I am very excited to get my butt handed to me by a bunch of people I’ve never met before. See you there!

Miniature Monday: Reform Candidate

Nuala the Huntress, Unit Attachment for the Tharn Bloodtrackers, is an expert in pointy objects and their application in conflict resolution. This is an admirably well-sculpted model: when she was first introduced, some people were complaining that she is almost Warcaster-detailed. Still, as a character model, I feel it is entirely appropriate. I’ve not seen ...

Lock and Load and Lists and Limits

I’ll be heading out to Lock and Load in a few weeks, and I’m trying to limit the models I bring along, since I can of course only carry one bag full of suspicious little bits of metal onto the plane. I’m focusing on eKrueger and Baldur lists, ...

So Angry It Hurts!!

Late last year I picked up the Reeve Hunter and his three pet War Wolf missiles. Today I finally finished painting them. I take forever to paint a model these days — even more so than in the past — due to a busy career and a number of impromptu lunchtime meetings cutting into my ...

Nearly a year ago, I started to become interested in Warmachine (I didn’t even know Hordes existed, then). I had heard the D6 Generation podcast review of Warmachine Mk II, and it jogged past memories of the “new miniatures game” I had heard about years before, something people swore would actually survive trying to shove ...

Lord of the Storm, Lord of the Dance

Epic Krueger has been painted just in time for this weekend’s foodmachine tournament; I ended up rushing the cloak because I wanted him finished, so some of my highlighting is not as good as I would have liked. I have done all but add the basing materials (I painted the front arc after I took ...

Krueger the Stormlord Theme Force

Bell of Lost Souls has spoiled the Theme List for Krueger the Stormlord, otherwise known as eKruger, otherwise known as Señor Kinda-Like-Rahn-But-More-Crazy. I think we could ...
