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!

Master of the Fleet finally finished!
(1) comments,   (0) trackbacks

Woohoo, finally finished! He's now known as Agrippa, Captain of IV Company and Master of the Fleet. His shin guard says "Classis" on it, which is Latin for fleet. Can't see it so good in the pics. You can vote for him here.

Last WIP shot of Master of the Fleet
(2) comments,   (0) trackbacks

Like the title says, I reckon this will be the last WIP shot of this guy. I just need to prime and paint him a backpack one of these days, and settle on a color for the hammer haft and he'll be good to go.

I don't think I'll enter him in the Golden Goblin contest, I'd rather sleep in than paint a backpack first thing in the morning. And if I enter him now, then I can't enter him in the Golden Demon qualifier rounds later this year... I'm not sure if I'm going yet and I don't want to screw up my backup plan :-)...

(0) comments,   (0) trackbacks

I put a little bit of work this afternoon into some models, if I get them done tonight without completely destroying my chances of getting my homework finished for the weekend, then I'll enter them in the Golden Goblin painting contest Saturday.

And who ever said peer pressure was a bad thing? Now I've got a dragon that's actually finished and matches the rest of my army properly. I should've put the couple of hours in to finish this model ages ago. If you want to vote for this model, ...

Macbook Air, so hot
(5) comments,   (0) trackbacks

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, I won't waste any time. Click here. For the rest of you: I think I know where my next $3000 is going. Holy crap this thing is the exact definition of what a laptop should be.

For years I've been asking why bother make a laptop that isn't either a) completely portable (ie. under 4 lbs!) or b) a more or less portable powerhouse computer. I always said that anything else was a waste of money. I wept bitter tears when they discontinued my beautiful 12" MacBook Pro recently, and this year I vowed to wait until I graduate before I get a laptop, that way solid state drives will be available on something other than Alienware gaming laptops....
