Hiya,So it begins, the Tale of X Gamers official first of the month post, for those unaware you can see the introduction here.This month I will be painting 2 squad's of terminators, not just any terminator... DEATHWING! *insert dramatic music here*If I have a camera working towards the end of the month I shall do a little video blog on my progress for the next Tale of X Gamers post.My list I will

I saw this and went ooooh, I saw some earlier development shots and I can say I was not really... impressed. The video seems pretty cool and the gameplay reminds me of the 3rd person shoot and slash, devil may cry, oni, bloodrayne and so on...I dont posses or will ever posses an xbox, so I shall await its pc arrival, or... if its shockingly bad it wont plague my pc and its a win:win situation :

My local club is running a Tale of X Gamers over summer, and the rules are simple: Everyone paints/buys 500 points/£25 stuff a month. On the 1st of every month everyone posts a photo of everything they've done that month. If you play a game, the please post on how it went. So whilst I'd love to start my Tyranids, I shall be finishing my Dark Angels in time for the Cardiff Carnage

Hiya,So im going to try this list soon, I've tried a similar 1500pt list (I can put it up if requested) and I feel it can deal with the hordes a little bit better. I worry I am relying on the Land Raider Crusader LC with Chaplin and banner giving me 30 attacks on the charge, with re rolls to hit and rerolls to wound. As if the Land raider goes down I've lost that powerful bloody nose punch.Still

Hiya,The other day I encountered a scenario where I wanted all LC termies, then later on I fancied another game with my TH/SS termies. So Should I buy extra terminators for all scenarios?No.... If you remember my post before - Magnets!!!!So since I save money by getting AoBR terminators then modding them into what I want, I decided to save more money by getting the few bits and magnetising arms!I

Hiya,None Gaming related post.So I've had a wave of good luck recently.I've been looking for accommodation and I have left it immensely late, I saw an advert and got in touch with the landlord, he invited me and my buddies to go check this place out. I kid you not, It was like a sterotypical post war, squalor, shit on the walls, filthy place. I was shocked. I had the old "It will all be cleaned

Hiya, so its been a while as recently I've been knuckling down with my revision for my upcoming exams. It sucks but I thought I'd update you guys about my Tyranids *cheers* and my few games I managed.The Games.In between revision I have managed to fit a few games in, three games in which I lost two. I feel my army list is very good versus meq (marine equivalent) but not horde armies. My list,

Today I finished up the conversion process of my AoBR terminators.I now have, 2 TH/SS (custom built), 2 LC (ordered from bits&kits), 1 chainfist (so so easily done) and my HQ Belial or aka Klaxxon.We will destroy you with our gleaming primer aroma!

A quick update:Feel the wrath of the lion Today I finished off my Angels of Absolution.. almost :PI need to make my plasma cannon, plasma gun and the sarge. These guys are the aobr marines, and I did an earlier post on the construction and painting here. I dont feel strongly about these guys, as I do my Dark Angels...

Today I finished my dreadnought.After much faffing about cutting him, turning him, adding a new custom sarcophagus and lil icon. I am really really happy with his outcome.He may not be the best painted sex machine on the planet, and his CCW may have a crappy claw that has a bad joint, bit of greenstuff in the future will sort that. ^.^ Finished Brother Banneth (bar iconography)I am here to

I was going to convert my lil terminator's from standard AoBR Power fist and Storm bolter to.....AoBR TermiesChainfist'sSo I decided I'd first do a pair of chainfists, this was easily done in two very quick steps.I cut the chainsword handle off, then the actual chainsword into two pieces using my craft knife.I then attached

So, Drazilek from Sons of Seth was over for a couple of days and between many midnight 24hour snack runs, vast amounts of piss taking and in between crawling through slow 1300-1500pt games we set up a table and did some conversions.Drazilek made a very funky Flesh Tearer Furiso dreadnought, I do have pictures but I will leave him to do the unveiling. I must say its conversion CC arm owns. In the

Dark Angels Vs Salamanders - 1500pt Game.Four Objectives.I decided to write this battle report, as yet again another story. Mainly because I forgot to take my camera, and secondly as I will be writing it from memory.The data slate landed heavily on the illuminated map."We have spotted the salamanders encroaching on our position" said the voice in a hoarse whisper.Captain Fenreth Skarl, nicknamed

I got a gift from Drazilek at the Sons of Seth today.An attack bike!Cheers Drazilek.I eagerly unwrapped it and got my sprues. Fairly simple, bike on one and side car and extras on the other.I whipped the bike together then whacked on my biker.I then glued the arms and whilst they were drying I pushed his hands onto the handlebars to ensure I dont get a repeat of what I call "ghost riding"....I

A long time ago my dad got me a toolbox. It was used at first for stationary as I used to play "work" and pretend it was my briefcase.

Hiya,I decided a while back I wanted to do my army as kind of a story. A progression as time goes on. In this aspect I will be recording great victories and heroic acts from a single unit or squad. I will then reward my models with such, add weapons, decals, greenstuff, a notch on a bolter. Simple things to make them feel unique.On this theme I wanted to design my chapter in such a way that
