January Update

Well....nothing much happens, except been frantically assembling & painting my 1st troop of Black Templars for Legio Malaysia Throwdown....which held last week. Initially the plan was to have 5 Initiates & 3 Neophytes, but in the end I only managed to complete the Initiates :(.

However, they turned out quite well & I even managed to prepared a display base for the troops, thanks to endless persuasion by Khairul & Rizal. So, below is my entry in the 1st round of the Throwdown. The pictures were taken at my home though, need good lighting & tripod to take the pictures.

 In the Throwdown, there were a lot of awesome entries presented that day. Too bad I don't have the skill to take good photo's :(
Anyway, here's some of the entries that night.

So, in 2 weeks time we need to present the 2nd Troops for the Throwdown. I aim to send in another 5 Initiates & 2 Neophytes this time. Wish me luck :)

Cheers.

Updates and New Army

Before anything else, let me show you this...

First model painted in 2013 !!!!!

Yup, 1st model painted in the 'post'-apocalypse year hehehehehe. Just to test my color scheme on this bug as they are my first flying unit (or jump unit) in my list & I just want to see if the color scheme won't be affected by the wing membrane...and I felt satisfied with it. So, need to complete my gaunts before proceed with the gargoyles.

On the other hand...my hive fleet expansion MAY have to be delayed a bit. Our club have listed out their yearly plan for this year and good Lord, all the events arranged will be awesome :). Starting this month until May will be 40K Legio Army Throwdown....and I'll be joining as Black Templars Space Marine..OOooyyeeaaahhhh!!!! I do have plan for 2nd army & do want a SM army to fight the bugs, although initial plan that army will start at least middle of the year. But, since the plans have been laid out & so interesting to be missed, by next week I'll need to prepare a complete 1st troop. The aim will be 2k points  army by May 2013.

More update to come :)
Cheers.

Final Update in 2012

Yup, this will be the last update for 2012!!! Wuuhuuuu!!! XD

There's nothing much I did in December except attempts to upgrade my list to 1,500 points by painting more gaunts for the spamming Tervis & another Hive Guard. And just recently get myself another set of gaunts & gargoyles to be painted on next year :)

This year has been a truly wonderful year for me. Not only I've just starting this miniatures hobby & gaming, but the amount of knowledge & experiences I got through mingle with all the members of Legio Malaysia club & peoples who have the same interest in this hobby. I really enjoyed & appreciate every single moment of it and looking forward for next year events & campaigns ;)

So, to all miniatures hobbyist & gamers who read this blog, I wish you all a joyous & wonderful new year ahead.

 Cheers.

Iron Painter - MaGaCon, Publika Solaris

Hehehehe you read that right...I've participated in Iron Painter Challenge organised by our club Legio Malaysia for MaGaCon at Publika Solaris, Dutamas. The challenge started from 10am yesterday & end up 10am today...you read it right again...today. This update is done at the venue after the event finished.

I've put myself through hell for this event. Although Jeff has advised how tough this event is, I never expect it will be that tough. After we've past the 12 hour mark....things went crazy. Everybody scrambled to finish their stuffs. Fortunately, 7 of us survived the night & were awarded with a certificate, proof of our accomplishment.




Starting condition



Complete painting

I feel satisfied of myself, since this is my first Iron Painter challenge & I had to paint all 30 Soviet Tankovy Batalon manually without any airburshing....hehehehe.

It was a extraordinary experience to be participating in this event with these guys. I can't thank enough to all who gave support & encouragement to each other to complete the challenge. Salute to Jeff for organizing this wonderful event, Khairul as he won the bragging right crowned with Purity Seal for Best Choice Army, Iqbal for accomplished 50pcs painted models, Joshua, Janice & Alvin for being awake the whole time painting their stuffs. You guys earned & deserved that title :)

So, I'm signing off..wanna get a good sleep after being awake for almost 30 hours straight (its almost 1pm now)..

Cheers.

Case Yellow Final Turn & More Bugs.....

Yep...the title says it all. We've come to the final turn in our Case Yellow Campaign, which was suprisingly come down to a brawl just between me & Iqbal to decide our victory. And as expected, he has more battle experience than me...so, the Axis have won this campaign.

I really enjoyed in participating this campaign although I didn't contribute enough to secure our team victory. Alot of mistakes were done during the battles, but hey..at least I 've learned more out of it ;)

So, this is the final FoW campaign for year 2012 & I'm really looking forward for more campaign next year :D

Coming to my WH40K progress...I've painted 10 termies & just left with another 10 termies to complete my list. Hopefully I can get it done fast...I'm itching to learn & play 40K games with them wahahahaha!!!!

Although...the completion of my Hive Fleet will only come after the 1st week of November, because I'll be participating in Iron Painter organised by our club Legio Malaysia on the 3rd & 4th Nov..hehehe so I guess the bugs invasion has to be postponed for a while then hehehehe

Cheers.

French Combat Company - Turn 5 & Bugs...

Case Yellow Campaign......not in good condition. My French army still being overwhelmed by the Germans. The loss in battle on last Friday sure making us Frenchies getting further from our victory. The fight between me & Nahri didn't go as intended. Even I've managed to reached my objective, I failed to kill his tank & capture the objective..huhuhu

Next week will be the final battle..must make the German team just settle with a draw ;)

On the other note...my 3rd Big Momma for WH40K has complete. Now I have 3 Tervigons to spam the table with gaunts wahahahaha!!!!!! :D

Now I've just need to paint up 20 gaunts & my 1K list will be complete, though I'll be using proxy bases as spammed gaunts for time being hehehehe

Sorry for the photos quality, I took them using my phone camera...not that bad but ain't that good either. My beloved DSLR won't be available for time being so please bear with me ;)

Cheers.
