Back on tracks, one step at a time...

Hi all.

This post is about why I quit the rat race with 40k and the Dark Angels.

I'm done with it.

I'm back on tracks, after a long time out. I needed time to fix some parts of my real life. I didn't fix everything. But for now, let's say it will be ok.

I've been playing WFB and 40k for about ten years. I had up and downs, but never ever stopped playing.

And since long ago, I want to play Deatwing terminators. The ones who where fighting Genestealers in the first Space hulk version Deathwing extension.

I'm playing Dark Angels since 2008.

Well... Dark Angels or Vanilla Marines, because they have shiny stuff.

2013 : I stopped playing Vanilla Marines, Dark Angels only.

2015 : new DA codex, I have to play it 40k7 style.

When the all shiny Vanilla Marines codex appeared in 2013, I wrote down my point of view on the game.  The new Dark Angels codex made me have  another pause. I had to consider how and why I'm playing DA, and what I want to do now rules have changed for the green angels.

So, what's new in the 7th version ?

• Belial doesn't allow you to play Deathwing terminators as troops. Which means that you can't play a 100% Deathwing  army anymore.
• Graviguns for everyone ! Yay or nay ? Nay ! I can't afford new boxes.
• Ravenwing gets moar powerrr !

This... sucks far Deathwing players.

After days, I decided to keep it down with the rat race.

I already have a 3k Deathwing army ready to play and I definitely not ready to paint more tactical marines.

And... I think I'm done with the Dark Angels. I painted green marines for 7 years, created a 3k Apocalypse army from scratch in less than ten month and now, I need some new stuff to work on.

I have knights and titans to work on, and an all new 30k apocalypse army to start.
Let's get it on !

Nope

Sorry guys, no post since last one.

I'm preparing my self to face one of the biggest stormsh*t I ever faced.

Had to pause my Hobby for a long time.

Stay tunes, I'll try to come back asap.

Imperial Knight Warden

I just finished selling some oldies when suddenly... an all new Imperial Knight Warden appears !

Aarghal uses Credit Card !
It's very effective...

Couldn't resist to opening the box.

On the left : the three "original" Knight kit sprues.

On top, the fourth and new sprue.

And center, a full colored notice.

The difference between the old Imperial Knight and the Imperail Knight Warden is the same between a Rhino and a Razorback.

The new sprue offers you new arms options, and TWO turrets.

Enjoy.

It's a must have, and if you can, mix an old and a new kits boxes, you won't regret it.

Eldar Knight #2 - Magnets powa !

What's really good with big minis, or long time projects, is that you can be sure that, no matter what, Murphy's law won't forget you.

On this commission for two Eldar Knights, sh*t happened when I was on the finish line with the second knight.


Torso and legs just broke up.
...
[censored]

After reflexion, I founded a solution : magnets !

I decided to place two magnets to establish a strong link between legs and torso.

The second pair is here to give some movement to the torso.

As you can see ton the picture, you need to use 3mm diam. magnets.

Because the uper body just can't turn, you can swap the arms without any problems : you won't have to check the torso's position anymore.

With four magnets, you have a strong bond between uper and lower body.

This means you can move your knight on the battlefield by the legs... or the torso.

MAGNETS RULES !!!

Personnal note : I'm sorry for the delays. I'm in a storm that takes me too much time and makes me losing my Mojo from time to time...

Kouz's blog

I had a car crash and couldn't paint.
(yes, one more time)

But I can give you some Hobby pics.

Take a look at this SMC dreadnought. I took the picture on the following blog: Les Kouz.

Don't panic if you can't understand french, Google offers you a magical button.

Just press it and magic! it's translated.

Enjoy !

Friday 4 Coma

Hello you all readers.

No progress, I still have medical issues with my arm.

While surfing on the net, I founded some webcomics to make you wait. First one : Friday 4 Coma.

Even if it's a japanese webcomic, don't panic ! There's no text at all in the panels. They'll give you a good laugh, I promise.

Take a look at the omaketheater.

And if you like manga, anime, japanese culture and video games, here's a second one.

This one can be more borderline than Omake Theater.

Take a look at Dueling Analogs and enjoy.

Nope

I'm sorry readers.

No post this week, I can't use my right arm correctly.

It hurts.
