Weal week.

Not much to up date, just building some Chaos dudes. I'm going to play my first game of 8th edition this week. 1500 points Chaos vs Orcs. My opponent is an experienced veteran and I'm hoping to make him earn his victory at the very least.
I have made slight progress on the Tyranafex and got a base coat on the Stealers.
The new Malifax has been previewed and I know the book is a buy at Gen Con. I think I can hold off on the figures until they release in a month or two. With fantasy Battle being the focus for the next couple of months Malifaux will be on the back burner.
I still entertain the thought of bringing stuff to paint to the Con as something to do between wanderings.
With no pressure on time, I think that i would get a bunch o stuff done.

Tank kill'n and Genesteal'n!

Well due to the heat this week painting at the park at lunch was not in the cards.
That being said I did get a chance to finish painting the Zoenthropes.
I had ordered some alternate Genestealer heads from Chapter House Studios, they showed up on my door Saturday so I converted a full brood. The alternate heads are a bit large for the bodies and make them a bit top heavy but a couple of slight bends solved that issue. They are primed and ready to go, along with a unit of Termagaunts. I'm hoping to get these ready to dip by Friday, ready for pics by Sunday.
Sadly the Tyranifex is sitting on my desk, I have not forgotten him, but sculpting is slow work. I may have him done by the time Gencon hits, i'm hoping sooner - we'll see.
Chaos has distracted me a bit, I am trying to get some of the stuff I have together as the group gets ramped up for the WHFB bloodbath. I have sidelined a Chaos Giant, a couple of spawn for fill in as paint dries and putty cures on the Nids. Project creep is on the rise.

First Brood painted

Well First brood of warriors painted, came out ok. I really have to get into the "good enough" mind set if I want to get the bugs painted. I am plugging along on the tyranifex and should see it ready for paint by next weekend.
Zoenthropes were dipped this morning and should be done and ready for their close ups.
I have been stalled on the tyrant, big model I know I want to put a bit more time into painting so have taken a step or two back. I think after the fex gets painted it'll be time for some swarm models to be done. maybe i'll knock out the bajillion stealer's I have, cant forget to convert the Ymargl stealer's full brood of course.
My hopes of running the Tomb King for WHFB has been dashed on the rocks. Speaking to the group, although a new book for the tomb kings is on the horizon they have not been a supported army in the past. Along with that and in my opinion not haveing a decent modeling opportunity with them I have taken up the banner of Chaos. After looking at models already owned I have a good start as far as champions, lords, and sorcerer's go. As I write this a battalion of Chaos's finest are making their way to my door.
