End of the year eh?

So what a shitty year 2017 has been for the Chico Household. Losing 2 jobs, Illness and Hospital visits.

Though it has been a great year for your favourite Blog of Vice and Dice.

Beyond the Gates of Antares - Hükk Bounty Hunter Mercenary

Welcome back to dank dark underweb of my pit, hope you had a good holiday and got to stuff many a turkey.

So this year like most my other half was working thoughout so I left alone for hours on end.. So whats a Chico too do?

Yuppers, you guessed it: look at por... I mean paint, honest.

First to be finished is Hükk Bounty Hunter Mercenary and his wee pets.

Beyond the Gates of Antares - Ghar Rebels Pt.4: Army Shot

Welcome denizens of the underwebs to the Den of Vice and Dice.

Been awhile seen I've done a update post on my Rebel Ghar as after burning out trying to get them painted for the Warlord HQ Bootcamp Event last September and failing I was burnt out.

Now the urge has come back to finish them despite a few hiccups (I went to Dark Sphere in London with the plan to buy a few Ghar bits, I ended up walking out with a the start of a new 40k army instead.. Feck).

This is everything currently finished, I still have some more stuff to paint (And buy) including a Hukk Bounty Hunter and Pets and some more cannon fodder.

Beyond the Gates of Antares - Herts Shard Demo Game

So tonight I had the opportunity to run a Demo game of Gates at Watford Wargames Club.

Rather than being somewhat sensible and making 2 lists (I hate list making) I grabbed what looked like the most interest units which would give a good overview of the rules.

Cookie Monster is my opponent.

Warhammer 40k: Crimson Sons Warband

The Crimson Sons are a warband of Chaos Space Marines dedicated to the Chaos God Tzeentch that was originally formed by members of the Thousand Sons Traitor Legion. 

The Crimson Sons warband was exiled by its Primarch Magnus the Red for aiding in the casting of the disastrous sorcerous ritual known as the Rubric of Ahriman. 

Despite this exile, the warband paid tribute to the Crimson King, their Primarch Magnus the Red, with their name and also by colouring their Power Armour a deep red.

Wow it's been awhile eh? 

Have I been busy?

 Nope, I just had a complete lack of hobby mojo and the bits I have finished being a smattering of Renegade Guardsmen.

Still yesterday I did have a hobby surge when I fancied trying out a new basing style I spotted on Miniwargaming Youtube channel... Cork.

Now I fecking hate basing, hate it and of late I have gone for resin bases to negate the problem but adds extra expence and added time waiting for them to be delivered unless you have a stock of them.

So I needed something to base and a quick rummage in my ''One day I'll paint these'' draw and I turned up 5 Thousand Son Marines from the end of the RT days and early 2nd Ed 40k.
