Blood Axe Stormboyz repaints!

Finished the first 5 of my new Stormboyz.  Sticking with the Blood Axe theme, but using different camo patterns. I really like how these came out!

Camo colors are done with Badger Model Flex Colors.  Olive Drab base, then camo of Forest Green and European Dark Green.  Having room for decals on the rokkits is really cool, adds some nice detail.

I don't know when I'll finish the unit, or if they will ever see the table, but I think they look darn spiffy.

Tau trailer!

Well it's official now..Tau pre-orders on 3-30.


Pretty excited about this. I'm trying to raise some cash to buy a riptide.  Even if it sucks I have to have one!

Our ascension is a matter of time

Other updates, I have a how-to video up. First one in a long time:

The first five stormboys are done except varnish. I *love* the way they came out! Pics and video soon!

OMG Tau!

It's finally happening for real! New Tau codex!

I spent all day Saturday at a tournament (see below) and got home tired and sore only to find Tau pics online! OMG I'm so happy..and broke at the same time lol.

I went 3-0-1 with my usual gunline Ork/Tau list.  Not bad at all.  I'm pouring over rumors trying to figure out some broken Ork/Tau or SM/Tau combos. I'm sure there is something fun I can do there.. only time will tell!

April 6th. 

Defkopta complete plus more

Finished the looted defkopta and took a couple pics with it's unit.

Not much to say, just pics:

3 Defkoptas with TL big shootas, one with a buzzsaw.  It's always been a useful unit, by harassing, drawing fire, and going for that linebreaker point.

Road to the Bay Area Open..ends here.

I am completely heartbroken. I wont be able to attend the Bay Area Open after getting news my car has a blown head gasket.  The money I saved for the trip now has to go to either repair or a temporary car.

I'm still working on getting my Orks completed, as I want to be fully painted for league play.

I'll have to try again next year.

On March 16th is the Guardian Cup 5, so I'll probably be playing that instead.   Same points level, so I can use my BaO list.

Road to the Bay Area Open 6

Hey progress is not going as much as I would have liked. I was expecting to be done by now, but not even close!

I still have at least 9 sets of arms to paint, paint the slugga arm and touch up the big mek, finish the defkopta (rider is done though) and rebase my Tau units.  Sigh.

At least some of that is optional. I don't *have* to rebase my Tau. I have 14 total sets of arms to paint, but only need 9 for the BaO.

While waiting for primer to dry, I broke out my first box of Savage Orcs and put 6 of them together. They are super easy to assemble but painting them is going to be booring...lots of bone and wood.

Anyway, pic.

Road to the Bay Aera Open 5

Hey things are coming along just fine.

Finished 13 sets of arms so far (14 to go), finished and primed the defkopta.   I'll be working on those, I want them all done.

I also picked up a "new" camera. We'll see how it works out.

I keep thinking I need to practice, but I realized I've been playing the same list for 2 years. I think I've done enough practicing.  Just need to work out ideas to counter certain lists (like flamers and helldrakes), but I'm pretty sure I got that down.

The only thing that worries me is the Dark Angels dakka banner.. I really don't know what I can do against 30+ bikes putting out 4 TL shots each...just hope for good dice I guess :)

Here is a pic with the new camera of the built defkopta.

That's it for now!
