Warhammer 40k 2nd Ed - Thousand Sons rebased, Red Corsairs are arriving.

 

What's this? A 2nd Blog post.

Spoiled.

Anyway welcome too the Blog of vice and dice, putting the mid into Midhammer and feeling so Old my hammer broke.

Now progress has been made into my 2nd Ed 40k journey, heavy metal packages have been turning up and the postman is pissed

Goblin Green paint has been unlocked from the darkness of Hells Pit and has been used in anger.

So heres the rebased Thousand Sons:

Rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated

 

No fuckers I ain't dead yet.

I've tried this before coming back to the Oldhamster/Midhamster scene and it failed.

Why?

Simple, the dickheads I hate are still here and the friends I made either moved on or not quite the same, or maybe I'm not quite the same who the fuck knows.

So what's changed this time I hear to cry out to the Chaos Gods!

Well my gaming is mostly done in London these days at Wargaming stores like Dark Sphere and Bad Moon Cafe playing MESBG.

It was at one of these stores where I met a group of 40k players, but hear me out they were playing 2nd Edition with lovely bright old warhammer and they not only knew of the Oldhammer Community were active members and have get togethers!

Fuck me, I'm home.

Warhammer 40k - Crimson Sons Warband

 

Easy now boys and girls.

You remember this POST from Jan 2018?

Well I bloody finished them and had a game so yay!

Wanna see them?

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.

Oldhammer meets Kings of War - Twilight Kin Pt.3

Welcome deviants of the Lead Realm to your favourite Den of Vice and Dice.

It's been a few weeks since my last Blog post and that's just due to the weather getting and I use the scientific term here ''Fecking Cold'' and my hands not wanting to do what they'll told.

But I have managed to get a couple of games of 40k in with my Traitor Guard and painted a few more bits for my Twilight Kin.

I don't know about you feckers but I enjoy a Army shot when people are doing WIP Blogs just to show you how things are coming along so today's post is just that.

Oldhammer meets Kings of War - Twilight Kin Pt.2

Welcome boys and girls to the Den of Vice and Dice. mind your footing  though as someone forgot to put away the whips and chains.

So despite my Mother and Aunt being up from Devon taking up alot of my free time I've still managed a small amount of hobby time and most of it with the Dark Elves.

Oldhammer meets Kings of War - Twilight Kin Pt.1

Well what do we have here then?

A merging of interests I guess, as you may well know I love both WhFB3 era Dark Elves and Kings of War.

So why not combine them?

Now in KoW Evil Elves are known as Twilight Kin and in current lore (Subject to change at somepoint) are aligned with the Abyss.

So Demons and Evil Elves, whats not too love?

Now I already had some Dark Elves painted from a few years ago in a 2 tone paint scheme that I liked at the time but my paintings improved from then so needed repainting.

Time For A Change or Another Bloody Project!!

So time for something Oldhammer flavoured!

Right anyway it's been slow going with these, partly because of the sculpts being a bit plain and partly because I've 4/5 other projects wanting some paint (Including 60 Zombies reading for a giant Judge Dredd game at BOYL16).

Enough of my moaning time for pictures!

Blood Bowl: What!?-Fords Part 4 - Time for a Upgrade? Downgrade?

So along time ago ( Jan 2015), Ok not that long ago in the grand scheme of things I finished my Human Blood Bowl team the What!?-Fords which were named after my home town Watford and even used the colours of the Football Team (Yes I'm not a Football Fan but rather a Rugby Fan).

You can see what was the final post HERE

The Random Cultist Project

So while no doubt your'll be seeing a few Salute 2016 Blog posts today from various people I decided not to go (Well Ok the empty Bank Account did hehe).

So instead I've spent the day sorting out my projects and finishing up a few odds and sods for the almost completed armies (Warmaster Orcs, Abyssal Dwarfs & Evil Dead Undead).

What I did find in the back of my Hobby Draw/Lead Pile is a single sprue of Frostgrave Cultists that I picked up of Ebay around last Xmas time.

Back to War.. master?

So last Orctober I started up a LotR themed Orc army and other then a couple of games they saw little action.

I think I lost interest dew to not having much selection to choose from and despite ordering a few more bits they came too late and the bug was gone to another project.

Well all I can say there is nothing like losing your job combined with a upcoming game to give the spark back.

So the last few days I've painted up a few units and tidied up some others, plus I cleaned and prepped a few more units ready for the paint brush.
