Back with a Battle Report (Nids Vs Blood Angels)

Nick speaking,

For one reason or another my buddy and I have struggled to get together for a game for quite some time now, but when we did get together we certainly made sure we had some fun. It was such a long time since we had played that we decided to just have a small 800pt game. An all out last man standing scenario...

Necron Canoptek Acanthrite Conversion Complete

Nick speaking,

Finally finished the Acanthrite conversions, I have to say I am really happy with how they came out and I can't wait to get them painted. I think they look pretty close to the originals, well, except for the stabilisers, but I am not a fan of those bits anyway! Let me know what you think in the comments box below...

Necron Canoptek Acanthrite Conversion Progress #2

Nick speaking,

I am progressing very nicely with the Acanthrite conversions. I have now received the bitz that I was waiting for from eBay and added them to the models. I think these are really matching the originals quite nicely, but I still have some work to do...

Next will be to add the Wraith back pieces to them, but I have a new idea from the one I previously posted about. I will reshape the back piece and put it on back to front. I think it beefs them up but doesn't make them look like Wraiths too much. Once I have complete these sections, all I have to do is a touch of green stuff work on the lower tails and then magnetise the flying bases.

Eldar Warp Spiders (part 4) Lets find out what all the fus is about!

Nick speaking,

Well, here we are, the Warp Spiders are nearly complete, with just the bases to go. From the last post, I highlighted the rest of the gold, painted the gems, and did the white and guns to match the rest of my army. Of course, I couldn't resist having a go at some freehand...

I was inspired with the freehand design by the awesome jetbike that 33claydog did for me a while ago, taking elements from his design. I think this is the most advanced freehand I have done to date, and I have to say, I am really happy with it...

As always, painting the bases should finish them off nicely. Showcase pictures of them finished coming soon...
