Fern's First Post

Hi All,

So I haven't posted anything about any of my three armies yet, as I've been letting Sam post his stuff first.  I collect Vampire Counts, Goblins (not a fan of Orcs) and Skaven.

Vampire Counts

I absolutely adore the Vampire Counts miniatures and really enjoy playing the army.  Probably because it's my first army, it's also the largest one I have.  I think I have approximately 10,000 points worth at the moment, although not all are on the shelf at the moment.  There's still a lot to be assembled and put on the shelf.

 Goblins

I have pretty much all the goblins that I want now.  I really enjoy playing games with them, as I just can't stop laughing at all the crazy stuff that happens, but I don't like the miniatures as much as my other armies.  I can easily play a 3000 point game, and could probably stretch to 4k if I wanted to.  The only extras I will probably plan on getting are another Arachnarok spider and some squigs.

There's currently 438 miniatures in the army.  I've fully painted and flocked around 150 of the goblins, with around 80 unprimed and the rest undercoated with about half of the skin painted.  Hopefully these will all be painted in the next couple of months.

Skaven

This is my favourite army of the lot, despite the fact that I haven't even assembled enough miniatures to ever play a game with even 500 points.  I adore the miniatures and I'm desperately looking forward to assembling and painting my army.  With my Skaven though, I've decided to go the longer path and collect the entire army before assembling and painting anything (well, apart from the Lizardmen slaves that Clan Spittle captured for me).

Anyway, that’s all from me until next time.

Take care and have fun,

Fern

WARNING! PICTURE HEAVY POST!

Bit of a MASSIVE update.  I decided to take a picture of all the stuff I've done in the last 6 months. This is too catch myself up on ze blog since the camera was rebatterized. Enjoy..

 Warsphinx and Tomb King, I assmbled for oldest son's birthday.

 He was chuffed.

 2 for 1 offer, I assembled and painted this Necroshpinx as well, which I think is pretty damned cool model.

Bone scything weapons ftw. He was doubley chuffed.

but wait there's more...

 Great Unclean One

 Rust and pus and bloody gore... this is making me hungry.

Beast of Nurgle

 Epidimius, the Tallyman of Nurgle

 His banner is painted in blood. The only way to tally.

 6 Bases of Nurglings, replendant with rivers of blood.

 Tree of Woe for Plaguebearers rank filler. The tree is spewing out blood. Nice and thick and wet.

   and all of them in their glory.

Close up of some Plaguebearers.

 Unit 1 of 24 Bloodletters including rank filler portal.

 Supreme Close up

 My wife takes better pictures than me.

 Bloodletter coming out to wreak some havoc. Rank filler makes the units much better.

2nd unit of Bloodletters.

 Skarbrand WIP.

 Reaper Wereshark, he's a very nice miniature. I went with the wave seascape on the base.

Chimaera, sans throat on the reptile head. It looks much better without it don't you think?

 The Changeling.

 WIP Fleshounds, I think I have another 2 unassembled

 Almost done one of them.

 Wife want to take an extra close up because she liked it.

So onto finishing this Cockatrice and the 3 Pox Riders of Nurgle so I can put together my Kairos I got yesterday. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!1!! cough, splutter....

Sammy out.

p.s. ...and maybe some Diablo 3

More Khorne Finished

Bloodcrushers and Herald on Khorne Chariot are done and bases magnetized. Pics to come when camera is fixed. I just need to do some movement trays to keep them in the cupboard. [EDIT] KK pics added

3 Bloodcrusher Command

 Another 3 BloodCrushers

 Herald on Khorne Chariot

and the other side...

I have started on the gorgeous GW Cocaktrice and  3 Pox riders of Nurgle. My wife was commenting on how disgusting the toads look. I must say I agree once more paint goes on, they are simply beautiful miniatures. I may not get more because how prohibitively expensive they are, but I got all 3 unique miniatures and I am satisfied.

Cockatrice so pretty.

 Cockatrice in pink yellow and blue.

 POX RIDERS.

 Tasty.

Ordered my Daemon Battalion the other day from the US, 40 -50% off NZ RRP including shipping is nothing to sneeze at, especially when the prices are so over inflated anyway.I'm goign to do be basing up 2 to 3 each on regiment bases (25mm x 100mm) so I can rank them up properly as it's a jigsaw puzzle just trying to rank them up normally.
