Dry spell over

So I started painting again, renamed my blog and have resumed posting. I took a bit of a break from warhammer and painting over winter. Flirted briefly with 40k when the new rules were released. I just don't like it as much as fantasy and my foot slogging space elf army just gets curb stomped. I have half painted a bunch of things but haven't really finished anything. That is all going to change now as the three player game we were planning to do is back on. The battle for La Maisontaal. Today I started painting Throt the Unclean.

Here is a WIP shot. I have 3 things to paint for the 3k force for the game. Throt, who I purchased specially for the game and will probably only use it this one time in this game. A screaming bell which I imagine I will use all the time. Also I have a poison wind mortar to paint up as well.

Depending how I go I may finish painting Skweel Gnawtooth for the game as well. I am not a fan of the model. His whip looks stupid the way it is bent on my figure and I am afraid to bend it into something better looking as I am sure it will snap.

In other hobby news I plan to paint up my space elves. Also I want to paint some of my warriors as well. Hopefully they are magically more fun to play when they get their new book. I think I ruined other armies by playing Skaven first. They can do all the fun stuff. I will probably keep my warriors army small for the moment as I want to get a few more skaven specials. A second unit of Gutter Runners and the Skryre specials as I want to run a Skryre fluff list with Ikit Claw and all the toys. I tried out a proxy army and although I lost it was a lot of fun. I am bringing shooting back. I will try and blog more regularly as well.
