Springtime

Finally! today spring hit Denmark with temperatures in excess of 15 degrees Celsius, and  humidity dropped below 60 for the first time in weeks. This could mean only one thing: primer time!

I got a Ironclad Dreadnought from maelstrom last Saturday, i spend some time assembling it this weekend. I also glued flock to and removed mouldlines from my command squad and commander. Last night I washed everything and scrubbed it with a toothbrush so it was ready when the weather turned today.

Due to the Army Painter failure on my first tactical squad I'm now using Games Workshop Chaos Black Spray again, it hasn't failed me yet. It was a bit windy but I found a good spot to set up my paint booth (a old moving box..), the whole spraying session took about 30 minutes.

I left off some of the smaller bits to be hand primed, and I still need to go over the primer with a brush.

I've assembled all four weapons for the Ironclad Dreadnought, so I can field it in any configuration I need. The Hunter Killer missiles have been left off thou.

I got a Rhino and a devastator squad in the mail today, this will allow me to finish assembling the last tactical squad I've planned, I need to figure out which squads and models I should paint first - I've tried to make a few army lists in order to prioritize the paint order. First up will be the command squad and Ironclad and after that it will probably be a second tactical squad. That should form a solid core army I can add models to.
