Stripping paint.

So I bought some second hand Space Marines from a guy in Auckland at a very good price. I needed to strip them, so did some investigating and found the Dettol and water method.

They came out well.

RANT......

Ok, so I don't normally rant much, but this just blows my mind.

This is the spray paint I use to undercoat my models;

It works really well and am happy with it, especially seeing its like $14 a can.

So I ran out recently, and the closest place I can get some more is 20mins away at Toyworld Paraparaumu.

My Wife went to WOW on Sat, so I asked her to get me some more spray paint. Then I realised that the new White Dwarf was available, so asked her to go to GW and get me the mag and a can of Chaos Black spray. MISTAKE!!!!

So I came back from Petes on Sat and found the mag and paint waiting for me. I asked my wife how much it cost....... $25 she said. I thought that was ok. Then she informs me that was with a $20 GW voucher!!!

So $31 for a can of black spray.....I fucking fell of my chair!!!! 

The art of Submarining...

We all live in a yellow submarine....a yellow submarine....a yellow submarine.

So last weekend I travelled up to Auckland for Guardcon. The field was around 24 strong, a smallish field but full of good players.
I crashed at Rory's place in the Potter room which was good fun.
I will give a quick run down of my games with a few random picks added in.

Sup G-Units!!

I have been busy painting recently so my blogging has been a bit slack.
I have Guardcon next week and am really looking forward to meeting up (and beating up) the Auckland guys. :)

With my decent placing at C2A, I am hopefully safe for Masters qualification. But I will need Pete to do another ranking on his blog to confirm this!!

I am taking Orcs to Guardcon. They are my favourite army, and thought I would give them another run seeing as they behaved themselves at C2A. The list I am taking is:
