030 - Puppies Vs Hobbies

I have added a monstrous creature to the collection. This little guy.

So my wife and I got a puppy recently as we wanted to get one for ages. Me being the man of the house said he would take two weeks off work to look after the little monkey. After reading on Google that puppies have eighteen hours of sleep a day. I thought great, that's hours of hobby time for two weeks I'll get so much done. How wrong I was!
Apparently puppies are very full on so my hobby marathon was curtailed due to playing (which is good) and cleaning up mess (which is bad). I had twenty minutes here and there during nap times so I got all of my small hobby jobs that I could find and set about seeing them off one by one.

I have varnished and based some cultists which have been sitting in a box for a year. It has bumped up my large cultist unit up to 31 members which is a nice blob of expendable troops to have.

I am going to have to find smaller tasks to do like this  while the puppy is really young but it is nice when real life is full on as a little hobby goes a long way.

029 - Event Only Cataphractii

Having kept up to date on the Forge World Bulletin we got a sneak preview of the event only miniature that is being released first at Warhammerfest.

He is an absolute beast. With all the equipment built into his Cataphractii  armour I can see a few people using him as a Siege Breaker. The event only miniatures are a nice treat and aren't usally too expensive.  I really like the model and will definitely be picking him up!

028 - Deamons In Another Day

Continuing on my Nurgle Deamon army I have finished some more of Papa Nurgle's minions. 

As before with the Plaguebearers I used the ghostly technique of a white undercoat, a wash of Nilhiakh Oxide then a drybrush of white.

The first guy up is 1980s Great Unclean One. In game terms I will use him as a Deamon Prince as he is a little small compared to the more modern Greater Deamons. I stuck a spare metal Nurgling on the base for flavour.

The guy with the scythe is actually an old Epic model of Mortarion the Death Guard Primarch. I got this guy in the early 90s and used him as a Nurgle Chaos Sorcerer. However nowadays he is a Herald of Nurgle.

I had an Ebay splurge at New Year and got this Nurgle Champion. I love the face on this guy. Again he is going to be used as a Herald of Nurgle.

These are my HQ choices. I may add more in the future but I think they look great. Now I have to do a load of little Nurglings. Go team Nurgle!
