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!

Another quick note...
(0) comments,   (0) trackbacks

Just finished and submitted the essay I was working on, hooray! I really should be studying (have an exam at 9am and I haven't begun to study yet) but I want to post a super-quick progress report before I bury my face in another textbook.

I didn't get any work done on the Venators today... but I did start painting an Ogre Maneater for the same army. I have the attention span of a gnat.

WTF took you so long?
(2) comments,   (0) trackbacks

Yep, I know it's hard to believe but I actually finished a model! My first one since Games Day, as sad as that is. I pretty much coasted all summer, lost motivation for any army projects, got sidetracked by a University semester with 5 senior-level Comparative Literature courses, had a bit of an existential funk for a while, and suffice it to say none of this was conducive towards painting miniatures. Enough talk, here's the pics!...

Still slaving away at my Golden Demon entries. Got the 40k Single entry nearly finished, at which point I'll probably spiff up some Wood Elf units/characters for entry in other categories. I'll never get the new ones finished on time :-D The other categories are still up in the air though, I have way more single figs finished than I can enter, and I don't know which 40k Squad I will be able to get done on time. Hopefully I'll be able to enter something, 40k's so much fun for painting contests. Lots of freedom....

You know you've been painting a long time when...

After a marathon painting session this evening, my tongue's turned a lovely shade of green/brown/black. I'm a proud brushlicker, and I did a lot of work tonight :-D My main entry for GD Toronto (which will be revealed in a few days when it's finished) is probably about half done at this point. The scenic base is done, the skin, nails/teeth, and some of the cloth is done too. Not bad at all for a single day's work. I'm hoping he'll be done by Thursday night. I usually don't make deadlines I post on blogs, but since I leave next Wednesday morning I kinda have to now!...

I hate drill bits, but I love Sisters of Battle
(2) comments,   (0) trackbacks

Yep, I've broken 5 bloody drill bits in about 10 days I reckon. I've pretty much reduced myself to a handful of drill bits the width of a human hair, and another handful that are way too big to be useful. Lovely huh? Oh, and I've got several throbbing puncture wounds in my left hand as well. The last one dug in about 8mm I would imagine. I do have a pic to show off though, my alt color scheme Canoness. The HQ will have the all-metal look to them, and if I get super lazy then all the rank and file will get this color scheme as well. It'll take a fraction of the time if I do it that way....
