Best Christmas present ever!

I've been painting since about 1998, traditionally a lot of 40k stuff but lately I've been doing a lot of work with Fantasy and the odd little side project here and there. I don't game as much as I'd like, and I don't paint as much as I'd like either... but I make up for this by purchasing way more models than I ought to!

I make an effort to try new things once in a while, and every once in a while I'll actually finish something. My current project is the Warriors of Chaos, it's an attempt at doing a 2,000pt army in under 6 weeks for the Fracas tournament here in Edmonton. A $100 ticket should give me motivation to get my army done on time, I would love some tournament trophies to add to my painting awards :-) After that, who knows what I'll be up to!

Still not dead (yet)

It's funny how often I make posts of this nature, but no worries boys and girls I'm still around :-)

Haven't been doing too much painting lately, or gaming for that matter. I'm working (slowly) on my classic Dwarf army, trying to get them all build and primed so I don't feel like quite as much of a hobo when I play small games with them. The current list involves about 2x10 Quarrellers, 20 Ironbreakers, and a smattering of war machines and small support units.

I'm currently still trying to get my hands on some more old school Hammerers and Longbeards, these guys are gorgeous but really hard to get in reasonable numbers. I missed a few really solid auctions on eBay for Hammerers and Thunderers, including a super-rare unit champ that I've been lusting over for a long time. I just completely forgot when the auction ended and missed it by a couple hours :-(...

Games Day rocked my socks off
(3) comments,   (0) trackbacks

Hey guys, I'll be home tonight so I can post some pics and stuff later. But for now, I'll just say how much fun I had in Toronto, and at Games Day. Met some cool people, got some cool swag, had an awesome visit with my old friend Jay Griffiths (head of retail Canada), and walked away with 4 trophies.

The Ork got gold in 40k single, which I was amazed to learn. That was one tough category, with 13 extremely solid finalists. Some great models didn't see the podium. Arwen, my Warrior Priest (with newly added snow flock), and my Master of the Fleet (with repainted company badge on his shoulder) all took bronze trophies in LoTR single, Fantasy single, and Open category....

Is it time for GD Canada already?!
(1) comments,   (0) trackbacks

Wow, the last few days have been a blur. Tons of painting, and everything else hobby related trying to get ready for the Golden Demons. I've got a tiny bit of work I still want to do before I call my entries finished, but the main ones are all polished up and I'm happy about that. Packing the Dragon is still a concern! He/they might not make the trip if I can't find a way to get them on carry-on intact. Pics of the new models are forthcoming, I swear!

At the event, I'll be wearing a bright green Out of the Basement Gaming t-shirt. Gotta represent the club ;-)...

Mounted Daemonettes on eBay
(0) comments,   (0) trackbacks

Just a quick blurb about my auction. I'm selling 8 of the lovely Juan Diaz mounted daemonettes right now. GW foolishly discontinued them right after releasing 2 army books that require the models. New models will hopefully be out within a year... in the mean time you can buy mine since I won't be playing Slaanesh any time soon!

You can find them ...

Zomg I think I'm in trouble!

It just dawned on me that I am leaving for Games Day in 9 days. I still haven't started my 40k Single entry (my "main" entry), and I haven't quite sorted which of my many many many almost finished painted minis to enter in the other categories. I have a ton of painting to do, I should really put away the gaming figs for a while!

Lol I'm really good at keeping track of time aren't I? :-D
