Since the beginning of Warhammer 40k I have been collecting the same army, Crimson Fists. While I have dabbled in other armies (such as currently putting together Grey Knight Allies) I haven't made a concerted effort into creating a 2nd fully painted army...
Until now.
Today I am starting a WIP post to follow my progress on my Farsight Enclaves army. Not only will I be putting together a new army, I'll also be trying a slew of new painting techniques to increase my knowledge and ability in the hobby area of Warhammer.
Here's a group shot of what I've managed to collect and purchase.
What we have here:
Commander Farsight
Darkstrider
Longshot
2x boxes of Pathfinders (Marker Lights are the new black!)
2x Hammerheads (one will be a Skyray)
Crisis Suit Boxset
3x Piranha
36x NOS Firewarriors (in a box to the right)
48x Kroot (same box)
Commander Shadowsun (box)
Sniper Team
Devilfish
The majority of this stuff I picked up through trades and have been stashed in my closet eagerly awaiting the new codex.
I've already started putting together an eight man Firewarrior Team:
And I have a test model already knocked out:
This is the test model however. After talking to hyvemind I picked up some new materials at the local art store to try and create my own oil based washes which will hopefully help me pick out more details!
Andddd.....what WIP wouldn't be complete without an image of what we're drinking during the process!
I picked this beer up last week while visiting a friend in Boston....and drink it happily during my model cleaning. It's definitely a lighter ale with a taste of citrus in it. So far I'm pretty impressed with it!
I'll make sure to update this post as I go with the army!
