WIP

Dark Angels Razorback

I was pleased to find that the decals I've been hanging onto since I bought this tank in 1999 still worked well.

I focus so much on finished products for this site, I feel like I've been neglecting in progress shots of things I'm working on.  Technically this Middlehammer beauty and the accompanying squad of marines (who can be seen out of focus in the background) are supposed to be my current project.  However the last two months have seen me painting a lot of scenery pieces which will turn up hereabouts in picture form soon.  It was supposed to be a fast and temporary distraction from endless rounds of highlighting Caliban Green in order to attempt to make the scenery backgrounds of in game pictures look better but it's morphed into a junkyard scenery painting addiction/distraction.  I've got to get the scenery monkey off my back so I can give this long in progress squad and vehicle the finish they deserve.

Featuring a picture this week from my first ever 40K game at Nova Open 2019.  However the models in question that are surrounded technically belong to Jerod of the Battle Mallet Podcast and most of my Heretic Astartes doing the surrounding have just been mercilessly slaughtered by the Dreadknights.  But lets not quibble over an extended metaphor that I’m already beating like a dead horse.  You can still see the fantastic Demon Prince conversion that led my battle brother’s Deathguard army in our 40K doubles game.  The remnants of my cultist unit and the sadly only battle ready Tyrant of Badab are closing in on the Dreadknights from far in the background.  This game was played on a beautiful Ork village board straight out of a 1993 issue of White Dwarf that was named "Morkadishu".  It was also my first encounter with Tres and Jerod from the Battle Mallet Podcast.  The game was a fun and competitive romp with two entertaining opponents and a great introduction to the amazing gaming experience that is the Nova Open.  I'm very excited for this year's con, I'm always better at things the second time I do them.

Part VI Letters From The Front!

We have our first ever reader submission this week!  These Imperial and Scum ships pulled together by the power of the Quadjumpers tractor array was sent in by an eagle-eyed reader.  Keep watching the skies! 

My favorite moment in any Star Wars movie is when you see all the Stormtroopers lurch to the left as ships collide mid-space battle.

Freakout... Far out... Freakout... Far Out...
