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.

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.

Ravenwing Landspeeder

The smaller metal landspeeder but a great Ravenwing model. The good thing about 40k is that you can justify it as coming from an earlier time and is a relic passed on, rather than always having to get the latest incarnation from Games Workshop. I do have one of the newer ones, and have reworked that with some Forge World icons and bits from the new sprues. Dark Angels Ravenwing Landspeeder

Christmas Cards and double sided sticky tape.

Christmas Card Making Well we made our own Christmas Cards this year, luckily we managed to pick up some bargains in a shop that was closing down, and as usually happens we have supplies left over. We had a number of glitters, I would recommend Moss Green as it gave a greater depth than just a plain silver which also looked a little dark. Although making about 50 cards we had about half of each bottle left, so we needed somewhere to store all those. Also there was some metallic card that we had left over that I am using a planning tube to store since it seems the best thing. Have to hunt out a box for the glitters though and the double sided tape, I picked up an Art Bin catalogue recently and they have some nice items.
