Gargoyles

Not much of updates...just preparing some gargoyles for the Hive Mind invasion in next January :)

For time being I just completed 10 gargoyles....need to clear another 10 before new year huhuhu.

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.

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.

French Combat Company - Turn 2 & other stuff :)

Finally managed to get some time to blog.... Ok, for our Case Yellow Campaign, things doesn't turn out quite well for my army. Engaged with German FJ's swooping down with their gliders directly on top of the defending platoons, mine doesn't have good chance surviving the assaults. By turn 6 of the game I've lost as Khairul managed to secure one of the objectives....huhuhu



Gliders landed on top of objective & defending platoon



Same situation on the other end

Defending platoon destroyed by the German suprise assault

Again...same fate at the other end...huhuhu

Due to that, my enraged comrades fought their battles & won, securing France from the upcoming invasion...On Turn 3, the Allies has better chance to gain overall victory in this campaign as long we win against Axis team this time, though I'm unable to contribute in the next Turn 3 & 4 :(
Nevermind that, I'll still have my chances on the final 2 turns hehehe

On the other hand, I've been filling my extra time at home painting my 3rd Tervigon....still in WIP by the way. Hopefully I'll get the momentum & continue to expand my Hive Fleet, still have more goodies in line to paint :)



WIP Tervi



Hive Fleet Seiryuu creatures....& still expanding

That's all for now.
Cheers

Ooooyyyeeeaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!

Finally...it's feel sooo good to be back again :D Wahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
I never thought fasting month will be this hectic for me. My hobby schedule was all messed up during this fasting month, & it's suprised me...huhuhuhu
Anyway, I didn't slacked off & managed to do some itsy bitsy hobby stuffs during the period........

I've almost complete with my army for our Case Yellow Campaign, organised by our club Legio which will be starting by next week. I'll be playing as French Compagnie de Combat hehhehehehehe

I've also managed to do a small diorama, just to get back into the WH40K mood...been away from them way too long....need to get connected back to the Hive Mind :)

Hmmm...well, more update after this. Need to complete my FOW army list for Case Yellow hehehehe

Cheers :)

Update : Tyranids - Progress During Holiday

Yesterday may be one of the productive day for me...finally I'm able to complete my Trygon in a single day Wahahahaha!!!!
This Trygon was my 1st Nids...yet only recently I've the motivation to finish it.

Photo's of my fleet..I've bought a cheap boardframe which I planned to convert it into a display board for the fleet...it will be my future project though..hehe

And furthermore, I'm able to basecoated my Soviet tanks SU-122 & painted the soldiers' flesh, preparing for next month Bagration Campaign..hehehe. So, in these few weeks I'll be focusing more on FoW stuffs & try to squeeze in some Nids for the painting work.

Cheers :)

Update : Tyranids - Delayed Progress

The title said it all..this recent phase to completing 2nd Tervigon had stretched for almost 2 weeks due to alot of unexpected factors..and I'm not proud at all huhuhu. It's waaayyyyy past my schedule & now the clock is ticking much faster as Bagration Campaign is near...

Anyway, here's the outcome of the delay. I've applied Dann's advise to put more depth impression at the birthsac area & done multiple 'organic' wash layer at the exposed flesh across the body. Like the previous one, this Momma's birthsac also will be having the gore effect later down the line.

Next update will be either 40K or FoW stuffs :)
Cheers

Update : Tyranids - Progress

I've done quite a progress after the last update. I've managed to complete my second Hive Guard on Thursday night & started on my second Tervigon yesterday...wooohoooo!!!!

I brought them to our hobby night for other members to see them, & I've received alot of positive feedback on how to improve their appearance. One of it is our member Dan advised & showed me how to make depth impression on the models. I knew something was not quite right with my models earlier & thanks to him, I've figured out the issue. So, once the second Big Momma completed, I should able to have the right depth appreance on my army.
Below are some pictures taken on the gaming table :)

Next update wil be after the Tervigon completion.
Cheers :)
