April Summary

Here is my month in review. April was a bit of a powerhouse for me.

Painting Points

I mangaged to paint up the following:

Belial

Land Raider Crusader

2x Choir of Menoth

1 Terminator with Cyclone Missle Launcher and TH/SS

All that brings me to 47 painting points, which is only 3 shy of what i painted last year. Not to shabby if you ask me.

And now I have decided to incorporate a monthly hobby fund, for 2 reasons.

1. I was inspired by Stuck Between Stations

2. I buy too much crap.

New Model Fund

So taking 50 bucks for a new month, plus my random cash pile, gives me 76 bucks to spend on hobby items for the month of May.

Land Raider Finished

2 weeks in the making, this post marks the finishing of the first of two Land Raiders I've got que'd up for my 1500 point Deathwing list. I've still got alot to finish for the army (pretty much everything but this and Belial), so its going to be a while before they can all take the table painted and looking glorious. Anyways, without further delay, here are the pics.

I'm very happy with the way the vehicle turned out. I actually learned a few very valuable lessons while working on the Land Raider.

• When working with washes on large flat surfaces, use the biggest brush available. This will prevent visible brush strokes.
• Never let the edge of the wash dry. This will prevent lines showing up after the washes dry. It will also save you from ruining a spot by leaving brush spots on a partially dried wash.
• Wash everything at the same time, so all the parts turn out the same color. Most of you will probably have noticed that one of the door panels and the sponsons are a slightly differant color. Washing everything at the same time would have prevented that.

Well thats all for now, thanks for stopping by. In the very near future, I'm going to have some posted pics of finished Belial. Whats after that, who knows.

Skulls for the Skull Throne

As I mentioned yesterday, Tuesday night I completed a trade with my good friend Adam. I sent his way 2 MK1 Rhino's, 1 MK Razorback with the Las/Plas turret, and 1 MK1 Predator Annihilator. In return, I received this pile o mini's:

Among the Necromunda terrain and my mobile painting station, you see the following:

Bloodletters x 50

Blood Crushers x 9

Fleshhounds (Khorne Dogs as I like to call them) x 5

Chaos Hounds x 10

Skull Taker x 1

Old metal Daemon Prince x 1

Karanak x 1

Forgeworld Khorne Daemon Prince and Herald x 1

This army is still a ways off in the future. I'm going to finish my Tyranids and Deathwing before I get started on these daemons, but I can't possibly be more excited to start them. I also haven't decided if they will be for Fantasy or 40k, or both with some Gale Force 9 movement trays for the circle bases.
