GamesDay 2010

I am off to GamesDay 2010 at the NEC in Birmingham this Sunday. I am hoping as usual to take lots of photographs of new models, games and scenery.

I am expecting to see some new stuff on the Forge World stand and if I can, I am hoping to get into the seminar, but with so few tickets available then I expect I may be disappointed. I am hoping also that we will see the new Dark Eldar miniatures.

As I have done over the last few years I am also hoping to live blog images to this blog over the course of the day, so keep checking back to see the images live from the event.

As last year I am politely requesting that you link to the blog rather than the images or borrowing or embedding the images. Thank you.

Grey Knights Land Raider

Having given the Land Raider a black undercoat I started the basecoat.

Though this is a Grey Knights Land Raider, I decided early on with this force that the majority of the armoured vehicles would be a sandy desert colour.

I used Citadel Foundation Paint, Tausept Ochre as the basecoat.

War Mumak of Harad

A Mumakil from the display cabinets at GamesDay 2008.

The armies of Harad often employ Mumakil, massive war-beasts trained by the Mahud, to trample their enemies under colossal hooves. A Mumak is nigh unstoppable once is begins its charge, tossing aside enemies like broken dolls. The largest model in The Lord of The Rings range, a Mumak can break through an enemy line while Haradrim warriors rain deadly arrows from atop the howdah on its mighty back.

Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor basecoat

If you have looked at my Grey Knights Landspeeder you will realise that I am attempting to paint a Grey Knights force which goes beyond the listings in the DaemonHunters Codex. What I am trying to do is to create a Grey Knights force (using the Space Marine Codex) and then using a DaemonHunters force as allies.

Having constructed my Repressor and added Inquisitorial iconography I gave the model a black undercoat. The next stage was the basecoat and for that I am using the Tausept Ochre Foundation Paint as a basecoat. So why is it brown? I blogged about this back in 2007.

Slowly getting there.
