Avanti- CR42 Falco

Avanti- CR42 Falco

First models completed this week are the CR42 Falco for the new Avanti Force. These are going to add some much needed air support which will hopefully aid in taking out the larger opposing tanks.

Next up is some infantry.

Massive Darkness: Troglodytes Boss

Massive Darkness: Trogdolytes Boss

My first finished Massive Darkness figure this week. Up is the Minion Boss from the Trogdolytes box set. Only another models to complete from this box set. I have not decided on the basing as of yet, but I think it will be something to reflect the nature of the tiles.
This model will also star as an enemy NPC in the D&D campaign that I am running.

Galaxy truckers on birthday gaming

So after Birthday grub (see earlier post) we settled down to our long awaited game of Galaxy Truckers. Really not sure what was going on here I might have had a couple of beers. Nothing in the rules about flying in space drunk.

Star Wars Legion Shadow Trooper

Star Wars Legion Shadow Trooper

Legion has been out for a few weeks now, and I had been struggling to get motivated to paint up the figures. However seeing the painted figure shots hitting Facebook I decided to knuckle down and paint a test model. Rather than the classic white armour I have chosen to do Shadow Troopers. Fairly quick and easy paint scheme.  I have Salute this weekend so that will put a halt to any hobby. But have all the Storm Troopers undercoated and based. So one big painting night will see them done.

Anyone else painting up Legion?

Ultramarines 100 Power Point List

Ultramarines 100 Power Point List

So been a long time since I talked any 40k with a lot of my recent focus being D&D. A good mate said that he fancied a game of 40K as he did not want to forgot the rules, but more importantly he had unknown to me he had snuck in a copy of Forge Bane and some other Ad Mech bits and pieces. So with the spanner thrown down as it were. I spent Sunday pre Grand Prix working up a 100 Power Point List.

Check after the break the break down of my list.
