Just thought I'd poke my head in the door to say something... I have been swamped with University stuff the last couple weeks and have barely picked up a brush this month. I found a bit of time to assemble and prime another dozen Glade Guard for the campaign, but that's about it. After I get some papers and stuff done this week I should be in reasonable shape for some painting the next little while. I would love to finish off some Core troops and paint up another Mage or two... and before too long I should start thinking more seriously about Games Day kind of stuff....

Used my wet pallete for the first time on the runes. I mix up a lot of the blue/teal color all the time, and now I have a reasonably large amount of all the intermediate hilights and stuff. Should last a while, since it's usually an accent color and not used for large areas. And this way I don't have to make a bunch of mixing pots :-D...

Been a while since I mentioned the campaign specifically. I am happy to say that the Woodies have improved to 7-2. Additionally I claim a moral draw for one game against Dwarfs, since it would've been a draw instead of minor loss if we were using the correct bolt thrower rules (ie. not sniping my battle standard bearer). At any rate, I'm now one game away from potentially reclaiming first place in the campaign. I briefly held it, ie. for half a day on week two before I lost both games that week.

Like the title says, I'm almost done with this guy. Just have to do the horns, forearms and the vine on the scythe really. The horns will be bone, with all the swirly runes being teal-white like on the shield. I think it'll look groovy. The runes will take forever though.

The nice thing about having the big scythe on the Alter is that I can BS it to represent anything I want. Hand weapon, spear, or great weapon :-) It'll likely be a great weapon most of the time, and the shield simply as added protection against spells/arrows. ...
