Ramblings from the 'Sire

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Hi all again,

First off, its getting time for me to think about packing up for xmas!

Such is the nature of a postal business that you cant really trade right up until the last minute, so rather than disappoint customers trying to get hold of xmas presents, Ill probably put a note up on the site warning everyone that anything ordered now may not arrive in time for the big day!

I think its better to do that than mess someones xmas up.

But I'm still here of course for everyone else to get great warhammer bargains.

Ok - so what have I been up to you ask....

Got a big game planned for the 2nd of Jan so I've been busy getting troops ready for that. I'm going to field a Daemons army (fantasy), but only have one model ready for it at the moment - although that's a Blood Thirster at around 400 plus points !

I've just brought myself a mass of Blood Letters, so they all have to be assembled and painted, plus some others bits and bobs.

To aid me in this project - as time is short and I am lazy - I've also gone and got one of them Citadel spray gun thingies. I have not used it yes, so Ill post in the near future how it performs. I used to use spray guns to paint cars for a living, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it handles.

My plan is too spray the deamons blood red and then go over them again with a red wash from the citadel wash set. I'm going to be using the GW blood red paint, so Ill have to experiment with mixing it to a good level to come out of the gun ok.

I usually undercoat my figures black to start off, but as Im going with blood red all over at first, I may skip the black undercoat - could make the red too dark anyway.

But just in case, I'll spray up a couple of test figures just in case, one with black undercoat and see how they compare.

Finish of with a little dry brushing and some detail work, and Bob should be me uncle, as they say.

I shall of course, be posting pictures of the big new years battle on me site.

TTFN - Steve
