I'm still here

Hello,

It's been a bit quiet here on Devos IV. I've even tidied the garage and put everything away. Work is just not giving me any hobby time at the minute. This is not to say that the whole thing has stymied as I'm still getting some army components painted.

I'm also trying not to buy anything, due to spending money getting stuff painted. But I have bought some of KR Multicase's aloominum cases to keep my precious DKK safe from being sat on or anything like that.

And I've sprayed six of the built Chimera up as ASL, so I'll be replacing those...

I have a scheme for some drop troops - Warlord Wehrmacht with Elysian weapons. And a penal unit of Empire hand gunners with Las rifles and Cadian heads; I'm hoping that these will just look 'underequipped' rather than 'ridiculous'.

And I like the faux Cadians with wargames factory heads so much I've some legs from 'let the dice decide' and will throw a few more together.

Hope you're all enjoying the summer.

I've got my DKK back.

It's one of PVP's pictures. On Tuesday I just popped down to Cardiff on my way home and picked them up.

Earlier this evening, I had the opportunity to get them out and have a look at them. There was only one casualty, a flammer soldat who has already been glued back to health.

I whole heartedly recommend PVP if you either lack the time to paint your own army or are rubbish at painting (guilty on both counts).

So I now have two platoons of DKK, one of DKK grenadiers and assorted hangers-on. Looking forward now to seeing them in action.

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....
