W40K: IG Leman Russ Executioner Part 2

Here is Part 2 of my Leman Russ Executioner. As I stated earlier, I got impatient on the drying time of the "dip" and attempted to Matte spray the vehicle before 24 hours. Well that was a mistake. Some of the "dip" started to bubble on top and made the vehicle look awful. I ended up sanding some...

WFB: Wood Elves Glade Guard

Saturday night I was also able to complete my son's first unit of Glade Guard Archers. I have 3 Units of 10 that I also need to complete for him. His Wood Elves army is already painted with the older figures. We are slowly replacing those with the newer models. Some of the older models will stay...

WFB: Dark Elves Assembled (well almost)

So after Bugman's Bash this past Saturday, I got real itchy on wanting to get my Dark Elves assembled so I can finally give them a whirl. Low and behold, finished them all last night. I still have to place an order this weekend to get my 9 Harpies. That's all that is left for my 2250 pt list.Assembling the Hydra looked scary, but it actually was not too bad. I used a "rock" to help prop one of...

WFB: Dark Elves

Since I really love the way my Imperial Guard are looking using the "dip" method from "The Army Painter", I decided yesterday that I will also use this for my Dark Elves army. Over the past year I have been slowly purchasing the models for my army. I am just a Hydra and 7 Black Guard away from having a 2250 point list.In my list I will have 3x10 units of Warrior Crossbowmen. Started 2 of these...

Catching Up!

I know, I'm a bad blogger!!!!! November was not a total waste, I did get some things done.First lets start with my WFB Dwarfs. I did finish everything I wanted to for them in order to compete in the "Core Competency" (even the Miners). "Core Competency" was the weekend of 11/14-11/15 5 games over 2 days. All I can say was that I had a blast. I did not care if I won a game (which I didnt.......

The Army Painter: Part 2

So yesterday afternoon I decided to place my order with The War Store for some "The Army Painter" supplies so I can finally start working on my Imperial Guard. Once the "Brown Fur" primer is available I will also order that for my new Skaven Army.I ended up ordering the "Desert Yellow" Primer, "Strong Tone" Quick Shade, and "Anti Shine" Matte Varnish. As soon as it comes in I'll be priming the Imperial...

The Army Painter

While in Phoenix, AZ for the Wild West Shootout this past weekend I was able to meet up with some friends on Friday night at Empire Games during their Mercenary Market (flee market) and one of my friends mentioned to me a new product called "The Army Painter"."The Army Painter" is basically a "dipping"...

W40K: Wild West Shootout Day 2

Day 2 of the WWS 2009 has now come to the conclusion and I wanted to say that I had a blast this weekend. This is the first time I can say that I had 5 fun games. I hope all my opponent's can say the same.Well, I did not take the "Murphy's Luck" award for last place, I did manage to get a win in Game #4.Onto the recaps.Game 4: vs Brad N (Space Wolves)This mission was a "top secret" mission and was...

W40K: Wild West Shootout Day 1

WFB: Dwarf War Machines

Finished my Dwarf Canon last night along with 2 Organ Guns. One of the Organ Guns I just touched up a bit. I thought I'd be able to get to some of the Crew also, but did not so. I was able to get them primed. When I get back from our weekend trip to Dells, I'll start on them. Maybe get them at...

WFB: Play-test Core Comp List

Last night I got to play-test my Dwarf Core Comp list against my good friend Chris W. As always Chris gave me a good beat down. But it was good time. I do not mind losing anymore. A few years ago I changed my mentality of wargaming and I just play for fun, win or lose. It is all about throwing...

WFB: Dwarf Hammerers

So last night I finished my unit of Dwarf Hammerers. It's nowhere near any of my best work, but for rank-n-file figures, they look decent. To be able to finish these guys in two days is a big accomplishment for myself. I have not painted rank-n-file in over 3 years.Now I have a unit of (10) Miners...

WFB: Empire Warrior Priest

I thought I had posted a picture of my Empire Warrior Priest that I finished last April for AdeptiCon 2009, but I guess I didn't. I really enjoy painting the single character figures. It allows me to actually blend some paint together to achieve some nice highlights.I'm really happy on how he turned...

WFB: Dwarfs are based (Core Comp list)

I finished basing the Dwarfs for my Core Comp list this weekend. I haven't painted that much in a long time. Now its time to finish the unit of Hammerers, unit of Miners and Crew for the Organ Gun and one Bolt Thrower. I base coated the Hammerers last night. Hopefully I'll get those done before I head off the Phoenix for the "Wild West Shootout" in 10 days.Here is what I based (re-based this weekend)1...

Back in the saddle (so to speak)

Well it's been awhile since I wrote anything, let alone paint anything. I've painted a few items for my son's 40K Salamander's army, but nothing alot (just a couple Attack Bikes and a few Assault Marines).It's finally time to get back up on the horse (it's not like I was just sitting on the couch doing nothing, all my free time has been going to the gym. Since we got back from vacation in July,...

W40K: July Updates

As mentioned in the post below, I'm slowly getting out of my GW rut and playing some W40K games. I usually need a goal/upcoming event to get me motivated to paint again. So on August 15th, 2009 Adeptus Windy City will be starting an "AWC Tournament Series" (similar to the old days of Tournament Trackers but without the point standings) with a tournament held once a month using the Adepticon rules/scoring...

W40K: Planetstrike Has Arrived

Well, this has been long overdue. Sorry for the lack of updates. With a vacation to Houston at the end of June / beginning of July, and in a rut for GW games, not much was really done last month.I did manage to paint up my Soviet HQ and a platoon of Soviet T34/85 Tanks, other than that, really did not do any painting.I'm slowly coming out of my GW rut and did get a game of W40K in against my son...
