Getting back on the painting horse...

At the party Kirsten went to Saturday, she got a box of WH40K pieces from one of the party goers.. vehicles, scenery, some really nice stuff. Since my issues with tremors have vanished, I'm in a mood to get back into painting figs.

I've always enjoyed Warhammer's Space Marines. I like the idea of monastic warriors who are actually part of their armor. I've even written a slightly less dark and gloomy setting based on the WH40K universe featuring the beginnings of a rebellion against Church and Regency.

So, what I'd need to do is buy a complete set of paints and brushes, along with a Space Marine Tactical Squad and a couple of specialty figures for variety. To do the vehicles and scenery I'd need to invest in an airbrush.

All this requires either getting a better job or winning the lottery.

He's a piece of work.

if you ever see a copy of Striker II, take a good look at the infantry on the cover, they used Imperial Guards... 25mm Striker

I get this weird version of Aslan and Eldar Harlequins, or Aslan and Tau
