Team Game of 40k - first in well over a year...
Posted May 11, 2012
Last night I joined my buddy Robin and a couple of new players I hadn't met before for an after work game of 40k. The breakdown was:
Team 1:
Me: Necrons
Robin: Dark Eldar
Team 2:
Dave: Chaos
Pat: Blood Angels
Nice mix of forces which made for an interesting and very fun game. We ended up playing Annihiatio…
New Necron Wraiths Painted
Posted May 6, 2012
Back on the 40K side of things for a bit - I have a budding Necron force coming together, and bolstered their ranks considerably with some of the new models released this weekend. I managed to assemble and paint up 6 of the new Wraith models and added a Trayzen model (he will act as a Cryptek in my …
First Warhammer Tournament - Success!
Posted April 28, 2012
As I've been talking about in some of my recent blog posts, I recently decided to attend my first Warhammer tournament (and really, my first serious/large wargaming tournament...period!). The tournament in question is called Onslaught - it takes place in Edmonton twice a year (at the moment) usuall…
Empire - Averland Steam Tank
Posted April 22, 2012
Alas! Today is the final day of my month off from work - which means my painting output will slow back down again :) It's a shame because I've been on a roll lately in terms of raw output. I'm still enjoying painting up pieces for an Empire force. The latest addition is a steam tank, once again do…
Edmonton Onslaught - Ticket Purchased
Posted April 21, 2012
Wow - looks like I'm really going to Onslaught. I bought my ticket, submitted my list and am reviewing rules and FAQs and all that jazz. Should be interesting - I will likely get completely crushed but it will be cool to play against some new people and frankly just great to play some WFB again :)
My Display Board / Tray Solution
Posted April 19, 2012
Hey guys,
So after spending some time at Ikea and Lowe's this morning, and a little creative effort, here's what I ended up with:
The materials were:
Ikea "Ribba" frame - 15 bucks
Two drawer pulls from Lowe's - about 5 bucks each
One sheet of "Joist Lining" - Looks like a big flat sheet o…
Musing on Army Display Boards and Trays
Posted April 18, 2012
I totally thought that Warp Lightning Cannon post would break the silence on comments - I really like how it turned out. That's about as close to my ideal vision of what warpstone should look like as I can get :) I shall continue to have blog envy in terms of the authors out there that pull in upw…
Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon
Posted April 16, 2012
It has been quite some time since I've painted anything for my Skaven army (currently hibernating in a Battlefoam bag beside me). In preparation for possibly having the balls to attend the Onslaught tournament, I decided to paint this piece up to add to my force. I must admit I'm very pleased with t…
Out of the Blue - Grey Knights Terminators
Posted April 15, 2012
I reckon this blog at least keeps people guessing - you never quite know what I will post next. I think the next item on my desk will also come as a surprise.
These terminators and Draigo were in my "WIP" cupboard for months, literally. Tonight I decided to finish them off. They aren't perfect by a…
More For Sale
Posted April 15, 2012
Hi everyone, I added a new For Sale page where I will be adding models to sell that I have as surplus (ie I have way more stuff than I can paint). Generally this will be at a substantial discount. If you have any questions, use the Contact link above. Note that the painted items that were for sale …
Demigryph Knights Completed!
Posted April 12, 2012
I spent a fair bit of time on these and hopefully it shows :) This is a really nice kit, the models look awesome and are easy to put together. I found the sculpts so nice I kept going back to do a tweak here or a fix there, which is rare for me these days (usually I'm all about getting the model don…
Empire State Troops WIP
Posted April 9, 2012
Hey everyone - as mentioned, I'm dabbling painting some Empire. Now, I don't often show WIP shots on the site, but wanted to get some feedback on a few things (other than: paint Circle instead ;)). My camera setup is driving me nuts lately - not sure what is "off" with it, but for example the glare …
Snow Bases and Getting the Empire Urge
Posted April 8, 2012
Hey guys! I know you've seen this trio of Thunderwolves before, but that was before they were properly based. I've added highland tufts and snow - what do you think of the snow effect here, does it seem convincing? In a way it almost looks too dry to me somehow. I'm tempted to add a little gloss va…
Super Dungeon Explore - Barbarian
Posted April 7, 2012
Don't you hate it when your miniature photos don't do your work justice? I feel that way about this little lady - she looks really awesome from "boardgaming distance" but the photo comes off a little blah. Anyway, yet another hero painted. I think next will be the Rogue and the Ranger. The druid and…
Super Dungeon Explore - Painting Continues
Posted April 5, 2012
It's weird - sometimes I let a project sit for months at a time, then can go back and attack it with (relative) gusto. There has been a pile of half painted, primed Super Dungeon Explore models sitting right beside me while I've painted all kinds of Warhammer and Hordes models. I swear they literall…
Something Completely Different - Gears of War
Posted April 3, 2012
Hi everyone - I guess "hobby ADD" is in full effect. Right now a buddy of mine (Robin) is going through a pretty intense boardgaming phase. I think most of the stuff he's been playing so far does not involve much in the way of miniatures (for example, Dominion). That said, his enthusiasm is contagi…
For Sale Items Added
Posted April 1, 2012
Hey everyone, I've accumulated a fairly large quantity of finished/wip/new-on-sprue models that I will be starting to sell occasionally. You will be able to find the For Sale items on this page (right side nav) and on the Galleries page as well (same setup). The For Sale gallery uses lightbox to dis…
Space Wolves Thunderwolf Cavalry Painted
Posted March 27, 2012
Finished up a quick and dirty unit of TWC yesterday. They are obviously "gaming quality" and there is a bit more work to do on them. You'll note the very plain bases - I'm actually waiting for the new Citadel snow stuff (part of the new paint range) to use on these (we'll see how the quality is). At…
Darn you, GW!!
Posted February 25, 2012
Man. I cannot break my "oooh new shiny!" habits. I've been really getting into the Privateer groove over the last couple of weeks, including buying WAY too much stuff and doing some actual painting for a change. I figured I wouldn't be buying much GW stuff for a while because there didn't seem to be…
