Updated the Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy Battles galleries with the following:
Enjoy!
Well, I admit I have been neglecting this blog for a little while now, so I figured I’d post some of what’s been going on in the last month or so.
I got more stuff painted. The Ogres are more for the Warseer “Tale of Fantasy Players” painting-motivation thread. We try to get 200 points painted per month. This month’s total is 222, which puts me pretty well ahead of the game. It’s Ogres, so it’s pretty easy to keep up. On the Tyranid front, I have about 350 points fully painted now. These have been easier than I thought they’d be. I went with a speed-painting technique that’s pretty easy to replicate no matter the size of the model.
Here’s a pic of some Spinegaunts I finished the other day. I decided to go with a less “colorful” scheme to try and emulate insects on Earth. It didn’t really turn out how I envisioned, they actually turned out better!! when they are all grouped together, they look really cool, IMHO. I have 5 Termagants that are started as well. I anticipate them being finished by Thursday morning.
I’ve also been working on finishing some Ogre Ironguts as well. I hope for them to be done by next week.
Fred and I met up Tuesday for some Star Wars Minis action. Fred had gotten a couple of new minis he wanted to try out. He chose to play a Republic squad, so I dug out my Separatists. (more…)
Fred and I met up at Games To Die For last night to play some Star Wars Miniatures. After picking up the Ogre Kingdoms book (since I forgot to get it on Monday) and waiting until 6:30 in case Joe showed up, we finally got started. First game was my Bounty Hunters vs. his New Republic. (more…)
After the downfall of the 4th edition D&D game, Fred and I have been getting together again for Star Wars Miniatures on Tuesdays. I don’t remember much about our games last week other than me losing pretty terribly while using Emperor Palpatine on Throne (and talking in his voice saying silly things). It seemed like I had trouble rolling over a 9 on a 20-sided die in most situations.
This week, however, it seemed like roles were reversed and Fred had trouble with his dice. We ended up playing two games. (more…)
It seems our DM for the Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition game I was playing in will no longer be running the game on Tuesdays and I suspect probably not running it at all anymore (or at least probably not on a day that I can play). That sucks. I have been thinking about running my own game on one Sunday a month or something to replace it.
My awesome wife ordered the Player’s Handbook 2 for me for Father’s Day, so I’ll be getting that soon.
Tuesdays will be going back to Star Wars Miniatures again, which is pretty cool as I need to play with Chairpatine (Emperor on Throne).
So, I had a lot of time this weekend and yesterday to get some stuff assembled or painted. Well, I decided to work on Warhammer 40K stauff instead of the Pulp City stuff I should have been working on. I got a 10-man Assault Squad, a 10-man Tactical Squad, a few Heavy/Special weapon models, Shrike, a Rhino and a Drop Pod assembled and primed. Unfortunately, on some of the marines I have the fuzzy primer thing going on. I will try getting a brush or something to try and clean it up, but it is very upsetting to put that much work into assembling figures to have that happen. I wonder if the trick for cloudy clear coat will work for primer (re-coating usually fixes it for me).
