Drones for the Greater Good

I've created a squadron of drones now. Six of them little buzzing things. They remind me of an old movie called "Batteries Not Included." Well, they kind of remind me of it. Whatever! They're all painted up now and ready to fight for the greater good! Whether they register such logic or not.

Incoming Eldar Air Transport!

Incoming! It's another jet plane! This one however is far bigger than those other ones I painted up a month ago. This guy is meant to carry in the troops and drop them off into battle, as well as blow shit up on the way in. He was pretty cool, and fairly easy to assemble. There wasn't really anything complicated about this guy, which made him a relaxing vehicle to paint.

The Start of a New Army

And so I've finished yet more little dudes. I've picked up a new army box now, and as a test I put together the fire warriors and started painting those first. I really love this army, and their style. The iconic long barrel rifle is just awesome, and they all look so "techy" too which is a lot of fun. For a first, these guys are ok. I've learned a number of things now, and I want to test out some of these new thoughts on the paint colors with maybe a few of the drones in the box. So, those might be the next guys you see. Either them, or stealth suits.

Nightwings

 

Aeronautica Imperialis, is the new game around the office. Well, maybe not the office. It's the new game between my friend and me now. He arrived from Norway, and said "Greg! Look at this new awesome game! Yes! Planes! MUST PLAY! PLAY NOW! MUST NOW PLAY!" So, what did I do? I dumped money into airplanes! So here I have 3 eldar planes. There were 4, but you see, this monster by the name of ghost swiped one from the skies and devoured it! Ok, maybe not devoured, more like bat it around the house, removed its wings and tail fins, and was in the process of trying to get the elf inside but I stopped him before that. So, we have three.

Teh Monkeh!

In a DND campaign I'm participating in, with that blue lizard named Kroxigan, most the other people in the group started picking up models as well. Afterall, you get experience for having a model! However, something strange happened. It was kinda nice, an honour in a way? To understand where I come from, well, I browse a lot of art work in a day and see what people get "commissions" for. To be honest, I don't EVER feel my work is worth the money. Don't take that as me saying what I do is "terrible" or "bad." I certainly don't think what I can do isn't amazing! It is, truly, but I never feel it's payment worthy. Therefore, I get really terrified when someone plops down a model and money to paint something! I mean... I really hope I delivered.

Smooth Riding

The next group is done, and I enjoyed painting these guys. Will I use them in an army? I don't know honestly, I may, but I'll need a whole lot more than 3 guys if I intend to do that. Maybe for my 500 point games, maybe, but I feel they're a little wasted. However, they're looking pretty sweet I think!

Buildings, finally.

I finished. Or more accurately, I've gotten so sick and tired of these things that I'm saying I'm done now even though they aren't at top notch. I think the next time I do any other "building" project, I'm going to make sure I build it in pieces that are easier to paint and I'm not going to spend as much time as I have on these guys to make them at least look ok. I say these guys, I suppose it's really just one, but ya. I'm so tired.
