Pre Order your XV109 Y'vahra and rules

Which Tau player wouldn't want a fast attack Riptide battlesuit which can swoop every other turn (but can't vector - which is fine by me), with hit and run and good at killing space marines, terminators, hordes armies and vehicles.  I must be reading these rules wrong - wow, wow, wow, wow check out the rules here Link.  I must have one NOW............

Showcase Urien Rakarth the saviour of the Dark Eldar

With the soon demise of Asdrubael Vect and Baron Sathonyx from the Dark Eldar Codex is Urien Rakarth the number one contender for named Characters in tournaments?  I think so but I have yet to see how much he buffs the army :) what do the other Dark Eldar players think?

New Forge World images showing the Y'vahra and the Imperial Knights scales

A bit of a change from the demoralizing rumours that is the Dark Eldar - look what I found in my in box, another image of the Y'vahra and he looks bigger then I thought. Cooooool! 

The Dark Eldar Codex and the new Paper Airplane

Due to the many rumors going around the passed few days it's very difficult to figure out will be going on with the Dark Eldar codex, but one way to get round that is to buy the damn thing and suck it and see.  I know one thing I wont start spending what limited funds I have on the new shiny before I read the codex, including the new Voidraven Bomber.  £48 is an extortionate amount of money for potentially a paper airplane.  It's rumored to have AV 10/10/10 and when fully loaded the same points as a Landraider while more expensive to purchase "not good in my opinion".  True it might have some awesome and considerable amount of firepower but it matters not if it gets shot out of the sky by any intercept volley fire as soon as it arrives, which will happen due to it being a center piece model and a considerable threat if left alone.

Other rumors I have found bewildering and others I am looking forward to field.  No Vect !? What are you mad?  It has been rumored that it will be in a supplement codex, but come on that hasn't happened in other codices, again not happy.  But positives are the Razorwing Jetfighter moving to Fast attack opening up a slot in Heavy support  for either another Ravager, Voidraven bomber (if it's good) but what's really interesting is fielding up to 3 Cronos and Talos Pain engines with feel no pain in one unit ++ :) 

But all these are rumors and I've already pre-ordered my codex I'll just have to wait and see :) 

Showcase XV104 Riptide

With armies on Parade looming I thought I would showcase one of my Riptides, I've selected it because I think it's is my favorite pose, it show off the thrust flames coming from his jet pack and another Tau holographic public information station, painted using my "Blue glow effect - Airbrush tutorial in 3 easy steps." I hope it's well liked and as usual comments are welcome :)

The New Dark Eldar Voidraven Bomber

Look whats hit the web thanks to talkwargaming.  Oh baby for such a cool model I hope the stats are better to warrant me purchasing a new flyer :)

Is it just me? But when ever I play, paint or see new cool Dark Eldar stuff all I want to do is watch Stargate Atlantis, bring on the cull :)

Blast from the past part 1 - Dark Angels Grand Master Azrael

Years ago in 2007 when I was short of funds for my plastic crack addiction, I started painting all my old unwanted models to sell on ebay.  Azrael was my first attempt at pushing my boundaries of painting just to sell.  Unfortunately at heart I'm a speed painter and I have a very short attention span and find it very difficult to spend all that time on one small figure, as time went by and the more figures I attempted to paint, the more I slipped back into speed painting mode, which obviously reduced the quality of the paint job so after a couple of months I gave it up.  So in the end to save money I gave up drinking beer, saved a fortune, lost loads of weight and everything I painted I kept win win win :)      

To see my other sold items you can visit my "coolminiornot" homepage and give them a vote if you so fancy :)

This post is dedicated to Dave Western to inspire him to push on and finish his Dark Angel army which have been on the go for about 3 - 10 years and we have still never had a game with them :)
