Your box came UPS? That's interesting. I wish mine was, they usually have better tracking infoz =/

Keep us informed, some of us poor souls are still living vicariously through those who've already gotten their loots.

I'm working on some Dark Eldar Wracks, very cool models, amazing sculpts with some great detail. They're made out of finecast and fragile as glass though.

I mean extremely delicate, one touch with too much force and there goes an arm or weapon. I've already had to glue the weapons back on several times and I shudder to think about actually using them in a game, as they're so delicate.

In all likelyhood they'll end up benchwarming as collector's models not a functional piece.

i've started building my deadzone models, now that i've finished playing around with the terrain.
going one baggie at a time is keeping it from being overwhelming.
so far, mold lines have been minimal, and only one orx with a flamethrow so far is gonna need a touch of gap filling (his one arm is just slightly short of reaching the back of the gun

I got mine on the preorder from mantic, grim, not the kickstarter.

I have almost all my plague put together and primed so far tonight. Probably gonna mess around with the scenery next.

Good God, GD, that sucks yours hasn't gotten in still!! Good luck and Godspeed.

Bit concerned. More so after Wednesday if still no goodies.

Squall-that makes more sense.

Oh well plenty of you guys care sharing so I can live vicariously.

Got a little bit of paint on my models this evening, might try to get them some more tomorrow while I wait around for a game.

Wrote up my first battle report, or at least a draft of it. The guys I was playing against didn't appreciate being called 'dirty' 'bastards' or 'foolish' though

Well since I have some time now after a finish a large chunk of what I wanted to get done before the end of the year, I am going to work on the Nomads for this article (or at least get a good start on it): http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/556384.page

Supposed to be working on these:



but obviously procrastinating because im posting here

Those are looking awesome!

Putting a killa kan together (if I can finally get the nerve to assemble it).
Also putting a tactical marine back together for the 90th time (I swear, I just pick one model up and it falls off it's base)

I built a few finecast Rangers, based some Warlocks, had to fix one singing spear and a long rifle that had snapped in half... the metal spear was actually easier to fix than the finecast!

My Eldar forces will soon be painted! I am taking suggestions - anyone think a rainbow theme would work well?

That sounds like an interesting idea! Maybe make the soulstones multicolored as well? (though rainbow soulstones would probably be a massive pain to paint)

Sounds like a fun challenge, might do that. Some sort of oil slick appearance on the stones, and black/white armour? I hear a test model on the way.

Thanks for the idea!

Almost forgot! I finally got my Bonesinger model built - looks even better than I thought it would. Should make a great spiritseer in game... though I'm a bit nervous to paint it.

I just finished magnetizing my Tesseract Vault/Obelisk. Im considering finishing my Cron special characters off which will leave me with 2 left until all are complete.

Today I am going to my LGS to play a game with a friend. I am pretty sure he is pretty sure that I am playing daemons, but I have had the necron bug for a little while and decided to bust them out!

Got some more games of Deadzone in, I'm just about getting hang of the mechanics now (although I do keep forgetting to play cards). It is everything it cracked up to be, fast, furious and fun.

Having the 4 factions means I can keep switching up, so I can't see myself getting bored with it all that fast.

Working on the bases for my Rivendell Knights. Thinking about setting up a P&M Blog to keep me motivated but not sure yet. :L

Painting up some old orcs for my fantasy army (currently Kings of War). Some great old models with lots of character. Some from this page:

http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Orcs_-_Marauder_MM20

And a whole lot of others. Unfortunately, I don't see any of the catalogue pages at
http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

or

But they're lots of fun to paint.

Finished building the United Colonies of Mankind half of the DZC plastic starter set. Already got them based and inked. Now on to paint!

I am building a custom wolf head dozerblade for my space wolves rhinos.

yet another day of building deadzone...the rebs have slowed down my assembly speed due to the tiny and/or mulitpart nature of them compared to say the plague

Assembling a pair of storm talons and a drop pod. Putting the krazy in krazy glue...

Having an introduction game on Thursday into Hordes, painting on my Trollblood Battlegroup every evening while I wait.

The More I look at the work I did until now, the more I think that it looks horrid. Sure, those are the second minis I started painting since i got into the Hobby for real a few weeks ago, but DAMN. Im afraid that people start to scratch their eyes out once they see these things.

Painting is hard.

Waiting for my Minwax to dry.

Finishing the last ruin from my Imperial Sector box.

Packing up the last of my hobby dungeon for the move. Wishing my stinky deadzone will come in the mail already.

Teaching a co-worker to play 40K after work, if we can get a table at the FLGS.

Painting details on two command squads + advisers.

I primed about 1600 points of Eldar infantry, and a Marine. I also washed 4 Carnifexes and a Tyrant with devlan mud, which I am rapidly running short of... ¦[

What do you use the carnifexen for? I thought the current Nid book made them awful.

I magnetized all of them for every weapon, and generally run one brood of 3 or 2 broods of 2. Typical loadout lately has been bare bones with one stranglethorn cannon each, which gives me a solid number of 36", large blast, pinning hits basically every turn. I usually team them up with MC overload - like in my recent BR here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/562293.page

It's surprisingly effective against non-flyer lists. I have considered adding one set of Brainleech devourers per model as well to mitigate the risk of flyers, but that takes up 45 more points for an already expensive brood. In my above game, the 5 stranglethorn cannons (Tyrants were armed similarly) were easily the stars of the game - constantly deleting units or at least pinning them.

The thing with Carnifexes and MCs in general is that though durable and expensive, they need to be taken in an all or nothing approach, IMO. One carnifex with a STC will get killed or just do little damage. However, when you saturate the board...
