Happy Birthday to Me

 

 

So I’ve had another birthday, and for the first time ever I was hoping I wouldn’t get any new miniatures (not really).

Most of my friends and family know I play miniature games, so I can usually expect a couple of nice new toys for my birthday, and this year I was not disappointed.

Firstly my daughter picked me up some Ork Lootas, which is brilliant as they are exactly what I needed to finish off the unit of ten Lootas I’ve already got . So that was a win straight off.

Next my mate James picked me up some new miniatures of Space Dwarves with dachshunds (yes you read that right), by the great Bob Olley.

Check out his Scrunts on his website:

Some of you will know I have a Forge Father army, which I use as proxy Space Wolves, and I will use these guys as something cool in my army. What I will us e them for in the army is another question as yet unanswered.

James also gave me some brush restorer and preserver cream, called the Original B&J “The Masters” Brush and Cleaner & Preserver:

 Now I’m not the best at looking after my brushes, I freely admit that, so I’m looking forward to giving the old sticks a bit of TLC and seeing how the brush restoring cream does.

I’m going to add the new miniatures to the big list, so I think I’m now about 75% of the way through the list

As I said previously I have been working a lot on my Orks at the moment, but I promised BJ and the boys at 40K Global that I would let them have first show for all the models I paint for their AOA challenge. So don’t think I haven’t been working away there are many more Orks to come, and I look forward to posting them up.

 

Grymn in Powered Armour

Some of you will know that I have a Mantic Forge Fathers army, that I play as proxy Space Wolves.

I have been trying to find the right models to use as proxy models for Lone Wolves in Terminator Armour, and I found these wonderful models from Hasselfree Miniatures:

Well I picked these chaps up at Salute and after painting and pining them to some new larger bases, they are ready for battle.

I was pleased with the simplicity of the colour scheme; orange armour, with blue for the visor and leadbelcher for the weapons it’s really simple but great.

I’m so pleased with these models.

It’s great when you find just the right model to fill a particular role in your amry, and they are a great sculpt and then your paint job works out well too, it’s awesome

I’m really happy with these guys, and I would recommend buying some of these for anyone with a Forge Fathers army, or who just like great models.

I would recommend checking out Hasselfree Miniatures range as they have some great stuff.
