Finished Bloodbowl Orks, next up ... humans!

Ok, guys,

Here are the finished bloodbowl orks. I will post photos of a game against wood elves soon. For now, enjoy the greenskins! Next up on the painting table are the hummies!

Belial: Master of the Deathwing, and my free time.

Hi folks,

I started building the terminators for my dark angels army: the deathwing. The dark angels' codex allows you to take terminator squads as regular troop types if you have Belial as a HQ choice. Also, if you spend an extra 25 or so points, and include the deathwing chapter standard, the terminators each get an additional attack. However, GW does not manufacture a Belial mini. So, I began to convert on of the terminator suits to reflect a Belial character. These, above images, are the beginning. Just laid down some of the paint and a bit of the detail. I still need to do highlights and text on the armor. Also, most of the back of the model is unpainted. I also intend to include a standard.

Hey guys!

I thought I'd post these photos of the current project I'm working on. These are for a friend and when I finish them we'll be able to have a few games with our teams. I am not doing anything spectacularly original here, and I've been able to bring these guys to this stage in approximately 6 hours, considering the fact that I've been out of practice for about six months. Obviously they need some more work, but they are pretty close to being finished (photos are overexposed -- sorry!).

I have over 1100 points of Dark Angels SMs assembled on the table with a Ravenwing attack squadron waiting in the wings to be primed. This should bring me up to about 1250.

Above are some shots of a veteran (photos 1, 3 & 4) and tactical squadron. The marine with angels' symbol on the MK7 helmet (second photo) is from a regular tactical squad. He, like all the others in the squad, is converted so that the bolter is kept from in front of his chest. This was simple: by cutting directly above the elbow guard and below the shoulder guard the arm can be turned out. The other arm, which is used to grip the gun below the barrel, is turned back. It's a good-looking conversion, simple, and it allows you to prime the figure all at once and paint it w/all the details exposed.

The other vets have legs from a terminator sprue and the rest are leftover pieces. Taking my cue from the Ultramarine vanguard veterans, but also wanting to make the squad stand out as vets (through poses and stature) I painted a laurel on the helmets to signify, in part, that they are veterans. I still have alot of work to do but the progress has been OK thus far.

Wesleyan anyone?

Hey guys! I know I haven't posted anything for a while (I will, I promise), but I need your help on something. A student of mine is considering going to Wesleyan university in CT. Does any of you know anything about the university? I would appreciate in insider info. from anyone you know.

Anyway, Easter break's upon us here and so I wish you all happy (belated) Easter!

I beat "LittleChessPartner" because I am a pimp.

Hey everyone,

I have some AT-43 pics I will post this weekend, but I don't figure there is a rush, as they can't look all that different from the last games.  Nevertheless, I have some converted Copplestones that I will post.  In the meantime, I have been trying to beat the LittleChessPartner from Chess.com since Less turned me onto the site.  Now mind you, I suck pretty bad, and the computer, you will notice, is set to "Easy."  Nevertheless, it has been beating me in humiliating ways, and tonight for the first time daddy spanked the computer.  Uh.

You will notice thatI am behind on points as well - so I had to sacrifice pieces in order to get into a good position.  This is the mark of a true master.

Here are a few photos of things I've been working on:

The Eldar were a challenge after countless Necrons, but I was going to have to learn to paint them someday; so after many false starts and color scheme trials, I settled on this scheme from the codex. Nearly complete: a squad of ten including weapons platform and a Warlock. I'll post the family photo when the work is complete. They took much too long and the lines on the helmets and the eyes aren't crisp enough. But I like 'em.

My Orc and Goblin WArband is finally finished, sans Squigs. I actually designed with a stratagy in mind. But now that the Rackham Craze is sweeping the nation, I'm uncertain when we'll go zombie hunting. I'm not discussing or fully revealing the warband composition on this unsecure blog til after the actual match. The big Orc is slightly bashed: the bone headress and the goblin arrows protruding from his neck and the trophy dangling from the big fuckin spikey mace make him absurd and menacing in equal measure: he's the current (and currently anonymous) warboss.
