Rest In Peace

Yesterday was one of the toughest days in a long time for me and Tracey, noticing that our big cat Oz had been steadily losing weight we took him to the vets. In my heart I was certain that this was going to be a one way trip. This was sadly true and we put him to sleep at 1 pm to remove any future pain.

Oz was a big cross breed either Maincoon or Norwegian Forest but we could never be sure, he was a big eater and particular when and where you could him fuss. Always one to sit on the chair when ever we had chicken or fish, and reaching out with his big paws to swipe some food if we were not watching. 

Gonna miss him so much, but now he is resting peacefully and using them big paws to catch butterflies.

Love you and miss you Oz 

DreadTober Complete

So the Dreadnought is completed to the same level as the rest of my Ultramarines. I am really happy with the pose however it does need better fixing points on the base as they both have very small contact points. Looking forward to seeing how to fairs in a game. I have a couple more units to finish on my Ultramarines and then it will be the long process of decals and weathering. Looking forward to this stage.

Necromunda Orlock Heavy Bolter

Necromunda Orlock Heavy Bolter

With the Necromunda Box Set out this weekend, I was prepping and clearing up the painting table and found that I had a lonely Orlock Heavy Bolter Gang Member that my mate jay had given me to paint.

So to get back into the flow got him finished last night

Really pleased with how he has come out, tried a new technique on the leather jacket, think it came out ok but will try and perfect as try the technique out again on Blackstone Fortress Model.

Massive Darkness Malleus Completed

Massive Darkness Malleus Completed

Finally completed Malleus from the Cool Mini Or Not Massive Darkness expansion. This has been sat on the painting table for a while now. I have decided that I am going to paint everything that is sat on the desk to give me a clear start for the start of the year. Malleus is a Fighter of Faith that will be used in both Massive Darkness and my Dungeons & Dragons campaigns.

DreadTober Failed

DreadTober Failed

Well I am gutted work progressed really well in the first 2 weeks getting most of the major work on the model completed. Then I was struck with tonsilities and then away for the week at the Essen Spiel. But I still remain motivated to finish up the dreadnought even if it is a couple of weeks late.

Will have completed shots hopefully by the end of next week.
