Whats on my desk right now...

I survived my trip to the nations capital on work, although I felt mighty crappy last night when I got in and ended up sleeping for 15 hours straight last night so I was obviously fighting something off. Didn't manage to lift a brush today, although I did manage to glue my fingers together playing with some Harlequins which told me I probably wasn't in the right state to have a crack at painting anyway.

I did get a look in at the blogs on my blog roll. The work the guys are doing on the Storm Wardens is looking good, and I've done my bit and made a contribution.

I enjoyed Miks latest post showing his workstation and 'summer painting queue' and figured I could do that (albeit it will be my winter paint queue).

The majority of my current queue is 40K related, but there is a bit of Fantasy love in there, plus the usual odds and sods.


First up is some random Marines which I need to use as place holders when I swap out different load outs, plus my Chappie with Jump Pack to run around with my Assault Squad. Also in this low is my old, beat up Land Raider, which will be on its 4th paint job I think. I am thinking of picking up a crusader variant to run alongside this one, Termies in one, and Vets in the other.


My Death Watch which now have some nice bases courtesy of a trade I made with Adz.


Some LotR reinforcements for my Battle Company which should let me swap out my Orcs for something with a bit more hitting power (that is if I ever get some points to spend upgrading my war band).


My Barbarian which is still waiting on some finishing touches.


Some more random Reaper minis which I will fit in between core jobs as a bit of fun.


The aforementioned Harlequins which I am looking forward to tackling as something completely different - actual colours. I'm excited.


And finally my WoC Marauder Horsemen. While I am on a roll with my flesh technique I thought I might give these guys a look in. I also have a few standard Warriors that need revisiting after
being knocked about a bit after a run in with a hoover and someones foot.

And that's that. I have plenty to keep me busy over the next few months or so, and there is still plenty more on the shelves.

I got a '40K in 40 minutes' game in on Tuesday night against Luke and his all Gretchin army. Lots of the little buggers with a Mek and some artillery. He castled up on both objectives in the back corner and I advanced on him with a vanilla Tac squad with a flanking Assault squad. I lost some lads to his artillery crossing the field and he actually assaulted my Assault squad which caused a laugh, managing to hold them for a turn. But ultimately his force was too fragile (even with Squigs eating the odd Grot to instill some confidence) and I got the win with bonus points for capturing both objectives.

And that's enough prattle for today.

Happy gaming all,

Cheers,
