1st Tactical Squad almost done

Some minor progress, amongst the brewing and domestic slavery (!)

1st Squad complete except for the basing and decals. Actually, some of the decals are on, but unfortunately they arrived in the mail soaked through because of the rain. And now some are peeling off. I'll try putting some gloss varnish on as a glue then placing the decals back on top of that. Hopefully, I can get some pics up shortly.

Some more deliveries of trade items have arrived (as you can see form the status bar) and I have based and primed a Dreadnought (AoBR style with multi-melta and CCW) for some work hopefully this weekend. Also negotiated some transport for the lads - they will soon be backed up by a Rhino, a Razorback and a Predator which will take the army to a respectable 1750 points.

Success!

No, I couldnt help myself - a sampling was in order! I must admit I'm a little proud of myself with this tasty, clear brew, though another few weeks will help add some extra carbonation.

Nevertheless "Cro-Magnon Lager", the first Man Cave Brewery product, is born!

1 week down

A weekend away means no painting or modelling updates, but the brew continued to mature in my absence. One is supposed to to wait for 2 weeks, but I think a tasting tomorrow is on the cards!

Reinforcements Arrive

The cardboard drop pod was delivered by post today. Our burgeoning force gained 2 full tactical squads, a terminator squad and the Company's honoured Captain. In the meantime, 5 more marines were base coated.

The battle-brothers born of flame continue to expand...
