Slowly working on my Black Templars army

Last week and weekend where not productive in terms of my hobby. I worked on magnetising Predator Tank but it was really slowly. After reading some reviews about the new BT I have to change few things in my army.

Cleaning my Black Templars in progress

Thanks to the tutorial on Tale of Painters I’m proceeding very fast with my Black Templars cleaning. The Superdrug Nail Polish Remover is really the fastest way of striping paint from minis and don't smell like Detol.

The biggest challenge was one of my Rhinos. I think I both or got it from someone else and it was painted blue. As a youngster steping into the hobby I probably just painted it first green as I was collecting Salamanders and then when I fell in love with BT I painted it Black. 3 coats of paint it is going really slow with that thing but I’m patient.

Time for a 40k army

What can I say - my Black Templars are back. I started work on Blood Angels force for 1250p but after painting few models I decided to put the work on hold and switch to my true love in 40k - Black Templars.

My first 2000p battles

After few small learning battles I had great opportunity to play massive 2000p battles. My opponent - Ross that I meet on W4F forum have a impressive Empire army.

How to paint - High Elves - Swordmasters of Hoeth

Two weeks ago I had opportunity to borrow from a buddy of mine High Elves - Swordmasters of Hoeth. It was a nice thing for me to do some different painting and get loose from all the red stuff from my WoC and Blood Angels.

How to paint - Khorne Hero on horse

I have a descend 1500 point Warriors of Chaos list but only one hero on foot additionally caring a Khorne icon. I like the models for Hero/Lord on horse and Juggernaut that GW has in offer but I decided that I have so many bits that I will do my own small conversions. I started my work with the hero on horse.

Monthly Challenges - April Summary / May Challenge

April has finished and it is time to do some summary of my work. I must say it was a very productive month.

My old new blog

Finally I finished migrating most of the content from my previous tumblr blog. I decided to switch back to blogger/blogspot as it offers a little bit more options as a blogging platform. The template needs some more love but I will try to fix small issues in upcoming week. Now I'm working on the content as I haw few tutorials how I converted and painted some minis for my Warriors of Chaos army and some other stuff.

I also started a google plus profile.

Hand made paints rack / stand

When I started coming back to the hobby I knew that in some period of time my small desk will starts to get messy and stuff will run free on it. The most random elements where paints and brushes as I bought more and more and still buying.

DnD miniatures - Wrath of Ashardalon - painting a polar bear.

A friend from work who is a big fan of board games ask me for help with painting his miniatures from the Wrath of Ashardalon. Also he wants to start painting miniatures and I helped him with getting into that.

Terrain weekender - Weekend 2 & 3

Unfortunately the idea of “TW" came after first painting that I did on the terrain pieces and I did not take any photos of the sand base that I painted - but I did it this way.

My first battle after four years

Finally after four years brake I had my first game in my local GW shop in Sutton. As I had such a long brake I asked for a learning session.

Army Showcase - Warriors of Chaos Chimera

Finally I finished my biggest mode - Chimera.

Terrain Weekender - Intro

I'm slowly joining my local community in GW store - still a lot to learn in WFB and hope for many games with my WoC soon. It came out that Charlie the store manager is preparing new gaming table - desert themed and I said that I can help with some work.

Space Marines? Probably yes

I could not stop. I was thinking of doing a Lord of the Rings - High Elf Army but well after all I fancy more going back to 40k.
