intelligent and witty titles escape me once again... but this time with psykers

so the hobbying progresses.. brom looks shiny, and now he has a librarian mate to order about..
He's essentially my "real" hq choice for everything what with captains not being as good and the such..

i was never a fan of the fat face on the termie librarian, and the space hulk on just doesnt look "fancy" enough for my tastes.. so here we have a hack job librarian that i actually like.. hes going to be rocking vortex o doom and nullzone i think, because being able to shoot a mini vindicator shell up people is always fun, and messing with invuns is pretty much the reason librarians are taken in the 1st place.

Much needed update..

So as i said last time i was updating termie brom.. and i thought id actually post some pictures of him this time..

sheild is still being worked on, but overall how much cooler does he look than the last one >.> who knows maybe this influx in pictures and awesome might get some comments or some new members.. now you must excuse me i'm going to go whore myself out over the internet.

NO! Drink the bleach!

so ive been working on more stuff (dont worry no photos yet) and found myself in an odd state, not only am i quite enjoying painting atm (im blaming a combo of mark bedford being enthusiastic and klear fumes) but im also looking at some of my sculpts and thinking "i can do better" which certain people are going to become sick of hearing before too long.. essentially im looking at the termie form of brom, his cloak, the atatchment of the skulls to his torso etc etc and just thinking that now that i have more free time that i should actually push myself to the limits of my ability and make something that is a: awesome and b: magnetized because i never use the fucker..

oh and for those who dont know the title is a quote from metalocalypse, which ive been watching again whilst painting.. and also is my recommendation of beverage for some of the people on the internet who apparently think that tarring all marine players as retarded cavemen and gw fanboys wasn't going to make me want to beat them to death with their own limbs.

Halt as i purge thee

seriously need to figure out how to do thumbnails on this blog..
ah well the fact that ive done 3 blog posts in a row with no bile and hate is impressive.. i hope you all appreciate it!

the armour of contempt is av 13...

oh khiros you sexy bastard... you made my migraine go away.

or maybe it was the painkillers.

Khiros: Guardian of the flame

Thats right.. i've already started to think up a backstory for my contemptor and some justification for why the fire angels even have one -_- the short version is Khiros is a bad mofo from the original training cadre of the fire angels who bit the bullet in a joint campaign with their parent chapter.. who gave over the contemptor as an honour to khiros's sacrifice and general badassery.. the guardian of the flame bit is to do with the fire angels reliquary as khiros's statis chamber is within it.. plus it sounds cool.

this and the "regular" contemptor piss all over the normal dreadnought style.. its like resin flavoured porn.

The morning after

So.. i did the whole gamesday thing yesterday and thought id post my opinion on it all.

1st things first.. Wards hat was fucking stupid, he looked like he wanted to be in some jazz musical or something, full on twat.

got a small bit of time to talk with Phil Kelly, told him his dex's rocked and made my demands that he writes the black templar codex and no one else.

got me a sexy relic contemptor and the boarding marine and discussed the painty painty with mark "i have a whole metallic army ner ner ner" bedford and got some useful advice from him then harassed simon egan and alan bligh about various bits and bobs.

but now onto the meat of this post..

games workshop really dropped the ball this year organisation wise and in terms of overall interest, where as forgeworld put out some awesome stuff (had imperial armour 11, 2nd ed ia apocalypse and tarmukhan out to read) and satisfied the wip itch. gw had nooooooothing. Project X was dreadfleet x 10000.. which if anything just seemed dissapointing as it had already been announced, they had display boards strewn about the place and didnt bother using the space effectively.. there were huge empty spaces all over the main room where as the sales stands had a 3 hour queue and were in the smallest part of the arena.. to make matters worse, they had ALL the sales stuff in one place.. so black library, forgeworld and all the gw stuff were in a tiny little bit and got saturated almost instantly.

as an example of how daft it was, one person who was in before all the others (running a table in front of the sales stands) managed to get in, pick up the black library stuff he wanted and when he got to forgeworld, theyd already sold out of DE tantalus.. then waited an hour at least in the queue to pay.

im expecting a lot of "customer feedback" to reach gw about this tbh.. was one of the less impressive gamesdays ive been to.

although from what i saw a fire angel dreadnought won gold in golden daemons.. IM NOT ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
