What's on my painting table?

... Quite a bit actually and I haven't got around to updating my blog :( So what have I got up to in the past few weeks hobby wise?

First up, the plan was to try do a troll a week. I finished a second and then got side tracked painting up some GW fences and building some GW size forests (will post pics of the forests later)

Seems weird to buy something you can make yourself but those fences do look super cool. In addition I got hold of a new Savage shaman model that I started.

Then, I ended up attending a 1 day tournament (last week) so I had to paint up 14 new archers, which side tracked me further :). I finished 5 fully and got 9 others to the washed stage, so know have to get back to highlights and details.

Most recently I acquired a new hellblaster to replace the old metal one I have. (or to field 2 when I want to be douche)

Jeez I have too much on and need to finish some of these!!

Also, you can see my totally lacklustre and frustrating performance from last weekend. Game 1 is up on youtube (see below)

Thanks for reading, and I'll try get back to some weekly updates this week

First paint job on my trolls

I finished up a troll this weekend (well at least mostly) to see how the red/yellow scheme will look and what paint colours to use on it.

I had to grab the War Paint yellow that matches the yellow primer I used, but as usual, it's total crap (as most yellows tend to be). I found mixing a little citadel white in made it useable.

Let me know what you think. I'm hoping they stand out nice alongside the green savages.

Winter Carnage 2014

This past weekend I attended a 2 day Warhammer event called Winter Carnage, held @ Good Games in Sydney.

I've posted the first battle report up, more to follow, and stop reading now if you don't want to see my results.



In the end I only won 2 out of 5 which wasn't great, finishing 14/22.

However, the best news was winning the best painted army prize ($100) which was totally unexpected and awesome. Deeply honored.

It was a great 2 days and hope to get back there in a few months for their next one.

Those filthy nurgle daemons invade the bad lands!!

A host of nurgle daemons take on my Orcs.

Weekend Wrap-up #3

Well, the weekend is coming to a close here and it was a great family weekend. So not as much painting as usual, which was fine, as I only planned on finishing 10 Night Goblins.

But that is done and my small bunker is ready for the table

This week, again, I'm going to take it pretty easy due to work and a busy Warhammer week the next week so budgeting time between hobby and life :)

I'm going to try get 3 more Savage Orcs done and a test figure of a new Wood Elf blood bowl team I recently purchased.

I also received my Karl Franz bitz in the mail so at some stage, will need to get him up ready for a game

Stay tuned for pics

My Empire takes on a Bretonnian force

Got another game in this past Tuesday. This time my Empire (with some SCGT comp changes to test) against a Bretonnian force.

It's on youtube, enjoy

Weekend Wrap-up #2

Past weeks target was ...

1. Finish first 10 of 20 Night Goblins. These just need highlighting and some small detail work
2. Finish last 2 crew of 2nd boar chariot

Some BFSP Night Goblins painted

Well I achieved that and also my 2nd rock lobber arrived so I sprang into painting action and got that finished too.

The overall quality on my Orc army is decent table top standard but that's about it. I'm just impatient to get this on the table :)

A second rock lobber arrives to double the odds of hitting

I'm particularly happy that all my Chaff and Artillery pieces are finished. Now I just need to finish the actual foot troops and Trolls. Specifically that is

1. 27 Savage Orcs to finish the Horde of 40
2. 6-8 Trolls (Depending on list)
3. 10 more NGs
4. Strip and repaint 1-2 Night Goblin Shamans and/or paint a new Savage Orc Shaman on foot

This weeks target is

1. Finish last 10 of 20 Night Goblins to finish my small bunker unit off.

I think I'll take the painting easy this week. Have another battle coming up Tuesday night so hopefully you'll see a battle report this week between my Empire and a Bretonnian army. Stay tuned on my youtube channel for updates.

So how are your painting goals going?
