Painting Table Update

In an effort to put off working on anything else that I should be doing, you get a post!

Lets start off with the Red Scorpions. Ive got Loth basecoated with a dark blue, and will be moving onto a lighter blue for the armor soon. The rest of the new Red Scorpions are still sitting in their primer. Ive not gotten around to ordering more shoulder pads yet, and likely wont until mid-month. Still havnt decided on how I will equip the last three models for my command squad.

My Empire army is in a box, in the storage room. I got the halberdiers up to the white drybrush and lost all interest. I might pick them back up sooner or later, then again, I might not. Ive been looking at Skaven a bit more lately. I like the look, and the feel of the army, but I am still not sure about all that brown.

STATUS: Stalled/Dead

Black Legion. Ive got a Black Legion army, have I mentioned it before? Im sure I have... Its over 4k points of fully painted goodness, and has actually won Best Painted at a tournament I went to WAAAYY back when (when? 5 years or so). What does this have to do with anything? Well, I am getting my sis-in-law to take decent photos of it, then I will be selling it. I havnt decided whether I want to post it on eBay or try to sell it through the blog, or even though the Bartertown or whatever... Ill let you all know. Im planning on using the funds to either add to the Red Scorpions, or maybe something new. ;)

STATUS: Circling the drain.

WarmaHordes, Malifaux, and other games are starting to look more interesting, and with the Bunker no longer being the base for most of my wargaming needs, there is less reason to hold back. Ive almost decided to back-burner my Cryx, though I havnt decided whether to start Cygnar or Gatormen minions. I do want to work on them more now, though.

STATUS: Gaining steam.

Actual gaming... Havnt done any of that since the last time DT and I played WarmaHordes (which I never got around to posting about, whoops! Suffice to say, I got stomped!). I really need to get around to that soon, before we get another Snowpacalypse.

Online gaming. Yeah, I am still addicted to WoW, but Ive been messing with Blood Bowl more lately. Havnt gotten Legendary yet, but soon!

Just a bit of stuff

Been almost two weeks since Ive had a real post, weird... Lets see, what have I been working on?

I picked up Bloodbowl for the PC, and Ive been having a blast with it. My computer is a bit slow, so Ive gotta play with the graphics turned down, but even then its amusing all around. :)

I finally got around to working on some of my Cadians. Pulled out a platoon of them, and got the green all finished over the weekend. Hopefully this week Ill get the skin, boots, and weapons done, then I can decide exactly how Ill be painting the shoulder pads.

Ive been considering working on Space Wolves for a long while now. Ive always liked their look and background, but always found something else Id rather work on at the time. Well, last week I was about to say screw it and start making plans to have some Wolves lined up for when the book hit... then I saw these. Hrm. Right now I think my plan is to pick up 3-4 boxes of the current Grey Hunters, and save the Space Wolf bits for when the new ones come out, cuz you can never have too many bits.... But its almost official that they will be my next new army. Kind of a perfect opposites match with my Red Scorpions.

Now I need to figure how Im going to make them different, and figure out of Im going to make a new Wolf Lord, or go with one of the special characters. Normally an easy answer, but Im actually considering building it around Ragnar Blackmane... We will see as more rumors pour out.
