The Doom of Me

I've let myself to be easily distracted again; was a mere one step away to finish one of the two FoW infantry squad. It could be because of the scorching hot weather. So, instead of pursuing to complete my FoW stuff which will be seeing action in 3 weeks time, I painted this xeno-thingy instead. If I were to make a smart distraction, I would have painted my Rifleman for the upcoming World Without End campaign. But, I can't actually recall on the trigger that urged me to paint this. Anyway, what's done is done.

A Stumbling Block

By doing this, I've consciously caused myself to be behind the schedule I've set myself for K3 and Golden Kris on June 30th. Definitely not a good move but, what's done is done. Spent the large part of Sunday afternoon painting this (when I should have at least airbrushed two layers of paint on my Vyper).

Hive Guard

Inspired by Shukor's Nids, I've rummaged through my personal stockpile looking for some Tyranid models. It turns out that I have way more stuff than expected; ranging from the old ones (Necrons) to the youngbloods (Tau). This, I blame my impulsive buying behaviour and my Big Mek tendencies. The next post will be an update of my Eldar Rangers (I promise), and crossing my fingers that I can finish them before my series of continuous outstation in April begins.

Having a Break

Knowing myself, it's best that I took a break after painting any two Wood Elves/Eldar model. The amount of details on those models are simply awesome, yet requires a bit more work and concentration as compared to painting marines. Since I also had a few unpainted objective markers lying around, it's probably a good idea to paint them as a way to relieve myself. Pictured below is one of the objectives for my Eldar (Craftworld Ilfirin) army; a burrowing Carnifex. I've purposely applied Gloss Varnish on the model (especially the carapace) to make it appear slimy.
