There's just under 2 weeks to go till Astronomi-con 2012 so of course I'm now frantically trying to get everything together ;) I realize I haven't updated in a while but I've been so fixated in trying to get my 40k army done that I really haven't had the time for anything else.
Much to my horror last week I pulled a Professor Frink and "Forgot to carry the one" on my initial armylist putting my 100 points over :S So of course I'm now horrified that I might have to make some significant changes to the armylist at the last possible minute.
On the upside I got to take some figs I wasn't overly happy with out of the army, on the bad side they were already painted! so I didn't save myself any real effort.
Progress is being made though. Aside from 1 fig everything is either finished or very close to done but I've still have lots to do and I'm running into various construction related issues... Hopefully I'll work them out in time. Contingency plans also exist. *fingers crossed*
The Chinork is really close to done. (It's actually a tad further along than in this picture) just some final details to paint and some work on the base.
My Wartrukk sleds finally have a significant amount of paint on them. I dug them out of storage a few weeks ago and I've been grinding away at them.
It's about time too, given that these are some of the first figs I ever built for this army.
On a whim (aka tired of working on other projects) I did a ton of work on the Tank Bustas to bring them up to the new standard. They were, in a word, awful. I can't believed how hastily I painted them in the first place. It took a ton of work and I'm happy with the result but I almost wish I had put them in the dip instead, it would have been alot easier.
After the tweaking of my list I decided to put in my other heavily converted Nob "Razor". Although technically the squad he's supposed to be with isn't in this army I decided I liked the fig too much and I HAD to put him in.
Plus painting him for a few hours was a welcome distraction from the monotony of painting metal details on Trukks. :(
and of course the Havork. My "final" helicopter.
You can see its general profile in this picture, I went with a chopper/shark motif on it that I think is turning out nicely.
Should have this all built by the weekend! hopefully...
