BRIEF UPDATE ON MY ABSENCE

 Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been commenting on your mighty fine blogs, or even replying to comments on my own blog, there is a very simple answer to this, For the last week, and this coming week I have been in and out of hospital, I have a procedure booked for Wednesday, where they will hopefully be able to drain two thirds of my left lung of fluid, and also find out the cause of this. Hopefully then everything will return to normal and I can catch up on all your great content. The ones I receive by email I have been able to read, which has helped keep the sanity, while undergoing so many tests, exams and scans. Hopefully talk soon, so until then stay safe and have fun !

Cheers Dave

DON'T DRONE ON

 Back when I started my Night Hawk army, I spent a long time thinking about what there Dreadnoughts would look like. As The army was mostly flight based, I thought a flying dreadnought would fit, unfortunately my opponents weren't too happy with a very quick dreadnought that had two heavy weapons with a pair of rending claws.  To be honest I can see there point, but what to do with the first one I built, with my recent painting of this project I came up with a new idea, what if I made it into a drone, now this would mean weaker armour than a dreadnought, and also no rending attack as they would be landing claws only, also I thought that having a controller on the board for it would give two ways of taking it out, as if the controller was killed the drone would no longer have any function.

This is a repaint of my original one to bring the colour scheme more up to date, the V is because I have another four of the old advanced space crusade chaos dreadnought to transform into more drones. I have a question which I'd like your opinion on, should the controllers be Servitors, Marines, or tech Marines ? I can see arguments for each so would value your opinion. That's all for today, so until next time stay safe, and have fun !

TOTAL FAIL

 Yes it's true I have failed a painting challenge for the first time in my blogging history, even worse it's one where conversions and sculpting are key, which is kind of my go to, no excuses from me just couldn't get it done in time so how far did I get, the  bulk of the body is done, just missing some details, the legs are in varying states, and only one completed. the brain is sculpted and painted, still need to cast the color resin around it, so all in all about 50% done.

Will have to do way better next year as it's the 10 th anniversary of Forgotten Heroes, as I always try to beat my score from the previous year, that's another fail this year, but sets the bar low for next year ! LOL That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
