Brushes of Fury: 1 Week Until Deadline

Luckily, list of "To-Do" before next Friday is dwindling pretty rapidly. I say luckily, because I am not going to have the energy to keep doing this forever!

Today was a huge day for me. I finally finished not just the other Land Raider, but two Rhinos as well. I must say, in a moment of inspiration, I rightfully decided to add arrows to the tops of my Rhinos. That little detail really distinguishes them as transports for the troops, and I love it.

Tomorrow, I am taking a break, and going out to play a few games. Hopefully that won't set me back too much, as I have a few things to add to my "To-Do" list now. Since I know the scoring system now, here is my current To-Do List:

Make Display Board
Base Terminator Squads
Paint Display Board
Paint Terminator Squads
Make 40mm Objectives (3)
Paint 40mm Objectives (3)

I have a week to do all that, so I'd better get on that this weekend. For now, it's 1:00 in the morning AK time, so I'm off to bed.

Until next time,

No wings on it yet...

In my classic grungy style, here is my speed-painted Land Raider. I painted it the day after assembling it, and I am pleased with the results for the speed I put this out in.

No plans for wings yet, as I don't intend on using it as a flying land raider just yet ;)

That brings my list of items needing painting down somewhat, but it is still substantial. I still have left to go:
1 Land Raider
2 Rhinos
10 Assault Terminators
1 Terminator (Space Hulk's Brother Omnio)
1 Meltagun Marine

I've been debating dropping the regular terminator squad I had, in favor of a Razorback and a combat squad of marines (or even a scout squad?) to add another scoring unit. I am just afraid that two tactical squads will not be enough, and I think that my anti-horde is a bit light. So you can see where I am coming from, here is the list I was thinking of (Version 1):

Terminator Chaplain
2 Assault Terminator Squads in LRs
1 Regular Terminator Squad with an Assault Cannon
2 Tactical Squads in Rhinos
1 Predator (naked)

Which would you go with? The terminator squad with an Assault Cannon, or a Razorback and Combat squad with some trimmings, maybe some upgrades for the Pred?

Like Christmas in March!

The postman made me a happy fellow today! (Ew, not like that, you pervert.) I got my humongous order of space marine goodies today, and I am already happily at work assembling some of the vehicles. I have to take a break every once in a while, or the glue fumes go to my head. It is during such a break that I am currently posting!

Brimfrost, the biggest annual tournament, is nearly here. I debated going for a while, but I finally decided to suck it up and go. It's going to start at 7:30 in the morning, meaning I have to leave my home at 5:30, but it might be worth it, so I am frantically trying to hammer out a list and paint up the models that require it. I have until the 19th to have everything finished (as I see it).

So far, it looks like I have the following to finish painting before the 20th:
2 Land Raiders
1 Rhino
10 Assault Terminators

That isn't so bad when you put it down on paper! I can get that done. Await updates, and you will be rewarded!

Well, time for me to get back to building the 1st Land Raider.
Until Next Time,
