My First Hobby Night

What a night it turned out to be. Thought I arrived late there was only Azlan (http://spunkybass.multiply.com), Jeff (http://adeptusmalaysia.blogspot.com)and Kieran at Legio (http://legiomalaysia.blogspot.com). Music was blasting, hobby was intensive and when CLUTCH came on that's when things started to kick into gear. I admit, Clutch is catchy... very catchy. Nice One!

Imperial Bastion is a little smaller than I imagined it to be but when Lan was done with it, oh man it was sweet. He also had a custom made bunker, which I think is the base of the Bastion. Beautiful, just marvelous. Its amazing what can be done with a laser cutting machine.

But the highlight of the night had to be the Jeff's rhino with EXTRA ARMOR. Home made, laser freaking cut with inscriptions so small a smurf couldn't even read it kinda awesomeness.
I was blown away by the level last night. At times I felt shy with what little accomplishment I had brought with me :p

Managed to show and tell my puny uncompleted army and got many encouraging words from the guys (Thanks guys, I'm inspired to achieve more now)

I'm a true believer of the dip technique, Jeff's Unclean Termies were awe inspiring. So so so simply awesome. Dann is coming to his dipping senses I hope.

Got some hobby tips from all the senior gamers last night. First thing on the shopping list is MINWAX Wood Finish: Provincial 211 for that dark nurgly feel. Followed by MINWAX Wood Finish: Provincial 211 just in-case I missed it out. ahhahaah Third is TAMIYA COLOR for plastics; Flat Clear for after the dip is done. Last but not least basing material. My Oblits had GW basing material on them, thought they looked okayyyy to me. Jeff did point it out that it looked too chunky. Initially that's what I was looking for, but after looking at what the other guys had on their bases I think I need to find some really fine grit to re-do mine.

Today after work, I headed to 1 Utama TAMIYA UNDERGROUND. 2 can's of TAMIYA COLOR for plastics; Flat Clear (www.tamiya.com.my). Stopped off KFC for my monthly sinful 'DINNER PLATE' chicken run. Then off to IKANO ACE hardware, MINWAX Wood Finish: Provincial 211. Then I spent another 2 hour looking for fine basing grit. Was searching high and low for it everywhere from Ikano --> IKEA to The Curve. Finally made my way to Pet's Wonderland in Ikano to look at dog's to ease my frustration away.

On my way out, I stumble upon a group of young kids pointing and laughing at a box of furry creatures. Curiosity (busy-body-ness) got the better of me and I took a peek. Stupid hamsters playing in a box. WOW, how amusing I thought. Then it bloody hit me. Hamster bath sand. I used to have hamster and yeah, they did bathe in sand. So off I went like a little Einstein to the hamster section. Being me, I took the cheapest and last one there (not scented and only RM7.90)

The loot of the day.

On the way back home I stopped by GC for my weekly dose of Warhammer. Dann was there with his Eldar against Tau. I didn't bring my minis, so it's another week without game (sorry Dann). Then I had to go cause of dinner plans.

I love hobby night. So much fun. Now I have dip, there is no excuse for me to delay my army. Target time, 1 month from today.

CHEERS :)

Thursday Futsal Night Progress

Didn't get much done today cause I had to work late and it's futsal night.

Tidied up my Chosen Marines, added more details to them to make them more Nurgly.
Nurgle Demon Prince is coming along nicely. Won't be doing much to him besides pinning and adding wings. Might make his wings detachable cause the 2 that I currently have right now is a paint to transport.

Anyways, here is my latest addition....from yesterday..... A terminator with Twin Lightning Claws.
This fella here is the sole CC Terminator in the squad of 7.
Helmet is from the Chaos Possessed Marine Squad, which I think give's him the extra uumph! but he looks so very different from the squad cause of the helmet.
Gonna add more plague and pox on him before the rest of the bits go on.

In the mean time, Have A Great Day Ahead.....

I'm off to Legio Malaysia tonight.

From start to finish, it's been since May that I decided to get back into WH40K and this is now almost completed. All that's left now it so prime, assemble and paint d:) Sounds easy enough...

Also this Friday will be my first visit to Hobby Night at Legio :)
Can't wait to get there and pick up tips on painting my army. Also gonna help Jeff build tables :)
Finally, I can enjoy Warhammer again without worries I used to have in my yesteryear.

CHEERS

Here's a sneak preview of the army. (I ran out of special weapons, so i had to improvise :p)

The Chosen Ones

Thanks GW :)

GW sent me a replacement box of Death Guard Plague Marines today :)
What's even better is that they included a CITADEL Available To Order Catalogue.

Here's how it started, on my 4th box of Death Guard Plague Marines, I found that they only gave me 6 mini's instead of 7. Plus the one missing was the ever famous Champion model with the Tabard. Apart from that everything else was complete.


Though I could have just used my Chaos Space Marine with Nurgle Icon to fill in the rank, but I decided what the heck I paid good money for it and I'm just gonna write to them and see what happenes.

GW was nice enough to send it to me through UPS and within 3 day's it arrived.
This really makes me happy :)

So here's to the GW Customer Service (Yan) and to GW for an awesome experience.

Thank You.

Obliteratorssssss

Let's just see what I have accomplished this week, shall we.

WIP of My Obliterators and Demon Prince.

All Based Up and waiting to be primed

Actually finished converting this guys 2 weeks back, but didn't have the time to assemble the hands and base them. The guy in front is the Chaos Space Marine with Nurgle Icon. He's about 12 to 13 years old right now. I also got the Chaos Space Marine with Khorne Icon.

Well... finally they're ready for base coat. I'm not entirely happy with them, but it's different from the standard form so this will have to do for now. Spend most of my time pinning the legs and trying not to make them look funny cause they're not supposed to be standing up. Think the extended arms look kinda funny too.

But this project was fun to do and I'll gladly convert more in the future. I cut my first model with a dremel and had to wait a week for the bone saw from GF9 to arrive (which is an excellent product). Took hours off my total cutting time :)

Also got around toassembling my Nurgle Demon Prince, which will be proxied as GUO or Smmoned Greater Demon.


Below are my other WIP;
