Hello,

I know my update schedule is.. umm... dreadful. However, there is plenty left to do, except I am moving to Dundee early September to do a Masters there. As such, everything is packed up, and there will be no modelling or painting done until mid-to-late September.

See you later!

As my Wood Eldar army are completely converted and almost primitive and bow-themed, I took for my main troops to the upgraded rangers, aka the Pathfinders.

I used Wood Elf models as the base, mixed with Eldar Guardians. The torso and legs were cut at all the joints and then pinned with bent wire to put them in the correct positions. Then wood-elf heads with hoods, plus cloaks and arms were added to the models. I added a small power cable from the armlet to the bow to add an element of technology to the weapon and placed them on very overdone pieces of scenery. I filled in the gaps and joints with green stuff and remodelled details where they had been lost....

I know that this Blog is under Painting/Modelling, however I am going to go off-topic again just to add in my current 1,500 point army list for 40k. As I have a terrible memory, I like to have everything written down and the rules set out after my army list, for that time I get Aura of Acquiescence mixed up with Transfixing Gaze (like the last time I played :P) or can't remember what Furious Charge does again.

Warning: This is long.

Partly for my own reference, and for anyone who reads this to look forward to, a short list of things that I need to finish doing on my Obscuras Daemons army. I will write up a similar list for Wood Eldar sometime. The side-projects can go hang until I get really bored :D.

• Get the last few models that I need for my army: 1 Screamer, 1 Seeker of Slaanesh and 2 Horrors.

Funnily enough, I managed to get a single Seeker, who have been as rare as gold recently (and going at similar prices), and a blister pack of old Horrors (so I can buy three and have 1 extra, instead of buying a whole pack and having loads extra) is on eBay, waiting for me to snap it up. It's the Screamer I've been having huge problems with. I can't seem to find any blister packs for a Screamer. As I already have four and want a fifth for my army, this is annoying me. I've put it as a Saved Search on eBay, so here's fingers crossed....

Shadow, ice, darkness, fear. I took the general theme of choosing three colours for your army, a base, a complement and an accent. I chose black as my base (obviously), white as the complement, and blue as my accent. Silver was favoured for metallic over golds to keep the colour scheme as cool as possible.

Shadowphytes

For the generic warriors of Obscuras, I chose Horrors as the base and for the rules. I filled in the gaping mouth with green stuff and then drilled a hole into the top of their "head", before affixing a dryad head onto the model. More green stuff was used to give the dryad a neck and base of the skull. The model was painted black, then drybrushed grey. It's eyes were painted bright blue, with white freehand tribal markings across its face. It's horns were painstaking blended from black to white at the tips of its horns and its claws were drybrushed a dark silver. It was finished with a gloss coat of varnish....
