Dark Eldar updates.

Whilst these pics aren't really good quality - nothing new there - I have to keep this blog alive!

Here you can see my two succubi





What I've painted so far of my Blood Brides



And here is some regular wyches



So far I have both Succubi, 4 Blood Brides and 13 wyches painted. Long way left to go :)

Duelling Banjos!

Last Sunday my gaming club Cessnock Wagaming hosted a games day against a neighbouring club Morisset. The day was referred to as "Duelling Banjos".

I had originally planned to post battle reports for the day but I never took enough pictures of my battles so I thought I'd just upload pictures from the day instead. So here they are in no particular order.

Over all it was a great day with 29 people being there. Thanks to Paul and everyone else involved in getting this idea off the ground and the Morisset boys for travelling out to play us. Look forward to coming back to the return visit!

Dark Eldar Stuff

So I've ordered a medium sized wych cult through The Warstore which will be arriving soon hopefully! I've decided to run them as Drow from D&D. I've got all the paint schemes worked out in my head so hopefully that'll look good.

I've though, as Drow worship a spider Godess Lloth so I thought if I ever run beastmasters (they dont really appeal to me) I could use the spiders from the goblin spider riders to be either khymeras and clawed fiends.

Also I could use that new large arachnid model to represent a talos.

I've also thought if I wanted to run wracks or grotesques I could possibly use spider models here intead, claiming the haemonculi are drow wizards and using sudden swarm. Just a thought atm neither of these options appeal to me.

I'll have to come up with a spider design to paint on the sails of my raiders/ravagers.

Good times ahead.

As a side note I've finished painting 6 warlocks now :)

Painting updates and stuff.

So looking at my paint queue it seems I've neglected this blog more than I thought. So far my progress is thus:
* Touch ups on Dark Reapers - Finished
* Touch ups on Swooping Hawks - Just need to do the gems on 2 hawks
* Repaint Warp Spiders - 3 done, 1 needs gems painted the last is only primed.
* Repaint Shining Spears - 2 done 2 need gems and vines painted, the 5th is still the old scheme.
Warlocks - 3 done 7 to go.
Rushed to paint for a tourney 20 Guardians - 4 need gems 16 need minor details and gems.

Also non Eldar related Jane's and Arch's minis turned up in the mail today. Darksword minis look gorgeous though are bitches to put together, perhaps the glue was just a bad batch?

First tournament!

So a few weeks back Anthony asked me to be his partner in a doubles tournament. As I've never been to a tourney before but always wanted to go (though with a couple of friends) I jumped at the chance. We didn't do so great but I had a great time. Also managed to get 20 of my guardians painted, though low quality I'm able to add the finishing touches to get them looking all right in no time. So here's some pics from the day.






















I call this next one "Up shit creek"








8 Dragons - 1 Immobilized Dreadnaught. At least it doesn't have a heavy flamer.








This looked pretty damn good in person. There's also a nice looking nurgle daemon prince behind the trees next to it though you can barely see. The photo is too small to make out much detail. :(






Rend to death - say thank ya!




This was our deployment verse Connal and Raymond, also from Newcastle GW



This was their deployment. The raiders/ravagers are a nice bone colour.



The dragons managed to do 1 weapon destroyed result here. What a joke.





Anthony's regimented orks.



The Fire Dragons actually did something this game bagging themselves 2 Leman Russ tanks!



Dunno what I was looking at here...



My Prism yay!



More orks.




Fear the meganobs pinned in the forest.
