The Founding Is Nigh

Heed the founding of the 157th (yes, they're the 157th now) Aeshaettar Light Infantry! Work is finally getting started on these guys... owing to the fact that I just picked up about 20 Mordians, 50 metal Cadians and 50 Catachans relatively cheap. The Bitkingdom order has been delayed a wee bit, but should still be going through. I also plan to hit up The WarStore for some Wood Elf bitz with which to make Aeshaettari Guardsladies.

Over the next little while I will be paintstripping, hacking up, headswapping, and repainting all the "mongrel guardsmen" that have joined up; and kitbashing together the first 30 or so truly unique Doom Guard.

Reminds me, I'm gonna have to pick up more Green Stuff to sculpt all those kamas on!

The Lights Are On...

...literally and figuratively, haha. On the one hand, I am still pluggin' away at my Revilers 3rd Company (however slowly), plus my dad's plugged some trippy new Christmas lights in in the living room!

There is a dearth of new pics at the mo, mostly cos my camera needs new batteries and I haven't charged any. :P

But, as a general "preview" of what to expect from the Workbench in the next little while....

• Work In Progress and Painting In Progress pics of my Revilers Librarian, Brother-Epistolary Lucius Orzora (affectionately known as the Kingslayer)
• More PIP Revilers of various denominations. I hearts me some Shadow Grey.
• My first attempt at scratchbuilt Drop Pods! Hopefully I can get out to Rona on the morrow to pick up the pop-up-sprinkler thingummies that I plan to base the scratches on... Unfortunately, they won't have opening doors, but they should be slick looking and cost effective!
• Lastly, my buddy (and fellow blogger) Big Boss is getting together an order from awesome online hobby store Bit Kingdom. I'm going to be ordering an arseload of Imperial Guard bitz... so the raising of the 124th Aeshaettar is nigh!

So, that's what to expect in the next little while. I'm off to go plug in my battery charger and drool over the online bit catalogues. Cheers!
