Barty Crouch Jr and Death Eaters

Barty Crouch Jr and Death Eaters
I said I'd end up buying some more of these. I'm not even a Harry Potter fan really. I've seen the films. I thought they were pretty good. I'm not convinced they make my top 10. What I like is collecting I will collect anything. I used to have a collection of bottle caps. I also used to have a collection of miscellaneous cables until I was made to throw them out (I still ache for the loss of my miscellaneous cables). But better than the random hoarded items is when you can collect entire sets of things. Since my wife decided we were going all in on the Harry Potter pre order and I was doing the evil side. I mean now I am doing the evil side. Now I have to own every single evil model. That's just the rules now.

Severina Raine

Severina Raine
Finally got around to painting this Black Library Celebration miniature from this year. She was actually fairly straightforward to do. Red, black, silver and gold are all pretty well staple colors. I do want to say that the sculpt is really fine, really crisp. I know that Citadel Finecast has a really bad reputation, so much so that they don't use the 'finecast' brand any more. But actually the new stuff, the stuff that is designed for resin is a high quality product.

Really enjoyable to spend a lot of time painting a single model too - although this doesn't help my annual target much.

Horus Heresy March army update.

750 points of Emperor's Children
As previously advertised this month we are both expanding our forces to 750 points. I am thrilled that Helen has decided to make a post on her blog (find it in the sidebar) showing off her Salamanders in more detail. In this post I am going to talk about the stuff I have added to grow my force to 750 points.
