Well, I'm tired and I'm going ot go to bed. but for last, something completely different. I really enjoyed Battlefleet Gothic and this is my favorite ship, both to play and to look at, a squadron of 3 of these Dauntless class light cruisers can really ruin someones day. Sorry about the non-spacy background. At some point I should take pics of my two gothic fleets (Imperial and Chaos)

The workbench
I've removed a closet door in my office and made myself a little painting cubbyhole,
its beginning to get a little crowded but its nice to have a little place to paint.
I need to put up a few shelves to store those inevitable "in progress" projects such as some 1/1200 napoleonic ships.. Here is the British 74 Bellerophon in progess

Some old school epic
Well its midnight and my eyes hurt too much to paint, so I thought I'd snap some pictures of some minis I painted from a few years ago. I'll start out with some models from SM / EPIC / Armageddon
While I always found the Eldar a bit .. well lacy blouse for my playing style I love some of the minis. Specifically the old school Tempest super heavy tanks are one of the nicest designs of any of the vehicles IMHO. SO here are a few pics
I also liked the original Eldar Titans, I have a phantom and warlock as seen below. I should dress up the base on the Phantom, I think it makes a real difference.
As you can tell, this was the year when I learned to blend colours as I seem to have on everything I painted!

Latest projects.. those poor Soviets!
Well,
After the pasting the British Challengers and Milan teams gave the Soviets in our first game I thought I'd even the odds a little. I'm taking a break from painting my new CinC Chieftains (pics later) and found an old Mi-24 Hind D miniature that I decided to repaint and mount. I also ordered a Soviet Fansong E air defence radar from CinC. Its a nice model and goes together well. I've included some unpainted pics
I have another Hind but unfortunately its missing one stub wing!!! grrrr! if anyone has such a thing please let me know!!!
Hind quarter(pun intended!), and side views
Hind .. the view no NATO commander likes to see
Fansong E unpainted
