Russ number 5!

Leman Russ number 5 has just rolled off the production line, I must admit the production has slowed due to illness in the essential services and nutrition department. And bad weather has also caused delays.

For some reason it has taken me a while to get these guys painted, I blame the winter.

Tank envy

I just love the Leman Russ tank! More guns than any other armoured vehicle of its size, cheap, well armoured and weapon options to tackle any foe. One thing that I have been working on is storage and weathering. While I'm well on my way, I'm looking forward to developing and learning more techniques. I've got an old Russ to experiment on which makes it easy, its always hard to try something new on a brand new kit you've just spent hours painting.

The above tank is almost done, I'm just putting the finishing touches on the demolisher cannon, heavy flamers and multi melta's.

Just checking how things work

Useful links

Here's a few links that I've found useful, and to be honest it easier to follow them from here than to navigate GW's web site.

First post????

Welcome to my very first blog......hopefully I'll be able to figure this thing out.

The New Maw fighting 54th. They are my very own regiment of Imperial guard, and over the next few months I'll be posting my progress on expanding, modelling and painting the army. Also I'll try and get a few battle reports and pic's of games up too. And with a bit of luck I'll start a simple map based campaign soon also.
I'll probably get this blog up to speed with where I'm at with this army over the next few days, and also start developing the fluff for the 54th, their home world and its history and place in the imperium.
