GMM Studios posted up shots of the finished Rime of the Ancient Marienburger Empire army for Adepticon, and all I can say is wow. An amazing piece of work, with a display board that isn’t really a display board any more. The entire army is themed to cr…
After a few weeks of not painting, i decided my plastic pile needed a lick of colour so i got cracking on 9 men. But first, a little modelling.Ok, this idea has already been done before, taking the mounted legs and sticking them on a lesser armoured bo…
First try of Sharp Practice with the ‘ol medievals.As a first go, i can’t give you a proper idea, as i forgot several things; reloading times, the bonus cards (might do Silver Whistle’s idea) and some other things. I played it a little like Dux Britann…
Welcome to the first article in the A Tale of Wired Gamers. All the participants have set themselves the goal of building and painting a new army over the next several months. We aim to post every week with our progress but for week one I’ll…
Back at home with my figures now! I’llbe back at lycée Monday so life will return to its normal rythem.While thinking, i decided i didn’t want small, bitty retinues, so i decided to expand my French one. So far i have the figures below:I plan to turn …
It’s a late one here at the mumblings. Having had a fairly marathon day of modelling and painting with me aould pal Craig of Blog of Grudges, we’ve settled into the wee hours with a combination of fimir monstrous cavalry construction and dwarf warrior …
FInally my turf order from ebay seller arrived. Actually it came really fast but I’m impatient . I’ve been waiting these alot because I don’t have any basing materials for my epics. I have used different lenghts of static grass but it just doesn’t look right. After a few gents from the tactical command forum [...]
I’ve spent some time lately with the less glamorous work involved with the army, most notably movement trays. I’m really happy with the resin trays I’m using, they look great, but man, are they boring to paint. They even need tufts, moss pads and water…
I’ve had some bits and pieces arrive for the fimir project in the last couple of weeks, which gives me the components I need to assemble some more of the units. I’m still painting unit fillers, so in the meantime I’ve been mocking up some new models.So…
Inspired by some mail banter this morning, I’ve decided to post up some thoughts on movement trays. I don’t think I’ve covered this before, but if I have, sure, what the hell, it’s not like it’ll be on the news.Anyway. When I were a lad movement trays …
I got some citadel washes and glazes for about 50% off the NZ recommended price (cost me $3.60) and I also brought reaper empty bottle to transfer them to because I prefer the dropper style and they fit into my painting organiser. Which is BTW filling up and I might have to get another one. [...]
by Chris Webb In anticipation of great things for Warpath this year I kicked off a Forge Father army. I want my units of Steel Warriors to look uniform – so they’re all based on the helmeted plastic Warrior and cloaked legs. The Thane is picked out with a pieces from the Dwarf sprue – [...]
What better way to get us all in the mood for some Clash of Kings news later today than with some Kings of War hobby! Hybrid Alpha’s Undead Skeleton Horde really caught our eye last week and on further investigating his painting log on the Mantic Forum is simply mindblowing! Not only do these figures [...]
Started working on my Midgard Delvers (or the Southgard Stunties) recently. I’d like to finish these up in a couple of weeks. Filed under: Modelling, painting
I tried to resist.I said to myself, stay on target, get the movement tray painted for the half-dead, that’s the respoinsible thing to do. It’s not like they’re even that great, look, nobody is taking them! They must suck.But, I couldn’t. I’m lite…
Yarr, Nurgle pirates!Today for my wistful stroll through the meadows of hobby, I shall deliver my opinion on display boards onto you.I like display boards. There, my hat is in the proverbial ring. I really don’t understand why some people take against …
The unit is assembled. I can put aside the scalpel, green stuff and clay shapers for another while and take out the brushes again. Putting these models together has been very enjoyable, indulging my undead Celtic bog mummy habit. I’d had that unit in m…
I’m ploughing towards the end of assembly for the half dead, with only two figures left. Then I’ll be swapping the green stuff, clippers and files for paint and brush once again. I’m hoping to have the unit painted by the end of February, which for me …
I while ago I ordered some Reaper Master Series Paints direct from Reaper. They arrived via the YouShop service run by NZ Post yesterday. I ended up saving a quite few $$ and getting exactly what I wanted re paint colours . My painting organiser is setup with three paint pots per section. This fits [...]
Having to paint up 80+ bases is a daunting task for me. However, I knew if I wanted to play the game, I couldn’t just glue the models to the bases. I had to paint them first. Anyway, simple spray … Continue reading →
So, after playing a few games of Dreadball by Mantic Games, I’ve become annoyed at how the ball doesn’t sit well on the base of the ball carrier- it falls off whenever you move the model. I remedied this by drilling … Continue readin…
I recently caught up with my gaming buddy Kieran (6mm Wargaming), and he brought round his completed 1/72 scale Italeri European Building kitsets he has done for his 1944 Normandy terrain. Kieran’s been taking a break from Crossfire and playing…
My organiser arrived today (very quick service ) and its the real deal!. It took longer to remove the backing paper than it took to assemble. Very well made and its just what I needed in fact I think I might get another one to put on top. I got a purple top and bottom [...]
The cutting, burning and sculpting continues on the half dead, with another three members ready for priming. The standard bearer is an old Celtos model. I had to lengthen the torsos of the plastic Celtic warrior parts I’m using as they need to be a lit…
The full running order for the de Argostini Combat Tanks Collection in New Zealand has now been available for sometime (i.e. since mid-2012) – I thought it might be useful to quickly post it up here along with updated links to the forum (which mo…
