New Projects Ahead!

I am back!

I have been busy the last weeks working on a new project that does not involve this blog, hence my lack of updates.  

But fear not, I have not been slacking, and tomorrow I will have shiny undead pimps to shwcase for you all.

As my other project takes shape, I will be updating this blog less frequently, but I still have a lot of nice commissions to paint, so more nice showcases on the way.

No rest for slackers!

I am still alive and well despite the lack of updates.

My non blogging has a purpose I swear, I just can't show it off yet ( that's what she said )

Spawn-ernaughts

 This is a small update to the Khorne force I posted last week ( Click here, you lazy bum! ).

These sexy poneys I got in a trade a while back and planned to used them as spawns in Blood Lord James McBadass' force.  The red on them I did as a test, playing around with colors and trying out stuff I've read about online ( not that stuff, you perv ) and thought they looked weird.

Despite the weirdness, I'm not really looking to break some kind of awesome looking record with these models, I just want to painted so I can push them around on the battlefield, so I left the red as is, weird and all.  The weirdness dissapeared once the trims were basecoated ( left ).

There are some mistakes and still a lot more to learn before I master this technique, but yay me, my khorne  ponies don't suck.

I paint these guys when I'm ealry at the shop, or after my shift if I have to wait for someone/the bus, so no progress planned with the rest of the force, but still, now that I don,t find them weird, motivation to paint them rises!

The Annual Christmassacre!

The Christmassacre: get in the spirit of christmas by delivering beatings in the 41st millenium.

As I've mentionned elsewhere, when I'm not painting miniature or drinking furiously in foreign lands, I work at a game store.  I usually leave the tournament and event management to my co-workers who are much more involved, but every once in a while, I step in. 

The Christmassacre would be one of those time.

For the past few years, we gather at the game store on December 24th and play Apocalypse from 9 AM to 4PM ish.

Who is we?  Guys their wife want out of the house for various reasons.  Guys back in town for the holiday.  Those that planned ahead and don't have shoping to do. Denis, who would never miss Apocalypse.

So I share this here, hoping that this year or next year, some other store or club will run it's own christmassacre.

That's the Christmassacre.  That and Irish coffee with the staff, because traditions.  Yes, Christmas Irish Coffee is a tradition as old as the Christmassacre.

The Undead Pimps WiP

The Vampire Lord is nearly complete.  Nagash went through the airbrush.  I wanted to get David's approval before going further with the project, models this size I don't want to do over, or have an unsatisfied custommer.  Hit the Jump for MOAR pictures!

The FTGT Hobby Challgenge Update

If you have no clue what this is, please click here and read the introduction post.

For the rest of you ( all two of you ) hit the jump to get your first glimpse of what I'm actually doing with this project.

This week's to do list

It's december, snowing outside, I can feel the beastmode creeping back on me.  Also, I just set up my christmas tree and setup a christmas movie advent.  Also, growing up is overrated.  Staying on subject too.  Haterz.

The FTGT Budget Hobby Challenge is starting and so are the FTGT Hobby Tuesday, where I hopefully have some progress every week on my challenge.

David's undead pimps are taking shape, I should have a WiP up on wednesday, and will propably finish them by the end of the week.  Or only have a few touch ups to do.

I have laid basecoat to Boily's Ravenguard jump infantry.  No plan to blitz them yet, I do them between projects, or if it's too early to airbrush and I want to paint.

Eric's Vulkan is assembled.  That model is a pimp, I can't wait to start it.  If I succeed my Ld check, it will be next week once the Undead are done, but who knows.

On another note, I found/bought/traded/received all but 2 models for my ND Open army.  Although small, it is mighty.  And if not mighty, it will be pretty.  If not pretty, I have failed you all.

Until next time, keep painting!
