Thinking About Christmas…


With just over a week until I finish work for Christmas I can't help thinking about how I'm going to spend my holiday time. We will have my mum staying with us for the most part so there won't actually be a lot of time to paint. However, you have to have some kind of batting order for when the opportunity arises.


I have my Plague Marine army to continue of course. There are lots of half-painted models – the Hellbrute, Forgefiend, Terminators – and I hope to give them some attention, if not finish them completely. I also have an entire unit of Plague Marines that need greenstuff additions before the paint can go on.
Hmmm, lots to do here.


I also have my fledgling Plague Guard which I hinted at a few posts ago. I have found a bagful of half-built Guard models so they will need the new resin heads and all the Imperial icons hacked off and the armour distressed.
Hmmmm, lots to do here too.


However, it's me (!!) so I've got myself ANOTHER special Christmas project to get me back into a 'proper' painting vibe (not a sponge or drybrush in sight). I will go into more detail nearer the time, but the image below should explain things…


Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. I have a full on evening later today getting my troops ready for Saturday's game against Bull's Dark Angels. There will be more posts before then, building up the tension.

  2. Very cool projects in the pipeline, and I hope you get a lot of time over the christmas holidays to work on them. Especially the batman game.. seeing some of the models is making me want to start it also, but ugh.. so many models, so little time!!!

    1. I'm very excited. I've had the models sitting in their delivery box on a shelf for over a week now and it's driving me nuts. Intrigued to see how the game plays too!
