Tonights Stormwarden Progress...

So tonight I haven't achieved a whole lot. Well visually anyhow. I did manage to get both bases painted (I must say they are beautiful bases that were donated by Secret Weapon Miniatures) and some green stuff/conversion work on the 2nd model I am working on. I have a grand vision for this guy, but since time is an issue... I may have to drop it down a level or two in design. So some pictures are better than no pictures at all, and progress is after all progress! Please donate to this worthy cause everyone. We are putting a lot of time and effort in to this project. And there is a ton of awesome prize support being given out! And who knows, you could win this super sexy army that will be 1 of a kind!

Storm Warden Chaplain WIP

So here is a quick little update to let you all know where I am on my half of the project.

What have I gotten myself in to?

Oh I know, a good cause! I saw on my friend Dave Taylor's blog page that he was taking part in a huge project for Dr's Without Borders and working on an army to raffle off. I dropped him a line on his blog asking if he needed any help. And so here I am working on both a Chaplain and Librarian for the project. Pretty cool. That's my first priority project now that I have failed to qualify for the US Nationals for Flames of War... by about 3 or 4 points. BAH! As my friend Ron put it, I now have over 380 days to prepare for next year... yeah that is encouraging!

As far as other projects, an old friend (Brad Morin) that is on the other side of the world asked if I would be interested in painting a marine for another project where everyone submit's one marine from various chapters. I drew the Silver Skulls so keep a look out for that one as well. As I will not be doing the standard shiny pretty metal scheme they are in the books.

And today I started working on some Hordes stuff for a good friend. So those will be WIP as well. So stay tuned... all 2 of you who read this. Who knows, maybe I will start getting a few more after the Stormwarden's project...

So whats new?

Well I have been busy working on the gaming table at home. And finally finishing the Warmachine project. Aside from that I have been trying to zero in on a 3rd Fallschirmjager list I like from Hell's Highway that I will run at the Icehouse Warriors Late War Tournament June 12th. I have narrowed it down even more thankfully. But in the process I decided to do a test paint on both a Fallschirmjager and a 2nd SS Panzergrenadier. Here was the end results. I personally wasnt happy with either camo attempt but practice makes perfect. And soon I will have a lot of practice!

Ahh what to do, what to do...

So I am very nearly finished with the Warmachine Project. 2/3 Models have been delivered and the individual is very happy. Which makes me happy. HistoriCON is in July and the Flames of War Nationals as well. Well this seasons tournament circuit has been meh for me. But I have only competed 2 times and both times I finished about mid way. But Nationals would be interesting. I would probably be better off just trying to compete in the painting there. But there are chances I could play in the tournament. With that said... what should I focus on? The new army lists from Dog's and Devil's which many people haven't seen let alone been able to face? Or should I work on the Fallschirmjager for the tournament. And if I chose the DnD lists... should I roll German or Allied? Any input would be great from the 2 people that occasional read this lol.

Warmachine Project almost complete!

So here I am. I told you all I was not dead! Just busy with the recent move. And with a newfound promotion at work. Getting settled into the new place and getting ready for painting again. New place = new layout of workstation. I also built a 4x6 sectional gaming table for home.

Anyhow enough of all of that! Here is the completed Sorcha, and 1 Semi-Complete Warjack. The other one has basecoats but will require all the layers and highlights as well. This one here needs its runes completed and some hoses and various plates to be completed. But at least here is a little eye candy.

I'm not dead... honest!

I know I haven't been around or posted anything in a while. And there is a good reason for that...

I moved! We moved into a larger place and now I actually have a room that I can work my voodoo in! Tonight was the first night in weeks that I was able to pick up a brush for painting something other than a wall. I'm back on the warpath and will be bringing some warjacks to you soon. I may do a Blood Angel step by step painting guide. It would be better than my really old Imperial Fist one. But it's hard to paint models for a game system I do not love (40k) when I really want to play more Flames of War and LaSalle! I do need to dust off the brits and get some more units done. Like my Hussars or Light Dragoons. Even a general would be nice. Lets see what the future holds...
