Helms Deep!

Adrian, Craig and myself from Ready-to-run-models in East Grinstead, bought this little beauty from ebay over the weekend. 

Its a 4'x4' table of the famous Helms deep featured in the Lord of the Rings -The Two Towers.

This table has fully hinged doors and flaps along with a moving gantry. Its all scaled perfectly for the Games Workshop LOtR range.

Here are some pics to show it off.

Little Howard says you shall not pass!!!

New toys

I just got my Games Workshop delivery from ready-to-run-models in East Grinstead. Its the next 750 points for my Ulthwe army to make it up to 1500 points.

Here is a taster before I get sticking and painting.

Ulthwe Update

Ok, its time time for a small update on my Ulthwe. I have finished the Guardian defender squad and have assembled the Storm Guardians. 

Ive yet to do the bases but i will do them when all the "core" troops are finished. 

I have also decided to up the army size to 1500pts and im hoping for a delivery of the rest of the models from ready-to-run-models today :)

Eldar Ulthwe

Ok I wanted to start a small army to play with at Ready-to-Run-Models in East Grinstead. There is a lot of choice from the Gamesworkshop 40K range, but I finally decided on Eldar.

Ever since the Eye of Terror campaine came out ive like the look of Ulthwe Eldar so I thought i would give it a go and do a 750pt army.

Here is my first few models.

Crew Finished

Ok here are the promised pics of the crew.

I got the plasticard tubing fror the spend shell cases from Ready to run models in East Grinstead.

Stormlord Crew

Im really happy with my stormlord but I think I need some crew for the heavy stubbers. So I've made two gunners for it.

They are made from mixing the Cadian and Jungle fighters Game Workshop figures.

I hope to be painting them tonight so I should have some pics up soon.

Stormlord Finished

Ive just finished the new stormlord model from Games Workshop and I must say im a little bit in love with it. The kit is amazing and went together like a dream. Its much better than the FW banblades and a lot more detailed.

Ive had a couple of emails from peeps who have read my blog and wanted images of the troop compartment so ive tried to include a few angles that GW have not shown yet.

I can't wait to get this down to Ready to Run models in East Grinstead and play some Apocalypse games.

Imperial Guard Video

Ive made a video of my Imperial Guard army and put it on Youtube. This is a first for me so im sure my next one will be better.

Stormlord

I got my new stormlord kit today so I can get my Guard army up to 3000 pts. I already have a baneblade at is a Forge World one. I must say that Games workshop have out done them selves and the kit is amazing with no less than 6 different tank options in the one box.

Ive gone for the stormlord as I love the idea of 30 st 6 ap 3 shots per turn!

Ive now finished building it, it took almost 4 hours as there are so many parts and its huge!

I will post pics of it when its painted. I hope to have it finished soon so I can get a huge apocalypse game at Ready to Run models in East Grinstead.

Flock it!

Ive finished one tile now only 5 more to do!

Painting the gaming board

Today i started painting my new gaming board, here are some WIP shots of my progress.
