Go Spacer's, Go Spacer's, Ra, Ra, Ra!

Another LPL entry and another project that threatens to butt in and crash the party!

Having seen loads of great Blood Bowl teams on the LAF, played a few games of the PC game and dug the few old Chaos players that have been lurking around my collection for years - still don't remember buying them, can't remember where they came from and have never used them! - I have finally succumbed to the lure of the Beautiful Game.

Here's my first team - a mixed race affair because I couldn't decide on one - the Slann-In-Spacer's, the Slann in Space's very own pub team! There are various other Humans, Elves, Dwarfs and a plucky little Halfling to add to their number when I get the chance.


This could be a dangerous little project as I have found myself looking up scratch-built pitches and dug-outs. Not to mention the full Orc and the fast growing Dark Elf/Chaos teams I have waiting in the wings. Having purchased the second edition box set I also have the polystyrene astrogranite pitch to paint up...

Pest Control...

Another LPL entry folks - this time some old Rogue trader stuff that I've been meaning to paint up for years.

It certainly was nice to get the old rulebook out to flip through looking for inspiration!



Although I do now have an urge to get some more of the old lead beakies to make up a full squad...

... and one Ambull is never enough!

A new Slann-t on things...

Morning all - long time no see so apologies for that first of all! I'm afraid the usual culprits of work, life and all that have conspired to keep me from my duties here. That and entering the 6th Lead Painter's League on the LAF as well...

For those of you who may have been following (avidly hopefully!) my Orc's Drift project - don't worry! I haven't forgotten entirely about it. Unfortunately I didn't get round to re-photographng the final scenario before the LPL started and it has been monopolising my hobby time since. I do, however, have a couple of weeks of holidays coming up the week after next, so keep your eyes peeled!

To show that I haven't just been lazing around watching crap telly and genarally doing nothing constructive with my life this past month here's a few pics of my LPL entries. Well the Slann one anyway.


As I have to paint a new team of at least five minis each week for the competition I thought I may as well use this to my advantage and get on with some of the units for my next big project. Return of the Magnificent Sven! In the coming weeks I hope to add more Slann, Amazons and Norse berserkers (including the original Karl Ustracutter mini that I finally got my hands on!) to my pile of painted minis. Not forgetting lots of big, nasty jungle-type creepy crawlies...
