Cutting Corners with Dethtron

To Build a Better Game Room

Greetings dear blogosphere. In part of my summer of selfishness I’ve just started gutting the disaster that is my basement in order to give myself a nice place to game that is relatively free of spiders and no longer prone to flooding.

I didn’t get around to taking any before pictures as I should have, but I thought I’d share the current state of things. So far I’ve moved my copious gaming supplies, books, models, etc into my garage and various parts of the house. After that I removed the rest of the 1960s terrifying wood paneling that was left over and began removing the framework holding it up. (more…)

I finally got some pictures taken of the Eradicators that you guys named. If you hadn’t already figured it out, all of my Cadian tanks are named after AC/DC songs. I’ve got almost 30 tanks done and haven’t even come close to running out of names. It’s pretty great, I must say. The picture up top here is a group shot of all 3 tanks I finished. Since there was a tie for 2nd place with the names, I added a Demolisher that I had been needing to paint to my batch and gave him the 3rd name.

So to see more pictures of “Snowballed,” “Stiff Upper Lip,” and “Squealer” check out the halls of infamy.

If you’re interested, you can also see a WIP tutorial I did on some of the techniques I misused.

Just in case you were worried that I don’t actually play or model, I’m going to throw something of a hobby article your way tonight.
I just got and assembled a pair of the new Leman Russ tank kits in the mail today. Since I already have 8 regular Leman Russes, I assembled these as Eradicators (since the other variants are the suck).

Follow this link for a full WIP thread that will be updated until they are done. I should have them finished by Friday. In case you didn’t know, I paint fast. I’m not the greatest, but I can hold my own and make up for my marginal skills by actually being able to finish painting entire armies- nearly all of my 12k+ points of IG is painted.

Anyway the picture above is the first tank to which I’ve added some extra stowage. Here is a pic of the 2nd tank.

Now this is where you come in. I need names for these tanks. I’ve already got a theme going (see if you can figure out what it is- it started as a joke, but turned out to be quite possibly the best theme for tank names ever…nearly 30 tanks in and still not at a loss for quality names), but can’t decide on names for these two tanks. So hit up the the poll on your right to vote on names for these two guys. Since there are two tanks, you should be able to vote twice, unless I fuck something up. Thanks for the help and enjoy….
