Er, dunno where these'll fit in.

I got some legs from 'let the dice decide' and the rest are leftovers from other projects



These guys look like a decent kill team, all fitted out with laser range finders and lamps for night fighting. P'haps.



So the bits built two command squads (good for Apoc, where I'll be scattering them like confetti). I'm currently writing them up as the Margrav Hakisyke's household guard, just so I squeeze them into my army somewhere. I'm thinking black with very dark fatigues, sort of like the Death Star fellas.

For anyone who doesn't know - those are the heads for the Wargames Factory greatcoat stormtroopers. A small amount of butchery to get them to sit where I wanted, but then, they'll pass once they are painted.

Zombies in Liecester !

Three cheers for the FOI !

So the UK is unprepared for a Zombie attack. Who knew ? I'm off to Italy (via Norwich). I'll keep an eye out for anti zombie measures.

Valhalla ahoy !

The mass of bodies in the centre of the picture is a large part of the Kado 540th Infantry Regt, orginally the Valhallan 540th, but there are now possibly more Kado bodies than Valhallan ones, so that's the way it is.

Anyway, I've just assembled the last fifteen of them. So when they are all based and painted, I'll have to get them all out and divide them up into squads/platoons to see what the final orbat is going to look like. I do like the three large platoons. I can do four smaller ones, but meh. I'll blob them up with commissars and they can walk down the centre behind the ASL's wall of LRMBTs.

Oh oh ooo ! Admiral Drax has shown me a sneak peak of his LCI project* It looks really good. I am so tempted to put one of his pictures up, but that would be stealing his funda, so you'll have to keep an eye out.

Gulp. There's loads of 'em. I'll leave the banner picture up as the header for a few days. Jus' to gawk at.

So, They are almost ready. Quake in fear, rebellious citizens of Devos IV....

Mixed bag

The awful weather, lack of anything we both want to see at the kino, Mrs Zzzzzz's need to perfect and practice her presentation has meant I had a pretty good w/e for painting.

19 Kasarkin shaped Stormies*, 12 VASA Suppressors (Arbities), ten meltavets and eight of my fake Valhallans (similar to those in the photo - WF greatcoat bodies, Pig Iron winter heads and Cadian arms).

Also sprayed the Armageddon camoflage colours on six Chimera. Decals next. Tomorrow night, if Mrs Zzzzzz goes swimming.

*I'm saving the best cast Stormtrooper sergeant for a possible project later.

And in case I forget, if you're off to blogwars next w/e, good luck.

The Generosity of Gamers

As further proof that not only are not all gaming bloggers not cannibals, but that some of them are quite nice* - following a conversation with Karatis about foamcore buildings, without prompting, he made a gift of this:



In similarly generous spirit, Admiral Drax offered to paint something for me. So I'll be sending him something soon. And it doesn't end here, Soviet Space also left this behind:




But giving it back will be a good excuse to catch up with him again.

* Now that's us damned by faint praise.
