Since the last post, a lot of hectic stuff has happened. The country changed management earlier, but the effects of it starts to really hit much later, beginning with the move to repeal GST and reintroducing SST to the country, and that takes a hit on my company's profile. But that does not mean things are not moving here.
Managed to snag myself some otherwise not a priority models from the secondary market, beginning with the Skitarii side of Forgebane a few weeks after it came out. I had already ordered the manuals online earlier but the offer from the secondary market was too enticing.
On top of that, got myself an Imperial Knight! Building the model as the Freeblade Daggerfall from my character in the iOS game Freeblade which I have not touched for a very long time (75% completed the main storyline anyway)
Some screenshot of the unit from in-game which I am using as a reference to build, including modifying the thunderstrike glove to have movable fingers with rippers and also 3D modelling the thermal cannon variant which is not available out of the box currently.
Also, thanks to work, I managed to pick up an elusive copy of Stormclaw (Space Wolves vs Orks) from Alexendria Games in Johor. This box completes my collection of box set fluff guides all the way from Assault on Black Reach onwards. Added bonus were 2 faction minis which were not my intent to collect but would be an interesting addition to the list of possible Kill Teams I have now.
Yes, I got myself the rulebook since I was curious on the gameplay and the changes since the last release in 2017, somewhat right before 8th Edition was released. Managed to get a game recently with my old buddy with me using the Astartes against his Tau.
On the painting front, not much was done, as my daughter put it, "Daddy's busy with PS4". The wife decided to get one for the family and they have been enjoying their daily workout with Just Dance, while I just chill with some series from Netflix. Got the Deathwing game but have not really dived into the game itself. A little slow for my preference as compared to how Space Marines were on the PS3.
Anyhow, I am currently rushing to finished the entire Forgebane Skitarii from earlier purchase for Two Thin Coat Malaysia's competition which ends next weekend. Sadly, I only found time to prime and basecoat the Armiger Helverins. One more week to go and need to get this done.
Also, Games Workshop finally opened a total of four Warhammer stores all over Malaysia, and I have been to each and every one of them for a sort of achievement with photo proof.
