A blog dedicated to my Warhammer 40k Ork army, as well as my other endevours: Dark Angels, Tau, and Orcs & Goblins. Modeling, converting, gaming, tactics and more!
I received my order from K&J Magnetics, and finally had a chance to finish off the work on my existing models. All the vehicles are now magnetized to the drop ships, and stay on there pretty well. The Scout walkers will a little harder, but I got it done.
I also picked up a couple regular model kits for 75% off from a closeout at my local HobbyTownUSA. I missed most of it though, sucks. They had a stack of HO scale building kits..oh man I wish they were N scale because that's what I need for DZC.
In a couple months with taxes I plan on building a DZC table. My new place has more then enough room to set up a full sized gaming table, so that is also on the list.
First, the good news: I found a new place with just 3 days to spare! Everything is moved in but still have a lot to do. I also went to storage tonight and grabbed most of my hobby stuff.
Bad news: well, there is no bad news!
Best news: I was finally able to pick up some Dropzone Commander, specifically a PHR starter army to go along with the other 2 blisters I have
I have put together the first unit, magnets and all. I found I need more magnets of the right size, and the models I have don't actually make a legal list...but that's easy to fix.
The walkers are magnetized to the connection points and the dropship is magnetized onto the flying stand. The walkers would be awesome on 25mm bases but that would look silly dangling in the air..
Anyway I have a lot to comment on the models themselves, but will do that in an upcoming video.
Sorry for not keeping up on the blog. Basically I have not been doing much at all. I am in the process of finishing an Iron Warriors Rhino for the toys for tots auctions this year, and I am working on the chaos lord from DV for a client. I hope to get pics/video of the rhino up soon.
Basically life is kinda crappy, got 'asked to vacate' my apartment, so I've been trying to find a new place. Turns out being 'asked to vacate' means I can't get approved for most places. Sucks. We did get approved for SSDI for my Autistic son, so that helps a lot.
So goes my hobby, goes my blog.
I did get a dropzone commander rulebook however! Very happy about that, and my first model.
I love the models. The game seems pretty simple to play after a full read through of the rules. Can't wait to give it a try. Expect video(s) of the rulebook soon. Just need motivation, which is the hard part lately..
The only thing keeping me from going hog wild on DzC is both money and the move. Don't want to get a bunch of stuff just to have to move it again :) Probably wait for taxes then buy an army deal.
So that's about it for now. Need the weather to cooperate long enough to dul-cote the rhino, plus some pigments then it's all done.
