Firey primaris

Remember those primaris dudes i built a while back? Well their turn for painting has come round. Here is the first...

So I'm pretty happy with this guy but I'm gonna wait until all three are done before I start pondering...

The rest of the special weapons squad

And here are the plasma gunner types...

And all together...

On the whole pretty happy with how they turned out. I tried to make them fit in with the regular dudes, but appear a bit more elitey at the same time. Think in hindsight the regular fellas should have some gloves. I mean they are hazardous environment soldiers or somet, and they appear to be massively lacking in PPE.

Also played some Terror in Meeple City. This is a bit of an action shot with a monster totally wiping out a tower block. Proper boss game. Does take a while to set up tho...

Dr Angry is on his rounds

Yup, the Dr with the bedside manner of a megaphone got some paint on him.

Quite like the light blue on the helmet. I'm thinking that that may now become a 'thing'...

Non special special weapons dudes

Got the first half of the forgeworld special weapons squad done. I used scion legs and the final result is ok. There is just so much detail that I found it hard to resist trying to use many different colours and making a right mess...

Also i'm beginning to suspect that this forgeworld stuff ain't all that, especially when it comes to the added cost. I think I will ponder more on this before making overly outrageous claims.

Quick, look busy

Thats right, some sergeants got themselves painted. Now all these rank and file types have no excuse for not being proper military types...

Loving those flagellant bits...

Stop. Banner Time.

Can't touch this etc etc

Aaaaaaaanyway. I painted up a couple of banner bearers. Bit annoyed that the wash went a bit blotchy in places but hey ho.

Also I have named my regiment! So say hello to the Synfyrd 201st. Coming up with a name for these guys has opened up a can of fluff related worms. I may well start putting some thoughts down and making a story and explaining how these guys fit into the mighty grimdark. amateur dramatics approach.

So the pics...

Overall I like the stance of this guy more than the other.

But this banner is better

Also this happened.. Its a kit that is just proper thin laser etched metal and you use pliers to build it. 

Proper fiddly but looks awesome.

Anyway, thanks for reading!

A com-spiracy unfolds

So there I was putting together the finishing touches to a couple of comm pack dudes when I noticed something amiss...

Spot it? Well done you at the back! The middle pack is well smaller. Different antennas, fewer handles, different patterns on the back and probably some others I have missed.

I guess the ones with the larger antennas are from the newer Cadian defence force box whereas the other one is from the much older Battleforce box. Or maybe the other way round. It doesn't really matter. I just thought that I would mention this cos it demonstrates that GW must be evolving their kits more frequently and with certain stealthiness than perhaps they are given credit for. Or not.

Anyway, thanks for reading!
