For far too long

Sorry guys, have been too caught up of late through the few months with all the examinations rolling in and also all the festival preparation all that.

Probably one of the thing I spent my time mostly on would actually be a game that downloaded under pressure from my friend. This game is called League of Legends. Guess many of you would have heard of it. I wasn't really addicted to the game, rather I was playing with my friends most of my time.

I have this friend that always said I wouldn't play well and always wanted me to do better. So I played many different champions. Right now after quite a lot of hard work on that game, I have beaten him in the game and he could no longer blame me for losing that game. Therefore here I am back to writing posts for you guys.

So I thought I wanted to update you on the upcoming stuff that I would be posting, though my finals are coming. I finished one mortar team and wanted you guys to check it out, give me some comments and criticism, right after I get home.

I am also re-working on my Imperial Fists as I couldn't get a nice yellow and have been striping the paint over and over again. But I think I finally got the color that I like, not too dark and not too bright. The paints on it might be edgy when I show you guys the picture but it is mostly due to stripping of the paint far too many times and also the drying up of my yellow.

I guess that's about all I have for now. Once again, I apologize for being missing for well over 3 months. But I am back, so have no worries!

Rhino, Assault Marines, Fire Hawks

So I have not been posting anything on a regular basis, so I guess I would just update you guys on what I am working on for the past few days, though it not really is much.

A week ago, I built myself a Rhino that I got from a friend, one which I bought. The thing is he didn't provide me with any instructions. Thus I based on the picture that I got from the Games Workshop site, I went on and built it. Took me quite a while to finish up the tank tracks but I got it. And there it is completed:

I left the top hatch opened so I can store up some of those bits that I got that I don't want to glue on, such as the side hatch and the pintle mounted storm bolter, It makes a good storage space if you ask me, being able to keep spare bits inside. 

I have been wondering what colour scheme should I paint? Imperial Fists or Fire Hawks? I got a few Fire Hawks marines done and once I finish the squad, I would post some pictures on it up. There wasn't much information by Games Workshop what paints is recommended for Fire Hawks, so this paint scheme was actually after a long period of trail and error. I did freehand for the shoulder pads too.

I have also been working on some assault marines. I hope to be able to complete them soon and probably make a painting Winterial out of it. These assault marines are going to be in blood angels colours, I was hoping to use them as an ally for my Astra Militarum, after I saw the effectiveness of their work in some battle reports. Blood Angels are definitely on the list.

So that's all for now. Hopefully I can finish up everything on hand real quickly so that I can finally get some solid post up on my blog as well as my youtube channel.

Youtube Account is finally up with my very first vid!

I guess I have not been posting for quite a long while although my holidays started half a month ago. Haven't really been doing much through the holidays besides playing some computer games all that. Just when I decided to have a game of 40k, I fell sick.

Hence I decided to take my time now to write a blog post.

I have actually set up a youtube account with my very first unboxing video on the Astra Militarum Officio Perfectus Commissar.

The link is here:

Do subscribe to my channel for more videos, like this video, give some comments. Your suggestions are always helpful in giving me ideas on how to improve.

That's all for this post I guess. So see you all soon!!!!

Tau colour scheme test 1

With my crisis suit built, I decided to come up with a colour scheme. I do not like the colour scheme provided for the fire caste and decided to do something neutral. This is so that they might one day serve by the side of my guards.

I came up with the colour scheme to be full black, with the metal parts being used with nuln oil. Light blue was used alongside dark grey. I am so excited about this colour scheme that I am tempted to make a tutorial out of it!

Some looks on the tau gundrone:

See you all soon!!!!!!

Great stress relieve when examinations are so near!!!

eBay buy arrived!

My eBay order came in a few days ago, but I wasn't home to collect, so I have to make a trip down to the post office. Thankfully my dad helped me get it and thus here I am showing what I have gotten.

The package came as a small cardboard box. The miniatures were bubble wrapped and placed in the middle of some kind of soft cotton.

As follows, at the right is Captain Romero. From the left top to bottom is Catachan Jungle fighter with meltagun, trooper black and eversor assassin respectively.

These were great buys and it was in my deep regret that I have not gotten more of these miniatures. All I have to do is hope for the best till my next birthday, or hopefully get some by Christmas. 

See you all soon!

Tau coming!

So during the weekend I went to my local hobby store as there was a discount, or sort of like a discount: Spend above $250 and get the specific few items to be 49% off. So I went to grab only a few items. They are the bretonnian army box, Khorne berzerkers, and a Imperialis basing kit which I plan to use on some of my cadians once those stressful examinations end. The two items that I got off the 49% was just a Tau crisis suit and the necron spyder.

So to cope with the stress, I have built up the tau crisis suit. 

Since this was my first crisis suit, I decided to make him look like he is floating in air, probably just descending upon the world he is about to conquer. I have decided to also get two more crisis suits together with him to the left and right, both halfway down shooting to the left and right respectively.

I armed him with everything I though was pretty cool, have his arms open like an invitation for an attack. Plus I decided to have the shield on the base, such that it would mark him out as a leader and also for the Tau transfer to go on, For the Greater Good!

That's all for today so see you guys soon! Time to dig out my pathfinder squad and craft out a unique paint scheme for it!

Happy National Day painting chaos cultist!!

It's been a while since I am back in front of my painting table working on my next project. With the examinations nearing and stress level increasing, the National Day celebration yesterday, 9 August, was well timed, allowing myself to start my painting as a way to de-stress myself.

Thus I managed to finish up the remaining three chaos cultists to take a group shot:

These cultists are more the followers of Khorne, hence I painted these guys in red and black. As you can see, it is the dominant colour for all cultists. 

These are really awesome miniatures, they come with more details than you can hope for, making it sometimes tiring to paint up all those tiny details. But they are one of the coolest miniatures that I can find in the chaos section, other than the chaos raptors.

I am now looking forward to finish my examinations soon (._.) that will last for three weeks, it has already started last Friday. Hopefully I can get through the examinations quickly and start painting again. I plan to finish up my youtube channel so I can post some videos on, plus some tutorials. Hopefully I can also get more cultists, making a tutorial out of it.

Thank you all for reading. And Happy National Day!!! (which was yesterday)
