From Infinity Circuit: WIP Modular Terrain

Hey all, today whilst I was shopping around town, I had a brain wave! In a shop called Poundworld, (where every item is £1) I found these:

From Infinity Circuit: Army Issue Spray Paint - Nomads Starter Box WIP

Hey all,
today I've finally got round to cleaning up and at least undercoating my starter box. The mini's had a small amount of flash on them and it took about 15min to do the whole squad, assemble and glue.

To Infinity And Beyond!

Hi, hello, salut!, aloha, ola, guten tag!
Zebulon here (after a hiatus) bringing news of Infinity! For those of you who don't know, Infinity is a 28mm skirmish game designed by Corvus Belli. There is a rather good article here on BOLS that explains the game rather well, so I will let that do the talking if you want to follow the link.

Blackmane's Brief Return

Hi all.

It has been a long time since I last posted anything. In fact I think it's been a while since either myself or Zebulon posted anything. Well fear not we haven't been lost in the warp. For my part I have been extremely busy with university. I'm coming up to the end of my final year so there have been many assignments to do and an engineering project to write (that's our equivalent of a dissertation and is pretty much a dissertation in every sense). As such I haven't actually painted anything since I did Zebulon's Tau Barracuda for christmas as far as I can remember. 

However that doesn't mean that I haven't been keeping up with the hobby. As I stated in my last post back in February I bought one of every dwarf kit. I then went on to buy a Knight Titan as I also said I would. Since then I've also picked up the Astra Millitarum codex (I'm still not sure I like that name), the new plastic commissar, Araloth, 60+ Moria Goblins, various LotR metal models both named and unnamed, Kingdom Death Satan and many other bits and pieces. 

The next things I would like to get are 40k 7th edition, when it comes out of course, and the upcoming new Dystopian Wars rulebook. However these items may have to wait for a while and as much as I love 40k I'm leaning towards getting the dystopian wars book first once I do have the money to get them. I'm really looking forward to the updated dystoian wars rules as I'm hoping it help clean up a few rules and just make the rules a bit easier to understand. For example I'm still not entirely sure how the Fresnel class actually works so it would be nice to have better defined rules. As for 7th I think some of the rumoured changes sound quite promising though I would like fleet to go back to allowing an assault after running and 4+ feel no pain would be nice again (I'm thinking of my DE with both of these). 

Well that's all I have time for right now. After next Friday I should find myself with plenty of time to paint so I'm hoping to start getting a lot done as I'm really eager to get back to it. 

Well that's it for this post. As always thanks for taking the time to have a look and please feel free to leave any comments be they good, bad or somewhere in between.

A quick update from Blackmane

Hi all

It's been a while since I posted anything but I have been really busy at university. The first week back after christmas we were given 4 assignments so unfortunately the hobby has had to take a back seat for the time being.

Having said that it hasn't stopped me buying many new things over the past few weeks. The Dwarfs been the primary focus of my spending spree though thanks to the weekly release schedule it was stretched out over 4 weeks rather than all at once haha. I have to say I really like all the new kits. I think the gyrocopter is a vast improvement over the old one, the new models for hammers/ironbreakers and longbeards are all amazing. I have promised myself the I will assemble and paint all of these before buying anymore of them to make bigger units. And then we come on to the characters both named and not. I love the all. As someone who is studying engineering Grimm Burloksson has a certain appeal it has to be said. 

And then on top of that GW announced the worst kept secret of the last few weeks the Imperial Knight. I will definitely be getting one of those on launch. I'm certain more will follow in time. I think I'm eventually planning on doing one Adpetus Mechanicus aligned knight, probably Taranis as I loved the Mechanicum HH book, one Imperial aligned knight and one Freeblade. 

I've also bought a couple of models by Knight models, namely Iron Man and The Riddler. I noticed them in my local game store and couldn't resist. I'm really looking forward to having a go at painting them when I get the time. 

Hopefully I will get some free time soon so I can do a little bit of painting and maybe get something more worthy of a post on the blog or at least a WIP.

Well that's it for this post. As always thanks for taking the time time to have a look and please feel free to leave any comments be they good, bad or somewhere in between.

Ultramarine Contemptor & Tau Barricuda

Hey all,

today I bring a quick update on a coupleof things, firstly is my Ultra Venerable Contemptor which I finished a couple of weeks ago but haven't posted. On with the pics...

Hobby: Low Defences On A Budget

 Hey all,
continuing my super cheap terrain defences theme, I built these low barricades. I imagined that these would be something that would have been built in an emergency by the PDF or the Imperial Guard, hence why they're wooden and not rockrete or plasteel or anything like that, quite fitting for the game we're having today as its a Tyranid invasion! Here's how I did them:

Hobby: Some Anti-Personnel Defences On A Budget

Hey all,
in this age of defences I've discovered a very cheap and easy way to make anti personnel fortifications, in prep for a game I'm having tomorrow, we have lots of buildings and thought it would be good to add a bit of other cover and the like.In total I spent £3 on materials, I bought a roll of 1.25mm strimmer wire, 50 lollipop sticks and 38 felt tip pens (cheaper than buying plastic tubing!). Here's what I did:

Wyrdstone Road: Campaign Games 2,3 & 4

Hey all, 

well we've just finished games 2,3 & 4 of our Mordheim campaign, in which (to my surprise) I won all 3 games, following failed route tests by my opponent. It went a little like this;

Building Mordheim: Buildings WIP 2

Hey all,
so today I bring a very brief update on my Mordheim blinding(s), so on with the pics;
