I completed my goal for November and was able to complete a squad of Terminators. I decided to get a leg up on my December goal and work on my Space Marine Rhino. I am both happy and sad to say that I was able to finish it in an afternoon's work. I must say, the Rhino went together with ease and I had no troubles at all. The only issue I am running into is that it is too cold to prime the model. I'm going to try to heat up my garage with a space heater and try out the primer on a test model.
To bolster my Space Marine force, I was able to get my hands on a Battle Force for well below the sticker price on Amazon. This will really help to build a strong foundation for my army giving me a combined total of four Troop squads.
On to other gaming news. I started assembling the contents of the Dwarf Warrior and Quarreller boxes. The Quarrellers rank up a bit wonky, but that is due to my inexperience assembling RaF units. I was able to take what I learned and applied it to the Warrior models. They rank up beautifully. In both of the Warrior and Quarreller boxes, there are models that have a cape. I plan to take these models and arm them with great weapons and model the mask/visor from the Warrior kit to make my Long Beards. They look very regal and noble with the capes and helms and I think they will stand out on the table.
To date, I am doing well on sticking to my If it isn't painted, it doesn't play policy; however, it has been hard, especially with the sheer number of models that go into a WHFB army. There are roughly thirty models in a 500pt force which means at my current rate of painting, it could take me three months or more to get those painted and on the table! I plan to continue working on my Dwarfs, assembling and painting them after I have finished working on my project for the month. Ideally, I would like to have an army completed that I am able to use to participate in the next Escalation League at my local Games Workshop.
