  • So I missed out on yesterday’s 2K tournament at Galaxy Books and Comics, which was ultimately won by a nifty Black Templar army from Lawton, Oklahoma.  From what I saw while I was there, it did the heavy lifting with three Vindicators, three 2-strong units of Typhoon Speeders, and a...

  • This is a cry for help… HELP! Problem:  Shiny Solution:  Matte Spray So what isn’t it working? I keep a mini on the side board to paint on while paint is drying on whatever ‘main’ project I happen to be pursuing; in this case, the main project is finishing up...

  • With less than two months to go, Adepticon is the next big event on my tournament horizon.  Currently, I’m not planning on playing in the Championship rounds, since I’m scheduled to participate with Jon, Nick, and Goat in the Team Tournament. Last year three days in a row of a...

  • I guess I’ll file this under Afternoon Quickies; it’s not going to have much more than the army lists, today. Recap Tournament:  Good time. Game One = Buy…  I was at my nephew’s baptism so missed Round One.  The MM(esno) held a spot for the afternoon.   Game Two =...

  • I’ve long admired Fritz’s sturdy flying bases, so set about creating my own for the Necron Destroyers and Spyders.  Inside each tube is a magnet, allowing for a better hold during the game and easy storage after.  Here I’ve loaded three paint sticks with the metal Conclave / Henchmen models...

  • I repainted the brown cloth with a grey-based white, layering up to a final white highlight.  I didn’t spend a particularly large amount of time on it, being a test model, but here’s the result. The contrast against the red armor is worlds better, but Lord knows white is a...

  • Ah, Necrons!  I have to admit, these silver automatons have captured my imagination.  I’ve rarely been this excited about a new Codex. I’m sort-kinda-maybe working on them a bit.  I was making progress on the Spyders but had to put them aside for the commission work for the Client Pimp...
