Dark Angels Banner....

 A quick post today...

A friend of mine is putting together a Dark Angels force for a tournament next weekend and he asked me to paint a banner for him. The plastic banner has the pattern moulded onto the face of the banner, so painting this was very very easy. It was just a matter of colouring in between the lines. I spent a few hours on this but was able to produce a nice looking flag with very little effort.

This is when GW is at its best. Please GW more plastic and less messing....

Eldar: my first 40k unit

With 6th edition Warhammer 40k freshly released, I thought I would bite the bullet, go the place I've never been and assemble  an army. Its not that I don't like the game, it is just that I have never been inclined to play. The change from 5th to 6th is the impetus I need to make that leap.

My son had had a brief foray into the hobby and we had assembled a few Eldar figures back 5 or so years ago; so I thought that that could be my starting point. When I looked, most of his remaining figures were quite badly damaged, but I managed to find five unpainted Eldar dire avengers. I had a brief look at his old codex and opted to try Biel-tan. I didn't realize that dire Avengers tend to be blue do I went for the green colour. Oh well, I'm sure its a big universe and there must be some green Dire Avengers out there! 

 Hope you enjoy.
