GENERAL : Finished Reading HORUS HERESY : OUTCAST DEAD

Wow.. that was a  rather  interesting read. No actual Legion Story just a few renegade Marines and what was left of the past. I do not understand why the Crusader Army was there on Terra in the first place..

And I was surprised on how they changed (well from what I knew) of when Magnus arrived on Terra.

This book left me more questions than answers though.. maybe it is meant to be.

Hmm..

GENERAL : HORUS HERESY : Age of Darkness read.

Ah well looking on the bright side of things of being sick for 5 days is that I managed to finish another Horus Heresy book in under a day.. The short stories were okay.. not as mind blowing as FIRST HERETIC but still good..

It does prequel and sequel to more of the stories along the way.

Now on to reading The Outcast Dead.

GENERAL - WIP and a game here and there.

Time Space Warp

Well there goes August. The whole second floor had to be repainted and one room had replaced its ceiling so all of my stuff for the second half of August went into storage. Only managed to finish the painting by the start of September. That means my plans to finish painting something has been hugely delayed. That means that I had stopped working on the grot crew batteries after priming them white (and putting on some Vallejo Green) .. now I need to clean off the dust.. (doh) before I can start on them again.

Then I got sidetracked and managedto partially finish something.. and that something was actually a SM drop pod. (well that came out of the blue). Obviously just partly assembled it until I ran out of super glue.. at which point I just started on that Skyray of mine.



Gaming at the Shakk

-Managed to get two games in at the Shakk, the place where I first started to play Warhammer 40k back in the 90s. Got a game with Benjie again using my old Marine army (had to scrounge for them) with me doing a Stern Guard drop pod list and just getting in your face against the Imperial Guard. While my second game I just faced off against Obi's DA army.. Still need to figure out how to face off against Terminators.. oh well.



Working on the Skyray -

I lost a couple of bits while I was moving around place to place assembling the model. One obvious and the other not so. Finding this out distracted me when I was assembling the front sensor and made me screw up some more. Sigh. Maybe I can finish this within the week as I err plan to just stay at home.. (to er save up on purchases and maybe do some assembly work)

Here we go with this week.

So many projects.. Need to focus.
