40k, Conversion

Hello chaps, real quick one today. I was off work with a dicky tummy yesterday, but managed to start this handsome chap:

He’s a gimme from my pal Ross (Thanks Brother!), and I’ve been wondering what to do with him for a while when it occurred to me that he would make a really good MotF. He went under the knife, (well… hacksaw…), for a leg transplant, and got a new do. He’s been tidied up a bit more since this photo so he’s looking pretty cool, and he has had his undercoat applied.

My plan is to paint him up in a Spock-esque scheme as a nod to the recently departed Mr. Nimoy. I’m not a Trecky as such, but you’ve godda love Spock, and I was very sad to hear LN was no longer with us. Hopefully my painting will do the idea justice, and it’ll be nice to have a dedicated MotF as well… getting your reserves on the board is a highly logical strategy, after all.

February challenge completed!

40k, Battle Report

Hi folks, I can’t believe it has been nearly 3 weeks! It has been really busy with work and study, but I have been working my way through the leadpile as promised… I have just about finished a new 10 man squad, and I have some bits on the way to convert up a few interesting chaps as well. Hopefully more on that next week, but today I want to let you know about a beautiful Vostroyan army I fought last night, lovingly collected, converted and painted by Matt. Now… I am lucky enough to know some extremely talented painters, and I have played some truly stunning armies, but last night was the first time that I have actually wanted to own the army that I was up against. Check this Lt. out, and you’ll see what I mean:
