Where's that High Elf wizard on the left from?
Don't think I've seen that mini before.

Hey everyone, no new pics yet. The skeletons and Havocs are almost there.

I do have some pics of a battle between Space Orks and my mate's Eldar.

@nedsta, thanks I do my best.
@Napalm, thanks the O&G are a favorite of mine too. The idea of the banner was inspired by someone else his log. Although his was pointing down. Kinda changed that a bit.
@EmperorNorton, I asked my friend, according to him it's a generic high elf wizard done by Jes Goodwin in a time long ago. Not by a particular company.

So last thursday we played a battle between Eldar and Orks. We had a nice table with a large trench system. We played 1115 points. The game was really great. All units were able to claim objectives and there were four of them.
The battle really went both ways. We both got into each others deployment zones and managed to scare each other away again. For me the killa kans did wonders in paricular, his unit of the match have to be the warp spiders with autarch. Anyway some pictures to give an impression:

Hey everyone,

just a small update. Quickly finished the skeleton spearmen. I now have a unit of 30. Might not deploy them all the time but it gives me some extras in case I raise some during a battle.

A week from now I'll start a bigger project. I'll get the keys to my new house. Updates will be even less frequent for a while as you will understand.

Moving does have the advantage that you find stuff again. I found part of my old BFG fleet. I'm considering if I should give it a whole new paint job or if I will just upgrade the existing one. Maybe add a few sails to the kroozers, to get a more freebooter theme? Now I just have to find the box with the rest of the fleet, but hey.. all in due time, enjoy.

Those skellingtons are rather nice. The red really pops, while the light blue gives them a somewhat ethereal quality.

[bravey]

That Bat-rep SCREAMS awesome! The brightness on the eldar and the orks together makes my eyes steam, not that that is at all a bad thing! Keep it up on the tight VC skeletons, to!

[biginbelgium]

Thanks mr emperornorton and Bravey. That was kinda the effect I was hoping for. I still have my doubts on the color scheme for the skellingtons. But en masse they look good enough.

I signed up for the tale of 40k painters. I'll be painting around 1500 points of Blood Angels.
First wip is a Dreadnought with plasma cannon.

Hey everyone,

just finished a unit Havocs for the Hakanor Reavers. Not my best models, but i was distracted and didn't take time to do all the details.
Also a wip foto for my ghouls. They now have the same color as my feral vampire. Enjoy!







cheers

Evening everyone,

just a quick fix for you guys. Was at a mates house the other day and I took some pictures with my phone. These are my archenemies the daemon prince Inxentas and his right hand Captain Belial. They are old models my mate uses in his Night Lords army. Can't keep track of the times I slayed that Daemon Prince. He must have the worst luck in the whole 40k universe.
My other mates Space marine army has a veteran sergeant in it with a thunder hammer. That sergeant alone has banished the DP at least on five occasions where i was a witness! haha. Also some wip pictures of my mates Tau commander.
Very dynamic model as it blows up stuff and jetpacks through fire and all.

My ghouls are nearly done, tommorow pictures i promise.













cheers
Tim

Wow, impressive painting, i love the way all of your armys are done i would love to start a plog like yours but i still need to practice my freehand xD

btw, do you convert any models?

[Daniel36]

If only I possessed your perseverance... I would have had 10 10,000 point armies....

[biginbelgium]

@thedigitalflip, thanks man, looking forward to more blogs. I must admit I'm not really into converting. I do the usual greenstuffin and bitswappin but unless I allready have a model painted up from the box I'm not a big converter.

@Daniel36, thanks mate, allthough I wish I had your terrain building skills. I could do with some nice scenery.That will change in a few months time I hope. Just bought a new house and I'm looking forward to my new gaming room

So I finished the Ghouls. It's a unit of 30 with a vampire. Really quick paint job. Lots of washes, I just wanted to get this unit done. Also a new wip. I've started working on some warbikes so that I will have a unit of 6 in the future.







Cheers
Tim

The exploding barrels behind the battlesuit are fantastic. Great job. Is it part of a larger diorama?

Wow you've painted a lot of mini's! i only wish i had your motivation.
Some of these models have very nice paint jobs, espechially your later stuff.
Your mate tau commander is awesome!

[biginbelgium]

@theimp, thanks my friend aprecciates the comments on his Tau. finaly he is motivated to start painting again, i have a hard time to get him from behind his xbox when I visit.
@Yayale, thanks man, I do my best ( most of the time)

Ha die Rob, haha was leuk om je weer eens te zien, het kriebelt wel om weer eens naar de clubavond te komen. We zullen wel eens afspreken om een battle te doen zeker?

So I haven't completed anything but I thought a wip picture would be nice. Painting up three more warbikers. Probably finish them tonight.
The blood angel dread is comming along nicely. Although it still needs a lot of work, anyway...



cheers
Tim

[thedigitalflip]

Awesome work, your orks are really inspiring and i enjoy seeing what you get done!

[biginbelgium]

Thanks thedigitalflip, Orks are also my favorites most of the time.

So no updates on the painting front yet. But I played a cool 40k battle yesterday and we have taken some pictures. Why not a small rundown of the game with some pics to go.

We played the Strongpoint attack scenario from an old rulebook I think. It is one of the raid scenarios, with the cool rules for sentries. The object of the scenario is the control bunkers but we changed that into one objective. A secret inquisition laboratory where they work on new weapons that use alien technology. In this case make a sort of wraithcannon usable for humans.

I played my witch hunters and my friend played attacker with eldar.

My list was something like this:
-Inquisitor Lord with retinue and some nifty psychic powers
-3 death cult assassins
-Eversor assassin
-6 arco flagellants
- a priest with 9 arbiters in a rhino
- 2 stormtrooper squads in chimeras
- 3 penitent engines.

His list:
-Karandras with scorpions
-5 pathfinders
-2 jetbike squads
-10 swooping hawks
-6 wraithguard in a wave serpent
-3 warwalkers
-2 fire prisms

anyway something like that. I deployed the retinue with inquisitor near the objective and the arbiters in the rhino slightly behind as a fast reserve.
He started with the pathfinders and the scorpions infiltrating. The rest we kept in reserve.
The alarm was sounded pretty soon because his snipers failed to wound my sentry. Karandras stormed the inquisitor and the objective in the centre.
In short my army arrived pretty fast from reserve. He had a bit bad luck and arrived piece-meal. Combined assault made short work of Karandras. Cool stuff was a penitent engine use his Heavy flamers to make short work of the swooping hawks. The Eversor managing to get away with the objective and the Wraithguard actually winning close combat with the arco flagellants.

Anyway here is a few pics:

What is that sneaking in the background?
