Forsaken again!

Well its been a busy few days, with a whirlwind trip to Sydney and Uni starting back for the year, yet amongst all that I seem to still find time to get a little hobby in!

My Bird of Prey!

Now some of you read my friends blog "The Arctic Templars" and having done so may have noticed his new Stormraven on the site, For those who haven't here's a pic!

JP's Stormraven, note the Assult cannon and Hurricane Bolter are both relocated

Now both Jon-Paul and I have been reviewing the look of this new model for some time now, with both of us agreeing a long time back that while it was initially hideous it also grows on you... much like a boil or tumor grows on you, or even for a select few other things....

Jp's Stormraven ; Assault cannon

So our sentiments lay with moving the turret from the top of the Stormraven to below and giving it a more streamline look. As pictured above you can see JP has done so and well, while at the same time I have been creating my own bird of prey!

As you can see I have also adopted the under slung assault cannons, I did however keep the original Hurricane Bolters that come with the kit. I have magenitised the weapon mounts bar the bloodstrike missles and multimelta as I figure both of them to be standard loadout on my vehicle!

This mount allows the guns to track both horizontally and vertically!

I seem to be running out of magnets... time to order some more...YAY!

There are of course a few minor adjustments all over the craft and kudos to those who can spot them!
Now to paint the bugger... sigh

As always Good Gaming,

Are those new slacks?

I have been remiss, it seems near a week has gone by and no post since my birthday!

Well this is just a stop gap in the interim as I cant seem to find my camera, no doubt im getting forgetful in my retiring years. That or its underneath a pile of sprue on my massive two wall desk.

Anyway I'll snap some pics and update you all on my progress then, needless to say the Forsaken are growing with 20 assault marines assembled and base coated ready for the next stage of painting, a fulll bike squad waiting, honour guard ready for converting and a slew of other models to be done. Oh I am now also the proud owner of a venerble dread or two ;P

What else did I get... Oh yeah a new Daemon Prince and a Forgeworld Ork Warboss Biker (very nice models) as well as 97 little Rat Men aka. Skaven. Thanks Jp :D

So stay tuned, in the weeks to come I will be doing a Librarian Dreadnought conversion, Building and painting a Daemon, Building the Ork Warboss, Basing and basecoating the Skaven and perhaps if im feeling game attempting to learn how to use an Airbrush which I have on order and scratchbuilding a Stormraven... Its going to be a busy one!

Good Gaming
