The Cogs are still turning!

Hello all so post 3 and though not too much to report I am still aiming to keep this going. I have decided to take a leaf from inquisitor Steve’s book and layout my blog in a set fashion



Inbox: latest purchases and plans

Workbench: current Projects

Outbox: completed items

Reports from the Front lines: battle reports

Community Update: Club goings on



So on to the new format:



Inbox:

So I recently received the following items:

 Magnets for completing my ghost/doom arks

 Bits to make my command squad



Workbench:



 Club terrain: completed the base coats and dry brushing on both my ork and chaos shrine/idol just require basing and detail, with finally coat of weathering

 Started to build command squad and also

 Harath Shen apothecary special character



Outbox: nothing to report and feel ashamed…



Reports from the front line: got a game organised for Thursday at my local GW looking forward to taking the necrons for a spin for the first time since purchase in January



Community Update: club now has a website! www.droclub.webs.com . This as well as the face book page will allow the club to communicate outside of hours and to advertise to new members. There is a forum that requires approval to join so bare with me with responses and also profiles must be created to post items. Also had a number of enquires about the club now from outside my usual circles which is great that the word is slowly getting out there. The club can take 12 members at a one time at current plan with 4 boards and painting facilities. I hope that this is enough, but don’t want to over reach on my first attempt. Be nice if 6-8 people turned up but any would be great lol. Also the club is asking for support with terrain and boards in the future to help make it a great experience for all.



Well that’s me for now

So Monday morning and my first progress update post on my blog. As talked about in the other posts I have began work on my necrons and have completed a test model complete minus basing

Overall I am very happy with the outcome and the scheme, its simple but striking enough to not get too boring. My one complaint is that the model doesn’t look beaten down enough to fit the background and I may play around with the weathering powders from forge world. Also the next major decision before batch painting can commence is the basing scheme. I think I still want to go for a red Martian sand colour to give that alien like feel. I must say overall I enjoyed the change from power armour.



Also this week is received a nice package from bits and kits store, for my before mentioned power armoured forces to help a couple of projects along I am quite excited to start, which I can now while waiting for forge world order.



Other projects ongoing currently:



Building

 Captain Pellas Mir'san, build from black reach model

 Command squad for above captain, loads of flamers and boarding shields

 Malakim Phoros chapter master of lamenters, got all the bits I need now to finally make him

Painting:

 Ork idol totem, these are for the club fantasy battle boards, will hope to post pics on site soon as well as face book page, if looks good will make more as cheap to build

 9 necron warriors to match test model



Club Stuff:



So the Durham Raiders Outpost maybe finally getting some steam and looking like being a actual club. Currently we are waiting on the venues manager to get back to us on booking or first date and trial run of the club. The face book page we are hoping to utilize a little more adding updates of terrain and boards being made and also run polls to get feedback and possible levels of interest. Also I have started to build a website to host our news and forums for the club though thinking that face book page might suffice?



So hope this new format for the blog helps
