The competition has begun!

Hello friends.

Today was the first day all four of us had gotten together. Fiddly had just purchased his new Eldar Battleforce while Fuz had dug up a box of Tyranids hidden deep beneath the earth. Blind is having some sultry sweet daemonettes shipped in special from America, 'just for him. Meanwhile I am busy setting to work on my Black Reach Space Marines. Need to come up with a good colour scheme. Hmm...

We spent the better part of five hours working away on our miniatures. Fiddly turned up late but was was quick to get into the swing of things, belting out guardian after guardian in his industrial construction yard. Fuz, bastard 'nid player that he is, managed to get three times as many models assembled as myself, pausing only to laugh as I struggled with my captains' bike. All the while Blind strafed the shadows of the Hall, occasionally stopping to reveal new esoteric wisdom from the latest ancient text he had "recovered".

Here are some photos of the group.

Blind_Watcher sporting his customary one-eyed stare.

Fiddly Bits hard at work getting rid of those "paint lines".

Fuz giving the team his very best troll face, "U mad bro?"

The colour scheme I came up with in the Dawn of War 2 army painter. Very halloween.

The first six tactical marines, biker-mounted captain and melta dreadnaught undercoated and ready to begin painting.

I think I'll leave that for another day.
