Bye bye spam – CAPTCHA code implemented!
Due to the very annoying amounts of spam posts I’m receiving on this blog, I’ve implemented a captcha tool, courtesy of sweetcaptcha.com.
It’s an interesting problem, because I personally find captcha forms annoying for the most part, and wanted something quick and easy that doesnt get in the way…
Sweetcaptcha.com‘s solution seems just that. We’ll see how it goes.

Grey Knights Dreadknight – WIP update 4
Some progress pics of the Dreadknight.
Have not been able to work on it so much this week, but here it is.
I was also not happy with the paint job on the top half, so I completely stripped it back to the plastic and started again Read the rest of this entry »
Random meme, made me laugh…
Randomly saw this today.
You 40k players will know what I’m talking about… (Everyone else, read this if you want to know)
Gotta love memegenerator.
Yep, I’m getting excited about Halo 4!
Yes, yes and yes.
I love Halo, the Microsoft Xbox series of computer games, ever since I first heard about it. I enjoy these games immensely mostly because there is such a rich backstory and ‘universe’ of information surrounding the games themselves. There is so much more insight to be gained from digging a little deeper into the games revolving around Master Chief, last survivor of the Spartan soldier program…
As such, now whenever I hear about new Halo games, I get excited, and for every release I get progressively agitated until release. I’ve booked time of work for each release day (Except for Halo: Reach, unfortunately) and picked up my copy at midnight before going home and playing the game all night until either I finish or I get so tired that I can barely hold the controller.
I love the Halo games… and it’s that time again.
When I heard all the way into last year that Halo 4 is coming, I quietly noted the date and busying myself with my life in preparation for the ‘release’. In all fairness, there is been a lot to busy myself with, but anyway… It makes me think back to what got me into Halo.
When the first Halo was announced (And even released), I didn’t own an Xbox, but I managed to ‘borrow’ my friends xbox for 3 weeks and played the game non-stop during that time. I completed it 3 times and loved every moment. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. I bought an Xbox soon after this for the purpose of playing Halo and also because Halo 2 was then soon to be released. After that, Halo 3 couldn’t come soon enough for me, while ODST was a nice alternate perspective to the universe but one that I’d seen already through reading the books. The Halo book series, by the way and especially the first ‘The Fall of Reach’, are amazing for fleshing out the universe of this series of games.
Halo: Reach, to my shame, I have still not finsished yet… even despite all my harping about being such a fan of the Halo series, but I know how it ends because its a prequel. I should do that.
Regardless of that, I can feel the excitement inside me growing when I watch this video.
it’s really good.
Grey Knights Dreadknight – WIP update 3
Well, I did a bit more on the Nemesis Dreadknight have have now got the chance to update with some pictures.
I’ve separated the model into a few pieces and basecoated the with Army Painter Plate Mail Metal (The pics show the bits of sprue I glued to the various parts to make spraying a little easier).
I’ve also painted some of the darker metal (I used Boltgun Metal paint, and Leadbelcher on other parts) as well as a few of the metal parts, which was a bit more of a detail exercise as to not get red paint on unintended parts. Well, a mistakes were made but that’s how it goes…
Anyhow, I’m quite happy with the results so far and I think its shaping up well. After I’m done with this, Imperial Fists, Necrons, the masses of Orks still left to paint, New Boxed set and then some of the other random models I have (Recently purchased some Reaper Minis that I thought looked cool) then I might get around to creating a Grey Knight contingent for my Fists.
For now though, next I’m considering how to achieve a nice effect on the large amounts of flat plate metal…
Grey Knights Dreadknight – WIP update 2
Just a quick update showing the progress of the Nemesis Dreadknight that I’ve been working on.
Had a chance to spend a bit more time on it yesterday and it’s now been basecoated, so I will need to update this with a more recent pic later.
In the first pic though, it is mostly assembled (Missing the pilot head as I’m painting that separately) and ready for the basecoat.
You might note that it has a silvery tint to it already… This is a coat that was already applied to it when I got it from my friend. I would have worked with this already, but it is a bit uneven and has a sticky quality to it, making my fingerprints show up after I’m holding it (Quite irritating).
I’ve also gone back to basic and removed some (Not all) of the mould lines, as well as some of the sprue remnants with a hobby knife. This took some time as there is a lot of parts to this model.
I’m planning to basecoat it with Army Painter Plate Mail Metal and work up from there. I’ve used Army Painter before, namely for my Imperial Fists, but never used the Plate Mail Metal. I’ve read that it’s like the old Mithril Silver Citadel paint, but I’m going to see…
More to come.
Knightly WIP pic
Well, thought I’d upload a pic of something I’ve started work on.
It’s parts from a model that was given to me by a friend some ago and I’ve just got around to assembling it to paint.
Also, I got confirmation today that my starter set is being shipped out. Nice.
