Dystopian Wars tournament ahead

Well I started out this blog strong and then I have been a bit lax in the past two weeks getting the next post up. The main reason is that I have been madly painting models for a tournament I am attending this coming weekend.
Every year, well for the past three years including this one, the local gaming group has run a Dystopian Wars tournament over two days around Easter.
I have a habit of taking a different fleet to every tournament I attend for Dystopian Wars so this year I decided to take a Black Wolf mercenary fleet, known for their brutal short range firepower it should be fun to play as I have mostly in the past run longer range fleets.
Overall I am quite happy with how they have turned out, they could probably do with another spot colour somewhere on the model however at this point I have had enough of painting them so they can stay the way they are for the weekend.
The fleet assembled ready to face all opponents.

The Empire of the Blazing Sun have nicely decided to lend one of their Kaiju Heavy Battleships to the mercenaries

Well the tournament kicks off at 9am on Saturday morning, we shall see how the mercenaries fare against the fleets of my opponents.

Whats on the painting table

As people who know me will be well aware my painting can be a little bit erratic at times, well actually it borders on non-existent a lot of the time. Between work, family and trying to get some actual gaming time in there is not often a lot of time left over to sit down at the painting table.
Further to this I also do the occasional commission work for some of the guys at the local club which in turn pushed all my personal painting down the list.
But enough of complaining about how much time I don't have and onto what is actually on my painting table this very moment. Well the majority of it is some commission work I am doing, a US Arianda force and some Nomad models for Infinity.
The US Ariadnans currently are all the Grunts my friend has based and ready to paint, all nine of them.

 The Nomad faction is a slow project, just a few miniatures a month, however the guy I am painting them for has had a bit of a dilemma with the scheme he would like. This has lead to three test models being painted, hopefully this last one is staying.
The test Nomad Alguacile (I hope this is the last paint scheme)

The rest of the Alguaciles patiently waiting to be started on

Also sitting waiting patiently to be finished are the last few models that I was painting up for my Morat Aggression force that I used in an Infinity Slow Grow we held at the club late last year.
