... Painting Tyranid 40k army

I Finally finished the first two of my 40k models, only about a million to go. ( note to my self never collect a horde army again.). First up an old school Carnifex with a venom cannon. This is a Heavy support unit and i think of it as the tank of the Hive mind.

Next up is the Tyranid Warrior, these are the control nodes of the army and a key unit to any Tyranid swarm.

I have another Warrior on my painting table but since i have signed up to a slow growing Warmachine league at my local club the Tyranid will go to the back of the queue again. Also with the 20% price increase (on all the models i wanted next any way) at games workshop i find that other games are now starting to get a following at the club, so i will be busy with other games so it will be a while before i have my next 40k game.

The other game that has i find my self wanting to play is Infinity and i am itching paint theses models and since a battle consists of only 6 models i would like to field only painted models. So to sum up the target is to finish a Cryx's starter box then Infinity starter box, Dystopian Wars starter is next and last up the Tyranids.

... Playing World of Tanks

This is a FREE to play MMO (kind of) where the player takes control of a Tank (3rd person) form the WWII era and simply put, kills other players. Each game lasts about 10-20 minutes.

Wold of Tanks is a great simply game which i can not stop playing! Once you log on you are taken to a arming depot where you will pick one of the three light tanks that you start with (one from each faction Russian  German and USA) and then simply hit the battle button at the top of the screen and fight.

There is a small tutorial video which explains the how to play but the game play is simply aim your tanks gun and fire. The MMO element comes in once you have had a few games and you have obtained some research points which let to unlock upgrades for your tanks and more tanks. There are several types of tanks including artillery which are all fun to play and thus you match you tank to your play style or mood and a way you go. But once you are out of the starter tanks ammo cost money and so does repairing you tank so be warned make sure you keep at least one of the starter tanks encase you run out of funds and become unable repair or re-arm your tank.

Again fun game diffidently give this one a try. ( HERE ) Once i have played a few more games i will post a more complete review with some screen shot, and some tips once i have worked some out.

... Painting Blazing Sun Fleet

I have been trying to finish off all the part painted model that i have on my painting table and here are the first few. The first is a squad of Empire of the blazing sun cruisers. These are from the Spartan Games game Dystopian Wars 

In the background you can see the Carrier and the foreground you can see a fighter token

Below in the background here you can see the bomber models and a corner of the battle ship

These are just three models from the starter box of  14 models not including the Carrier (which is not in the starter set), bombers and far to many fighter tokens, but its a start. I may complete a set of miniatures for a game one day!
