*Insert clever blog post name here*

Lets try and make these abit more frequent.. i intended to write blog posts quite often but has since realised that i dont actually do enough model work to write them often enough so lets write some that dont contain pictures of my models but just words instead because words deserve love too damnit!!!

On Sunday i went to a Malifaux tournament at the Heroes and Legends store wich was a ton of fun.. had three excellent games and ended up with a second place =D Awesome!!
I do wish i had been abit more speedy in my execution of the third game and abit more knowledgable about the special rules on my models as that might just have given me that critical extra Victory Point that would have secured me a first place but i still had fun so thats what really matters in the end..
Ill give you my list just incase any of you play Malifaux or are otherwise interested in knowing what i brought with me..

Yan Lo
The Soul Porter
Chiaki The Niece
Izamu The Armor
3 x Ashigaru

It was a pretty decent list as it turns out.. the Ashigaru are tough as fuck.. way more then i thought they would be and Izamu shined that one round where i cheated in the Red Joker for his damage flip and tossed 10 damage on a Snowstorm ^^
I had absolutely ZERO use for Chiaki wich was entirely my fault as i do acknowledge what she can do but im just completly inept at actually using her properly so she will be swapped out for my brand spanking new Yin The Penangalan wich i bought as a second place prize for myself instead of a personal pat on the back!
With the list i ended up with 6 Stones for Yan Lo and most of the time i ended up trading the maximum three for that amount of Chi to start off with and it mostly paid off it seems.. I heard some rumours that Yan Lo might loose the whole path system in the new 2.0 version of Malifaux wich i must admit would make me a very sad panda as thats the whole reason i bought him in the first place but we shall see once i get my hands on the book..

What have i got planned in regards to modeling for the next while you ask ?
Well i need to finish up the bases of my HOTT army and seal the damn thing just for the sake of completion.. I also have some conversions planned for my Britanan force for Relics and hopefully i will get a Dreadball team painted up so i have a nice one to play with.. the guys at the club enjoy pointing out that my teams are not even undercoated yet so i will need to do something about that i think ^^
I must try and not set too many goals in regards to painting and modelling as i seem to grind to a halt whenever the projects pile up infront of me so i think i shall leave those three things as my work list and try and finish up some stuff before moving onwards..

I think this will do for now and hopefully i can put together something interesting more often now that i dont plan to attach photos of stuff every time..

Obey the overlords Earthlings!

March Madness.. this fits better with March!!

 Woohoo time for updating!!! =D
I know i have left you all without my insightful comments for way too long but fear not.. your dose of mini goodness has arrived so sit back jack in and enjoy the fuck out of these lovely images!!!

First up are 2 pictures of my Hydra that i finally managed to get done.. it still needs its base (like the rest of my HotT army) but thats a minor issue.. its painted.. thats awesome.. goddamn awesome!!!!
I went with red eyes green scales and orange spines with a nice wash to add some depth to it all and i must admit i am rather pleased with the outcome..

 

 Next up is a (blurry and dark) picture of my entire HotT army all lined up and ready to go.. its been a hard road up to this point but damnit its worth it.. im loving the orange and green together..
All thats left is to throw some flock on the bases and seal the lot of them with some varnish spray and if they are lucky ill even build a little box for them to be dragged around in.. i know im too nice to them but ahh well they deserve it ^^

And now on to my next project.. PUPPETS!!! =D
Here is Belmont nearing completion.. he is missing his eyes and some work on his coat and a wash but thats about it really.. i love his little goatee.. its awesome!!
And ofc lets not forget that he is a frakkin puppet!!!

Here we have one of Belmonts minions.. he is ready to wreak havoc on the Kings enemies (he keeps forgetting to bring ammunition to the fights so he uses his rifle as a club.. he has become rather fond of quoting lines from Braveheart while smashing Nuem faces in!)

Hopefully i wont be a lazy fuck and will actually get some more work done soon and therefore also put more posts up but we all know that i am most likely going to be a lazy fuck.. ahh well ^^

See you on the dark side of the moon earthlings!

February Madness!!

Right so i need to write another blog post to make sure this thing wont die off before it even began so here you go earthlings!

First up i want you to feast your eyes upon the Relics kickstarter!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/torgaming/relics-reinforcements

Relics is a wonderful skirmish game with some interesting and innovative rules regarding combat and spell casting.. at first glance i did not think it would work but having played it i can say that it really does work really well!

Next up i will throw some Relics models at you cause were on the subject and noone likes to change the subject.. atleast no on my blog!!!
I have been gifted with a starter for the Britanan faction wich is a bunch of british looking puppets in the service of the King! I cant begin to tell you how amazing the models look.. very stylish and definetly sticking with the theme of little puppets!

Here is a shot of some of my puppets after assembly..

They were a little difficult to get on the base as i was afraid the little wooden peg legs would snap but thankfully it all went okay and they are now standing on the base and ready to wreak havoc on the Kings enemies!

Next up is a picture of my Company Seargent Major named Belmont! Here he has gotten some basic colours on and is looking much more like the fierce leader that he is! At some point he will also be joined by his trust bugle playing aide Wiggins!

And ofc he cannot go into battle without some troops to order around!

I am planning on giving them green coats with black hats and cream white cloth.. it should look nice but we will see once they are closer to being finished ^^

Last time i showed you my Deneghra with abit of colour.. i have not finished her (more or less) and so here she is!

Not the best picture but it will do for now.. her spear is abit bent but im not that good at working with this type of plastic yet so for now this will have to do..

I have started work on the next part of my Cryx force.. a Slayer Helljack!

I got some interesting stuyff planned for the big armour plates on him so hopefully if everything works out i can show that off soon.. for now he has had two coats of dry brushing done and so far im rather pleased with the result..

I also finished the little froggies so here you go.. enjoy!

I am so happy with how they look.. the base is not done yet but they really do look like little tree frogs so im well pleased!! =D

Here is my behemoth for the force..

He doesnt really have much paint on him yet but it is still one hell of an impressive model!

Lastly here is a picture of the finished leader for my Hordes of the Things army.. he has his trusty slug with him so dont go throwing insults at him if you are not prepared to be fed to a giant slug!! ^^

That is all for now.. i will strive to post another blog post soon (i know promises promises ^^) so you can see some more progress abit faster.. family is coming over for a visit soon tho so that will take some time away from painting and modelling..

Stay frosty Earthlings!

First post of the new year!

So.. i finally realised that i can give titles to my posts o0
Some of you might be thinking "idiot".. and youd be right =P
Anyway its a new year and hopefully the start of some excellent shit!

Here i am btw hard at work.. what a busy little bumblebee i am.. aww yeah!

First up for you today i have a picture of Deneghra.. she will be leading the forces of the Dragonfather in the near future and hopefully she will not disapoint.. currently i have applied two coats of drybrushing to her.. first a bronze one and then a silver one.. next up is the cloth with will be brought back to pure black and then drybrushed (yes i love drybrushing!) with a dark green and then a lighter green so hopefully i can show that off soon..

Second i want to show off is my little Frog dudes.. they are the basic infantry for my Hordes of the Things army so i am trying to get them all done in one go.. there are 5 bases with 5 models on each base giving 25 of the little fuckers in total.. thats 100 hands and feet that i have had to paint.. fuck o0
Its been totally worth it tho as im loving how they look.. the camera is slightly shaky but dont worry thats just me not having had enough tea.. i will try and provide more quality pictures as time and work progresses! ^^

Here is a base before i did the hands and feet..

And here is a base after i have done the hands and feet..

The Red blob on the spear was an early attempt at that particular part of the model but i have since then decided that i am going to just paint all those blobby bits a nice cream..ish colour..

Hopefully in the not too distant future i might actually have a fully painted army.. how about that =D

Welcome to the new year Earthlings!
