Ah i do so love it when my mojo disappears...

13 riders nearly done, just some black and a wash here and there, and zero motivation to carry on!

I demand that you get them finished! If I can put some blood red paint on a clear plastic tube, you can put some black on a few figures! :)

Almost finished, just the horns and doing something on the bases. Hopefully finished next week some point.

Finished. Not happy with the quality of the photograph.
I'll be honest, I've disliked this kit. It looks good, and is odd and alien as it should be. The kit itself is far too complicated and fiddly, a pain to assemble. I've not enjoyed painting them either, even with my very simple colour scheme.
I was originally going to magnetise the weapon options, but after assembling the main bodies realised I was getting annoyed and dumped that idea.
Glad to get these off the painting table, and onto the gaming table. The addition of these unlocks the decurian detachment for my army and will add much needed speed. Pleased with the £10 BNIB price tag too. Hope they win me a few victory points in the rare necron outings for me.

I wish you look on the battle filed... I know your pain I really want to get my assassins painted so I can get them used, but the thought of painting the shiny black has put me right off starting them. I have a plan that'll utilise my air brush but that will wait for a day when I'm feeling brave enough!

Is the gallery set up and am I added to it as I can't seem to find where to post my image?

there are 8 days remaining on entry, and just to prove ive actually been doing something instead of twiddling my thumbs

here is my progress on the riders!

ImageImageImageImage


anyone who can correctly name the theme of each one so far, gets a gold wreath medal!

17 bikes remain primed, and at the very least im going to see about filling in some of those gaps

each base has a theme, a specific set for it, make it easier when identifying on the battlefield :P

or it would if there weren't so many with black/red themes... but i think im making it work nicely!


Just to point out, im having serious trouble with my hands lately... if id been trying this 18 months ago before arthritis crippled me, i'd have had them all done within 2 days! but im doubting i can get the rest done in time... :(

well the picture wont win me any prizes... but i hope its contents will!

25 Freeriders, each with their own theme!

the remaining 11 will cover two more bases and fill those gaps...

but it will be a while before they get done, my hand is officially on strike...

The wreath is still up for grabs if people can name the themes for each base!

also, 24 hour warning people!
