Keeping the ball rolling...

Slow slow Sunday and BAM my second mini is based and dipped in under an hour.
The DIP is a miracle worker. Just base it like a kid would paint and the dip does the rest.
It's no Eavy Metal or most people's standard but for me, it's a gift from the heavens. I'm not a good painter and I suffer from severe IBS (Itchy Backside Syndrome) and to have him out in 1 hour. Man it feels good.


This is my converted Typhus. I didn't like having him in my army as Typhus but I love the mini so much that I decided to convert him into a normal terminator so I can use him in my games (What a pose I tell ya).

On a side note, I got these plastic cases from Daiso at e@Curve. RM5 and they're perfect for drying minis and transporting large minis. Located on the 3rd floor above Borders/Reject Shop, Daiso is like a dream come true. Imported Japanese stuff at RM5, genius I tell ya. The amount of items that they have is mind boggling. Some items are so worth buying and others can be found else where for a lower price.

Stack-able and neat (I love plastic cases)

My mini's left to dry away from dust.

So there you have it. 2 mini's in 3 day's.

Who's next...

Progress... Finally...

Hobby night was a blast.
The Nurgle Warmasters were at the hobby table, working towards Nurgle domination :p

Iqbal was high on his GS Rhino and mega convert Oblit.
Jeff got 14 models base painted <-- I don't know how you do it bro, but you DA MAN!
Azlan got his tiles to coma alive and ready for Legio Malaysia's first campaign <-- You're a paintbrush maestro.

The rest of the boys were gaming, eating, drinking and rolling dice.
KFC, Fried Chicken, Cookies and Coke = Happy war gaming people :)

So now to me, I got this mini from here

To here

and finally to here

It's still far from the finished product but progress is progress and I'm happy with it. The dip is awesome, just awesome. When I was doing his base coats I had my doubts cause he looked like a 3 year old kid painting his first model. The dip really brings the model to life (Thanks to Jeff for guiding me). Now it's under cover away from dust just waiting for the dip to cure so I can move to the next step, touch ups.

Few things that I need to improve on the models to follow;
- I need a slightly darker paint scheme. This one looks too much like the left half of Jeff's army (His is much better of course). Termies will stay this colour. DG's will get a darker shade and vehicles to be grayish.
- I need to finish base coating my models at a much faster rate. Jeff did 14 and I only did this 1 guy (Damn I'm slow) Thank god the tournament has been pushed back another week.
- I need to game to get experience. Yet to play my first game and have my ASS handed to me (Who called for fresh meat!)
- I need to prime all of them before I head to Legio, problem is I need an airbrush to basecoat them (Khairul where are you :p)

My random thoughts;
GW Skull White is so not worth it (inconsistent and too thin). Chaos Black on the other hand is awesome (consistent and easy to handle). I have way too many Valejo paints that I'll ever need. I need a digital camera. Everyone at Legio is so supportive, thanks guys. I don't need another army after my SM (yet to be named army), ooohhhh I like TAU...must resist temptation. Warhammer 40K is so much fun. I don't like working Saturdays cause then I have less time for my personal life and my hobbies. Why are weddings to expensive?

Thanks for stopping by.

Today's Update

Glued and tracked 4 Rhinos.
Prepped and magnetized Predator sponsons. Now I'm left waiting for my 3mm rare earth magnets to arrive before I can magnetize the turret. Progress is slow but at least there's progress.

Also finally found the right way to do my bases. Sad thing is I already ruined so many 40mm bases.
All part of hobbying I guess.

Back to work then...

Have a good night.

In the mail today

Games Workshop came true again. Delivering my new Space Hulk tiles in record time. Pos Malaysia desecrated the brown box and the tiles fell out. Thank god it was packed to the brim with plastic air bubble bags, so nothing was damaged.

Mail order is so addictive!

Also in are Cities of Death rulebook and Codex: Chaos Demons.

Cities of Death is highly recommended by Jeff and Azlan.
Codex: Chaos Demons is for my personal collection. 4 Codex and counting.... What's next?

Should have got this first

*Picture sourced from Games Workshop website

Collected my AoBR a short while ago. Should have gotten this first before I went out and bought everything else. So finally I have a rulebook and templates to game.

Also have sumore minis. The marines I'm keeping. Dunno about the Orks thought. They look good and all but I don't like painting skin and I'll probably never will. So if anybody's interested let me know. Maybe Legio should have a resident army for newbies to learn and play.

That's it for tonight. I've outdone myself with another double post in a day.

Time to work on my Chaos Predator.
