Scenery Workshop Part 1

Started to revamp some of my scenery as the gaming table is getting a bit bland

Sunday 18 June 2017

Tau Part2

Fully painted for 8th has started and now it's time for me to get my painting brushes out and attack the tau army I've had sprue grey for too long

Starting off with the big robot side of the army and a couple storm surges, 4 riptides, 3 suits and a couple ghost keels
Following the painting style I've test on a broadside,

Quite looking forward to this project

XX project update 35

Not much to report after the game day as it's been mostly clearing up the alpha legion project and getting it ready for spraying


They and me are heading to England today for the hand over and I will be picking up the rest of my T'au army
I've been watching a lot of 8th reports on youtubes where ever I can find them and I have to say so far Table Top Tactics are putting out the the best ones
Slightly rose tinted view as I pay for the yearly on demand with them but I truly believe they are the best at what the do
Now on to more list hammer 🔨

Game day 5th June 2017 + lists

I'm really happy with 8th and yes I admit I was wrong to be worried, but wasn't everyone? At some point?

Played two games today against two good people

First game my marines and a balanced list, I actually took a whirlwind, can't remember the last time I did that. Went against a deep strike heavy blood angels
Went right down to the last shot of the game where he killed my last remaining scout holding the objective in his deployment zone
- game was secure and control mission -

Here's my marines





Second game was a little better and a solid win for the eldar against a good strong ad mech list
It was just the point of keeping just out of range of his guns and scouting around the edge of the board to grab the objectives at the end of the game
Eldar losing the jet bike turbo boast has hurt the way I play the army but it's made it better and a lot more thinking involved
Also another thing I found is battle focus is amazing with things like fire dragons


But now I need some guardians as jet bikes are no longer troops

Flyers starting on the board turn 1 is also good

Hobby progress 1st June 2017

Start of another month and now time to start painting something that isn't a space marine
And my broadside battle suit from a pervious articles hobby progress


Took a while to decide which colour scheme to go for so went with the easy one of what paints I have the most of

Here's a WIP and still working away while watching some table top tactics reports
