Just recently came across these pictures and I thought I would share them with yourselves, all of them were taken a few years ago at a tournament I attended at Q con in 2009.
So here it is in all its glory and there's nothing more satisfying when playing in tournaments when you start to deploy your army and see the hard work that you've put in pays off. It all seems so worthwhile from start to finish, and hopefully motivates others to do the same.
So below is the list that I took and over all it was quite effective on the tabletop and finishing 9th which overall wasn't too bad a result, I made loads of mistakes when playing but that's just the way it goes.

Overall the project took about three and a half months to complete from start to finish no easy task, mainly painting in my spare time in the evening after work
I think from the start of the project, colour was very important as it's very easy to distinguish between all the different units something that can become very difficult in tournament play.
Overall I'm very pleased the way it has turned out it has lots of colour and conversions which really do make the difference.
So next is the big boys themselves, and I've always thought that there would be a lot of rivalry between the two of them trying to get the attention of the war boss
No Dred Bash would be complete with out 2 Dred eagerly marching to war.
In most recent years you do not get to see dread bash as kan wall seems to be more widely used
I was really pleased the way the yellow came out as it can be a tricky colour to do properly the way I do mine started off with a dark brown colour and then mix yellow gradually.
The display board hopefully I'll cover in another post sometime in the future as it was done a few years prior, but as you can see it's definitely home for the boys.
So hopefully you have been inspired.
Fantastic looking army, and the fort looks great too! You can tell that a lot of love went into these guys!
