First November update

Since last time I have finally gotten around to finish the last models of my Leagues of Votann intro box that was released when the Leagues came to 40K. Now I have 3 Hernkyn Pioneers on their magna-coil bikes ready to prime and paint. I look forward to this as I think they will look good on the tabletop.

I have also built the mini of the month for November from the Warhammer store, a Hernkyn Yaegir (basically the same dude as the ones on the bikes except that he is on foot). So while at the Wahammer store I ordered a box with 10 Yaegirs to add to my army.
I also bougth a Hekaton Landfortress. This is the biggest transport for the Votann and I plan to build that next.

The Fortified Manor is built and is right now waiting for better weather to be primed along with lots of other miniatures.
I have not yet decided on how I want to do the setup, as I am not a big fan of how some of the fences go together, but I plan to get more of these as I would liike to have other buildings (certainly an Inn and maybe another chapel) and some more towers, so then I will get more fences. I already have a plan for some of the walls that come in this set and an Inn I plan to build, but there will be plenty of fences to go around. I would like to use the wall with gates as pictured on the box art (but I will not glue it on, just put it in place when dispalying as it will surely break in transport if glued) and wen I get more fences with other sets I would like to use the brick fences on both sides. I will see next time I sit down how tight they fit together and decide if they sould be glued in to 90 degres fence or a square or just left as stand alone pieces and placed down for display. 
The walls from futures sets I would like to add together back to back to make a fenced in Inn.
I have done some meassurements and it looks like it could be done. 

All in all I am quite happy with the way this Manor ended up even though the instructions made me assemble the tower wrong so that the fix between the tower and the building didn't fit as snug against the tower as I would have liked. I had to us quit a lot of greenstuff in the gaps. I am not great with that, and it didn't help that my greenstuff is getting old and a little dry. But I hope it will look quite ok after I paint it up. I don't think this will be somethng people notice on a causal look, but I would not put the building on an Armies of Parade board. But it will be great for games and display.
