A new month, a new opportunity



Today is the start to a new goal. I have been invited to attend a local "Escalation" tournament, in which there will be three rounds. The first game starts at 500 points, the next at 1000 points, and the final round will be a standard 1500 point game. This sounds perfect for me to test my new Guard army in a more competitive setting, and also serves as a new motivator to have my force painted by the time of the competition, which takes place August 22 this month. Hopefully the scheduling works out, but I plan to attend, and so I begin my work on preparing for it.

First project nearly complete for the month is a Regimental Standard Bearer. I opted for a simple standard, quick and easy-like. I still have lettering and decals to apply, but this serves as a sufficient base to work with. I expect to be done with this fellow by tomorrow, and be working on another veteran squad (or possibly a chimera) by then.

I will be posting my new proposed lists for analysis when I draw them up. I am unsure yet as to the restrictions that will be placed on the way the points are spent in the lower-level games, but only the standard force organization rules apply then I already have a good idea of what I will be bringing to the table.

Until next time,

    For a quick and simple standard, he's cracking mate. I love the heavy weathered look, how did you do it?

    Which part, the metals or the standard? Usually, my answer is to use COPIUS amounts of badab black washes. For the metals, I use a base of tin bitz with mithril silver stippled over the top, finished with a heavy dose of badab black!
