Fight Club: Knights of Mars: Clearly I Have Made Mistakes

First month of Fight Club is over!

I have really learned a lot about Sevvy, but Mangled Metal is pretty much Mangled Metal. I have also found that ENemo now just pops the clutch and tells Severius to eat his dust!

I have learned that small children do not understand “they are fragile. Please, don’t. ...

Fight Club: Knights of Mars: Inglorius

Bastions?  More like Basterds AM I RITE?!

While way cool in games, these guys were a chore to paint.  I can’t exactly say why, but they’re done, and I breathe a sigh of relief.

Close up on Leader model:

I also finished up Rhoven and his buddies:

4 models to go.  MAD BONUS MAGNUS PIC

Listen to the Voices: a Primer for sportsmanship

You need to understand: This hobby is ridiculous. Look in the mirror and stare what what you are: a quasi-Soviet Kommander? An undead Lich surviving centuries serving a dragon? A noble Knight Commander? A Druid, Shaman, or Tyrant?

This is a game where steam-powered, magical robots dot the landscape in sooty and ...

I will keep this short and sweet

That’s a lie. Check this out:

Cryx has a battle standard. Finally. I’m not going to lie to you, the rest of this is just going to express my joy for this.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES ...

I have a minor bone to pick with Mk II

Okay, this is going to contain spoilers about the Prime MkII fluff.  To fill preview space so non of you are ruined before hand, enjoy this excerpt from Roger Ebert’s review of Jurassic Park:

“But consider what could have been. There is a scene very early in the film where Neill and Dern, who have studied ...

Exhibition Matches begin tomorrow for Fight Club

Tomorrow, Prime Mk II is unleashed among the general populous of St. Louis.  From then until two weeks from tomorrow, when the card decks are scheduled to drop, Fight Club members are going to be out, starting some games and showing folks where their hard work has gone.

I do mean “hard work,” as 100 points ...

Fight Club: More work

So, I’ve been slacking.  Holidays mean suffering through family, a host of new videogames, and very little time at the painting table.

Nevertheless, I’ve managed to get some models done!

Bastions look nice, but I fear they’re going to slow me down.

The Covenant is now done.  Some may remember the preview image.  It ...

Fight Club: Knights of Mars: Optimism/Pessimism

I am right now a teensy bit over the 50 point mark, and I’m going full steam ahead!  Ironically, my biggest motivator to finish is so I can have an excuse to paint up either some Malifaux or treat myself to a Juggernaut Extreme as a gift to paint up for my desk at work.

The story so far…

Well, we’re down to about two months here until the Fight Club begins, and I thought I’d nab a group shot of what’s done. At this point, the Vanquisher is stripped, ready to get primer and paint, and I’ve got a handful of Zealots to go until 50 points is done. I hope ...

Fight Club: Knights of Mars: F’ing Metal

I got yet another model done tonight, the awesome and totally metal Reclaimer:

I don’t know about others, but gas masks, cool metal crosses, and fire is fucking metal.  I love these guys, and I love what they do in Mk II.  I cannot wait for January to rock out.

To go:

25 points:

Reckoner, Vanquisher

50 points:

Full Zealots, Monolith ...
