Battlefront Miniatures Factory Tour

Here's a rare glimpse of the Battlefront Miniatures production line in Malysia for all those interested. Plenty of spare parts and resin there. Just glad I'm not the one grinding it down.

Bug In The System

The Corsairs of Khorne teamed up with the Tau to take on the Eldar and Ultramarines last weekend. The Ultramarines bought quite a few armoured toys with them including 3 Landraiders in a squadron and a a squadron of speeders with assault cannons.

All was looking good until the Corsairs and Tau allies discovered that the Eldar had been conducting mind control experiments on a group of Tyranids. The big bugs supported the Eldar and smurf advance. All the while Ultramarine Devestators poured fire into the Tau armour. The Tau took heavy casualties and the Corsairs lost their much revered Defilier in the first turn. The Corsair's Landraider and a Tau Hammerhead bravely had a shoot out against the 3 Ultramarine Landraiders. Little did they know an Eldar Wraithlord and Carnifex was looming up behind the smurf tanks. The marine tanks parted and the Carnifex hit the Corsair's battle line smashing into the Noise Marines. The Slanesh fought against the large Nid bravely despite wearing hot pink power armour but were no match in the end getting gored by the beasts tusks.

With the loses to the Tau it was only a matter of time before the Corsairs crumbled against the onslaught. Kharn could see the battle was lost and jumped over the side of one of the objective bridges into the river below. Landing in front of the waiting genesteelers. These provided just to fast for him and cut him down before he could return in blows with his poweraxe.

It was a good game but too many heavies on the opposition proved difficult.

Kharn will return!!

Touch Up That Camo Paint Soldier

Well it's been a little while since my last post.

I've been busy repairing my Cadian armour for an upcoming 4000pt a side tank battle at the club. There might be a few new editions too but I'm keeping them under wraps at the moment. Plus the fact they still need a bit of work on them. Then there's the running repairs and touch ups to other vehicles such as missing heavy stubbers. So it's go, go, go.

My pirate warband for Mordheim has arrived and they're pretty nice looking minis. I'm busy preparing the bases for undercoating. With a bit of luck I might bring these along to our club with the tanks in a couple of weeks.

Photos to follow.
