The sons of Corax

It took an age but I finally got the last of my Raven Guard model and now they are painted. The army paint job is nothing flash, busy in my 3rd year of uni I havent time for flash; but they are more than serviceable.

Ive only had one game with them so far, it was against Mart who was using my Word bearers; so my army was going to win either way ha ha. Anyway it was a great game, I wish Id had a camera as some of the maneuvers were very very Raven Guard 'I will be everywhere' and I bloody well was an all. So first steps a good one and I hope to continue to really love playing with these.

this last pic is my doubles force for the coming weekend, small, hard to kill and packing a punch........ which will hopefully complement me being, loud, drunk and probably a little distracted.

While I wait...

As seems to have been the case forever I am still waiting for models I tried to buy a month ago, though since I cancelled the order with Maelstrom after 3 weeks and some poor customer service Im now finally due my delivery today or possibly tomorrow. So with new stuff about to arrive and little focused project development I made myself busy anyway. Ive had a rather eclectic drive on terrain including, a battering ram possibly for blood in the badlands games, a chunk of land mass with pretty cliffs for dystopian wars (I have plans and materials for a second section) and four arcane fulcrums for storm of magic.

Theres lots to do to the fulcrums yet but as using sponge in terrain takes forever to dry and harden (saturated with pva) it may take a while.

Its been an age!

Its been an age since I last posted on this blog, why? Well many reasons, Ive been busy with uni, my xmas present (xbox :)) and projects have been up and down. Back were I left off with planetary empires; it went well the hive looks great and I have no pictures because as always I took a camera, planned to use a camera and then forgot.

So to were I am now, well Im obsessed with Dystopian wars. Here are a few images of my Prussian Empire forces as they build towards the first Dystopian world war to be held this summer! What a site to see, promise Ill cover that event better (or Mark will).

Ive also been busy with many other projects; for warhammer fantasy Ive been progressing my Empire with suprisingly long term enthusiasm so a blog may come on that soon. Then for 40k Raven Guard have become the new force, based on the blood angels book for rules. Im quite taken with them but have been stuck for the last two models as Maelstrom are the worst company in the world and failed to dispatch them for over two weeks. So after they failed to apologize for their sloppy service Ive had to cancel my order and shop with a more reliable company, anyway before I rant Ill say that once I have the new models up and painted perhaps there will be a blog there too.
