Squad One Day 2 6MMRPC...almost there

I know I haven't based them yet, but I don't know what terrain the field of battle will be yet, I suspect snow... but I'm waiting on conformation.

Anyhow, here is Squad One finished to my standard table top.

I'll get the hang of this camering thing... one day

The squat mechanic is my favourite, think I'll look for more... after this challenge obviously o.O

Pleased :) now on to the second squad :)

Squad One Update - 6MMRPC

Here is a quick update for tonight, this is the state of squad one so far... getting there.

Squad One lots to go...

Squad one, they are Disciples of Xaphan, 2 melta guns, one plasma gun, and an Autocannon. This is the first of 3 disciple squads, they are all conversions, a bit of kist bashing from some old mutant chronicles figures.

Undercoated, never all that bothered about the colour of undercoat, as a great figure painter and friend, Matt Curier once taught me, it sets the tone for the figure, and as I want these dirty looking, a brown or grey will do.

Blocking in the base colours.

Apologies for the rubbish phone pics, I will get better pics for the final finished shots.

Getting a Handle on my challenge...

I've accepted the 6MMR Challenge, so I ventured into my man cave to see exactly what I have let myself into.
Well first up is my Renegades and Heretics army that I have been building for about forever, as you can see some of it is base coated, most under coated and a couple are near completion, but here are a few group shots to give an idea of the first part of the challenge.

1500pt Tau army,

Renergades and Heretics, psykers and stuff,

Heretics and my forgefiends,

More Heretics and disciples,

Heretics and Space Marine Renegades

The Space Marine Renegades, they are true scale

Box of 80 imperial guard types, 

This will be the first squad I tackle, once I dig them out of my desk.

Last count there were over 140 imperial guard types plus marines and others.

These are from a home-brew game, that myself and a few friends have been working on and playing for a very long time, but more recently we decided to take it up a notch and go to 100mm scale...

(said some of my experiments could do with a doctor :) )

Scratch building a 1:18 scale mech... yeah ill keep taking the pills :)

First of two mounts, the other is still in the box...

That dog looks huge, it really isn't that big...honest

First 3 100mm Teutonic Post Apocalyptic squads.

I will be tackling the 40k stuff squad by squad, the 1:18 (100mm) stuff will be on a figure by figure basis. And Im no golden demon painter, but I like to keep my table top stuff looking nice.

So that is the broad strokes of my challenge, lets see what I can do.

Adventures on a tabletop...

I've been a gamer of the table top variety for most of my life, but never thought about documenting my adventures. We'll now that is gonna change.
Starting today I will try to blog, all my trials and tribulations, successes and failures that I have in the world of tabletop gaming, and possibly a little about LARP.

I'll be concentrating on Warhammer 40k, and a few home grown experiments, some of which I should see a doctor about :)

#excited :)
