming stock before I open up the game store soon. I'll keep that for another post.After much tidying up, arranging of all that I have and have gone through the MAD (Mass Assignment Disorder) season, I finally got back to painting.Basically I sat down

Year 2 Psychology is really no joke. But at least I got to finish up the Vindicator from where I left last night.I wanted to make the imperial eagle look chaos like.

Well, at least I finished another of my assignment already. And this is the Dire Avenger that I'm attempting to paint white with Codex Grey as a wash...The one on the left was washed with Fortress Grey, on the right Codex Grey.

What a great way to start a post with 2 objectives in mind. To do a little product review on the Vallejo Glaze Medium and to also share how I will be painting my Eldar Ghost Warriors. I can honestly say I have been quite busy lately thanks to the mound of assignments I've been working on, but nevertheless, I'm gonna squeeze about an hour or two dedicated to my painting.Well, since I want to paint

I had loads of assignments to complete. So even if I get to paint the hydra details up this week, I'm happy enough. I will definitely be working more on my tanks as much as I can for the next few days, though I have another assignment due.I've painted up this guy some time ago. After cracking my head on how to paint white or make my Eldar look as if they are glowing, it seems impossible, but I'm

Today, I practically forgone my painting just to take care of a very sick person and to teach a new player how to paint.This here is Kenn Jee. He's been painting is first few minis and he needed some help on how to paint better. So I taught him the basic of painting by brush control, paint amount and all that. He's painting up a Chaos Space Marines army which will have some Khorne Berzerkers and

The only days I get my 40k stuff done are the days I don't have class, other than that, the progress will slow down pretty much. Either way, I've completed another Chaos Lord just to make my 1750 tournament list a full WYSIWYG army.The internet at my place is so slow. I have to size down the images drastically or I will never get them uploaded.I still need to work on painting power weapons. Not

It has been a busy week for me, I had to run around with my new classes, make lots of orders, paint lots of minis, assemble more minis and even teach a new player how to paint Orks!My friend Janice has decided to go the Orky way, simply because they're cute. Hey, I do think Orks are cute too! For the entire day, I had to guide her on how to paint Orks like how I painted mine, which is why her

I'm just waiting for another box of Chaos Terminator Lord to arrive, as I have to make one of my Chaos Lords WYSIWYG, so I've decided to paint one up anyway.Finally, after finishing some minis today, I decided to take family photo of the entire army.Note the Icon of Chaos Glory on the Autocannon guy on the right.I'm particularly happy with this Chaos Terminator.

Hi all! I've been held back from updating mainly because of my horrendous internet connectivity. I meant to upload these yesterday, but it seems impossible. At least today the internet connection ain't that bad...Either way, I've been playing lots and lots of games for the past 4 days, which really held my painting back. I played 13 games in total, racking up 7 Wins, 3 Loss and 3 Draws. 2 of the

Well, I intended to post this up yesterday, but somehow the Internet was terrible and I couldn't even stay online...During my stay back at my hometown, I painted a few of these guys. They were sprayed black before before I brought it back to my hometown.Yesterday, I went on a painting frenzy! I sprayed my vehicles black and coated them properly with a tank brush.I painted them with the first

Found this while I was searching for the new Broodlord images from Space Hulk in google.Either way, I'm not getting myself a box, despite the fact that I play Tyranids and have a Blood Angels themed army (full jump pack army). I saw all the Genestealers, they look awesome, saw all the Termies from the box, looks awesome, but... not in my budget.I'll be pre-ordering 5 boxes of Space Hulk for 5

Hi there. I've got back to my hometown recently and I brought some minis with me to paint up for this round of holiday. But also, I intend to give much thought on my Alpha Legion army list using the Chaos Space Marines Codex.The Inquisition Wars organized by our local club Legio, will start at the 7th of November, pre-registration starts on the 1st of October.

Hello, today I've decided to paint up an Obliterator. Since I did one within a day before, I decided to do it again but write up a tutorial on it. Well, I haven't been doing any tutorials lately, so I hope this makes up for it.As you all know, the Obliterator comes in many bits and pieces. After assembly, you will notice lots of gaps around it, which means you will need to use some green stuff to

Finally! I've finished the Iron Warriors that have been waiting for their shoulder pads...I admit that I've taken some time, since these few days I've been very busy, had to be called to take over my friend and conduct a training in the office on a Sunday!Today I played 4 games too! I'm really tired, it has been the entire day of walking around, taking minis in and out and rolling dice!Here are

As you can very well guess, I've been very busy. My roommate and I have rearranged the furniture in our room to maximize the space that we can have in the room. Mainly because we have lots of stuff, especially me who keeps lots of Warhammer items in stock...Towards the left of the room is where we keep most of our 40k stuff...Well, I still have lots in stock, so go check out http://

Hi guys, I just want to inform you guys that I've received 400 pieces of Neodymium Disc Magnets. I have them in 1mm and 2mm form (200 pieces of each).Prices are as follows:10 pieces of 1mm = RM 810 pieces of 2mm = RM 10Please buy them in 10's as it makes it easier for me to calculate and keep track. Also, some of them has already been sold, so if you want your fix, better let me know quick before

Finally, this Rhino here took me a few days to complete! I would say it's not easy to paint it as the paint tends to show a lot of brush strokes or staining from the paint. But in the end it gave the look as if it's either blue or green, i wanted to give the impression that it's sort of 2 colours in one.I will paint my other 3 Rhinos at the same time, just so that the other 3 will have consistent

Well, I've been quite busy thanks to lots of gaming in the last two days. I've managed to finish these three guys before my gaming time and they managed to join the fight.I'm currently working on more Iron Warriors to add to my Alpha Legion's army. I'm still waiting for the Iron Warrior's shoulder pads to arrive from GW, so I guess I'll just paint some while it's en route.I kinda have a good

Good day! I'll start off today by saying that I've been painting recently, and I'll post up some of my newly painted stuff tomorrow, though it will be on the Alpha Legion again... Nevertheless, I'm still painting!OK, first of, ever since I've started with 40k, I've noticed that there is a disease called chronic-lack-of-space. My room will get cluttered with sprues and bits from various box sets,

After realizing that the management of my hostel has the tendency to come into my room whenever I'm not around to either maintain the air-cond or just to install something or do some maintenance, I've decided to make this and put it on my board to attract the attention of anyone who walks into my room.I've spent a few hours last night creating that Caution sign and I've printed it out today.

Finally, I've almost finished painting my entire Alpha Legion infantry. Though I still have lots more to go, I would like to share my progress for everyone to see.Since April till now, I've painted up 2 Chaos Lords, 25 Chaos Space Marines, 4 Chaos Terminators, 1 Obliterator and 3 Iron Warriors (that will carry the Heavy Weapons for my Alpha Legion).I think I'm quite happy with the growth of this

I finally got these 2 done. The Chaos Terminator would have to wait. Since the amount of detail on it is really a lot, I would need more time.I've finally learned how to use washes to make painting way easier. When I buy my second Obliterator, I will make a tutorial to show you guys how easy it is to paint one of these.Oh, and I made him from the Black Legion. Since the Alpha Legion would hire

This is just too awesome, so I had to make a second post for today...Today I received this box from one of my buddies. Ivan. Basically he clips off everything from the sprue and puts them in boxes with compartments.I really wanna get one of these boxes for my bits and do the same. The reason why he passed it to me is because I could make some Chaos Space Marines for myself, and pay him for

I've painted these 3 guys in one day. It was very tiring, but very satisfying, since I needed more melta marines in my army, I decided to complete them according to my army list that uses 8 meltaguns...I was quite tired, so I was lazy to move the stuff from my table away.Now I'm working on another bolter marine and another Chaos Terminator with a Chain Fist."Enemies! We need enemies..."

Back! After a long time of busy busy days and nights. I've been painting slow for the past few days, but 2 nights ago I was speeding up my progress to finish these Chaos Terminators.I had so much fun assembling them as they seriously look AWESOME! I would recommend the Chaos Terminator Squad kit for any chaos players out there. Whether you're a beginner or not, this box set will make you love

I have some painted stuff, but I'll post them some other time.A hand that has tremors are a painter's worst nightmare. Everyone's hand vibrates to a certain degree, just a matter of how intense it is...A few months ago, I experienced a

Man, today was fun! It was the Legio's first birthday celebration that we all expected since May. There was the Combat Patrol Tournament and the Golden Kris painting competition.I brought my Alpha Legion's Chaos Terminator Lord to the competition for Single Model Category, my Ork Nobz mob for the Unit Category and my Ork Battlewagon for the Large Model/Vehicle Category since my Hive Tyrant looks

Since my Chaos Terminators haven't arrived, I decided to put an Iron Warrior with Lascannon together. It only took me 4-5 hours from preparation to completion.Here are some pictures.Alliance is pledged towards the Alpha Legion!I gave him the soot covered look instead of the shiny new guy.Here's the breakdown of paints I used on him:1) Boltgun Metal2) Chaos Black3) Shining Gold4) Red Gore5) Scab

Finish the 5 guys last night, since it was sundown already so I didn't bother to take the picture last night.I enjoy looking at them all grouped up, I really like the colour and impression they give when they are all together. Now I know why I like horde armies.I will be working on something surprising soon. Since my Chaos Terminators aren't here yet.

I've been working hard for the past few days, working side by side with my assignments, presentation preparations and painting at the same time. These days I'm so tired I sleep early every night. Still, I'm churning out miniatures at a rate fast enough...Last night I finished this 2 guys with Meltas here...Today I went to Comics Mart to watch a few games, tough I intended to have a game, but time

This is purely for Malaysians, though anyone can join and we welcome everyone to join.The 40k Malaysia Forums.Initially I didn't thought that a proper forum was made for Malaysian players, so I wanted to build one. Luckily I bumped into this one and it turns out that it has been there for ages! So for those who haven't registered, do so now and you will receive nothing free from me. :P

I've been pretty busy lately, not to mention that I have presentations and assignments soon. Nevertheless, I managed to crank out this two guys over the past few days...I've also received some orders for a new player. Yes, new player, means we will be seeing lots of new players around our local game store (Comics Mart).I prefer them with darker colours now, probably gonna give them a little tint

Hi, since I'm working on my Chaos Space Marines, the Eldar have to be put on hold. I have to buy lots more for my Eldar before they're playable...I plan to repaint all my Eldar, which isn't that many, and they were in a colour scheme I no longer find attractive.One of them is Prince Yriel. Painted him a long long time ago, probably a few months back sometime last year. Have a look first.I've

Not my picture technically, but the minis in the picture in Bell of Lost Souls are mine. The picture was taken by Nahri during the C2AGE back at the 16th of May.Hmmm, minis with cool poses can make funny comic strips...Edit: The Ork Nob is one of my recent painting. The Prince Yriel was painted a long time ago, which explains why it's so dusty and the poor painting skills during that time... I'm
