Blood Angels win armies on Parade!


Hello all,

Well today I actually went down to my local GW (Auckland City, my brother being the Manager there) and entered into the Armies on Parade competition, and bloody won the thing Hussar!

It was voted by the hobbyists instore (Sam my bro didn't even cast a vote) and my entry came up top. By one vote!
The other entry was a very nice High Elf army by a Simean Hawkins just moved to Auckland from the UK
But the Angels shone through (by one vote) and carried the day.
I will post some close ups of the army later, the ones I took instore are crap. Though I think just this one for now
See I told you I'd get one for my army!

DAEMONS!!!!!


Hello All,

Ah a month without posting, blame Batman (the movie and the Arkham games) but I have been doing various as normal but i'd thought it would be cool to show you my latest stuff, Daemons.

Well this month saw the release of the awesome Nurgle Daemons, which in my humble opinion were a long time coming as the last lot of Nurgle stuff was sub par.  I have always had a thing for the fatty diseased one so along with my Plague marine I can redo my old Nurgle List, who remembers my old chaos lord Pestalius.

I've purchased two of the new Plaguebearer box sets and I got me the awesome new nurglings with the intention of making this dude, Epidemius the Tallyman  



Never been a fan of the GW model (past Nurgle models being sub par) as the palanquin just looked like a blob and not in a good Nurgle way, With the new super cool charactiful plastic Nurglings the palanquin look like a horde of Nurglings, and with a chair made up of various plastic part and a completely scratch built Epidemius there you go my version, hope you like.

Then on to the other big bad Daemon, Fateweaver!  

The GW model for him bugs me, he looks so depressed and more importantly about as dynamic as a dead pigeon (which may have been the inspiration).  So i had an old metal lord of change which had the awesome mispack of two complete heads! (Tzeentch obviously had his hand in that) so I set about making my own.

so after a few broken drill bits and a bit of green stuff hes come up nicely I think.

Daemon are always interesting to play, there last outing wasn't the best (I hate Grey Knights, and that tit Draigo) but it just makes me want to fight harder next time, as with all good bad guys there always is a next time!
