Typhon!

Typhon! He’s a three headed dragonspawn, and he’s a crazy model.  I had loads of fun painting the model, and I’m looking forward to painting him for my own army some day.  (He’s currently unassembled in a box.)  This post … Continue reading →

Project Rolling – Update #2

I have been painting, and painting and painting.  In some ways I have used painting to fill the time I used to spend at a job.

I get up, coffee, job search stuff, breakfast, more job search stuff…  It has gotten to be a routine.  Very little with anyone except my wife.  When ever that is ...

New Years promise

I have to apologize for not posting for a while…

Honestly, be out of work is rough.  It is hard to be cheerful and to write something interesting when I spend so much time chasing leads.

TempleCon preparation takes some time.  Terrain work and such.  I have been chasing down scenario tables.  Most of the ones we ...

Project Sisters – Update 1 – What to add

Now that the Casters are done, I need something for a battlegroup.  There are a lot of options, but one plastic Jack kit gives me three options.  I pulled a metal Reaper out as a second choice.

For the plastic kit, I read a couple of guides on magnetizing, borrowed some drills and jumped into ...

I have not finished BigK or Rolling, but I am starting another project.  Can you say F.A.D.D. (Faction Attention you know the rest) boys and girls.

I have been using a box of unpainted Cryx for a footrest under my desk for a long time. Why haven’t I painted them you ask?  Well, a lot of ...

Project Rolling – Update 2 – Twenty Six Pieces

When I think of Xerxis,  I think about the Cataphracts.  Don’t you?  I have a full unit of Cetrati and Arcuarii.  I think two small unit of Arcuarii will be useful sometimes.  The Cetrati also have a Unit attachment.  Tyrant Vorkesh is a little different and I really look forward to painting him.

These three ...

I think I’m in love

I have always done my own bases.  The new Clash of the Titans project (as seen on Lost Hemisphere), Sister, perplexed me.  I wanted a different base for the army.  I played with several idea and none of them work out.

I kept looking at Dragon Forge bases and took the plunge.

I got enough to do ...

Project Rolling – 1st Update

I actually started working on the Years ago when I first painted Xerxis.  When the theme list came out, The First of Halaack was at the top of my list.  I have painted some Cataphracts and some titans, but it is time to do the who thing…  What do I get for the theme.  Advance ...

BigK update 32 – Der Boom Boom

Sorry this is so late, stuff happens..

In the last month, I have been laid off from my job.  No surprise, the company was cutting 20%.  I wish I wasn’t out of work, but I have done a job search before. Patients, persistence and a positive attitude will get me past this and working again.

For Clash of ...

The last week

I have done zero painting.

GenCon happened.

I took some photos for Lost Hemisphere, spent most of my time doing Privateer Press Organized Play stuff.  It was really nice to have a front row seat (standing actually) for the Hardcore finals.  Great game between Chuck and Jason.  Rasheth vs Xerxis, who would have thunk it…

Sleeping on the ...
