Another new project

I´m finihing my old badly painted models one by one. Khârn the Betrayer, Khôrne lord with Bloodfeeder and the Imperial Guard casuality from the old Cadian Command box. I´ve just started re-painting the wounded but still living Space Marine from the Space Marine Casualities blister I bought some time ago. It wasn´t that badly painted but my original intent with the model was to make a dying Death Company marine. The pose of the model just screams "FUCK YOU!!!!" and I love it to death.

I couldn´t do it without having an idea. I´m still working on my masterpiece. The novel about the P.I Frank Bishop, but I´ve gotten stuck, so I though I´d start another project. So, I´m starting a new project. I love writing. I love telling stories and the I know the Warhammer 40.000 universe well enough to tell a story about it. It may not be published officially but that doesn´t really matter. I´m going to write a story about this dying Space Marine and tell his heroic story. Space Marines live, breath and shit honour, courage and heroic deaths on the glorious battlefield.

Please leave a comment if you dare. Over and out and STOP CALLING ME ROGER!

Projects

I have finally come to a place where I have painted almost all my figures. This doesn´t mean that I´m qutting the hobby, far from it. I am just in a form of balance where I can buy new stuff without having a bad conscience for letting my old figures go unloved. I´m not there yet though. I have several projects going and need various parts to complete my old projects that for some reason or other I have failed to accomplish.

I bought the "Assault on Black Reach" box and split it with an old friend and comrade in arms. It´s a terrific starter set for beginners but also a good way to add unique models to an existing army. This box contain everything you need to play a small battle between two armies, the mighty Space Marines and the always battle hungry Orks. I do play Space Marines but the models I was intrested in were the orks. I am two models away from completely having painted everything I bought in the box.

I have also finished my Death Watch Kill Team. Sort of. I am done with what I set out to do but I found a way to add three more members to that squad. I am also converting a Killa Kan (Orks) and have a cool idea for another Killa Kan so that´s another project to start on. I wasn´t satisfied with how my World Eaters (Chaos Space Marines) looked. They were the first models I ever painted and that´s about five years ago and since I have gotten so much better and much more efficient at painting I thought I would give them a make over too. They´re currently residing in paint remover.
My beloved Space Hulk box is a treasured possession of mine but I´m not happy about the look on my Genestealers (Tyranids) so I am going to give them a make over too.

These, in addition to a few pewter models, are my on-going projects right now. I know it sounds like a lot, and by every right, is a lot but I´ll get through it.

Facing my Daemons

For too long now my beloved Daemonettes of Slaanesh have stood dormant. They have gone unloved year after year. The lastest codex for Chaos Space Marines really screwed up the rules for daemons. Instead of letting every Chaos God have his own specific daemons they are all now classified as Lesser Daemons or Greater Daemons. The Lesser Daemons really suck! Hopefully they get a better chance in the next codex...
