My Time Away...

To All,

After kicking my addiction to was Borderlands 2 on the XBox 360 I am setting myself up to get back into painting and posting on the blog. I picked up an XBox 360 on Black Friday for my son but we broke it out when we arrived home. I wasted an entire month of painting/gaming time playing it and in that time my space was taken over and turned into the "Christmas Gift Wrapping Station" by my wife. 

 My wife is completely  supportive of my hobby, but she saw empty space and decided to use it.

 My painting table has turned into a huge mess so I'm going to clean it up tonight.

 Hopefully I'll have better pictures tomorrow.

Feast of Blades: Fear the Legion

To All,

Here is the Stout Smurf's list for the Feast of Blades Open - Two units of Legion of the Damned!

28mm Skeleton Archers

To All,

Last night I painted up five of skeleton archers from Emperor’s Choice Melkalund City line.

The guy who sculpted these figures must also be a painter/gamer because, in my humble opinion, there is the perfect amount of detail on them to make them stand out but not too much as to be overwhelming for the novice painter or obnoxious for the veteran painter. They are just a joy to work with!

Check out Emperor's Choice website - they have a bunch of other excellent figures.

Back to work.....

To all,

After a short hiatus I am back to painting. Over the next two months I am going to working on three projects:

1) My 40K army for the Feast of Blades Tournament. I have to decide if I am going to flesh out my Ultramarines or go for something new, like a Nurgle/Plague Marine army. (here is a sneak peek of the Plague Marines I’m working on)

2) A Unit of Brigade Games Russians that will be donated/included in a silent auction at Fall In. Lon from Brigade Games is donating the figures and I ‘m going to paint them up. The silent auction benefits Toys for Tots.

(One of the benefits of bidding on and winning this unit is that you won’t have to preregister for a Gnome Wars game at an HMGS convention as long as you bring the unit along.)

3) Skeletons. I am going to be painting a unit of Emperor’s Choice Melkalund City skeletons. As I paint them I will be writing up a “workbench” article that will be on TMP.

I will be back to regular posting. More to come….
