Im sorry I missed the blogs anniversary but its been a whole year since I began blogging. I have taken long breaks but Ive always come back. I wish I knew if anyone reads this which I highly doubt because blogspot has billions of blogs and a not many readers for them. But I wanted to thank all of you for watching my videos and helping me along this journey.
For my version of viewer appreciation I ask you this, what models would you like me to paint in the coming months? Any tutorials? I have had one request for Demons of Chaos Blood Letters. I appreciate your support and tips and tricks. Im not a pro but aspire to be one soon. You have all helped me and there arent words for the way I feel twards you all! So what do u wanna see fron the IPJ this year?

A Year On The Run
The Guns Reach
Walls of fire roll forth, crushing many uder iys reddish gaze. Some try to escape, others stand in awe at their coming doom. Quickly it is upon them, burnin, cutting, smashing, both flesh and bone. The firing line marches forward, one step at a time, readying their firey wall again.

Stratedgy or not...
So it has recently come to my attention that Warhammer game play is un-realistic in the extreme. Now yes I know that it really is suppose to be un-realistic, but I mean in the way war is waged. You cannot truelly apply stratedgy that is real. You just work to your strengths and to the enemys weaknesses. But in real war an outnumbered defender( given certain advantages, which I will talk about later) can win an engagement against a far superior force. But in 40k if you only take 1000pts against someone with 2000pts you WILL lose. No matter what. You physically do not have enough to counter the other person. But you'd think ,"ok. Ill just out flank him or bottle neck him." But in this game, there are rules against that.
The rules set out for us are based aroumd the fact that you assume this has already happened or is being done. While bottle necking and flanking are possible, other things are not. Such as, Sneeking behind the enemy, out running the enemy, or diversionary tactics. The enemy knows your army and what you will do. And building a legit army isnt possible either.
In war if you'd like to be real but I'll relate it to warhammer, you would take alot of troops and heavy support. Or you would take what the situation calls for. Because in war you carefully plan out engagements and defences and provide on the spot intel to your men. Thoughts?

Land speeder
There ya go. Took a bit but im almost there. Im actually about to go put the decals on. Tommorow ill do the driver.
Landspeeder Progress.
So out of desperation and poverty I primed my landspeeder white. Then I began painting 2:1 ultramarines blue and water. So after 45minutes of re-doing coat after coat, Im finally ready to begin the meattallic bits. My plan is to go in and wash its badab black then ultramarines blue leaving the washed areas in the recesses. Then moving on to maettalics I highlight thise all again. Btw the under side Im just gonna keep washed black. After the first round of highlighting, I will go and drybrush Ice blue on all edges. Then mithril silver edge high lights on the mettalics. Follwed by a devlan mud wash on all bottom panels.
Battle Damage
I will now put on the transfers. A second company and ultramarines one. From there I will go back in with a 2:1 Adeptus Battle Grey to Chaos Black painting jagged areas here and there. Afterwards using 2:1 of adeptus battle grey to Codex gray I will paint inside all of these areas leaving a thin line of the previous layer. I will continue adding more codex grey until i am at a just codex grey mix, then move on to Fortress Grey. Finally I will paint Mithril silver in all of the fortress areas.
Any tips or trick? Leave a comment below!
