Happy Independence Day to those in the U.S. It’s funny, I started looking into wargames about a year ago. I though maybe the American Revolution would be a fun period to game in. I’d learn some history of the founding of my country while getting some gaming in. And here I am now, just finishing my first playable army. It has nothing to do with American history, or even reality, but hey, that’s life.
I’m going to go ahead and call the Necron army Mostly Done. The big boys with plasma blades aren’t done, since I wasn’t sure how to paint them (the blades). But everything else is pretty much done. I missed the end of June by a couple of days, but I now have a totally playable Combat Patrol to start playing 40k with, so I’ll take this as a win.
Also I worked a little on the Untamed Beasts. They’re not done, but they are getting there. I don’t even have anyone to play Warcry with yet, so that project is not in as much as a hurry.
In other news, I bought an airbrush. I’m hoping it will make some of the boring steps (like base coating) go faster. I think it will be a fun tool to learn. Wish me luck.
For next steps, I would like to get the Necrons to 100% so I can totally put the project to bed. It will still nag at me that it’s not done. I guess that means commiting to a painting method for the plasma blades, even if they don’t look good. So be it. Done is better than perfect. For Warcry, I think I’ll have to build up two warbands if I want to play. So maybe finish off the Untamed Beasts, then one of the warbands from Catacombs, then work on the terrain.
Until next time, game on!
