<p>It just dawned on me that I am leaving for Games Day in 9 days. I still haven't started my 40k Single entry (my &quot;main&quot; entry), and I haven't quite sorted which of my many many many almost finished painted minis to enter in the other categories.&nbsp;I have a ton of painting to do, I...

Hey guys, just a random thought: How about we share our oldest submission to the gallery. It should be a fun way to compare and contrast to see how far we\'ve come. My oldest? A Salamander sergeant, image #670. My newest? Arwen, image #183437. Going from blacklining and a single edge...

<p>Yep, I've broken 5 bloody drill bits in about 10 days I reckon. I've pretty much reduced myself to a handful of drill bits the width of a human hair, and another handful that are way too big to be useful. Lovely huh? Oh, and I've got several throbbing puncture wounds in my left hand as well...

<p>First off, I just noticed the other day that my blog has quickly become the #2 most visited blog on Coolminiornot. Thanks to everyone who has emailed, commented, and PM'ed me over the last few months. It's great to have people following and supporting my efforts.&nbsp;</p><p>After a lot of...

Hey guys, I know there\'s been a ton of great models done up on lava bases over the years, and now it\'s my turn to give it a shot. The problem? I can\'t find any good photos that clearly show what the lava looks like from above. Hell Dorado models grab my eye, and the work of others look...

<p>Should be a wicked fun weekend. Tom (phesmic) and myself are driving down to Blackfalds to visit the legendary Glyn &quot;Zaphod&quot; Evans. He's so hip he has trouble seeing over his pelvis!</p><p>Should be good times, we'll be judging a GROTS painting contest followed by some combination...

<p>I'm really having some fun converting and placing these Sisters of Battle on urban rubble style bases. It's the same basic plan as the Blood Ravens bases: cork for concrete, help from the bitz box and plasticard for making fallen beams, pipes and lots of tank accessory bitz for random junk on...

<p>Well if you take a look at my hand, you can tell how much modelling I've done the last day or two. My thumb is criss-crossed with hundreds of tiny cuts from Xacto blades, and is missing a few decent meaty chunks. Very little blood, though, which is always a plus! I'm also sporting a nice fat...

<p>Not enough to warrant a photo just yet, but some work has been done on the unit for the first time in a few weeks. The display base thing is finished, save for the static grass/clump foliage/leaf scatter type stuff. I have to see what I can get my hands on before doing the forest floor...

<p>Hey guys, been a while since I updated anything. I was a bit burned out after finals/term papers at the end of the semester, and have spent most of my&nbsp;time sleeping, playing video games and trying to get back in shape rather than painting. Re-doing my bedroom had something to do with it...

<p>This was a lot more fun than I thought! I built a display base/movement tray for the Dryad regiment. I used a 99 cent wood thingy from a craft store, and carved up several pieces of balsa wood to accomodate the bases. The tops of the bases are almost exactly the right level to match the...

<p>I'm pretty excited to paint this next unit up for my Wood Elves. They each represent a couple hours worth of hacking, pinning, filing, gap filling, etc. and I think the result matches the fluff better than the trees with boobs from the plastic kit.</p><p><a href="../blog_images/81003745.jpg"...

<p>Don't worry kids, it's not as dirty as it sounds. I'm still alive, and still occasionally sitting down and getting some work done. For the campaign I've had to build another 2 regiments, and once again my school work prevented me from doing any actual painting. 5 Glade Riders are 100% built...

http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/03/27/tech-photoshop.html I haven\'t had a chance to read up on it thoroughly, but I came across the article and thought that those of you without CS might be interested in giving it a try. Sounds like you\'re supposed to be in the US to sign up... but...

<p>Just thought I'd poke my head in the door to say something... I have been swamped with University stuff the last couple weeks and have barely picked up a brush this month. I found a bit of time to assemble and prime another dozen Glade Guard for the campaign, but that's about it. After I get...

<p>Been a while since I mentioned the campaign specifically. I am happy to say that the Woodies have improved to 7-2. Additionally I claim a moral draw for one game against Dwarfs, since it would've been a draw instead of minor loss if we were using the correct bolt thrower rules (ie. not...

<p>Like the title says, I'm almost done with this guy. Just have to do the horns, forearms and the vine on the scythe really. The horns will be bone, with all the swirly runes being teal-white like on the shield. I think it'll look groovy. The runes will take forever though.</p><p><img...
