PVP strike again. I am enourmously impressed not only with Jeff's skills as a painter, but also his flexibility and willingness to put up with client changes.

If he can continue to put up with my dithering ways, I will definately be using PVP again.

Crew Shaken, Not Stirred: TACTICA: "Edenbreaker" Musings on 5th Edition Elda...: "The concept behind 'Edenbreaker' really is the cumulation, in my mind, of where the Eldar game has been going since late 4th Ed into what we..."

I was talking to a Blue T Shirt the other day, and we were talking generally about the game. My point to him was that the Iggies now have the Valk (and the Vendetta cop out) and now the BA have been given the Stormdrain. So I have a shopping list for 5th Ed Eldar:

Pop up attacks from all of our skimmers.

High flying.

Web portal.

Storm Guardians

Augment as a Warlock power

Camelioline Scorpions

Wraithguard split into Assasin (CC) and Executioner (warp cannon)

Waithseer (ie a Wraithlord with Farseer powers - obviously not affected by wraithsight)

Still really excited. Better starting paying.

22 Armd Regt, ASL.

Base colours, detail colours, decals, oil wash and a modicum of rusting.



The sentinals are just base colours and decals so far (running out of non-odourous turps subsitute)

Like the Cadian Wolverine tank hunters, these will get chips and dings before being varnished.

79 Armd Regt, Devos IV PDF

79 Regt's LRMBTs. Base colours, decals, oil washes & rusting.



Like all the other things posted up, still awaiting dings and chips. Unlike the others, these will get a lot more rust.



Their 'blade. With its first bits of rust (Mig "ordinary rust" - it's brilliant). More work to do on the blade than the other armour, if only 'cos being bigger, it draws attention.

And now, the news.

First the bad news: I've got a job - now this is only bad in that I will no longer be a gentleman of leisure. It's a proper career job an' everyfink, highest wage I've ever pulled, which is nice, but I'll be leaving home at 0700 and getting back at 1900. So there will be a little dent in the Devos IV campaign build up.

The good news: I've made progress with my reinforcements for the Valhallans, the Bloodcoats and all of the armour.

Here are wolverines, decals and pin washed, with little rust; scratches and dings and purity seal still to do.




Moving swiftly on....

And, as mentioned in JTS, GW are launching their legal team at Chapter House. Which we decided was a shame'n'all. I've just pciked up from here http://plasticlegions.blogspot.com/2011/01/corporate-misadventures.html That GW's timing seems to be dictated by their legal advisors and allowed to go ahead, despite the chance of pissing off everyone who has anything to do with Adepticon. Nice one !

And whilst we're at it, why is WD no longer going to be stocked by WH Smith ? For anyone from outside GB reading this, WH Smith is our largest newsagent - if there is a magazine about something, WH Smith will get it in for you if they don't have it already. So if we'll still be able to get WD from GW shops, FLGS and Menzies, then why the rift with Smiths ? Looking forward to Jervis' Standbearer explanation of this one.

DKK progress.

Possibly the best thing I've done so far (Giving them to someone else to paint)

I remain madly excited, like a small boy at Christmas. Combined with own recent burst of progress, things are looking up for Devos IV ! I must apologise to PVP for letting them get so battered. I did leave him with a (large) handful of resinous casualties to return to fitness. I sincerely hope that he is enjoying as much as he seems to be.

Now, I must concentrate on the rebels a bit.
