NEW YEAR NEW ARMY

[Agemman]

Well its the start of a new year lads & time to stop the stuffing/drinking of the face & get back onto that horse that is modeling & gaming.

On this years horizon for me is the eagerly anticipated Vampire Counts which I started on today with a unit of 20 Zombies & Necromancer, just trying to get a jump on everybody before the book comes out on 23rd Feb.
Would really love to have this army ready for SOS but 2300pts of Vamps from scratch we shall see, might just need to pull out the old Druchii for one last tournament before their new army book <(rumor).

On the first half of the year on the 40K front hope to get an army finished shall name no names which one it is, but I only have two units to paint in it before the beast is unleashed.

Will try to do more on the site with pics & updates but am a busy boy.

What about the rest of you whats the plans?

time to stop the stuffing/drinking

When that stop any of you lot lol.

For me, got a lot planned

WFB - "TRY" & get my Night Goblins finish. Just a mere 2 Gaints, 7 Hoppas & Skasnik to buy. Painting front there all undercaoted & ready to go.

40k -
Termy marine force for Iron Halo Event happen in the store, just use up a lot of models I built a while ago for other project that never happen. So should have the force that 1500pts by today & get gaming over the next while.

Marine Biker force, for the GT down in Nottingham. Like to get gaming as soon as possible with any new tournament force well with in advance so I know them inside & out (usely start around x-mas time), but painting will not take place until near the summer/near end of summer (will mainly be on & off for time being).

Also got my Orks & Imperial Guards that just need a few models here & there, but that will wait until Termies are done for Iron Halo & I bought my bikes. Also wait until my college Graded Unit (exam, make model in 3 weeks) has settle down.

Just I want to try get a few armies up & running on the 40k front since all I got right now is my Black Legion & Mech Strom Troopers. Rest my armies are none gaming due to a new codex (trying find time to make them legal now) or out dated.

After that little lot, not sure will wait & see as I would like to collect Nids & for WFB Empire, but we'll wait & see as got get the above out the way first. Also college will be taken a lot of my time up with finial year (Graded unit said above & finial year project) & then try find a job with a model making company ;D Also depend how I feel near the time.

I really want to make headway with my Nurgle army for WFB. I'd like it finished in the first half of the year. After that I will spend some time trying to resist the lure of the fantastic-looking new Vampire Counts as I'd like to get my Aeronautica squadrons up and running. There is also a drawer full of Warmachine models that still need painting and I'd like to get my Cryx back on the table some time soon.

I think it would be prudent of me to paint the armies I currently have before getting a new one. Damm you Call of Duty 4.

Although on a serious note, I really would like to try and finish a good chunk of my Eldar before the month is out. A lot of it (Fire Dragons, Banshees, Scorpions, Spiders, Spears, a Vyper, 3 War Walkers, Hawks, abour 4 Harlequins and an Autarch) is either completely baseboated or at some stage close to completion and it really should take that much time to finish it off.

As for SOS, well I said to Paul that if my application for Chairman goes ahead, I'll take care of that this year so I suppose that gives me to June? before DWARF's tournament, which will hopefully see a Lion Chariot Army of Chrace come rumbling towards a battle line near you.

Those are my priorties, but with the recent release of Orks, I'm sure my Crimson Fists would like some payback (which is again, an army half painted) and I suppose I really should paint my Woodies at some point.

Not to mention a Eldar Titan, a FW Avatar and a FW Asurmen...

....but I just can't stop playing Call of Duty 4. (I need help).

probably expand on my mighty Empire army, it has 5 horses now... pretty much a full force
Paint my guard before buying any more, slowly building up and my paintstation was deasembled 2 months ago and not built up since (the laptop has stole its place)
Not much really, not yet anyway

[Big Dog]

I've got 5 weeks of doing hee haw before I go back to uni so hopefully I can get a bit of painting done only have two models to go to get my LOTR Wood Elves fully done and I'll be doing Uruk Hai for the GW rise of heroes. Want to get some VC stuff done but might wait til the re-release for that and I really should paint another Fantasy army probably do the SoC Slayers once I get them in a case.

Oh and Neil not sure if playing Guitar Hero counts as being a busy boy.

[finlayk]

I will keep making slow progress with these bretonnains in a quest to find enlightenment...

but for SOS..... you'll see soon enough

Well I got stuck into some Guard last night... build a whopping one tank So that has inspired me to get even more tanks... about 20 should do it... Might add some extras to the guard this year, like Grey Knights, just for added flavour

[primer]

spiders done.

[bjornagain]

Ok my plans for this year:

Finish and paint my company of Celestial Lion Space Marines

Paint my Warriors of Dunland army for LOTR

Paint my Knights of Dol Amroth army for LOTR

do a Warhammer Ancients Greek army

finish my Man O War fleet

Finish my Empire army

If I do that I will be happy! lol

No doubt there will be a few tournament armies thrown in plus whatever new releases GW will bring out to tempt me!

[Scott]

Not to scare any of you (mainly the staff who know my work) but I have some BIIIIIG plans laid out for an army.

However, it's top secret just now.

Let's just say that it'll be even worse than my snow Necron idea...

[Agemman]

Quick update on the Vampires.

Think the army list is more or less sorted now so time to get stuck in.

PAINTED
3 x 20 Zombies (thank god)
1 Black Coach
9 x Spirt host bases (more for the new spell deck :
Necromancer

UNPAINTED
3 x 20 Skeleton
2 x 5 Dire Wolves
20 Grave Guard
Vargulf
Corpse Cart
2 x 20 Ghouls
3 x Vampires......
2 x Wraith w/Banshee

Should finish 1 of the Skeleton units today (fingers crossed)
then it either the wolves or Ghouls.

Until next time good luck & keep painting ;D

[PaleKing]

15 Hounds all done in record time for my Nurgle army and now I'm working on 20 Plaguebearers. These are about the fastest/simplest models I've ever worked on! Green and brown washes and hardly any other details...

Not settled on an actual list as yet though. My lord in with chosen Knights is such a points sink that it just feels so wrong...
