Team battles

The rules are simple-

One team, two players. One HQ, minimum one troops choice. 1Kpts each General.

So I am Blood Angels and teamed up with Space Wolves, and we have been pretty happy thus far.

I am making a team themed display board for our armies. I am starting today, and I will try and update here regularly. The reason is this is a series of team games based on all aspects of the hobby. We did well in the two other categories, second in generalship and first in sportsmanship, but lost on one merit- painting and theme. So. it is up to me to get to work. And I shall- starting today.

So watch for updates and give me feedback.

Thanks!

WIP for today

I have gained some ground on the many projects I have in the shop at the moment, but what I really need to do is just sit and paint paint paint! I have some terrain I am going to paint up this afternoon as well as some airbrush work on the Wave Serpent. Maybe I will take some photos and put up on here. Anyone have any advice on getting good close up pics of miniatures with a point-and-shoot camera? Any advice anyone has would be helpful, my little digicam is not that great for taking pics of minis it seems....

WIP

I am sorry I do not have any pics yet-

But tonight I worked on hills and other terrain for the store, Gamer Gambit, and am trying to get three terrain boards with hills and other stuff done by the tournament while cranking on my army.

Magnetized and primed/ sub- assembled one Ball Pred tonight. Going to do the other Friday- Saturday. Yeah, I know.... and I plan to paint it too!

I am trying hard for Best Painted Army, but I doubt I will get it with so little time. I mean I could proxy my Blood Ravens for Blood Angels and have a shot, but that is just dishonest...

Here is my 1750 point list. Light on troops, I know, but I am hoping that if the Assault Marines are slaughtered I can at least contest with so much Fast Armor!

Actually, I feel kinda naked without my Land Raider. But- I digress. Here is the list:

Here is a potential BA list- taking advantage of the rhino-chassied vehicles as much as I can (limited by the models I own now) for a tourney this Sunday- REMEMBER- I am limited to the models I own, so it is not ideal. I have a LOT of troops choices, but they seem to bog me down.

Thanks for any feedback.

Now- tell me all the ways I am screwing up !

PAINT! I NEED TO PAINT!

For my birthday I recieved a Chaos Space Marine Battle Force, which means I have over three hundred models waiting for me to finish painting them. I think it is about time I got started.

I use the assembly line method because when you are fdone with a goup, it is that much more satisfying, in my humble opinion. Looking at a whole line of mini's all brightly painted and ready for war is one of my favorite parts of this hobby.

BUT- it is kind of daunting, having SO MANY models to try and finish. I find it hard to motivate sometimes. It just seems overwealming, you know what I mean?

Anyway, the other bit of news I have is this: I have a fully updated version of Final Cut Pro for me to edit my videos on so I can finally (hopefully) start posting some vids of my work and putting them online.
