My Other Love

   As much as I love Warhammer 40k I really can't say it's my favorite. Now don't get me wrong I love this hobby, i spend around 2 hours a day with stuff this hobby, but there has always been one other hobby I have. I say hobby, but what i really mean to say is Love. For as long as i can remember Anime, Manga, and bassically all thing Japan have always been i have really loved. I remember cheering for Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin to beat Shishio or actually wanting to wake up early in the mourning to watch Yu-Gi-Oh every Saturday. I'll even admit that I was and still am a fan of Sailor Moon. To put it simply I am a OTAKU to the core. With that said my love for all thing Japan (Well not all thing I Absolutely hate Sudoku) doesn't take over my hobby interest. If I were to put it into percentage. All things Japan would get 75% while 40k would get 25%. As low as 40k got it doesn't mean i putt less effort in it. Anime and Manga is my anytime hobby. There is never been a time where anime or manga wasn't uninteresting. I if your like me i take the best of both these worlds and multitask. During my sessions of painting there will always be an anime playing or some J-Pop/Rock playing in the back ground. And for those time where i have to wait for my paint to dry (WASHES!!) I simply pop one of my Manga out and read it for awhile. To conclude I was able to love to hobbies that are perfectly compatible with one. On a side note it was anime and manga that got me to love the Tau, how can you be an Otaku and not like Gundam.

The Fist of the Emperor

            Currently I have around 1000 points worth of Crimson Fist Space Marines and plan to continue this army for awhile or till the new Tau Codex come out. This army is possibly going to be my most difficult army in my 40k career. For about a month I keep going back and forth between how to paint them and it wasnt until i had about 1000 points of models that I was finally able to get a color scheme i found very appealing. It actually quite simple; simple enough for someone like me with an almost non-existent painting skill can use.

For the Blue

1. Prime my models black.

2. An heavy overbrush of Moridian Blue.

3.An heavy but not as heavy as the previous overbrush of Enchanted Blue.

4.Lastly and medium Drybrush of Ultramarines Blue.

5. I'm currently only using the wash Asurmen Blue to only get the crevices and not all over the model.





For the Reds

1. Mechrite Red

2. And was of Badab Black then done.

Yes, I kept the paint scheme as simple as possible

For the Metal - Boltgun Metal then a wash of Badab Black

As you can read it is a paint scheme that i think gets my Miniature to Table Top quality.

Would like some advice so feel free to comment for any suggestion and please no trolling.

First Post?

So here I am now writing my first post for my blog and all i can say is that this blog will be about 99% Warhammer 40k and about 1% Random stuff. You will see everything from the creation of my futures armies to come and my progress form 40k noob to Strategic General of the Table Top Battlefield.
