Beep.........Beep,Beep............Beep,Beep,Beep...............

Way back in the mists of time (or the late 80`s early 90`s). My first dabble with GW was with space hulk, I remember it well my first few games were very tense affairs. 
As time went on i got my own copy of the game, and with one of my friends played through it all again. 
But times change and my friend had my copy of space hulk.


Fast forward to 2009 and GW announce the 3rd edition of space hulk, with my brain running 90 to the dozen i order my copy with out even knowing what it contains..............
it arrived and i was impressed but know its a stand alone game no supplements. Most of the rules from deathwing are included.


But what has any of this got to do with today?
Well on my quest to sort out my stuff i`ve come across some old 2nd edition terminators, and the  rules, boards, and counters from the 1st edition of the game (i picked up a copy from eBay) , as well as a ton of genestealers
i fancy getting in a few games in just for old times sake. 
My terminators were painted up as black templers but time has not been good to them. they`ve been stripped and will be ready for painting soon.

A blast from the past..............................

Well with October nearing an end (this year is slipping by really fast) and with my laptop dying just after my last post..........

Any way my laser cut wild west buildings turned shortly after my last post, and well what can i say they are fantastic detail is great and they hold together with out glue.
with a little bit of work they will be great additions to any wargaming table.
I will post some pictures as soon as i get my laptop back up to speed, and recovered all the lost files.

On a side note i`ve been sorting through my stuff and have been i n the process of making my collection of books smaller, Along the way i came across my Necromunda models and books. Some years ago i started a reboot of my necromunda models, most of which i bought when the game first came out (1995) alas other projects got in the way and most of them have made it to my new life. some on the other hand have not made it like my ash wastes nomads and the 1st edition redemptionists.

Oh well i guess i will have to try and get hold of them again, but I would like to convert some of the gangs into plastics........

well its time to grab my bolter, holster my chain sword and venture into the grim dark under-hive in search of fame and fortune...............................

Saddle up pardner……………

Well September has been and gone. We had a late summer here in the UK (the last time I remember one of those was when necromunda was released all those years ago)

I've finished off my daleks and a few other bits and bobs. And whilst looking for some other models I've come across my wild west models from black scorpion miniatures. I've devided them up in to 4 groups at the moment they are
Cowboys.
Outlaws.
Mexicans.
Lawmen.
I also have some apaches as well but not enough to do anything with.

Looking around the Internet I found several different sources for wild west terrain. From print it your self to resin models. I also came across laser cut mdf buildings that can be flat packed away when you have finished with them, when they turn up I shall write a review for them and post it on here.

Now as the sun sets I shall journey out into the desert for one last time...............

No rest for the wicked........................

Well its been a busy month for me, and I`ve had no time to work on my Doctor who models at all this month.
But i have been able to catch up on some reading and have read 7 of the doctor who novels that cover the 9th and 10th doctors. as well as 1 from the 7th and 1 from the 8th doctors.

I`ve also decided to move with the times and have purchased a kindle e-reader. I had to do something as I was forever taking countless book away with me when I go away. now i just have to get some books to put on it...............

As a side note i picked up the last of the companions that i needed as well as some Draconians, Cybermen and some Gallifrey guards. hopefully i will be able to start these next week (with any luck)..............

Exterminate Part 2.............................

Well I`ve been working slowly through my Daleks, and they are nearly ready for basing them up. I have to say they do look ten times better than they did when i painted them up 12-13 years ago.

I also have some Hassle-free aliens that will be ready soon. Which will add some new different villains for the doctor to do battle with.

Also as a side note any one who is in the UK will know of the terrible riots that griped the country earlier this month. One of the buildings that was looted and destroyed was the sony distribution centre in enfield. As a lot of stock was held their a large amount of Dr Who DVD`s have been destroyed making many of them hard to find in the shops at the moment (HMV stores excluded as some of the Dr who classic boxed sets are £40 and single DVD`s £20).

That`s it for now time to finish of those daleks

More Dr Who models.................
