Has been a crazy few weeks. Not that I have a ton of time for hobby progress but I have been on kiddo duty in the evenings the last 2 weeks which has cut my normal hour of hobby time in the evening down to nearly zero. (hence the lack of blog updates) Last night I was able to get the shoulder pads tied up on 6 marines in my first tactical squad.
They are looking quite sharp, though I hope they go to Finecast soon, the moulds on these guys seems to be extremely hit and miss. One pad looks great like it should the next looks like a hammer was taken to the emblem. This is only noticeable upon close inspection but it still is aggravating. These six pads took about 2 hours to complete, and I just want to thank GW for the foundation white paint it is a life saver.
There is still a ways to go on these guys and I need to get rolling on the remainder of the squad but I am excited about how they have popped with just the shoulder pads being completed.
On another note my Grey Knight army is for sale. My son is on a rampage and I really only have room enough to protect one army at a time, I have also largely stopped playing them as I felt they were a bit too "easy" to win with.
The extra cash will help around the home with some improvements that need to be made and to fund the current scars project. They are a great army they look good, have nearly maxed out painting points in multiple events and have led me to multiple tournament wins. Check out my picasa albums and CMON linked at the top right for more pictures.
Here is the link and they will get their own post tomorrow.
