I'm Back!

Welcome back everyone! 

Well, it's been a while since I posted, and since that time I've been very busy with moving house and not busy with hobby! Over the last few weeks I've finally got the house set up enough that I could break out the brushes again. There is a slight catch though, this is the currect state of my hobby display while i wait for shelves to arrive:

Somewhere in these boxes is about 40k worth of eldar, and a chapter of marines. Rather than go digging though all the boxes to find bikes I was working on, I just opened the first box I could find and went to work. 

It turns out, what was in that box was a bunch of 3rd company marines in Gravis armour. First up was a squad of Heavy intercessors and a lieutenant 

As much as I hated building these guys, they were actually quite fun to paint. And yes, I know a Gravis Lieutenant doesn't exist, but I wanted a full mark X company so there is a full Gravis command squad. More photos later. I followed up that squad with a second squad and Lieutenant:

Last on the painting front, I tackled the last 7 Eradicators I had unpainted:

And a group shot with the other 3:

Lastly, I snuck in a game with a regular on this blog, Ben. We decided we didn't have the enthusiasm for a highly competitive game, so I took a 3k list of the Gravis guys I'd been working on, and dug around until I found the Land speeders  while he ran a steel legion featuring 3 baneblades! It was a heap of fun, and we simplified the rules by ignoring secondaries which actually suited us great, and we will likely have more games like that in the future. I got some photos at the start, before baneblades started exploding! 

That's all for now. I've order and paid for a bunch of tanks, but yet to pick them up, so should have some photos next time.

See you then

Mark
