Lack of updates

Sorry for the lack of updates.

I have been busy doing stuff with my Blood Angels and prepping a big gaming board in my friends basement gaming room. It has involved many 40k scenery sets, a Realm of Battle Gaming board and MDF and Styrofoam with a hot wire cutter to boot. So far we almost have 7 tiles just needing a lick of paint and all the buildings are needing is some thin MDF bases and then a quick texture/rubble and a lick of paint.

My Bangles are looking good points wise. I have more than my bare minimum sitting including 2 assault squads, 2 devastator squads, 2 tacticals, 3 dreadnaughts, 1 scout squad with sniper rifles, 1 demolisher, 2 tech marines with thunderfire cannons, an honour guard with jump packs and a standard commander, but I also have commnader Dante on his way as well.

to top all of this off, I have also managed to bag me one of the limited edition (only 500) Sanguinius models that were made. (I also bagged me a limited edition (500) Magnus the Red model as well :) )


As for my Imperial Guard - They are on a temporary hiaitus at the moment. They are fairly labour intensive when it comes to building and painting due to the number of them, so in the interim I will be working with the Marines to learn how to play the game properly again.

I will get some pics taken of the board so far with the scenery on it so you can at least get a look at where my time has been spent (appart from an intensive driving course which I passed :D )

Bangle's ahoy!

Seeing the new shiney Space Hulk model's I took it upon myself to have a go at painting a Blood Angel up using the paint suggestions in the new White Dwarf magazine.

I must admit I was fairly surprsied with the outcome. I have posted two pictures below, one is without flash and the next is with the flash. Now looking at these, I realise how much better pics will look with a porper light box, so I am going to make one over the next few weeks.
The one on the right is probably closest to what the model looks like, however it is showing imperfections that are not apparent in real life, so its kinda strange. Anyhow's I have some proper troops to test it out on including some assault squads and some heavy weapons teams, so once I get a chance, I will post them here.

For you Imperial Guard fans, fear not, they are still in the pipeline, I am just taking my time with them at present.
