Update!!

So it has been quite a while since my last post/update so I figured I would throw one up. I have been busy as all get out with Tax season here so I haven't had much time to myself over the past 2 months. Needless to say I have plenty of planning going on in my head. So to begin here is what I have been up to hobby wise over the past few months.

1) Tyranid Models - Wave #2!!! Rumors are around and the thought is they should be released sometime around summer to early fall, before another codex release (possibly Necrons!!!). Models are going to include the following...

Confirmed: Warrior Lashwhip/bonesword sprues, Ymgarl Genestealers (pewter blister or upgrade pack), Doom of Malan'tai (pewter blister), Harpy (plastic kit, to be released with the 'summer of fliers alongside the Imperial Thunderbolt fighter, Dark Eldar Voiddragon/Razorwing).

Speculation: Tervigon/Tyrannofex (2 in 1 kit, like the Night Spinner/Fire Prism, however some believe this to be a hoax and that only the Tervigon will be released), PLASTIC HIVE TYRANT/SWARMLORD (hell it's about time!!! also wings/armored shell upgrades are said to be included!!!

Either way more models = more conversions and finally after a two years we get our model range complete, thanks GW! It only took two years, and in that time Blood Angels got all of their kits, DE in six months almost have their whole range & you threw in Grey Knights in April!!! Man you must really love the Xenos races.......

2) Battlefoam - I purchased some for myself and B to see if the product works. Despite the price the product looks like it will work quite well. It's hard with Nids to find a way to transport your bugs due to the sizes and shapes/conversions of all the various models. I have found other cheaper options online, but Battlefoam trays are customized for specific types of bugs with options to design your own trays. I ordered a ton to house roughly 80-85% of my bugs and a few trays for B for his eldar. They should be shipped out soon as the email said they will be sent by the end of March.... here's to hoping since I bought them in February.

3) Conversions - I am redoing part of my Swarmlord, more specifically the arms to make them more seamless. Winged Warriors are in the works! I have started both a Farseer conversion and an Autuarch conversion for my Eldar. To top it all off I have toyed around with the Gryphon that J sent me and have come up with some ideas for a Pheonix!! (More to come here)

4) Painting - I honestly need to do more... that's all I have to say about that...

5) Grey Knights - I... hate.... GW...

6) Dark Eldar - Wave 3 models to be released soon!!

7) Tomb Kings in May!!!!

8) Necrons in the fall!?!?!

9) I still hate GW..... Grey Knights... seriously!!! Thanks for making my 'Nids the worst codex thus far out of the 5th edition rewrites.... at this rate we will be the next Tau or Necrons once everyone gets their spot in the sun.

10) New Forgeworld Eldar!! Lots of new releases to look at, along with a new Shadow Spectre Exarch, the new Lynx battletank, and the Wasp Assault Walker.

Cheers!
