Oooh happy day in the mail

Why am I so happy about this? Well its simple, good bases will make or break an army. You can have the most well painted thing in the world but sitting on the normal black base or with just some sand and your fig will go from a 10 to a 5 in about 2 second. In my case Im using Darkage bases, these puppies are resin casted and come in your normal small medium and large sizes. You can find most of the Darkage line on one of my favorite sites Coolminiornot.com . Later on I’ll post a more in-depth article on bases so stay tuned, till then Im off to paint!

Been awhile

I decided to go ahead and enter a 350 pt warmachine tournament. How did I do? Well check out this swaggy 3rd place coin from Privateer Press. Not to bad for my 3rd – 5th time playing. The next tourney is on October 11th, after I make a few adjustments to the list Im going to enter, who knows I might make second.

Well I said I would update soon with new pictures and not to dissapoint here are two new ones. I finally finished the test model of a skink, I like how he came out nice and undead. I also finished modding the steagadon, it only took 3 days of letting green stuff dry, but I’m very pleased with the final results.

Its not easy being green.. or undead

So after doing some commission work for a local player I decided that it was time to work on my own warhammer army. Now if you know me I can’t just make a normal army I have to do somthing special, so for my lizard men I decided that they would be suffering from alittle case of death.

Right now the list is 1000 points the main attraction of the army will be (like in any lizardmen army) the stegadon. In order to make it stick out I’ve decided to gut the model and resculpt it’s underbelly with the help of a spare corpse cart model.

Depending on how work goes this weekend I’ll post some higher res photos to my flicker till then it’s the usual iPhone photos.

Whoops

Wow I have completely neglected this blog for no good reason.. Well scratch that I do have some good reasons. So to give youall some updates, the lizard men are finished, I promise I’ll post some shots of them next week, Lee liked them and while working on them I came to the decision to build a lizardmen army for myself. With all luck I will have a list and some reviews going up soon.
Speaking of reviews I also have another to do, I recently got my hands on a p3 fine detail brush and hot damn that thing is nice, but more on that later.
Keep your peepers peeled and check your rss often I’ll be posting again soon.

So today.

Hey Lee, just to let you know I’ve gotten one full warrior done ( so I know what I’m doing ) so if you swing by the shop on Saturday you can see what a finished one will look like. Till then here’s a photo.
