Quality Staff are Hard to Find

More campaign painting, this time telepaths!

With these two on my side combined with the fleet officers I get:
+2 to my reserve rolls
-3 to your reserve rolls
I re roll my dice for outflanking if I'm not happy with the edge I get
I can force you to re roll your dice for outflanking if I'm not happy with the edge YOU get

Brilliant!!



See you on the ground! Well, in turn 5, if you're lucky!

Grey is the New Black

Like most painters I've been using black undercoat predominately with white being reserved for anything I wanted white or yellow. The new foundation paints reinforced the continued use of black and they are excellent. However, I've just bought some Imperial guard advisors for eBay and I've nearly finished all three in about the same amount of hours. The only thing i have changed is the undercoat. Grey.





Grey is the new Black. Try it you may just like it...

New Recruits

Imperial guard Praetorians: you can't get em from GW anymore (although if this rumour from BOLS turns out to be correct http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2009/06/40k-rumors-minis-from-age-of-yore.html then that may change!) and Ebay prices are huge!

So what do you do if you want more troops? Substitute!

I saw an auction on Ebay for some British "Zulu" troops and took a bit of a punt that they'd be the right scale.

When they turned up I was pleased to see they are about the same scale, although a little slighter, as the GW praetorians.

A few 40K bits here and some epaulets there and once they're painted you'll never know the difference!

Apart from the different style of lasgun

Oh, and the greenstuff sausage fingers....etc!

Anyway the upshot is I've got a whole new platoon for £20!

By the way the actual praetorians are the far right and far left, in case you couldn't tell!!

Pffffffffff!
