Thunder in the Valley

Unseasonal thunder in the valley, a portent of things to come, can mean only one of two things. Firstly it could mean the giants have been on the beans again, in which case an upwind location is to be preferred, or the dwarves are on the ranges performing target practice. It looks like the latter to me.
Ok so someone has got their back up. What did they do? Did they use the “D” word in a diminutive way? Did the dwarves buy some dodgy pies from Volendorf? Or, more than likely, some bleeding goblin beat them at conkers. Whatever the reason, and let’s face it dwarves don’t need much of an excuse, the dwarves are going to war.
Markham took his Sure-Shots out for a bit practice and the even the stoic dwarves managed a grin at the prospect of a weedy elf on the receiving end of one of their slugs. Markham’s Sure-Shots are ready they just can’t wait for the rest of the lads to turn up.

“Gold, gold, gold, gold,
Gold, gold, gold, gold!”

Ten year Tau

Well despite the rather long break from this blog we have not been idle on the Warhammer front; far from it. Since my last post, all the way back in May, there has been painting a plenty. Over the next few weeks I’ll try and get you caught up with all that has been happening along with what we are currently up to. That means you have the coming of age of a Tomb Kings Army and a High Elf Army to look forward to.
Apart from everything else we have also launched ourselves into 40k. Today’s painting effort saw the completion of a Tau Hammerhead and that very rare bird a Tau Devilfish. I know you cannot get your hands on a Devilfish anymore but then these tanks, and indeed the whole Tau Army have been waiting to get painted for a while. They have been waiting quite a while; ten years in fact. Not a record wait by any means but still…
Please forgive the low resolution on the photos but I ran out of batteries for my camera, I’ll have to get some on Friday. Here we go then, after ten years of waiting (where does the time go?) the Tau Tanks.
