3 posts

And finally

Three posts in a day eh? Whats the world coming to.

Anyway as hinted in the previous update, what have I been doing in order to try and win my next award at WHW's second 2013 campaign weekend Vidars Fate: Praedis Zeta.

Of course it can only be the Warhounds bigger brother the Reaver Titan.

Intese painting and assembly over the past few weeks in order to get this up to standard to get a chance of winning the award -not that I am competitive in anyway - oh no :P - has lead to this stage so far. The deadline is the weekend of the event 21/22 June, so about 8 weeks time. IN that I am away with work and on hols next week, so that cuts down time dramatically, plus I have a few other infantry sized models to complete before the weekend! Going to be tight, going to piss the wife off significantly, but needs must :)

So the Reaver...
The paint job is identical to that of the Warhound - Legio Astorum "Warp Runners". Same painting techniques, same skills, just a biggggggggg model.

Here is the steps to date, note very little is glued at this time to allow all the painting to be completed properly. plus the parts are so big in most cases you need to break the model right up in to stages and components for ease of handling!

2. Attended Warhammer Worlds Vidars Fate: Darkfaill campaign with 16 other gamers from our local GW store in Staines.

For those unfamiliar with campaigns, they are team narrative based events where results are across the team rather than pure individual outcomes thus less tournament like and very friendly

The net result in gaming terms from a personal perspective was 1 loss, 3 wins and a draw which was not a bad 2 day effort using my Eldar forces.

In addition I got some painting kudos as well with a shortlist to best army nomination and a win on the best single infantry figure - the Hero of Legend award.
Cheesy pic!


This adds to last Novembers campaign haul where again best army nomination and Engine of Legend for having the best vehicle.

I lost out on best superheavy to a friends Harlequin painted Phantom Titan. Am hoping to obtain that next time in June with my current project - see next post :)
Never seen a Harlie Phantom?! Now you have!


Ummm yeah....how longs it been?!
