Glory and Honour!!!



That was one frantic Hobby Nite. I had to finish painting both map boards for the Arenxis Minoris Campaign. One only had black prime, the other had basic drybrush and a river done. So, it was total focus, heads down, paintbrushes brandished, and furious painting was to be had. But all was well, and by the end of Hobby Nite, both maps were ready for battle. My sincere thanks to Daniel, who came to visit Legio for the first time, and couldn't help himself and just had to have a go at painting the maps. He did a great job with the green continent, and we are most grateful.

And I know Jeff, Ivan and Iqbal at the other hobby table had a glorious evening too. Jeff actually finished basecoating 14 (fourteen) models in the space of just one Hobby Nite. That's a lot of paint. Ivan finally got the ball rolling with his painting, and I truly look forward to seeing the models ready. Iqbal's heavily converted Chaos Rhino was finally primed, and I had a peek of his recently-turned Obliterator models - nice job. I won't reveal much more until he's ready to show all (which is next Hobby Nite ... lol).

And while the 6th Pzgdr rested in their figure case, there was much dice rolling to be had. I missed out most of the action (due to the aforementioned paintjob), but I did see Alvin's Chaos take on Iz' Orks on the city table. And later in the night, Iz' truly scary Orks were seen giving Khairul's Saim Hann a severe beating. I also noticed for the first time that the Saim Hann army has kustom tokens made to represent the psychic powers of the Seer Council. Nice.

I know Doc, Peter, Arzmi, Rizal, Faizal, Jin and a bunch of others were on hand with their armies, but I did miss out on the action. Perhaps some of you can update us on some of the highlights. And I almost forgot - it was the Hobby Nite after Raya, and the guys brought in all kinds of food and drink for all to partake, so there was much merriment to be had amidst the din of battle and heavy metal.

I lurv Hobby Nite! And next week, the kick-off of the League AND the campaign!

  8. Can't wait till the league starts this Friday. Some names I expected to see in the league aren't on the list though. I know Nahri is finalizing his list, I'll see who else is procrastinating with their lists.

  13. Mad Doc's Orks from the Purple Heart Klan are ready for battle....

    @khairul- yeah man, I don't mind bringing some food stuff over...that will be great. I have been bringing beer for the past few weeks but only Jeff, me and occasionally Peter do some justice to those cans. I would prefer that we bring not too much food coz I hate to see food going to waste.

    @Iz- Grazhgkull is waiting to kick Wazdakka's exhaust soon....be prepared....huah huah huah!
