Battlefleet Gothic (Finishing the Fleet) #2

Nick speaking,

Continuing on with my task of finishing the Eldar Fleet that I got from Lew over at 40kWarPaint. I now have all the ships built and primed ready for painting. I have magnetised all the bases, but I was a four small round bases short, so I will have to get hold of some over the next few days or so. Until then though, let's get on with painting them...

Battlefleet Gothic (Finishing the Fleet) #1

Nick speaking,

As many of you may know, I am about halfway through painting up the Eldar Battlefleet Gothic fleet that I got from Lew over at 40kWarPaint. My mission has always been to finish the fleet, but looking back at my old Blog posts, it's been nearly two years since I have painted anything!

Time so sort that out then, and I am not going to go half measure with this. Looking at what I have left to paint and it totals up to fifteen ships. I know these models are very fiddly to paint and pretty time consuming, but I have decided to batch paint and finish the entire fleet all in one go! First though, to strip them, magnetise the bases and clean all the mould lines off...

My Necron List for the Last Chance Open Tournament at WarGames

Nick speaking,

So here it is, the official list that I took to the recent Last Chance Open Tournament at WarGames. More to come on the event very soon, but what I will say is that it was totally awesome, and if you haven't checked out WarGames yet then please do so HERE on their facebook page, HERE on their YouTube Channel, and HERE on their website, where you will find loads of great deals.

The tournament is an ITC event, but for this one it uses single faction restrictions. Fine for me, as that's how I like to play anyway. As always, I like to take something a bit different with my lists, and decided to play a full on multiple small unit Necron army. 'Boo Hoo' was all I could come up with as a name for the army, as it was the only thing I could get to rhyme with MSU, sort of! Anyway, here is the list, More to come soon...

Man O' War - Monsters of the Sea (Battle Report)

Nick speaking,

After being inspired by our Blood Bowl gaming night, we decided to get out Man O' War next. We haven't played the old Games Workshop game since I painted up the Monsters of the Sea for it, and looking back on the Blog, that was well over a year ago! I think it's fair to say that this game is one on my favourite 'Specialist Games', although it does help when your playing with someone that knows all the rules!

Necron Painting Update #2

Nick speaking,

Continuing on with my painting of the three Necron Acanthrites, Necron Wraiths and an old school Necron Warrior that I was given my Snake Eyes Gaming, and I am pretty much finished. Just the bases to go which I will do to match my Necron board. I am really happy with how the Acanthrites have turned out and it's been a lot of fun converting and painting the Forge World unit from the old metal Wraiths...

Blood Bowl Gaming Night (The Green Gonads Skaven Team)

Nick speaking,

Yeah, it was always going to happen, my buddy use to play Blood Bowl years ago, so there was no way he wasn't going to get the new version. Of course, I don't have anything Blood Bowl related, however, I do have a Dreadball team I won and painted a while ago! I might as well make use of it as they haven't seen the light of day since I put them away in the box! It was a fun night and you can see my 'Skaven' team in more detail in the video...

Necron Painting Update #1

Nick speaking,

Time to get cracking and paint up the three Necron Canoptek Acanthrites conversions I did, along with six more Wraiths and an old school Necron Warrior that I was given my Snake Eyes Gaming. So far I have completed all the metallics and I am ready to go in and do all the detailing. As always I am having a lot of fun painting Necrons, and having the old Warrior to paint is an added bonus! Don't forget to check out Snake Eyes Gaming's YouTube Channel as well...
