Figure Feature: Alternate Alten

There are few Privateer Press sculpts that I feel a desire to sub an alternate model for.  That being said, I'm just not in love with the Alten Ashley model(although the stogie is cool).  It's not that it's not a nice figure...I just think they have a better "Monster Hunter" in the PP stable...Seth Alkot ...

Ropecon 2011

The biggest roleplaying, larping and miniatures convention is now over. For me it meant two days of Warmachine/Hordes and avoiding larpers/cosplayers as much as possible. On Friday evening we had a 25-point Highlander v2 feat. No Characters -tournament. My list was pVlad, Devastator, Spriggan, Widowmakers, Marksman, Wardoggy and Greylord Ternion. My plan was to shoot ...

Failed!

Well as I thought I didn’t make it to the tourney. And from what I’ve heard only four people showed up, so the thing was called off.

Good news is I will be showing off some finished Khador models during this week as I wrap them up.

Oh, and right after that I have a feeling some ...

Angry Elves too angry?

Or at least angry at cats? So I assemble everything currently at my house (ordering a mispack part set for Rahn because he was missing some stuff) and start priming.  I said last week that I love doing a jack for my scheme as they are my centerpieces and I really feel that way.  As I ...

Paint The Target: Jul Results, Aug Challenge

You know, I must confess I was expecting to have a reduction in submissions this month, given that everyone had to paint not one model, but an entire bloody unit. More fool me – the Losties delivered! I’m not even going to go into how long it took me to resize all the images to ...
