Skitarii Review

We went and recorded a review of the Skitarii book. Rather quick and painless (for us). Take a listen! :)

Hey, over here!

Flock and Awe, Bugman's Edition

Yeah, I slacked off while on vacation. However, I didnt really go quiet.

One of the highlights of the trip was meeting my Flock and Awe co-hosts at Bugmans, and playing a quick game of Cards Against Humanity. And yes. We recorded it.

Fair warning, this episode is a bit further down the tracks than our usual offering, but we did have fun recording it. ;)

Top Ten - 13 Dec 13

1. Junior reviews StyleX hobby brushes and paint stirrers for us.
2. Some nicely painted and converted Tzeentchian Chaos Warriors by Johan.
3. I think we will see Johnny's army on the table when pigs fly. Oh, wait...
4. Tim talks about various ways to thin your paints. Good read.
5. The Bear takes a swing at the Prime Axiom. YOU OWE ME, BEAR!
6. Purple Beastmen? What is this heresy? Oh, right, Chaos. Nice work from Waltz.
7. Im of the opinion that you can learn from failed experiments as well as successful. Here is one from Sam.
8. Grudzien shows his well done Kroot. Painted well done, not cooked, that is...
9. Here is Drew's Bloodbowl Minotaur, all pretty in pink.
10. Lastly, ThirdEyeNuke's Slaaneshi Daemon Prince. Wish there was more than one pic...

Another week of links!

Top Ten 06Dec13

1. Some dead sexy Wraithguard by Cagn.
2. Cool looking Dark Eldar tentacle beasts from Wobbly Model Syndrome.
3. A look "under the hood", conversion work on some Sons of Horus before Eye of Error paints them.
4. John tells us how he scratch built some candles for his scenery.
5. Brian has some Ariadna Loup-Garous that look really good.
6. Like those Kolinsky-Sables? Caleb helps you rethink licking your bristles...
7. Rafal has one of Scibor's "Knights" done very nicely.
8. Tyler has a nice Blight Drone, and some conversions Im looking forward to seeing painted.
9. We can all thank TJ for showing us Demidov's work, and making us consider giving up painting forever.
10. Ángel continues to inspire, this time its Mijhail from the Anima Tactics range.

So, apparently I am back. Not sure how that happened... As you might notice, I changed up how I number the posts, as I didnt want to have to start adding version numbers as well.

The Rest of the Story #14

Good Morning!

So, here I am, drinking rum way too early in the morning and enjoying my ears being violated by the likes of Mushroomhead, and I decided I should work on The Rest of the Story!

Ok, to be honest, I finished some work on my Red Scorpions, and it is too early for my to plaster my nose against the window on the door, waiting on my Forge World order (Yes I am still bitter, its been two weeks, the Atlantic isnt THAT big!).

I decided that it was time again to do a "why didnt this make the Top Ten?" post. Just a reminder that these are not really "leftovers" or anything bad, they are great posts that caught my attention in the first place. They were just nudged out of running by something that had that something extra.

http://42ndcadian.blogspot.com/2010/10/i-hate-right-hands-work-done-squad-303.html

Very nice work, these were somewhere between "desktop photos", and "I have to cut SOMETHING".

http://spellscape.blogspot.com/2010/10/tyranid-prime.html

This one was easy, I chose a different post by the same person. I preferred the REALLY old Space Marine.

http://paint-plastic.blogspot.com/2010/10/catching-up.html

Very nice work, but I think I am one of a few people who dont get all excited by glow effects.

http://galaxyinflames.blogspot.com/2010/10/soul-reapers-new-basing-theme.html

These guys were chosen because it gave me ideas for basing, decided to cut them until I see them painted.

http://kirbysblog-ic.blogspot.com/2010/10/email-in-pics-of-my-blood-rodeo.html

From what I can see, these look good, but the pics are somewhat lacking. Need to get zoomed in some more next time!

http://www.cultofkhaine.com/2010/10/death-to-high-elves.html

This one was a victim of "gotta cut something".

http://40kbattlereports.blogspot.com/2010/10/first-post-my-chaplain.html

I think 95% of this model is awesome. The skull helmet, however, kills it for me.

http://losthemisphere.com/blog/?p=9405

If this was all four casters in one post, it would have been in, but then it would have been a LOOOONG post...

http://42ndcadian.blogspot.com/2010/10/heavier-heavy-support.html

Here is a victim of Too Many Space Marines!

http://saimhann.blogspot.com/2010/10/sargent-telion-tactics.html

This caught my eye, not entirely sure why. Stuff to think about.

http://flipsminiatures.blogspot.com/2010/10/sisters-of-battle-test-colours.html

Easy to see why this was cut, only a single picture!

http://nicolaichristofferhansen.blogspot.com/2010/10/chaos-rhino.html

Same here. Nice rhino, single pic of it.

http://kirbysblog-ic.blogspot.com/2010/10/warhammer-fantasy-special-olympics.html

This was cut for "Political Correctness". Im not really a competitive player, but I also am not a fan of outside imposed limits.

http://goblinminimart.com/2010/10/09/blood-for-the-blood-god/

Victim of "OH GOD I HAVE TO CUT HOW MANY?!?!"

http://truddenia.blogspot.com/2010/10/caestus-air-ram-part-iii.html

This won points for making the Caestus look less like crap then the FW site, but lost out because the Caestus still isnt that great of a model.

http://heresy-legions.blogspot.com/2010/10/blood-pact-sentinel-pt1.html

What do you mean Ive already posted fifteen links Id cut from this weeks Top Ten?

http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/2010/10/viking-terrain.html

Very nice and simple terrain. In the end, a hair too simple.

http://nordlandyfenris.blogspot.com/2010/10/murdering-jaws-finished.html

Nice looking, but pics seem too far off and too dark.

http://agentlemansones.blogspot.com/2010/10/blood-bowl.html

I think this was one of the first cut, cuz there was lotses and lotses of posts to deal with.

http://heresy-legions.blogspot.com/2010/10/blood-pact-banner-bearer.html

Another victim of "most of the pics are too dark and too far". Maybe I am too picky?

So there you have it... I hope this helps inspire people to even greater heights, and makes me work even harder for the Top Ten!

The Rest of the Story #10

So, I had this almost ready to go yesterday morning, but had a bit of a mishap on my drive home. That mishap being the timing belt in my car crapped out, taking the engine with it. Long story short, I have a paperweight with three years of payments left on it. Things are in the works to sort stuff out, so I shouldnt have to sell a kidney... ;)

Anyways, the list you all have been waiting for!

Links and Stuff

Lets see.. First some link sharing. I like to think I am among the first to promote healthy competition, so here is the newest contender in the Top "N" lists, from Brent and Lauby over at House of Paincakes.

Weekly Top X

They are not sticking to a particular number, just what seems to fit. I also REALLY like their banter format, so much nicer then my brief blurbs.

Also up, Inquisitor Lord Aki has been putting together a "40k News, Rumors, and Stuff You Shouldn't Miss" list. I think he has put a few of them out, but dont quote me on that...

40k News, Rumors, and Stuff You Shouldn't Miss

Go. Read. Enjoy. COMMENT! (Trust me, comments make doing the next list so much easier!)

Lets see, rambling stuff... Went to the Glen Burnie Battle Bunker over the weekend, stood around for three hours while everyone else gamed, couldnt find anyone who "didnt bring an army", or "is waiting for someone else", and finally got bored and left. Kinda left me in a 40k funk. Bleh. Havnt pulled out my Red Scorpions since, but kinda toying with an idea for some Night Lords from before or during the Heresy, using the Blood Angels codex. We will see.

On the Fantasy side, Ive not really touched my Empire in a while, much to the surprise of no one who knows me. Those new High Elves are looking pretty sexy however, especially the Phoenix Guard. My biggest complaint about the models before was how they looked like they were wearing miniskirts. Not an issue any longer!

Other news: Ive burnt out my 5th or 6th video card on my desktop, and rather then throwing money at it like before, I am saying screw it. With how often this has happened, we are thinking its either a power supply issue, or a motherboard issue. One is a cheap fix, the other not, but I would have to get another video card on top of it either way. So, I am sharing computers with the Wife. This promises to be an adventure!

Oh, TRotS? Probably tomorrow. Maybe.

The Rest of the Story #5

So, figured Id do a little something different with this week's TRotS. I am gonna take a look at these posts and give a little look into why or why not they made this list and not the Top Ten. I think that the first thing to point out is that they made the short list to begin with because they caught my attention in a good way, plain and simple. Well, ok, one was out of favoritism, but it still was pretty good!

http://plasticfishonline.blogspot.com/2010/07/raptor-chapter-updates.html
Very nice work, liked the glow effect of the plasma cannons, the face paint on the sergeant was the only thing I didnt care for.

http://bloodandblades.blogspot.com/2010/07/howling-griffons-part-2.html
Not sure why I passed on this one, think it may have been to cut down the number of Space Marine posts.

http://paintyourtoys.blogspot.com/2010/07/mordheim-rebuilt-pt-10.html
I remember this being one of the last ones cut, simply because something had to go.

http://the25mmwarrior.blogspot.com/2010/07/confessions-of-crippled-gamer.html
This caught my eye originally because Ive got my own problems and can relate. Didnt think it was appropriate material for the Top Ten, but still worth passing on.

http://strictlyaverage.blogspot.com/2010/07/master-manipulator-every-store-needs_27.html
This one was flagged simply because I love seeing when people promote their friends over getting a mention on the Top Ten. I almost added this link as an extra to the Top Ten.

http://strictlyaverage.blogspot.com/2010/07/not-so-super-secret-eldar-team.html
This one was hard to cut. In fact it was one of those I almost extended to 12 for this week.

http://beyestudio.blogspot.com/2010/07/knight-defilerbrass-scorpion.html
Cool model, but I think I was gonna wait to see a painted version.

http://www.thepaintingshopworld.com/2010/07/28/how-tall-is-a-40k-space-marine/
Im pretty sure this would be of interest to anyone who like True Scale Space Marines, but my eyes glazed over somewhere in there and it got cut.

http://lucky88th.blogspot.com/2010/07/time-for-unfeasably-large-chainsaw.html
This one fell firmly into the "well, I have to cut SOMETHING"...

http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2010/07/deathwing-standard-bearer-added.html
Ron doesnt want me putting his stuff on the Top Ten. Makes sense to me, seeing as you can just scroll down a bit and see it. Doesnt mean I cant mark it and add it here, right? ;)

http://www.thepaintingshopworld.com/2010/07/30/imperial-guard-cadian-hq-command-squad/
I liked these guys, but for some reason it just didnt seem as strong a contender as others.

http://indy40k.blogspot.com/2010/08/tutorial-white-templars.html
I really like this 151 Chapters project. This post originally got marked for a decent way to paint white armor.

http://40khobbyblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/tutorial-casting-your-own-resin-bases.html
I want to learn to make my own resin bases someday, but I think I have posted tutorials like this several times in the past.

http://bigleesminipaintingblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/tabletop-gaming-scale-guide.html
This one was a decent guide to figuring out if that toy tank/plane/whatever would work with the scale of your models.

http://kirbysblog-ic.blogspot.com/2010/08/mistake-mondays-part-2-gathering-storm.html
Always nice to get reminders on what people tend to forget. Dropped because I felt like focusing more on hobby rather then game.

http://four-color-figures.blogspot.com/2010/08/battletech-bit-of-layering.html
I liked how these looked for the most part, but fell into the "gotta cut something" pile.

http://www.whmpg.com/?p=270
I think it was the bases that threw me off this one...

http://www.whmpg.com/?p=276
I really like this look at Lysander, but I usually skip on posts that are auction advertisements.

http://wastelandminiatures.blogspot.com/2010/08/fantasy-marauder-horsemen.html
Dark photos, bane of all picture posters!

http://masteroftheforge.com/2010/07/30/scout-squad/
I think this one would have made it if there were more pictures, I like how they looked.

http://rynnsguardhq.blogspot.com/2010/07/base-coating-models-with-snow.html
This was another "yeah, I have posted something like this several times before".

http://www.imperiusdominatus.com/2010/07/tank-shock.html
Again, felt like focusing on hobby rather then game.

http://www.nockergeek.net/2010/07/28/xv-88-broadsides-re-deployed/
Another victim of the "gotta cut something" pile.

http://kirbysblog-ic.blogspot.com/2010/07/tyranid-army-pictures-including.html
No real good and close pics, interesting colors from what I can tell.

That was fun, but dont expect this each week, just something I felt like doing tonight!

The Rest of the Story #4

The Tuesday Top Ten is my baby. Having said that, sometimes someone should call me in to CPS, as I dont always treat it with the respect it always deserves. ;)

TRotS? That is more of the family pet. It is happy for any attention I deign to give it.

My plan (for now) is to link the previous week's TRotS in the Top Ten. It gives people a chance to poke me and say "Hey, didnt you see this post?" and "Shouldnt this have at least merited consideration?".

I dont see everything, and my posting my "short list" lets others know that they need to send me a link so I dont miss them in the future.

Anyways, this week shows how finicky I can be, the short list was very short to begin with.
