I finished painting the Ogre Bruiser BSB and Ogre Tyrant. The pics are rudimentary and will be replaced with better images when I get the motivation to pull out the tripod and all the other gear.

I mostly worked on War of the Ring stuff this weekend. I got about 100 or so Elves assembled, based, magnetized and primered as well as 18 or so infantry movement trays.
I also worked more on Nuke and Hellsmith for Pulp City. I really need to get these done soon. Nukes toxic look was not really working for my (awesome! gorgeous!) wife/critic. The darker primary green just looked bad to her. This morning, I added some Trollblood Base to the flourescent green I’m using and went over the green parts. I think it looks pretty smooth and less “chalky”. I hope it looks better to her, too.
This morning, I also washed over the Ent with Thornwood green as I’d previously basecoated him in Trollblood Highlight. It looks more like a tree now. I may do some highlighting and such on him and then I need to paint the leaves, moss, fungus and the base (with a dead Uruk-Hai).
Just some painting progress…

Over the weekend I was able to get a lot of things done:
Primered all my assembled War of the Ring minis. (24 High Elf Warriors, 24 High Elf Archers, 24 High Elf Spearmen, 24 Wood Elves, Glorfindel, Ent and a number of characters)
Made bases for my Flames of War Churchill Crocodiles since when I pinned the trailers on, the joint seemed finda flimsy.
Painted two Flames of War British M10C SP (17 pdr) tanks. Man, FoW stuff paints up super-quick!
Painted my two HQ stands for my Flames of War British army. They only need dullcoated now.
Applied a basecoat of Trollblood Highlight on my Ent. My sexy/awesome and honest critic wife commented that she wasn’t sure about the base color, but I think some washes will make it look more like a tree.
Worked some more on Nuke and Hellsmith. The toxic glow effect still needs work according to the amazing critic-wife, “It looks like a bunch of green worms on top of yellow goop”.
All in all, a lot of progress made.
Lots of progress on stuff I don’t really need progress on

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).

I finally finished lots of figures this week. Namely, from Pulp City: Six Feet Under, Mourn, Red Riding Hoodoo and Solar. This brings my “need to paint before Gen Con” list up to 50% done. Since I had the camera and lights out, I decided to take pics of some old Confrontation stuff, some WIP Space Marines and Lizardmen, and an almost-finished Apebot (just the base left!) that I started work on today.
Go check out the Gallery here.

Mourn is complete except for his base. Six Feet Under is 80% finished (minus the base). Solar is 90% finished except for he base. Red Riding Hoodoo is 90% finished including the base. I’m working on getting these done for demos at Gen Con.
I’ve got an airbrush…not sure how to use it yet

In an effort to try to get my mass army games painted (warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40K, etc.), I decided to buy an airbrush. I found a reasonably priced one at Michaels for $65. It’s the Badger Standard Set that comes with a Badger 350 airbrush, the jars, tubes, and a can of proellant. I tested it on my Chaos Space Marine Land Raider using just Catachan Green. I’m still working on figuring out the proper thinness to the paint and how to keep it from clogging. A friend recommended 1/3 water to paint or 1/6 water, 1/6 extender 4/6 paint. I still haven’t tried that since the propellant can already ran out. I plan on purchasing a compressor soon so I don’t blow a bunch of money on propellant cans. I think I might also look into getting the fine needle and fine head to do more…fine…things with the airbrush.
I’ve been published!!!

Hordes Blackclad Wayfarer - Front
The other day while in my FLGS, I picked up the newest issue of No Quarter with the intent of checkng out the stats of one of the new Minion Warlock Rorsh and Brine. In the course of flipping through the pages, I noticed they had pictures from the Gen Con 2008 Privateer Press Grand Master Painting Competition. On the bottom right corner of the Warrior models Honorable Mentions is my Blackclad Wayfarer! I just about had a fit of joy over this. I immediately bought the magazine, which I wasn’t originally planning on doing so I could show my wife and friends.
It’s the first time I’ve had the joy of seeing my name in print on a national level. It’s a pretty awesome feeling, too!! It definitely makes me want to continue to participate in painting competitions like this in the future. I think next year I’ll submit an entry for Warlock/Beast using Rorsh and Brine.
