Millest's Wargaming Blog! It will no doubt end up becoming a place for my own odd thoughts! However its meant to start life as a Wargaming, hobby and painting blog. It will also be a book review site, a bit of a product review page, an airsoft blog and in places lots of other things, but over all I hope it will be a good read!

Random Geekery - The 40k Tick Over
Time for some of my inner geek to come out and show! Out yesterday I noticed my speedo:
I apologise now for my geekery and will now go slowly rock back and forth in a corner!
Laters peeps!

A Return.......... after a fashion!
Well Hi folks!
After what seems like an age I'm back! There has been a lot of soul searching and selling of models, components and pretty much all my 40K stuff in favour of my other expensive hobby, Airsoft, but in the end I have decided I like 40k a bit too much!
So now im back and it looks like I'm up to my old painting habits again! With new toys seeming to come out on an almost daily basis it seemed a silly time to step away. So I'm Back and over the coming weeks I hope to get more done on my various armies.
I've decided to go and concentrate on only two armies, I'm planning on completing my Imperial Guard, admittedly they still need a name, but I'm also considering a Red Hunters Space Marine force. The choice for that chapter is that it would tie in nicely for a future Inquisitional force as and when the new codecies (codexes, codexs, books!) come out.
So as a breif wake up to say I'm back and I'm starting again so keep an eye out and we'll see where this takes me.
Have fun folks!

Children of Men (and mice!)
Right ho folks time to let the cat out of the bag on this one!!
Some of you may know from my many ramblings on DAKKADAKKA that I'm planning something a little special for my Imperial Guard, so lets tell everyone some of the plans now.
As the title of the post suggests it revolves around the movie Children of Men, one of the best films of the last 10 years and without doubt a film containing one of the best military forces ever, a futuristic British Army. So as a little tribute to my favourite films I have decided the troops of my force will all be wearing the camo used in this film, something jokingly referred to as COM-PAT (of which I am lucky enough to have aquired 2 sets) which looks something like this:
Pretty slick eh? I know it looks difficult so any tips as to how to paint it would be appreciated, however i do have one slight problem. Now no bad jokes here please but I've got problems with my Helmet! Its a nice simple one, COM-PAT 0r Olive Drab. So I'm turning to you my readers for some suggestions on this too and will be running a poll on the side of the Blog (and on some of my favourite forums) until Monday evening.
Now for some test pics, I apologise about the quailty of both the photography and of the painting but both were done very quickly, so without further ado here are the contestants:
SCHEME A

SCHEME B
Now I know the quality is crap but once some of you lovely folks have made some suggestions about getting the scheme down well or at least of a reasonable quility I'm sure they will look pretty awesome! Not to mention I have some seriously cool plans for the Tanks in this force.
So remember folks please vote in my poll or I'll be forced to send these boys round:Enjoy and Come back soon for more fun and games

....And so it begins!!!!!
Hello, my names Millest and I've been playing 40k for 14 years, I've been clean for............. Ooops sorry i thought I'd got clean for a minute there!!
Well I guess not so I've finally done it, I've decided to get all the little plastic men out of the box at last and get them organised for painting. Yes thats right you heard me I am a strange little man. I've been toying (no pun intended) with the idea of starting my Imperial Guard Army again for quite sometime and the new version of Warhammer 40,000 has given me the kick to do it at last!
So this evening after not doing a lot I thought I would dig up my old Army list over on the Terra forum here:
I then got all my models out for this small 1500pt point strike force, and well......! Well see for yourselves:
Yes I really do have that much plastic! There's also a FW basilisk somewhere but havent got a clue where, its bound to be in a box somewhere.
Oh and yes someone who shall remain nameless, really loves Forgeworld and other resin add-ons:
I've ordered all my paints and am looking to be saving up for a Baneblade for this little lot, so it looks like there might be a fair bit of blogging on this project going on over the next few weeks. Also later in the week (probably thursday evening or friday morning) there may be a poll up for a few days (well till monday at least) asking you, my readers (all 3 of you) to help me decide on some final touches to the colour scheme, so prepare yourselves Folks for some badly painted test minis.
have a good 'un folks
