Great Sadness...

Price increase on the way... Take a look here

I am most surprised about the new fantasy hardbacks since they are so new. I thought they would already be priced at the new rate.

:(

P.P. games are looking better and better... (if only the models were better- Jacks not withstanding)

Check Out the new Logo!

Let me know what you think...

The Gray Knight Project 1

Hello All,

I have started work on a Gray Knight Army. I know this may seem like band Wagon jumping but I have my reasons. And they go all the way back to a time long ago when a small squad of Grey Knight Terminators obliterated my entire squad of squats (yes THAT long ago) in my first game ever. I only had the one squad and that had the effect of me going to Fantasy instead. at least for a few years.

I have always had a sense that the GK were totally bad *Censored* and that I would Never collect them because of that traumatic experience so long ago. But times change and so do opinions. These days I think they just look too cool to pass up. So here I am starting a collection of the army that almost made me drop 40K before I ever gave it a chance.

That being said I have decided to take a different approach to building this army. I have decided to Buy, Build, and paint the army one unit at a time. I know this fly's in the face of conventional thinking (in this hobby) but I am looking at it as a test of personal discipline. Can I resist buying a regiment box or several units at one time? I think I can (despite the suggestive selling I get at my FLGS.) Some will never understand and that is OK. I don't expect anyone to.
The final result will be an Army that , when the last miniature is purchased and painted, will complete the army (as apposed to having a bunch of kits in a closet that may never see the light of day but are considered a part of the army anyway.

I have decided to start with the Dread Knight. Here are the pics of what has been done so far...

Recent projects and stuff

Hello all.

The last few weeks have been low on the hobby side and high on the mundane side.
The Missus passed an"in demand" certification last week and most the the previous 2 weeks were spent assisting her studies.

My work schedule has been busy and left me too tired to go out and game on most weeknights. The weekends are spent with the wife; lateley trying to convince her to game more. (More on that later)

----------------------------------------

Recent works.

I have not been totally lax in my hobby work. Far from it. Most of the time spent helping the wife study were also spent building metal models that I have been putting off (mostly because they are a pain to build.)

Here is a sampling of what I got done...

Ghazghkull Thraka

Flash Git

Skulltaker

On the painting side the output has been slow. I managed to get 10 Grots painted. These guys are from my original 2nd ed boxed set. they are not the best models but I think they paint up pretty good. The Grot handler was painted a few years ago back when he was a warboss!


I also made some progress on my modified (IE Kitbashed) named characters for my Blood Dragons.

In a previous post I showed you my Cato Sicarius conversion. these next two will represent The Shadow Dragon (aka Captain Shrike) and the Iron Dragon (Pedro Kantor)





Iron Dragon (Pedro Kantor)



NOVA OPEN- This just in...

The Wife will not only allow me to do the nova open this year but she intends to participate in the Fantasy GT herself (She will be unmasking a new Army to use at the tournament)

All of this is dependent on the the Fantasy stuff coming together... I have had a bear of a time trying to get more information about this one. we are only a few months out and no word on Fantasy yet... This is getting worrisome.

Well that's it for now.

As always

Enjoy

Skavenblight Gazette_ Check out pages 16 & 17

Hello All,

The latest issue of Skavenblight Gazette is out now!
Issue 11.

It was while looking at these guys (Back around issue 3) that I discovered Podhammer the first Warhammer podcast I ever listened to. From there it expanded to 40K Radio, Worlds end Radio, Eternal Warriors (as DLT), The 11 th Company and through them the Gamers lounge. As well as a host of others over the last few years.

So without finding the Skavenblight Gazette my podcast experience might have been vastly different...

So anyway back to the focus of this post.

Check Out Pages 16 and 17 before you look at any other part of this top notch publication.

You will see some fantastic creations for various Skaven Armies one or two may surprise you.

Thank you "Ratling the Mad"

Enjoy

The Order of the Dragon's Blood?

Hello,

I am looking for a new name for my Space Marine Chapter. Formerly it was called the Emperor's Dragons but I have already found 2 other people who also have chapters called the same. Both have done theirs in Black as the base color where I went with red. I have decided to give my Chapter a new name. I am currently working with The Order of the Dragon's Blood or simply Blood Dragons. Please comment on what you think about the new name. If you have any legitimate suggestions please put them in comments as well. :) (I was also thinking about "Fire Dragons" but I think that may already be in use)

HOBBY UPDATE

I have been working on finishing up the Tac squads for the BD.

Here are the 1st and 4th squads.

1st squad

4th squad

KATO SIKARIUS

I have decided to try Cato Sicarius in my army. I bought the model and after a close examination I discovered that he is covered in Ultra Marine symbols. This was not going to work. Something had to be done. so out came the hobby tools and after a lot of work most of the Omegas were gone.



Cato's Backpack was right out! It is covered in symbols. I went with a Space wolf backpack (The one with the wolf head tied to the back.) I added some horns to it making it look more like a Dragon's skull. I think it came out pretty good.



I went for my standard Red Paint scheme instead of the Gold armor I normally use for leader types. The cloak is done more like my my space wolves rather than my normal dragon colors. it makes a nice contrast.




The Gold was done with Tin Bitz, Shining Gold with Dwarf Bronze highlights.
Leather was done with Dark Flesh, Verman Brown and Snakebite leather.
Red is too dificult to describe here. ;)


Here is the finished model.




Army List Idea.

I call it Assault/Suppression
