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!

Should've kept my big mouth shut

As the title suggests, I spoke too soon re: my computer situation. It didn't stay up and running for long, it was sidelined with more crippling errors shortly after I posted that. I haven't touched it for a few days, and I plan on wiping and trying one last time before setting it on fire. I'm probably not even kidding, it would be so incredibly satisfying...

Anyway I've used my week off (spring break woo!) pretty well so far. I've done like 2 hours of reading for school and put probably 6 hours of gaming and 12+ hours of modelling in so far. I have 4 Treekin WIP, 1 finished, 2 almost finished, and one freshly purchased today. The big project at the moment is a Noble on Great Stag conversion. I used a mountain of greenstuff on Morathi's Dark Pegasus to turn it into a bulky hairy beast and I must say it's looking impressive. I need to bulk out the front legs and make him a worthy rack of antlers tomorrow and he'll be ready for priming.

Well, there's one other detail that needs attending to. Being a boy deer/elk creature, and given his pose rearing up on hind legs standing on some cool ruins, he really needs boy parts. Yep, I get to sculpt a big hairy stag dong tomorrow. It's surprisingly hard to find reference material to ensure he's anatomically correct.
