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!

It's pretty crazy, but Games Day is this Saturday. I feel pretty good about what I'm bringing down. Sadly the Dragon couldn't make the trip, it was taking damage from my last minute transportation attempts. As far as entries go, I'll be taking down Arwen, my Blood Ravens captain, Warrior Priest, and a couple of random regiments from my gaming collection will be entered in the Squad/Regiment categories. All those have been seen already.

 But this guy is new! When I get back home I'll post a ton of WIP shots and talk through them a bit. It's pretty neat when you have like 16 photos of a model during various stages of completion. I don't have any WIP shots of the last painting session, so there's a big jump from almost done to completely done. Anyway, here's some photos. I hope you like him, and I hope the judges do too....

Sisters of Battle test figure

Hey guys, been a while since I updated anything. I was a bit burned out after finals/term papers at the end of the semester, and have spent most of my time sleeping, playing video games and trying to get back in shape rather than painting. Re-doing my bedroom had something to do with it as well, I no longer have the space for both a computer desk and a painting desk. I'm currently experimenting with a computer desk buried in hobby supplies, time will tell if this solution can work.

Finished Arwen model

Hooray, I finally got pics of my finished Arwen model up.

Do the vote thing here. Apparently the blog doesn't like it when I link images beyond about 550 pixels wide. I'll try to remember that so the formatting doesn't get screwed up :D

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.

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, ...
