Necromunda.
Escher Gang.
Delaque Gang.
Orlock Gang.

Want to see that! But thats an impressive back log you got going on... I look around at my den of unpainted models... and yeah just not gonna look. Good luck to ya!

 

[ntaw]

That's a lot of unopened, Tawa. Do you have a spare room just for boxes of models??

 

[DeathJester921]

And I thought I had a a big stack of unread books........ it pales in comparison to yours

Same with my unpainted models. Still pales in comparison. I feel so much better now.

The unfortunate thing is, you'll have most if not all of these done before I even get close to finishing mine.

 

[CLT40k]

I feel your pain... best wishes cause I'm in the same boat!

 

[Tawa]

bloody hell!!! good luck

Good luck to ya!

Cheers, I'm going to need all the luck I can get...... :laugh:

That's a lot of unopened, Tawa. Do you have a spare room just for boxes of models??

Yup, conservatory, bedroom, dining room, loft and garage...... :blush:

And I thought I had a a big stack of unread books........ it pales in comparison to yours

Same with my unpainted models. Still pales in comparison. I feel so much better now.

The unfortunate thing is, you'll have most if not all of these done before I even get close to finishing mine.

I've just added three more books to the pile! :laugh:

 

[Tawa]

So today I completed the uniform colour and skin on all ten pairs of arms for the current IJA rifle squad I'm working on for the Army Painting Challenge - January.

I'm hoping to push for a finish of the arms tomorrow afternoon. After that it's just the heads and NCOs sword to go. Then I can crack on with the sniper team! :good:


EDIT:Everything marked with a * are my priority for the year.

 

[Tawa]

Second squad done.

And a shot of the whole platoon so far:

 

[Iraqiel]

Go Tawa! You can do it! That list is more or less shorter than 2014!

 

[Tawa]

It's actually going to be getting bigger over the course of the APC :laugh:

But after that, it's time to knuckle down :good:

 

[SwedeMarine]

It's actually going to be getting bigger over the course of the APC :laugh:

But after that, it's time to knuckle down :good:

You say that every year mate. :laugh: but i guess we all suffer from that syndrome don't we? :crazy:

 

[SonofVulkan]

Mrs Browns Family Handbook

Something to keep your spirits up when your hobby backlog gets you down. :grin:

Good luck with your list mate.

 

[Tawa]

It's awful isn't it? :laugh:

Something to keep your spirits up when your hobby backlog gets you down. :grin:

Good luck with your list mate.

Cheers

Yeah, that's probably next after I finish Betrayer :good:

 

[Tawa]

Finished reading Betrayer last night, and started reading Satan's Choice :good:


Miniatures-wise, I intend to re-shape the (slightly) bent track unit for the Chi-Ha tomorrow before I undercoat all the major parts for it.

 

[Iraqiel]

Thoughts on Betrayer?

 

[Tawa]

Thoughts on Betrayer?

Not too bad to be fair. I thought it was rather cool seeing the change in a rather likeable Kharn as he slowly becomes more and more of a maniac with the Nails. But then how he still pulls himself back and is able to banter with his "brother".
Angron was nifty to read about. Seeing how ultimately broken he is and how he despises being a "Lord" etc and his easy relationship with his flagships captain to the point where she can almost say, "Cool it Ron, you're being a massive tool again."
Also, whilst I still can't stand him I found that I actually despise Lorgar less somehow, and I don't know why :scratchhead:


Erebus is still a massive cunt.....

 

[Iraqiel]

Erebus is still a

Most hated character since I was about 9 and was reading Redwall.

The worst thing is, the Heresy series is in the style of Greek Tragedies where you already know the outcome, but the telling of the story is the magic. I know that things are inevitable, but all the likeable characters dying or falling to chaos thanks to a few truly evil, insidious traitors really takes the cake.

 

[Tawa]

I've started reading Burma Railwayman because I left Satan's Choice at my better half's house.....


All the parts for the Chi-Ha are undercoated and I've made a start on the green for the 3stage camo scheme :good:

 

[Tawa]

Added on the last of the stuff to take my Japanese to 1,000pts, and have also finished off reading Burma Railway Man.
