I finally bought the paints from the Vallejo range that I wanted, so I have one more red and two browns (equivalent of Bestial Brown and Bubonic Brown). Also picked up the BT codex and two BL books (the first novel for the Soul Drinkers trilogy and the second book in the Blood Angels set). Was quite happy with that, plus the price was quite nice as they seem to have dropped a tad bit, plus through in my 10% off, so it was nice.
Hopefully Ill get that SoB model done up (eventually). Thats about it... Short update really.

G´day mate! ;)
I think you´ll like the Soul Drinkers, I loved it (yes, even the second half of the book! Though the first part was GREAT! I love those tough blokes!).
I have that Blood Angels series as well but haven´t read it yet. (And I did seel my BAs to a new but very promising player, by the way.)
The Eight-Balls book, is it nice..? Can´t say I care too much about them, fun for them , that they got a Codex and new models... The Designer´s Notes did make me somewhat positive though, I like the idea that they´re like *all* Chapters used to be during the Great Crusade (except the Heroic Space Wolves ofcourse! 8-) ).
I´ll pick it up though, sometime...
Have you bough the Horus Heresy artbooks..? I ordered Volume III the other day (waited too long for that!), can´t wait to read it and drool over the pcis (even though I know a lot of people on the B&C is a bit skeptical towards that fluff...).
(Shameless plug) I think I have some Ork and Orcs stuff on my Pbase you haven´t seen..? Right now I´m working ona battery of Lobbas and a Killa Kan... :)
Oh, we had a heated debate on our (Swedish) Club´s Forum today, some guys thinks an Eviscerator is absolutely (Theoryhammer) great on Sister Superiors in Battle Sister Squads. I don´t, not for 25p when their job is to shoot infantry and not assault tanks (what those persons suggested). I imagine there are better units for that in the Codex, the Battole Sisters are there for shooting bolters and using Faith Points... What´s you take on that..? :?
Can´t wait to see more of your Sisters! ;)

Im sure Ill like Soul Drinkers too, so its nice to have the complete lil trilogy of them. Im also looking forward to reading through the Blood Angels books, but it would be nice if I could find the first one! Although gah, shame you sold the BA's but oh well. Guess you could start on a Soul Drinkers army ;)
The Black Templar codex aint too bad, as you can definitely see where the Templars have swayed away from Codex guidelines. Almost tempting to get an army, but I thinks not! But they do have some nice rules and all around character.
Heh, I still havet picked up any of the Heresy artbooks, they keep getting sold out before I can lay my mits on 'em. Guess next time I outta layby them so I can actually have a copy. How hard is it to get the other copies these days? As I have no idea if Ill be able to back order the first two volumes. But the pics are nice for sure, and I wouldnt mind owning them if I could 1. Find em and 2. Have some cash!
Nice shameless plug there, Ill have a look for sure =)
As for the SoB debate, the Eviscerators are nice, but after alot of thought on the issue as well, for a regular Battle Sisters squad, Id say avoid the Eviscerator. As you mentioned, the cost of it is semi hefty, especially since it's equivalent to two Battle Sisters. Celestians I think would be handy with them, especially with their Holy Hatred rule. But regular Battle Sister squads, Id say rely on Faith Points and the regular Power Weapon, as Battle Sister squads are usually not meant for ugly HtH fighting so its best to have them equiped for close quarter fire fights and handle it from there.
As for that Sister, I WILL get her done!!

Hi again, yeah you already had "The Bleeding Chalice" and "Crimson Tears"..?
I could start a Soul Drinkers army and I actually have the *core* for it (2 Scout Squads and loads of plastics)... But I need to paint my Guards and build AND paint my orks first..! ;P
Tempted to get the 8-balls?! ;D
I imagine they could be great fun to build now, with those new shiny bitz but they´re not something I would like to have.
I saw that the first HH book was sold out on BL, and possibly the 2nd too. So I ordered the third, didn´t wanna miss out on those..!
Loads of shops still have them in stock I guess and second print runs must be coming! They´ve been selling well or so I think...
http://www.pbase.com/duregar/image/52057183 ;D
That´s Ruzgob RAMBOrk...! :D
Yeah, that´s what I was thinking as well (on those weedy Sisters).
Done any work the last few days, painting, modelling..?
(BTW, I´m having my first Ork-battle with (Grey-Matte) tomorrow..!)
Now, what was this again, a chat-board..? ;P
Tobias
a chat-board? No it's the
http://theangelussanctuscomment.blogspot.com website.
dang long stories. A shameless plugg Tobias..but they look cool :P
Just try to imagine that your enemy is vietcong..and your RAMBOrks should do fine.
I hope to do some painting myself next weekend.
Chat Chat board? Haha, You bastards :P
Now, time to reply to this "chit chat" :P
@Tobias - Indeed I do have both Bleeding Chalice and Crimson Tears =) Although im reading two other novels atm, I wont pick up another BL novel til I finish either one, however both are fairly lengthy reading, so it might be a while! Heh, go on, you KNOW you want to start up a Soul Drinkers army... As you said, you have all the bits you need, go on, do a small 400 pt army, You know you want to ;)
Im tempted to get the BT, but I dont think I will, as their army is somewhat a dedicated at one role. However I will be more than happy to buy their boxes just to steal the bits and use them for my own insane purposes!
I wonder if they will make a giant HH compilation (like they did with Liber Chaotica) cos if they do Id be MORE than happy to pick one up, cos I wish I had before since the artwork IS very nice and I have since then lost alot of the random HH card game images I had on my laptop, so it be nice to get those images back in some shape or form.
Btw RAMBOrk looks great *thumbs up* You should be weird and give him like a more tan'd look (like tan war pant) over his green and have heaps of weapon wounds all over his body etc!
Havent done any work as of late (cept pick up the latest WD). Might do some this weekend, but we'll see how things go since my sleep/awake hours are all over the place *sighs*. Nice to see you agree with me about the Sisters issue!
Good luck against 'Grey'-Matte tomorrow, although not to jinx you or anything, I have a weird feeling you might lose *shrugs*. On another note, I did get your email, so Ill try to reply to that asap.
Anyway Gentlemen, back to the 'chat board' concept :P Heh, might need to rename my blog now...
-TAS
What, this is not a general Forum or Chatboard..?! ;P
Yeah, i have a bad feeling too.. He will probably bring Ga... Grey Knights to his first (ever) game against my ladz... *pukes*
Now, your stuff... ;) The Sisters you´re working on, are they some random models or have you already planned the units and have them organized like that on your desk..? I always do that myself but got curious how you do. Or was this random girl just a test-model that might get stripped (from the colour!) later on..?
How much Sister-stuff do you have by the way, 1000p..? Must say, I really like those stock Battle Sisters scuplted by Jes... (No, can´t start another army but they´re nice!)
(Yes, might have to get som Soul Drinker by the way... But 1000p(+) sounds more interesting! 8-) )
Glad you got the mail! :)
Tobias
Ok ok, its now a Chatboard/General Forum haha... Just dont ask me to start changing the entire layout to match one :P
I read your BR about your Ork Adventures and it looked pretty good. Surprised you held out for as long as you did, but nonetheless, well done! Im surprised he didnt take any GKs cos the dakka would have helped him alot.
As for my Sisters, its only been the test model so far, but when the color scheme is finalized it will become batch work for sure. I doubt Ill strip the mini (waste of time and paint) and it looks pretty good as it is for sure. But yeah, batch work for the next lot, although I wanna see if I can try and do some 'minor' converting (not that there is much I can do) just to give the models a bit more individuality since the army will be comprised of the same models over and over.
Id imagine I would have about 1000 pts of Sisters. I know I picked up the Exorcist before it went mail order only. I have an Immolator, probably two squads of Battle Sisters, half a Seraphim squad and a squad of Repentia. So it should make a good 1000 pts (note how I didnt say effective 1000 pts).
Heh, 1000 pts of Soul Drinkers? Should be nice to see, whack some random plastics together and show 'em off ;)

Hi, quick post:
http://www.leadership10.com/index.cfm/action/blogs.blog.blogEntry/blogID/1/entryID/59/end.htm
Enjoy! :)
Tobias
Oi! Where are you..? You´re not supposed to go AWOl again, are you..? :(
Tobias
yeah go paint/update and spam the internet! ;)
Fear not, for I have not gone AWOL again.... However I havent done alot as of late, so yeah...
Ill see how things go this weekend and we'll see about 'spamming' the internet once more!
-TAS
and how was the weekend?
I have made some piccies of my Flying tyrant. And as a good thief, I've stolen the idea from someone on Warpshadow to give myself a slight advantage on the Tyranid Monstrous Creature painting contest by trying to add several images to one complete image and thus only sending in 1 picture, but actually more than 1 :D.
If you're still with me...I'll figure it out tomorrow and post it on the bloggie (mine that is).
Weekend was blah.. Didnt even make it for the painting day (was too tired)....
So I take it you are overlaying several "small" pics of your Tyrant onto one large one, so almost as 'collage' of images?
Oh well, Ill wait til you post the pic to have a look =)
-TAS
Oi! Ya un-propa´git, get postin´ dose Sistas. ;P
Saw you on the B&C today but I guess you´ve been busy with other stuff and thus the lack of updates..?
Check this out if you have the time... ;)

*Gets back to painting Orks...* 8-)
Take Care,
Tobias
Hey Hey Hey, this is a Power Armor Chat Forum/Blog, not a green ork tide :P j/k!!
Nice report there, seems you are cleaning anything and everything off the board no matter what army you are using, well done!
Yeah I was on the B&C for a bit yesterday, although for some reason, maybe its just me, just finding it hard to post in half the forums these days haha...
So when is the next game and when are you painting up the tide? :P
-TAS
Howdy,
the Green Tide™®© is coming! 8-)
I was painting on those Sluggas yesterday (the black ones in the pics). Orks ae perty fun to paint but as usual, I´m slow... ;P
I think I know what you mean about the B&C... I have a hrd time trying to bother now and then. Dunno why but I´m a little bit annoyed about all re-peated threads I think.
No new games planned yet, I *must* paint more before the next one methinks...
And you, painted anything the last few days..?
Cheers!
Tobias
Oh gawd, NOT the green tide -_-;
:P
Glad to hear you are painting up the orks, Im sure you'll finish them before I finish anything even though you paint "slow".... So yeah, that answers the have I done anything bit lately!
I know what you mean about repeated threads. Then again, it cant be helped I guess. The B&C always has new members on a daily basis, and alot of the repeated threads arent always started by "newbies". Like I think I MIGHT do 3-4 posts per day IF im lucky, but thats about it, and alot of them seem to be in the Ruinous Powers and maybe PC&A.
-TAS
Just plugging the pictures of my tyrant (comment weedy git ^^)

bad lighting, bad cam..and I suck at taking mini-pics but for the rest: comment.

Hrmmm, doh, you already said what bits I cant comment on.. well chit.. what am I supposed to comment on? ;)
-TAS
