Stolen shamelessly, but somewhat appropriate…

 

Okay it’s been too long and I never got off my butt and finished showing the stuff I picked up from Templecon, but we’re going to struggle and work through that as soon as i can get this stuff done.  And I’m working on it, so apologies to all for the lengthy absence again.

I recently had the privilege of receiving the Lost Hemisphere Blog’s review copy of Father Lucant, the Divinity Architect to assemble and paint, and let me tell you what a joy it was.

Without much ado and any further delay, let’s start the blog articles showing you what was in those lovely blisters and boxes acquired from TempleCon 2014!

 

First up is one I think a lot of people were waiting for, the Iron Mother herself, Directrix and her Exponent Servitors.  This was a heavy blister containing all the pieces you will need to construct your own Deathbot Warcaster Vessel and her floating hoverbots.

 

Chock full of robot-y goodness with none of the distracting nougat.

Converging on tables!

So my goal, as stated last week, was to get my shiny new Deathbot Battle Box assembled, primed and painted in time to get some games at the battle box level in Thursday night at Heroes World.  After enlisting the help of a friend and mentor, as well as the dastardly enabler who got me into this whole tabletop miniatures fiasco in the first place, to help me paint my shiny new toys I managed over the course of the evenings Monday through Wednesday to get paint on models, and to succeed at my goal!

Not a whole lot to say right now, I am buried under a big pile of loot from Lock & Load 2013 that our buddy Boots brought back from Seattle for me.  Aside from the June release of the Stormblade Captain for my beloved Cygnar, I have a huge heaping helping of new models from the Convergence of Cyriss with which to entertain myself.

More painting with Ragnarok, posted by me because teaching a painter how to sign into a blog and post his own article is proving to be a challenge!! – NB

Saturday the 25th of May, a not so local (but still very awesome) hobby shop, The Hobby Kingdom,  ran their annual Most Extreme Annihilation Challenge event (which is loads of fun!). This event awards style points for many things like amazing army themes (including the option to come in costume to match your themed army), or extra points for an epic way of slaying an opponent’s Warbeast/Warjack. The style points I was most interested in were the painting points! Nothing like the anticipation of a fun event to get one out of a 6 month painting funk, like most hobbyists I go through painting phases. And I usually need a push to get out of a funk phase. Thanks to the MEAC2013 I was inspired to paint a Warlock I have wanted to get to for a long time! Kaya the Moonhunter and her trusted companion Laris. This blog will take us on a journey of how I got the pair of beautiful models painted.

Just a quick disclaimer before we get going. I have not yet updated my paint collection to the new GW colours so all the paint “names” I will be using in this blog will all be the old and outdated names. Please refer to this page for the GW paint name conversion chart:

CITADEL CONVERSION CHART

So let’s get started ….

With Laris:
After cleaning and assembling Laris I primed him using GW Chaos Black Primer.

None Asked, and None Given

Because you need to know what I think about this.

 

No Quarter, that is.  The magazine.  What else could I possibly mean?

I wanted to launch our review series of articles with a product I feel rather privileged to read and receive regularly; Privateer Press’ No Quarter bi-monthly magazine.  As a subscriber and collector of the magazine I feel I am uniquely qualified to write a review of the product that goes beyond an overview of the current issue and talks about the magazine in terms of it’s value as a regular supplemental product for the company’s Warmachine, Hordes, IKRPG, Level 7 [Escape] and Bodgers line of products.  Because really what we have is a high quality product that can be used to enhance your knowledge and experience with the games mentioned.

Oh and brace yourselves, this is the longest article to date here on the blog.  I hope you find it of value and not too painful of a read.

Guest blog time folks, as we have a contribution blog from a good friend and local player of mine who wanted to show off his talents.  Sit back and enjoy the article and be sure to give our guest some feedback on his article. – NB

My name is Chadi Faraj. I’ve never written a blog before but I figured I’d give it a shot since I can get a bit hysterical about the games I play.

A little history about myself; I’ve been playing table top miniature games, assembling models and painting for about 18 years now and have loved every second of it!

The reason I’m writing this article is that I felt like showing off some of the work I have been doing lately, maybe impart some of the tricks I’ve learned over the years, and more importantly learn new tricks from any comments and cool tip you guys may have for me.

So here goes nothing….. (Go easy on him kids, he’s fragile! – NB)
