Well well well, it appears Games Day 2010 is creeping up on us, and this year Road To War will be represented by JT and me!
Tickets have been bought and arrived, flights and accommodation are next(come pay day) and then its time to start saving for all the fun and games that are to follow!
Those that are visiting the site (if there even are any of you) will maybe notice a slight difference to the layout. Until I can decide on how to set the site out correctly i've put the blog on the front page as this is where all the "action" is just now.
Keep checking for updates, I will continue to update the blog as well as the site and fingers crossed we can get this baby on the move!

2nd round of doubles completed
It's been a while since a post was put up.
On Tuesday we completed another long session of 40k. In this round we extended our points to 750 points each. Decided to use a random dice program to see who would team with whom. Fraser managed to join with Jamie so Orks and 'Nids and i was teamed with Mike so Space Pups and Chaos Marines.
I think one day we will remember to actually post up a Bat Rep but we pulled up an annihilation mission and proceeded to attack each other.
It was a fun game with only 1 complication with a rule using a Mawloc. Can a Mawloc who scatters too far come up inside a building and hit anything on the 1st floor? This for us was a game stopper until we decided that it just came up due to the wording of the attack being too vague.
Next week it might be Tyranids with Chaos Marines vs Space Wolves and Orks, there may be an Imperial Guard list joining us too which should make for an interesting night. Hopefully we will be able to Bat Rep it!

Long Time No Post
WOW! Its been a long time since this has been updated!
So what's happened since then:
1. I've gotten more models, running quite a good sized army now
2. JT has started playing Chaose Space Marines (along side his Dark Eldar and Tau)
3. Jamie has swapped to Orks
4. Fraser is continuing to play Tyranids but is considering buying a secondary Blood Angels army
5. We bought a papering table and two 2x4 boards to place across it
6. We played a 1000point doubles games (500 each) which was really fun, it was going quite well until I had to cut it short (getting back to the flat after 1am on a work night isn't a great idea) Watch this space for some pictures of the battle, we've gone up in the world!!
7. JT, Myself and possibly Jamie are all going to Games Day 2010!!!! We decided on this yesterday and bought our tickets today, the Road To War lads are on the move!
I have some more painted models and many more to be painted, I bought a can of Army Painter Uniform Grey today so going to see how that goes as a base coat... Also bought a KR case from the fine Kingdom Of Adventure I've started to put my chaps in it and will get some pictures up asap.
Other than that i'm sure there has been a load of stuff going on, but I just can't remember it! Watch this space!!!

Knights Of Russ - First Grey Hunters Squad
So here is the first of my Grey Hunters squad, there are still a few little touch ups that need done but they are mostly done, as the first models i've painted in over a decade i'm pretty damn chuffed at them! I've also included the first of my Wolf Guard however I feel there is something missing from it.
Sorry again for the quality of the pictures, they were taken with my phone's camera.

Bahamut takes shape
Hi folks, Been a while sicnce i posted something so thought id show face and give a little update, i have found a paint scheme that i like and have a couple genestealers painted. now bare in mind last time i had painted i was like 11 and it was only a coat of blue on a space marine haha so lets get these bad boys shown then...
1st Model
2nd Model
double teamed?? yes please!
So as you can see went with a Hawk Turqoise base coat, done a couple coatings of that, dry brushed some ice blue over it. claws and talons done bleached bone with some blood red dry brushed on the tips for the blood effect which im quite pleased with if i do say so myself, which i do. i also used bllod red for some flesh parts on the model as well which fits nice and also red eyes. i cant quite paint teeth as of yet, bit difficult but ill get there!
last but not least i coating the carcace in liche purple and while it was still a little bit wet dry brushed ice blue over the top which gives a nice light purple.
So thats it for now, ill be sure to post more photos when ive got more painted but for now, catch ye later!
Knights Of Russ - Wolf Standard
Here is a work in progress of a Grey Hunter with a Wolf Standard, lemme know what you think. I don't have certain paints hence the random unpainted bits.
