Although this old pic doesn't represent all my stealers I am starting to get close to the full Leviathan Dataslate numbers. I've 24 mixed Macragge and original Space Hulk stealers, 9 mixed tentacles and scything talons, the 'errant 11', the 10 original Space Hulk stealers gifted by my friend Tom, 12 from an ebay auction and the 8 Deathstorm gifing me 74 in total. Of course that means I have another 30 to paint and despite having progressed particularly well with the Spawn of Cryptus I am rather reminded that I hate painting Genestealers! Still, they're back which is GOOD NEWS!
I also picked up my silver Armies on Parade medal. I'm honestly really chuffed with it, although the other guys think I 'doth protest too much'.
One other thing I did discover is the new Dark Angels Dark Vengeance expansion set. I think I just assumed this was extra copies of the models inside the DV boxset so had dismissed it. It turns out to be pretty much everything I want for my Dark Angels [aside from a Ravenwing Darkshroud]. I wanted to do some Deathwing Knights and potetnially the Ravenwing Knights too. I thought the Nephilim Jet Fighter was pretty cool, though not all that good in the game. So it looks like a great deal. Fingers crossed I get some Christmas money and if my Google AdSense can mature [only £8 to go on the advert links] I'll pick up a Knight too and that should be it for 2015
I'm also attempting a trade on facebook to pick up some Fleshborer Hives so I can kit my Carnifex out. It seems like I may be getting the better deal as it's currently swapping for the Feeder Tendril heads in the DeathStorm box. I want them too, but the Fleshborer Hives are more important. I'll let you know how it goes.
So glad that the Genestealers found their way home. I hate losing things. Happy Holidays, Dave.
ReplyDeleteMe too, it really stressed me out and was clawing away at what little motivation I had. It wasn't everything stopping me but a major downer. Great to have them back. Have a good one.
DeleteNephilims rock! Best and most fun unit in my army. Really tempted to get another.
ReplyDeleteHave a good Christmas.
That's sold me then. Fingers crossed it won't be too long before I can pick this box up and then I can set about painting all the stuff I've got. The hobby season has been pretty slow going but I've still got three quarters of a year to go so I can make some ground up yet.
DeleteAll the best to you and yours.
So glad you found the gene stealers Dave! A nice happy ending! Hope you have a lovely holiday!
ReplyDeleteProbably a lot of panic and sulking over nothing but I'm glad they're back too. Enjoy the festivities too.
DeleteI knew they'd come back, wagging their little vestigial appendages behind them. I'm sure they sowed the seed of planetary destruction in their absence. There seem to be a lot more genestealers/broodlords around these days anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd plenty on ebay, I even see a whole sprue for just £8 with Free Postage! Now I just need for some of theeses DeathStorm boxes to sell so I can offload my own but not at the bargain basement prices this fire sale has caused.
