Well.... okay. I'll be modest, but I really don't think 'm going to get this done.

Put me down for;
2 Swooping Hawks
1 Vyper Jetbike
Man: Er... excuse me?
FMG: Yes? I am a doctor, you know.
Man: I was just wondering...
FMG: Get on with it. I'm a Doctor. My time is precious.
Man: Well, it's just...
FMG: My god, man, do you even know what that word means? Let me spell it out: D O C T OR. 6 years of medical school. A PhD.
Man: Look I really...
FMG: I'm the person who makes this whole hospital work...
Man; Look mate, you're  going to have to give me 50p for that paper or get out.

The wraithlord is finished. A CC weapon will be added to him once the bits arrive, but for now, he's done. And he looks completely, utterly, deranged. And I love it.

I'll get pics up tomorrow, but its 2:30 am and I've been painting for about 8 hours. He's sexy.

Okay, I'll go for a 5 man squad of swooping hawks. I'll also try take care of a 5 woman banshee squad if I get a wriggle on.

Pictures of my Wraithlord Project, COMPLETED!
Had to finish it quick,  I leave in one week for a month to do an internship up in Nova Scotia. He took me 15 hours or so to complete, this was my first decently major conversion.

Only working maybe an hour or so every day, this is what I've got so far.




The first shot was before I started working on it last night.

grey knight marines around 40% done. i decided not to paint my grey knights in the traditional silver so have been doing them the same colours as DB_Reapers 'prodigal sons' space marine chapter (fluff to follow in the inquisitor section of the site) so theyre a dark red with a few gold, white and black bits. i just have to read the sticky to learn how to post my pictures. they should be on tomorrow.

Cancel the LRC in my vow, I can't afford it this month (can you ever justify buying a LRC?). I'll still do the chappie though.

Ebay and bartertown, I got a LRC assembled but unpainted with the forgeworld upgrades for my daemonhunters, along with 11 grey knights. All for 90 usd. Normally thats more like 175 dollars.

Check around is my suggestion for anyone buying models, even if you want new, unpainted, unassembled things you can usually find them, it just takes longer. Always a good option if money is an issue.

I finished last months vow, and this months, hurrah!

Now when I get back from my field work in august I'll have to do that one too.. hopefully.
