New Skaven
Awesome. Images of new Skaven are emerging....
I really like these sculpts! Much more like how I image the Skaven as compared to the current models. The background and artwork of the Skaven to me really make them sound like a dark and mysterious race that most of the world doesn't even believe exists.
These guys are really going to make me get my Skaven hobby on!

Frodo and Sam's Adventures in the Shire
It was just Alec and I instore today when the "mystery box" arrived.
We opened the plain looking box labelled "Frodo and Sam's Adventures in the Shire" and low and behold it was clearly a trick!! It was Space Hulk! (apparently Hurstville got "Squat Army Deal")
So Alec and I spent the afternoon building them all and let me say I'm impressed!!
There is one termie who has just ripped the skull and spine off of a genestealer and is dead hard!!
Some of them are missing the glass in the eye as it has been slashed.
There is an INSANE amount of detail on these model. Seriously. Wow.
Of course the first model I built was Mr Pointy.... !!
I knew I had to after talking with you guys....
Any questions, ask away.
ps... i pre ordered three.

Sgt: "Specialist!"
Pointy: "There."
Marine: "Targeters locked! Enemies vanquished! Good save there pointy!"
Sgt: "Truly you are the emperors finest!"
Pointy: *Embarrassed* "Thanks guys... all i did was point at them"

Hello 2009!
Well I havn't yet got an army up and going yet. Drats.
But I have partaken in an Awesome Apocalypse 40k game which saw the combined forces of good win 5-0! yeay!
Which inspired me even more to get myself an army happening.
So to allow me to field a variety of options and use a set colour scheme and theme to my army I am building the 4th company Ultramarines!!
To help me along the way Nick James has started up a Salamander army which is looking amazing!! But unfortunately with the whole world economics collapsing I had not enough work and now too much work! But beggers can't be choosers!
But happily I have almost finished building a 5 man assault squad (I only need to clean 2 sets of grenades and flock the bases!!) and have a 5 man scout squad built and awaiting some green stuff "U"s which I should be able to knock over in a few hours if my green stuff hasn't gone off!
I'm really happy with the models so far and am starting work on a tactical squad next whilst i build up a few more scouts.
I've got the colour scheme sussed and have the all new all flashy all wow spray gun ready to base coat the little suckers!!
I havn't yet written a list as im finding that a bit too hard so I have instead written up the company which will give me more options as I get them all built. Happily I havn't yet lost focus and am planning the next army without it hindering this army which is a first for me! And a happy one at that. (on that note does anyone have any spare marauder horsemen heads I could pilfer?? I gotta get the stock pile started)
So that's my intro to my hobby attempt for this year. Closest thing I have to a New Year's Resolution, but hopfully it will become a reality!
Next post I'll put up my company list and hopefully some photos.

First Schedule - Update
So today I'm trying to finish off my uni work as I have (hopefully) the last meeting tomorrow!!
So no hobby done as of yet.... :(
but....
I've picked up a number of paints the other day specifically for the grey knights, which should almost eliminate any need for blending and mixing colours! I'm really quite excited to get into it all! But ill need to wait for Friday to get it happening. Then hopefully I can work on it Sat and Sun also.
So lets have a look at that schedule!
Starting Monday 30th - Sunday 6th - Week 1
I will clean up and assemble 2 Grey Knights, Base them and Undercoat them
Build 3 bases for the Storm Troopers (takes longer than you think!)
Buy Paints for Grey Knights - Done!
Start (and hopefully finish) the test colour marine
So it could be said I'm a quarter done....?
But it looks like there could be a delay in the undercoating of my minis as I have just discovered this http://www.weetoysoldiers.com/wp/?page_id=34
I have to say I am VERY intrigued, So I think I'll try and pick up a bottle of it from Hobbyco on thursday and do a test model or two to see how it turns out but if its all true! Wow!
I have already undercoated 3 Grey Knights, which will need some touch up still so I can at least get moving with the test paint scheme whilst I'm trying to find it/experimenting with it so it hopefully won't put me too far behind the 8-ball.
Next post I'll put up some photos, but I'm not sure how great they'll be...
