It is true, i really suck at blogging i just haven't put the time in needed to keep it going. I can come up with a load of excuses (or reasons as i tell my wife) as to why i have not blogged but what it comes down to is i have very little spare time on my hands. When i do have "free" time i am lazy and unmotivated. So what to do? well change is what. Now don't expect a post a week or anything like that, i am still going to be a part time blogger. I am hoping to just do a bit more, well fingers crossed.

Gamesworkshop Petition

The Good old Gamesworkshop board have once again shown us what they really think about most of us hobbyists. Sadly this is not anything new but I for one am sick of them running that company with no regard for there customers. The other sad fact ( one they are blind too) is they are running it into the ground.
If you want Gamesworkshop to change its ways please sign and share this petition.

Combiweapons

photo 6e4f10f4-0a50-42ae-84c7-11a06dc95dbe_zps046cbc26.jpg

So i have started to build up my collection of combiweapons. With the Space Marine codex allowing a lot of combiweapons to be taken, i thought it would be nice to have a few more weapon options. The cost of buying them from the bits stores is quite high so i have started making my own. Next up will be tutorial on doing a cheap combiplasma.

Titanfall

I know i am a bit behind with making a comment about this up and coming game but after just seeing the kit bash video i thought it was only right i say how i feel. I am really looking forward to the release of this game. So why am i so excited well you have a first person shooter (good) it is set in the future (good) you can control a big kick ass mecha (excellent). The only downside is that Titanfall is an Xbox and PC exclusive. But A slip of the tongue by EA boss Frank Gibeau may have given away that Titanfall is only a timed exclusive, as rumours increase of a PS4 version. SWEET!!!!!!!

Epic Space Wolves Thunderhawk

This is my Epic Mk1 Thunderhawk also know as the thunderbrick. I have to say i have a soft spot for the Mk1, i don't really know why, i just do. To look at it, it is not a very attractive model, and aerodynamically it sucks. Maybe that's it, it is so ugly that you can't help but like it.

I find it funny when i am looking at the storm eagle and storm raven that there is more than a passing resemblance with the good old MK1.

I was luck when i bought some Epic stuff from ebay the cool seller not only sent my item but also some imperial dreadnought claws and weapons! thank you very much.

The Mk1 is the only epic model i can think off that didn't have a cockpit. I never understood that.
maybe it was meant to be some kind of drone or something? anyway i made it one with some greenstuff. Not bad really as it was my first attempt at using greenstuff other than as filler.

Painting it was a lot of fun, i used blue grey as a base coat, then i mixed space wolve grey in as the first stage highlight them pure space wolve grey as the final highlight on all raised areas. I tried for the first time something a bit different and had a go at engine glow. I think it turned out ok but it would have looked a lot better if it was red or orange. "Next time Gadget"
