New Veterans

Wow doesn't time fly when you are not aware of it. Life has been up to its usual tricks of being very painful and unpleasant at the moment so haven't had mush time for painting, or writing!

Anyway I have made some progress on the new five man veteran squad, after distributing some of the kit from the sprues around the whole army I have a five man squad of veterans kitted out. Not all of these come with monk style robes, which I am assuming equate to Inner Circle or at least further on the path to the Inner Mysteries than other marines.

So the first guy just has enhanced equipment with a sniper sight for his bolter and the combat shield.




The second guy will probably act as the Veteran Sergeant for the squad with his power maul, bionic eye and monks robes. A little frustrated with the flash lines on the robes which are still a little visible despite much scrapping with a sharp knife. The robes are a sightly different hue to those I have done before, more honey in colour, but I guess that just makes the army look less uniform on the detail front rather than too monochrome.

Legolas Greenleaf

Well got some of the first figures in from Ebay for the LOTR strategy battle game. They are a mixed bag and I am always amazed at how badly painted and prepared most of the figures are. It is as if no one has ever seen White Dwarf or the Games Workshop website and haven't a clue. Learn how to use a brush. The most overused and innacurate statement on Ebay for Games Workshop figures is Pro Painted! Anyway this is the first example, I am going to tackle, our little pointed ear friend Legolas Greenleaf, prince of Mirkwood and son to Tharanduil. He appears to have green hair in the figure that I have got, so much work to be done to turn him into a decent figure again. I got the whole Fellowship on their presentation stand as one of my first purchases and I will go through the reasons for which models I got in a future post.

Dark Elves Spearmen and Repeater Crossbows

Some shots of my Dark Elf force, this army has been reasonably successful, and this is with it using a Black Dragon as a mount for the Dark Elf General. Depsite putting mega pts into this arrangement it seems to work. The army colours use an antique gold for the helments and extra metal fittings with a purple for cloth. Also have leather details in a creamy leather for that flayed looked. The Dark Elves Spearmen unit uses a mix of figures, there are some older metal figures in there for most of the spearmen, the champion and the musician, whilst there are also a few of the newer plastic figures. I also used a mix of shield designs, some hand painted and some with plastic skulls, but all using the skull motif. The Repeater Crossbow Dark Elves also use a mix of metal and plastic figures, tied together with the same colour scheme. The unit has no standard but does have a musician.

Coby Digital Photo Frames

Added details on Coby digital photo frames and Parrott digital picture frames to another site I run which has details on digital photo frames. I have found them a great way to view my digital photos which otherwise just get stuck on your computer. But it is hard to find information on them so you can look at www.digitalphoto-frames.co.uk for information about these and other manufacturers of digital frames such as Philips, Kodak and Cibox.
