Dwarf Video Test, big game and BattleBrush Miniatures

Well it has been a while since I added a post on here, so thought it was time for an update. I have another big(ish) game planned for this Saturday where I will be taking a 7000pts Cult of Khaine Dark Elf list to the local GW for a bring and battle. These are the types of game I love to play, bring whatever you want and as long as it's painted you can pop it on the table and play. I'll hopefully have a few photos taken on the day and put them on here as well as on some other places.

One reason I'm updating here also is to do a little test on adding a video to my blogs. Now the camera I've used for the video is, well to be honest quite pants, but it will give me a good idea as to whether this is going to work and be viable. Also note, the base on the mini isn't actually finished yet, it was just a handy thing to use for the test.

Have a wee look and let me know what you think.

Now another little update for you is news of a friends painting service, which I may be helping out at from time to time. Adding a few bits to his guides, battle reports and doing some painting for him. So take a look :

A little bit of Dark Eldar

So a little break from my guide to show whats in the process at the moment. This is a prototype Dark Eldar I've painted. I'm currently painting up an army as a commission for a friend. I was given free range with the scheme, so opted for a red/black look, which will be reversed on the vehicles in the force.

I should hopefully have the first squad all done (except the basing which I will do when I have more done) by the end of this week. As well as some more for the guide.

Welcome 2012

So 2012 is here and I know it's been a damn long time since I updated my Blog. Christmas and New Year is a real hectic time for me, and to be honest, I have no energy to do anything when I get home from work, so painting has been on a bit of a back-burner.

But I will hopefully be getting back to work this week. And here's some news on whats coming...

I have a commission coming up painting some Dark Eldar for a friend, I've been thinking about painting some up for a while, and this will give me a chance to paint some. I have full licence on how to paint them and have a rather cool scheme in mind. So keep an eye out for those.
I've also been given a date for the next big Fantasy game. Now I don't know how much of my army will be taking part in the game this time as we are going to tie it into a 'Battle Brothers' scheme the store has been running. So it will involve some armies from the younger members of our gaming community. If we do run short on minis though My Dark Elves and Louis's Empire will be making a timely entry to the field. Now you may be asking 'Why the Cygor picture?' Well over Christmas I've picked up a couple of these and a few Chaos hound. I'm hoping to get these painted up in time for the game. (Which for anyone wanting to turn up will be Friday April 6th at GW Carlisle) Now I should have plenty of time for this.

I'll also be continuing my step-by-step guide and finishing off my Cauldron of Blood for those of you that have been following that.
I'm also wanting to add one or two of these to my army. I think they would fit in almost perfectly as a mobile Nexus in a Storm of Magic game. Of course it will need some minor conversion here and there but I think it will look cool. (So if anyone is looking for a Birthday gift for me - Hint dropped)

So now I'm going to make a move and find some minis for a friend to borrow and some Marines for GW Carlisle's cabinet. Be back again soon.
