'Ard Boyz 2010

We had the first round of 'Ard Boyz today. Gary was MIA so I ran the whole thing myself, even tho I was miserable thanks to 4 hours of sleep - thx working till midnight - and had to set up all the tables for it by myself. I had 4 major rule clarifications to issue, about BA Land Raiders using Descent of Angels when deepstriking (they cant), characters being involved in melee (base contact only and first to move in plz), what happens to Zogwort using 'Ere We Go and mishaps (back into reserves) and and mycetic spore pods being tank shocked (they move out of the way). I think I did pretty good seeing as the INAT FAQ agrees with me. Its a good tune up for Capitol Punishment!

Pics of some units I'm working on for a commission right now.

Daemon Prince painting marathon

So close to being done. So close! Gypsy crumb!

New Trygon, almost done. Dont look at the background, my desk is a mess.

And heres the new Daemon Prince getting ready for Conquest: Armageddon

New Trygon model in progress

Im painting the new Trygon model for GEG, more pics when I get it done.

2010 Tournament Circuit

GW has posted a listing of all the tournaments included in the 2010 Circuit. The goal is the 2011 invite-only Vegas GT. I strongly encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity, as it really seems like the GW GT scene has a hard time getting off the ground.

2009 CoC Champion!

So I won the 2009 40k tourney season at the store. The final tournament was 2500 points and although I did not win the final installment, I won Best Painted (woo!) and had enough of a lead in the overall standings to still take home the title. That makes 3 for me, in '05, '06, and '09. Ill be back to defend my title starting January 2010, and I plan on documenting the games and breaking down what happened.



Heres a pic I took in my second game. My Daemon Prince is sitting center, locked in melee with two armless dreadnoughts haha. Took her 8 combat rounds to finish them both off but it saved her from being cooked by the Deathwing return fire. Respect to Tim Trammel for a good game and a hearty 'Curse you!' for beating me by 1 vote for Players Choice. Damn Imperials! ;)

2009 CoC season finale

The last tournament this season is 2500 points. Im adding an additional squad of 10 Berzerkers with Land Raider transport. Some quick updates:
Side doors are good places for freehand work. I didnt have an idea of what to do here, I just started painting and this is what it became. Heres the finished product:
The unfocused blob in the foreground (thx cameraphone) is the cupola marine, modded to hold a severed head, as if pink and black wasnt scary enough. More pics of that when the modelling putty dries. Heres the whole army laid out, minus a squad of Berzerkers thats currently in pieces on my desk:

Coming up in the near future are a continuation of the Apocalypse league, a shot at the Siege of Vraks from the Forgeworld books, and a new Daemon Prince thats in the process of having new arms sculpted. Details later~

Pictures!

Ork Warboss on a Bike, a commission for Ed Allen. Resin original from Forge World. No conversions wanted or needed. A very big model. Took awhile to get all the metal appropriately rusty/dirty and still make the colors pop. Im also super proud of the checkerboard on the right rear fender, right dakkagun, and left shoulderpad. Blended up from Fortress Grey and all freehand!



Shot from another angle.

Daemon Prince for Ryan McCall, about 18 months old now. Converted the right hand from generic sword (yawn) to elite crab claw (pinch) and the head from boring normal daemon head (zzZZzz) to snake/leech thingy (it sucks in a good way!). Slapped some wings on his back, added some modelling putty, and off he went. This is just a rumor, but I dont think Ryan has lost a game since he started using this model. Coincidence???

More daemon prince.

I need a better way to take pictures, a proper lamp and backdrop would do the trick but the camera software does a good job of compensating. I'll work on that. Also, the Tale of 12 Gamers was last Sunday, Ill post pics when I have some progress. My Chaplain is finished but he has no base and I have been busy getting the Ork Warboss finished and prepping for this weekend's Apocalypse throwdown.
