Bases!

I am working on the bases...

Tried some crackle paint and it didn't quite turn out as crackled as I wanted. I like the sand and colors though. Gonna try again and add some rusted scrap metal bits, then just go with however that turns out!

What do you think?

The last two-

They ain't pretty, but they are painted! Ignoring mismatched color schemes and no basing, I've got 1000 points ready for the game.


First game jitters

So I've arranged to meet a guy at a local shop to play a small game of 7th Ed. 1000 points, just to try to learn the rules. I built a pretty basic list, just based off what I have at least painted (if not based). Some of the paint is my old Dark Angels, some of it is a red armor variant I started to do several years ago, and some of it is the new white scheme. This won't really be a narrative game for me, since it's my first go in the new system. I'll take some notes though and write up a battle report anyway. My list is here if you'd like to check it out.

Here's the last bit of painting I have to do to get completed squads! Just a tank commander with a stormbolter for a rhino and one sergeant with a power weapon to lead a tactical squad. We'll see how well I do on the rush job of them tonight!

And here is a shot of the (mostly ready) force.
