I may have some catching up to do. <div><br /></div><div>I’ve played one game of 8th edition WH40k and, to be honest, I was in a state of near permanent bafflement throughout. I’ll probably pick up the 9th edition rules because I’ve never missed an edition however I doubt I’ll play. I seem to have wandered away from WH40k. </div><div><br /></div><div>Having said that, I still like the universe and have spent the summer cleaning up and building some Sector Mechanicus terrain for Necromunda. I’ve also made progress on the 2nd edition Eldar army from several posts ago (pictures at some point in the future).</div><div><br /></div><div>The largest part of my modelling time this year has been spent building scenery for Mordheim. I’ve even managed to collect some of the lovely Tabletop World stuff.</div><div><br /></div><div>Right. Where was I? </div><div><br /></div><div>The killiest squad...<br />

I’ve been running WFRP 4e for some friends since the start of the year and have painted some minis for it which I’ll post in due course. There’s also the Imperial Assault minis and Lord of the Ring minis from last year still to post.<br />
Having said that, I’m going to quickly knock out the remaining Crimson Fist stuff that I’ve photographed. So without further ado, I present for your delight and delectation the massively ineffective assault squad...<br />

For some reason, I thought that painting 96 Moria Goblins in one batch would be a good idea. I managed to not insert the blunt end of the paint brush into my ear and slam it into desk, thus killing myself, but I gave it serious consideration at one or two points.<br />
<br />
These models had been under coated since 2009 and were built as an addition to a Moria Goblin army that I painted back in 2006/7. The more recent models are not up to the standard of the original 100 or so Goblins, but I’ll be buggered if I’m painting eyes on 96 more Goblins. Having said that, they are a pretty good match for the first batch.<br />
<br />
Back in January/February, I also painted many spiders and wargs. Sorry, for the crappy pictures. I have yet to photograph the original army. I have yet to paint 24 Gundabad Goblins and a Cave Drake...<br />

With each squad, I tried to have a theme - the first squad had close combat blades attached to their bolters whilst the second had scopes on their guns. I even went as far as naming the squads - I think this was Scimitar squad.<br />

The original army consisted of plastic beakies and assorted RT era metal marines, of which only one painted example remains (somewhere). This squad was constructed soon after the ‘new’ fully plastic boxed set came out and were painted sometime around 2002ish. I stole the chainblade from an Epic Knight to recreate the attachment that came with the RTB01 set.<br />

All of the Eldar eBay purchases arrived and I seem to have amassed quite a collection. This post is for the beneficiaries of my poor impulse control - if you previously owned any of the models below, please rest assured that they will see battle once more.<br />
<br />
Eventually.<br />
<br />
Stripping of the Eldar that I already owned is almost complete and the models below are about to take a bath in Fairy Power Spray. I also mounted an expedition up the lead mountain and came back with 15 plastic jet bikes, 4 Fire Prisms and a couple of Warlocks. I’m debating whether to add the metal Wraithguard that I own. They were supposed to be destined for my Iyanden force, but I think that my long-planned Iyanden force should have spangly new Wraithguard. Bugger.<br />

In said box were the survivors of an Eldar army that I’d bought off a mate in the late 90s. I had coveted them for a few years, since White Dwarf 127 in fact, and was finally able to secure them. A start was made in stripping and assembling them, but I got as far as half-base coating some Rangers before giving it up as a bad job.<br />
<br />
Skip fourteen years and I was casting around trying to find a loaner army for the school gaming club. Using a large brush, GW’s foundation paints and copious enthusiasm, I speed-painted and based approximately 1500 points worth to use at school. They were used (and abused) for about a year before I stopped running the club due to becoming disillusioned with the then GW approach to customer retention. I took them to my office when I moved classrooms and there they sat. Unused. Unloved.<br />
<br />
I brought the box home at the end of term and assessed what was left. A good start for an army however over the years (before being painted for the club army) the Swooping Hawks, Warp Spiders and Fire Dragons had all disappeared. It also needed the plastic lasgun Guardians replacing with something more suitable. An Easter weekend spent on eBay has secured the models necessary for just over 2000pts of infantry, predominantly Aspect Warriors. Now I just need to wait for the postie to arrive...<br />

I had been introduced to gaming through the Talisman board game, Fighting Fantasy books and a bit later on, the D&D red box set. When I first saw Warhammer 2nd edition, there existed the odd picture with fantasy figures firing lasers, and I instinctively recoiled because...lasers...in fantasy? You should never cross streams. However, when Rogue Trader was released I instantly fell in love with the cover image. It was dark and gritty. The good guys were losing and I loved them for it.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After I had acquired my first marines (RTB01 boxed set), I eventually painted a Tactical squad, followed by a second, then some Devastators, a couple of Dreadnoughts, some characters - you get the idea. I played endless games against a friend’s Harlequins and I think I won two games in about 100. This was the era of random profiles, equipment and psychic powers. My opponent would roll for the random stuff at home before he arrived and would conveniently have the most advantageous load-outs. He steadfastly refused to re-roll them as well (the twat). This was brilliant though because it allowed me to re-enact the cover of the Rogue trader book. I (foolishly) gave the army away in the late 90s and only have my original medic left.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When GW released the ubiquitous Tactical boxed set in 2000 (?), I set about rebuilding my army. I didn’t really game between 2001 and 2012 so putting the army together was more of a collecting thing. I have painted about 5000 points worth which equates to half a Battle Company and 15 armoured vehicles, with another 15 vehicles and two and a half companies of marines awaiting paint (and have been since 2014). Sometimes I over-do things a touch.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also made a grievous error. I’ve always painted both fists on my ‘Fists red, not making the connection with the fact that only veterans can have two red hands. In my WH40k universe, the Crimson Fists have two red fists because otherwise the paint scheme wouldn’t balance and I’d have an army of power armoured Michael Jacksons.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, enough waffle...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the first model that I’ve painted for my marines in three years and was painted in late 2017. May I present, Pedro Kantor.</div>

He comes from the Nolzur’s Marvellous Miniatures range. I’ve left off the spell effect on his left hand, I’m still thinking about how best to incorporate it. Overall, a reasonably good quality model, the detail is a bit soft in places, but nothing too horrible.<br />

Although Lindal joined the party quite far into the campaign, he soon made up for lost time. He had the uncanny knack of being able to produce critical hits with his short bow which translated in game terms into slotting various goons by shooting arrows into one or other of their eyes.<br />

What Frank really preferred to do was hit things incredibly hard with his hammer, usually with spectacularly gruesome results. He gained a goblin sidekick he rescued from Axe’s attempted torture, whom he named Nemo, and a goat for which he commissioned a saddle (he never did get to ride it).<br />

That was 2017. Where did it go? Bugger.<br />
<br />
Despite starting the year with the intention of painting, I spent the first two thirds of it prepping and building models. I built 186 models for D&D from various ranges and primed nearly 600 for a multitude of games, most of them in one glorious five day stretch in August. To be fair, the first half of the year was largely overtaken by a house move - preparing the old house for sale and then all the rigmarole of sorting out the new house (which still isn’t completely sorted).<br />
<br />
In the end, I managed to paint 158 miniatures of all sizes so I’m fairly happy with that. None of which have appeared on the blog yet. As I said - bugger. My intention when starting the blog was to regularly update it with my painting progress and for it to also act as a record of all my previous painting. I don’t make New Year’s resolutions because I’m all too aware that in my case the mind is willing, but the flesh is weak. Having said that, I do want to post more regularly. I think a lot of the posts may just be a unit or model that I’ve painted in the past, but not recorded in the virtual world, and will therefore be presented without much comment.<br />

Is it that it's a different scale than Imperial Assault thus requiring buying duplicates of models already owned? No. Is it due to the real and present danger that every time I mooch about lookin' fer fings, I risk being being crushed under models that I have little chance of ever painting? Nope. It's solely down to the inescapable truth that I hate, haaate, painting *#@!ing stormtroopers.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I came to this realisation two weekends ago when, after spending 6 hours painstakingly layering white on two and a half storm troopers, and being somewhat miffed with how utterly shite they looked, I promptly masked off the blasters and hit them with white spray primer from above. The result looked far better than what I'd achieved by careful application of paint. Now, don't get me wrong, they're not award winning models, but from two feet away they're more than acceptable. I haven't managed to photograph them yet so I'll post another Otherworld adventurer.</div>

<div>
This is Ed the elf. His thirst for blood almost always superceded spellcasting. When he did cast, it was most often Shocking Grasp, which would then invariably critically fail to hit with the hilarious side effect of electrocuting one of his comrades. Usually on the helmet. No, not that one. </div>

Earlier this year I ran The Lost Mines of Phandelver for a group of first-time gamers using the pre-generated characters from the adventure. Formerly known as Moghul Khan, and then latterly, simply known as 'Axe'. He had a strikingly low hit rate, but when he connected he would rend things asunder in a welter of blood and gore.<br />
<br />
An Otherworld Miniatures fighter (v2 I believe) - I have another to paint up purely for my own use although for mine I am toying with the idea of swapping the axe for a sword. <br />

Ultimately, this led to my purchase of nearly the whole Black Scorpion Tombstone range, largely due to me having grown up watching westerns. Alongside the models, I picked up Legends of the Old West, Gutshot and Dead Man's Hand. I've yet to play a game of any of them or paint more than one model, but I do have another 11 primed and ready, and some of the lovely 4Ground buildings in storage.<br />

I cannot sayIt's been quite a while since I last posted, this being largely due to work being incredibly busy and a house move, which whilst now completed leaves me with lots of 1:1 scale painting. It was during this house move, that I decided to rescind my vehemently held embargo on varnishing models.<br />
<br />
The catalyst for the original decision was one, I'm sure, familiar to many gamers. Picture this scene if you will - a young gamer full of the quiet satisfaction of a job well done, having spent fifty or so hours painting eight of the older metal and plastic Ellyrian Reavers from Games Workshop, picking up a new tin of Purity Seal Matt varnish with the intent of protecting the hard won paint job, and then promptly stuffing it up by giving them a lovely frosted Yuletide effect. When I had recovered my sensibilities enough to think coherently, I vowed never to spray varnish again - I'd just be careful with my models. <br />
<br />
This worked quite well for a number of years, but no matter how careful I was (and I'm borderline neurotic when it comes to the welfare of my collection) some of the metal models invariably ended up chipped. I have discovered a solution that, hopefully someone might find useful - though it is more time consuming than spray varnish. I brush on two thin coats of GW's 'Ard coat (I have some Vallejo gloss varnish - the newer formulation), followed by one (two, if necessary) coats of Vallejo matt varnish. The coats of gloss before the matt seem to preserve the lustre of the paint job - at least to my mind. The first batch that I varnished in this manner survived being handled by a group of teenage D&D players for six months without so much a blemish.<br />
<br />
At some point during the move, I decided to revisit all of my painted armies and give them a coat of varnish. As this blog was, in part, designed to catalogue my painting efforts, it'll be nice to have pictures of them somewhere. A lot of the models date back to around 2000 and are all GW models, so over the next few months I'll be posting pictures of stuff painted long ago amongst the new stuff.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I digress...may I present my uncle Tommy. This is the last in the BDD Dungeon Adventurers set from Citadel back in the 80s, and I've always thought that (apart from the muscles and loincloth) he bears a striking resemblance to my uncle. In the eighties, my uncle sported a Lemmy style moustache and sideburns, later transforming into a moustache independent of his ears, both styles of face furniture accompanied by long hair. The last time I saw my uncle, just two years ago, he had the same haircut - classics are classics for a reason!<br />

The second elf from this set is one of my favourites. I did a bit of freehand on his tunic and I was really happy with how his cloak came out.<br />

When I revisited him, I was conscious of trying to push the contrast on what I paint therefore the dark blue of the cloak versus the white of his robes, the glazing into shadow on the white robes, etc. I don't think I pushed the contrast enough on the cloak, but it does look better in the flesh.<br />
<br />
Another technique I wanted to try was object source lighting, in this instance the runes carved into his staff. I was quite chuffed at how they turned out. Haven't tried it since then though...<br />
