4 Corners of 30k - Week 6

Week 6 - Friends That Go The Distance

When you have a friend traveling the world and they send you a picture like the one below; you can't help but be psyched!

That picture was taken from the headquarters of Games Workshop and Forge World! And that friend was DtDGs very own Ironleaf!

Once he reported his whereabouts to the crew and his willingness to order stuff for us, chaos ensued! "Crap", I thought, "what should I order while he's there?" My decision was limited to A. Ironleaf's pocket cash and B. what I could afford this week?! It was a beneficial situation because there would be no foreign transaction fees, free shipping (GW extended the offer to him) and he can (somehow) redeem taxes for items bought in the UK.

Here's what our friend Ironleaf picked up  for me:

LEGION PRAETORS (hot off the press!)

CATAPHRACTII PATTERN TERMINATORS

CERBERUS HEAVY TANK DESTROYER

ALPHA LEGION DREADNOUGHT

So, that means that my list is 90% acquired!

Now for progress on the home front!

I decided to prime blue in order to save some time. Army Painter makes some AWESOME products for that! So I went out to one of the local games stores and grabbed myself a can of Army Painter Navy primer and went to work!

When I ran out of primer I decided to go online because it was Sunday and I knew my LGS was out of stock. To my surprise, I found out Navy had been discontinued! A quick e-mail to Jonas Faering over at Army Painter confirmed this sad, sad fact. Now Jonas did have some secret stashes of Navy but international shipping, etc would have been a pain. So the next best thing was to spray over the Navy with one of their current colors; Ultramarine.

I went back to my LGS and told my sad, sad story and pity was administered to me. Chris sold me Ultramarine at a huge discount in order to make up for the unrecoverable Navy paint.

Well onward and upward, as they say! This week has been building and priming for me....LOTS of building and priming. Next week, my goal is to detail 1 model for you guys to see!

For the Emperor!

Swonkob Bo - OUT!
