clam:
So finally, here comes the promised update - though it isn�?Tt a big one.
First �?" all the bad excuses:
“To sons and flue season:sick?” - You already used that one
“Heavy workload?” - Yes, used
“Lack of bits?” - Also used �?" and stock is now refilled
“Ahh! Holiday Season and IA3/Codex Orks?” - It�?Ts a good one, but used before and all read
“Lack of inspiration as CDO is down?” - Bad ‘bad excuse’. Use your on style, man! No Internet = More hobby time
“Flue season again?” - blah, blah
“CDO up again and heavy postings” - So you got inspired now, so get on with it!
Hey, this is a good one:
“Gathering these from eBay, and other sites?” �?" Ahh! - that�?Ts a good one
(And I really can�?Tt wait to get started on painting my recent acquisitions. Think I�?Tll have a second Blog about building this classic CD collection)
And finally:
“Lack of idea how to do my bases (thought you could help me out here �?” but no!)?" �?" So it�?Ts our fault then! :hat
Yes, so many bad excuses �?" but still only a few things accomplished. 
But I�?Tll show you what�?Ts done
CORES
The first two core units are taking form now:
The Hand Weapon/shield Warriors:
Perhaps I should have saved the Standard Bearer for GV V �?" but �?� 
- who knows - maybe I got another one up my sleeve.
And, The Blunderbuss unit 1
The new Blunderbusses are much inspired by the old 3rd ed. warriors �?" here are some close ups of the Mortar loader, Bazooka Gunner and loader (still WIPs).
SPECIALS
The Death Rocket and crew are ready for painting. The Slave still needs a bit of work though!
RARES
Nothing new here
ELITES
I want an elite Warrior Unit �?" a Sorcerer bodyguard with great looking weapons, so I have made a prototype of my elite guards devoted to Hashut and armed with a Mechanical Halberd device:
All credit for the Halberd (Great Weapon) must go to my absent friend “Snotling” �?" it’s totally stolen from his army �?" with his permission of course.
LORD and HEROES
I have re-sculpted the Despot to fit in with the overall look better.
Here he is:
And I have been playing with another 40K CSM-fig - again a borrowed idea 
�?" this time all credit must go to Border Reiver and his Converted CD Sorcerer
That’s it!
Cheers Clam
