We've been a bit pre occupied

Right we haven't really kept up with the blog well since Christmas. This is a group issue as we haven't really kept an eye on each other and pushed them to keep posting. To solve this, I propose we have a schedule as to when we will post just to make things easier to keep track off.

Since my last post I've been active but not nearly active enough. I've had a tone of work to get done, 10000 words in essays... I haven't painted any more Salamanders yet, which is a real shame, but I have built the assault ram and one of he predators I got for Christmas. I've decide that I am going to strip all the models down and start again, as I'm not happy with the way the base coat has actually applied to the models, and will go down a pure GW paint scheme this time round.

Although I haven't been painting Salamanders, I have been painting some stuff. I was fortunate enough for my Uncle to offer to buy me some stuff from Forge World, the outcome being an Emperor's Children force being born. I am currently nearly fully painted on my two 20 man tactical squads with a couple of surprise units being processed at Forge World right now, more about those when they arrive! I'm currently finishing off the gold trimmings base coat and rivets on the last 10 marines before highlighting them and then adding some battle damage to the whole model. I then need to complete the power packs, bolters and sergeant's plumes and then I'm done! I'll add some pictures when I'm done and find time to take some proper ones!

Up next for the EC is a Praetor version of Lucius, and the parts are slowly dropping through the letterbox as the days go by, just the legs and base to arrive now!

Hopefully we'll have a regular schedule set up over the next couple of weeks.

I'll leave you with a picture of Captain Cryptus of the Emperor's Children's Third Company.
