Throwing Paint on Plastic.

Well I broke out the paints a bit this last week to finally work on the back drop for the display board I posted about earlier. I think it came out alright. I need to do some touch up here and there but as it is a background piece I am not to worried about it.

I also set about building one of the Land Speeders I picked up from the Game Empire Tournament I attended last month. I went ahead and magnetized it for a Multi-Melta and Heavy Flamer and figured that while I was at it I might as well do the same to a free Land Speeder I was given (it is in some really bad shape, that's why it was free). I also figured that since I had the paint out already that I might as well throw some paint on the Land Speeder to at least get them started looking like the fit in the army.

Game wise I have gotten in a few games with the Tyranids (getting ties against SM and CSM) and have been trying to help some of the guys with practices games for the 1,000 point random team tournament I am running this weekend. I also got in a couple games with the Space Marines. One was a 1500 1v1 vs Blood Angels where I tabled my opponent, the other was a 3-way game (Space Marines, Necrons, Eldar) using the "Broken Alliance" mission in the back of the BRB that ended in a 3-way tie with everyone only holding their home objective. I used the newly painted Mortis Contemptors in both games and they worked wonders.

Till next time, Happy Wargaming!

Getting out of a hobby funk. Building a Display Board!

Well since I finished my Painted Army Self Challenge I had not really done a lot of modeling or painting, and I was kind of in a "funk" about doing anything. But when the 25th Anniversary for 40k came about and I was informed that they would be judging painting and display boards I knew how to get out of my anti-hobby funk. Lets Build a Display Board! It's related to the hobby but does not directly involve assembling models or painting.
