Painting for this week.

 
Back to painting this week! Let's see what's on tap! For starters I would like to finish one of the objective markers for Warhammer 40K I had been working on.

I started painting a couple of them before stopping, to plan my army for the Inner Circle Holiday Beatdown tournament.

I'm going to be working on 10 Ork gretchin and their runtherder as well.That is pretty much my limit these days. I hope to get MTD's Mad Dok this week if I see him to prep him for a paint job. I'll definitely take my time with him though. Here's the objective marker I'll be working on.

I really wanted to paint this one first because I have never painted white armour and I wanted to try an idea I had for it. I should have this one done by the end of the week, time permitting. 





 I'll throw up a picture or two of this and the gretchin after I have made some progress.

Stay Tuned!

Inner Circle Holiday Beatdown aftermath

Still recovering from the long day of playing 40K in a tournament. I had a lot of fun, met a lot of new people and saw some old friends as well.  My man Dameon won best general with his Chaos army, and my man Tim garnered best painted with his tau army. I won "best primed army" :) I had nothing painted except a bike and a dreadnought.

I wish I had more practice games with this new list but them's the breaks. I'll keep plugging away at he army until I get it. It also gives me an opportunity to paint it by June for the next big tourney that the Inner Circle guys are throwing. I had 3 fun games with 3 nice guys. I went 0-2-1. I'll take a non-loss any day! ;)

First game against Mike from the FraG gamers group. fun game bloody at the end. I had a chance but got overwhelmed and out classed by his Eldar. Victory Eldar!

Next up was Alex. He had a Daemons army. I was actually winning this game until a foolish blunder and a bit of cockyness got the best of me! Victory Daemons!

Last game was against Patrick and his Space Wolves. It was a back and forth game ending in a draw!

Draw!

All in all fun games were had and I'd certainly play all of these guys again! Now I've got models to paint!

Orks Inbound!

My good friend MTD has created an awesome "counts as" mad Dok Grotsnik. (GW's Version is pictured) I have offered to paint him and he has accepted! In addition to Mad dok, the Grots I have for him, I'll paint those at he same time.

I have to say, this is one of the best conversions for Mad Dok I have ever seen. When MTD gets all the little things finished on him, I'll get to work. Most  likely after Christmas.  I'll have pictures of him next week. he's gonna be so much fun to paint. I'll also update how my Rangers army is doing.


The tourney is this weekend and I have no painting done. Womp Womp! But I have lots to paint next week. I'll report after the tourney and I'll have some WIP pictures of my Space Marine Bikes!

Rangers, assemble! Or is that Avengers?

After a week of building, planning, and several X-ACTO cuts later, I finally have my Woodland Rangers Tournament army assembled. While it may not be tournament worthy,  that's what I'm playing with. Now comes the tough part... priming and painting. I am obviously not going to have this army painted by December 12th. I plan on using my Badger Air brush, and base coat the entire army.


I hate playing with bare plastic models. I have two models for the list I am using already painted. I wanted to have a whole unit but it's not feasible at this point. I'll update later with some pictures later today time permitting.


Stay tuned!
