Vanguard Veterans

Well, there they are. Those are the three White Blades I made last time, completing a ten man squad. I'm going to work on their Rhino next.

One thing I will mention is that I did something a little different when I based them. I had been using PVA "craft" glue but it was always messy and liquid and a pain in the ass to deal with. So I used a bit of good old Elmer's glue and used an old brush to thin it with a little water and spread it around. And I think those bases look better than any other one I've done.

Hopefully that Rhino will be done soon. I think I'll finally start work on that Thunderfire cannon after. Now that I have some JB Weld, I think it's time...

Finally, I got a Fortress of Redemption! I won it on EBay and it should be winging its way to me as we speak. Can't wait to get my hands on that bad boy!

Vanguard Veterans and Rhino

Now that the move is mostly done, I can get back to doing stuff! And for starters, I give you some Vanguard Veterans I put together tonight, the last of the White Blades that I made last month. I planned in the beginning to make a Rhino specifically for that squad so I finally got off my butt and did it. Some Dark Angel bits with a few other things and voila! Instant veteran Rhino! I'm not quite sure when I'll be able to spraypaint them. The weather hasn't been cooperating lately (yesterday it snowed! That doesn't happen often here) but I'm sure I'll get to it eventually. Besides, I have more than enough sprayed for painting if I have to fill the void in the mean time.

The only other thing I have to report is that, with luck, I'll finally have a Fortress of Redemption soon! The local stores just stopped carrying them and now they're only GW Direct. That sucks because I'd rather give half my money to the local game stores that keep places for people to play and all that good stuff than give all of it to the vile and most foreign GW. Since the local store I most often frequent has been informed that they can't get one by special order until May, EBay it is! Cross your fingers for me. At this point, I'm willing to pay the retail price because the only other option is to wait until May and that's a fail in my book.

Until next time...
