Bad News
As some of you may know, I have a notorious lack of focus when it comes to projects. I haven't really been posting a lot in regards to my Dalek project and for that I apologize.
The project is still ongoing, it might be relegated to "back burner" status until I sort things out, especially in regard to obtaining the models for the project. Suffice to say if I were to build a Dalek force with the miniatures I want to use, it would not be feasible with my budget. Though I am considering a few options, one of which is sculpting my own Dalek miniatures. In the meantime, I will focus on painting what I do have for future installments of Predations of the Xenos.
Good News
Since I do lose focus on projects literally all the time, I always move onto something a little more exciting every time. I have made my first little baby steps towards two other Great Crusade era projects, both of which have some sort of foundation in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
To kick things off, Squats.
I painted this fellow two weeks ago, give or take. I never had an opportune time to upload a good picture until now. He will be a force commander for my Warp Cults and Militias army further down the line. You will see more of these guys once a friend of mine brings back the Squats from extinction, if you catch my drift.
As well as Squats, I am kick starting my Great Crusade Era Ultramarines ...
I also purchased a ten man squad of Mark IV tactical marines on eBay to further bolster my Calth force, giving me nearly half a modern company to play around with. The first thing I did was blunder up a conversion with a sergeant, irreparably damaging a Mark IV helmet. I ended up shaving down a Catachan head to replace the lose. I will one day give him his helmet back. Or maybe I will end up keeping him as it is, once he gathers some battlefield honors.
That's all for this week, I'm afraid. Take care and beware the Predations of the Xenos!
