Finished the jetbikes – finally – no more real lighting effect attempts on large smooth surfaces from now on.  Will stick with edge highlights for the remainder of the vehicles.

I have broken one of my early rules and purchased a wave serpant, but I am certain the floodgates are well and truly closed, there is no way I will yield to desire and purchase my wraithwall, even if I do have birthday funds coming up …….. 

The new board lay out is below – I have removed the 4th jetbike to make room and re-based the vyper.  The 4th jetbike rider also had an argument with a dremel – the dremel won.  At some point (see flood gate note above) I will convert it to a farseer bike.  But not for ages and ages (maybe this thursday).

I got the lid for the board a while back but never posted a pic.  Still needs a handle (or 2) on top, but lets me put the minis in the boot without fear of jumper cable death.

Next post will be be either me or Lachie, depending on if I survive the swarm this friday (Tyranid war inc).

Encountered my first armoured company care of Clem’s 9 tanks and learnt some valuable strategies.  When facing 9 tanks – RUN and HIDE! (Also known as the “duck and cover” survival technique)

On the painting front, I have almost finished a single jetbike.  I have thought alot about painting in recent weeks, it’s the thoughts that count I hear.

To be done: Buy some plastic, cut out a long triangle, mould it into a fluttering banner, paint the banner, whack it on the back.  I am through with deadlines, it’ll be done when it’s done.
