And Now for something...

Has it really been six months since I last put anything on here?

Wow!

Well, the 500 point Tyranid army is nearly there. Just need to paint the Broodlord and Retinue and then do all the details on the horde. Not much left.

However, I have come across a problem. Well, two problems.

Problem 1: For the next 250 points I want to add a Lictor (I have one nicely converted ready, pics to follow) and some Gargoyles. I was warned that these beasties were notoriusly hard to put together. Those warnings were true. They will be some time coming.

Problem 2: Lizardmen. My first every Fantasy army were Lizardmen, back when they were released in the box set for 4th ed? with the Bretonnians. Now I did have a nice army and about 5 years ago when their army book was released I bought the army set. I painted one skink. New army book came out this weekend. I had it on advnace order anyway, but still got down to the store. I will post a review up soon with my thoughts.

Why is this a problem? Well, I have dusted off the models and have embarked on a 500 point Lizardmen army. I now have more than one skink painted. I will put pictures up hopefully, tomorrow.

Anyway, I will post a more complete thing later.

One final thought. I had to check this out stright away in the army book.

Saurus Old-Blood on a Carnosaur with the Carnosaur Pendant, Sword of the Hornet and Maiming Shield with Light Armour. This guy and his mount will go Frenzy if they kill anything and neither will lose it for the rest of the game. So when they are frenzied they will get 7 str 5 attacks from the Old-Blood that always strike first at WS 6. 5 str 7 attacks from the Carnosaur that inflict D3 wounds. They cause Terror and the Old-Blood has a 2+ Armour save, the Carnosaur is T 5 with a 4+ save.

More on him tomorrow.
