So it has been quite some time since I last posted any kind
of update, so here we go.
I had definitely fallen off the hobby wagon. I had long been
waiting for the new 40k Chaos Marine codex, and when it arrived, I eagerly
supped from its corrupted teet. Sadly the sour milk was even more poisonous than
even I had expected. Releasing Chaos Marine codex bland v 2.0 left me so de
profundis, even Nurgle himself told me to cheer up. The release of the book,
and the very so-so new miniatures effectively killed any desire in me get some
games in, coupled with my practically shut in life style of late, ended the
hobby for me.
Lacking any purpose or desire to play, I turned to some
other various miniatures to play around, and hopefully get some games in with.
But it seems the GW instilled malaise spread to anything tabletop related.
Another aborted attempt at firing up a Pathfinder campaign, some Infinity
gaming and Heavy Gear, never really happened.
During this time, I’d fiddled with the odd miniature here
and there, but with no gaming or goal orientated hobbying, the sense of urgency
or need to get anything finished, caused it all to slowly drag on forever.
Flash forward a good 8 months later and here I am, semi
ready to rock n roll like it’s 1875 and bad hair do’s are back in style.
Still uninspired by Chaos for Fantasy and 40k, I’ve slowly
but surely sold most of it via ebay, and reinvested the funds, in random models
I liked the look of for various systems and hell, just to merely collect and
own.
I’ve decided to do a very heavily converted pair of 40k
Armies, one a Space Wolf, the other
Space Shark, it seems stellar animals are my new muse, as well as fifty shades
of grey…
Looking to make both forces as individualistic as possible
and very limited in vehicle/machine style support, this would enable me to make
use of the vast number of bits and parts I already own, and allow me to avoid
buying any of the increasingly expensive vehicle kits from GW.
Alongside these two forces, I will be doing up some Heavy
Gear, Infinity, and more than likely some Tau, all of which give me excuses to
not paint more grey, and allow a bit of none power armoured hobbying into my
life.
An update is never complete without some pics, so here is a
few for you
Converted & magnetised Rainbow Warrior from Dark Vengeance Terminator Sergeant.
Some greenstuff furs and beard on a random space wolf terminator.
Cobra Commander, just because, well he's Cobra Commander, do I need a reason?
