There was some trial and error involved, but then I found the wonderful painting tutorial by Lester Bursley, of. So, back in October, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. What to do, what to do? I really wanted to paint those miniatures. I used to play Fantasy, but my friends and I didn’t make the switch from Warhammer 7th edition to 8th edition, and instead switched to 40K. I found that kit to be so inspiring, I just had to paint them. The reason I chose the Dark Eldar was the recent release of the Dark Elf Witch Elves. The Tyranids wouldn’t be making an appearance this year, but the Kabal of the Obsidian Rose, with Prophets of Flesh and Wych Cult of the Blade Denied as backup would be waiting to invite the Ultramarines back to Commoragh for some R&R. Instead, I chose to build an entirely different army from the ground up. I considered giving him a chance at redemption, but decided it would be much more fun to declare that the Tyranids would retire undefeated, and remind him every chance I got that there was a hive fleet out there still munching on Ultramarines biomass, bragging to each other about devouring the boys in blue in their one and only meeting. The last time he was in town, I painted up a Tyranid horde for the occasion and defeated his Ultramarines in a hard-fought game, and now he wanted revenge. Earlier this year, I received word that a friend of mine would be in town for Christmas, and that he wanted to get together for a game of 40K.
