Cojo, going ape!

Also assembled a Cojo ape from Malifaux, a great choice of xmas gift from my good friend Rune.

The hard part is going to be painting it, might try and go with the white scheme as shown on the box it came in.

Betrayal at Calth fully assembled

Finally got the whole set put together. Would have been quicker but the dreadnought and terminators had to be magnetised.

Its a great kit, plenty of nifty bits leftover from the standard marines to go into the bits box.

Now I just need some dry weather to get them spray undercoated.

Setting the scene - more DZ terrain for 40K

Got round to assembling some more mantic deadzone terrain, got a good variety of shapes and sizes, still some detailing and greeblies to be added, but they are good enough to go on a tabletop.

AvP has delivered, is it a christmas miracle?!?!??!

Got home today and found a delivery note from UPS, wasn't expecting a delivery. Went and picked it up and it was quite a large box with a smaller one attached, very perplexed by it...


Got back home and cut it open, well I am very surprised! The Prodos AvP kickstarter has finally delivered!!!!!!!!!!


I am so surprised I'll say it again, Prodos have delivered the AvP kickstarter, which I originally backed 24 November 2013 with an estimated delivery of May 2014. Having delivered 19 December 2015 its only 19 months overdue.
 I wouldn't have minded the overrun if Prodos had communicated openly with the backers about the delays, and hadn't sold the games & minis at retail before delivering to all backers.


The package has an apology letter and coupon for 25% off when/if I order from the Prodos website. I doubt I will order anything else from them, as given the delays and the way they have treated backers I am not sure I want to give them any more of my money.

Stencilled Nightscythe

Had another go at the top plate on my brothers Necron nightscythe (luckily its not glued on), used a brush 4 hire hex stencil, a couple of shades of green sprayed on first, then black through the stencil. Given the curved shape 3 hands would have been useful. Overall am happy with the effect though.

Mantic landing pad

Made the time to assemble the landing pad from Mantic games. Its a good kit with some nice features, mainly being how easy it was to put together.

The kit comes with only a picture to guide assembly, but the idea of the Mantic scenery is that it can go together in many different ways so that's no real issue. On the other hand I don't think there are enough connectors to make the example as shown on the packaging.

Assembled its quite large, approx. 12" x 12", and the platform is 3" above the ground, the space marine & stormraven show how it scales. The support legs are a snug fit so I haven't glued them to make it easier for storage. Also I assembled it in halves so it can be used as a generic platform if wanted.

As usual there are a good few bits left over like a comms dish and laser cannon as well as some barricades, am sure I can find a use for them.

Tau Ghostkeel assembled

Got the new Ghostkeel assembled. The instructions were ok but could have been clearer, also I think some of the parts were misnumbered but muddled through it. Magnetised all the weapon options. Left off the thigh & shoulder armour to paint them separately.

The cockpit flips down and am undecided as to gluing it shut or magnetising it as the lower half is very loose, and the upper half doesn't lift very far. Might greenstuff a magnet to hold the lower half shut
