Hahah I know that feeling, if you look at my new push list writing it out hasn't helped in the slightest, so much to paint, so little time.

Little to report on the modeling front other then I finished putting some ork bikers together. Pictures will be in the near future.

On a side note, GAME OF THRONES SPOILER DO NOT CLICK UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN SEASON 4 EPISODE 2.

Okay, finally some WIP pictures. Ready? HERE WE GO!

First some orks.





Next we have a picture of display board from Adepticon 2014.


Now, after winter struck the land it turned into.


Lastly, I've been going through old boxes and recycling / throwing things away. In one closet I found an OLD piece of terrain that is rather dear to my heart. It is merely rocks glued onto a piece of thin cardboard and with some torn up Styrofoam. This may sound lame and sentimental but this piece of terrain was built when Necromunda came out, whenever that was. At the time it was my favorite piece. We made up rules for the toxic sludge and had hundreds of battles around it. I can't tell you how many people fell into it from an over hanging walk way. Of all the necromunda terrain I created over the years we were playing, this is the only one I kept. I think this little piece of my childhood needs to be repurposed. I'm not sure how to do it but I think it needs to see one more battle.


Any one have any suggestions on the best way to save this piece?

That board got blizzard'd up nicely!

I dunno about that terrain. Nothing a bit of pain and some water effects can't fix. And maybe more sand and shale to clean up the edges? You certainly have the skills for it.

Thanks Chemical. I think I need to leave it out in front of me for a couple of weeks so I can stare at it until a good solid plan comes to mind. While I'm in the terrain mood I think there may be some ruins in my near future. RUINS!

It may be my nostalgia too, but I think you just keep it as is. Its sheer amateurishness reminds me of where we came from. Also, looking at it does make me cringe... I know that several poor Cawdor House members just trying to spread the Emperor's Light and maybe make some scratch received horrible scars and old battle wounds from that ugly pool of filth. Love-hate relationship with that thing..

Well I can actually check one thing off my list. I updated my Ice Angel Terminators. Actually, I'm not even sure if this was on my list of things to do. Here's a little back story! Knightley was sending me a terminator and he stated that he'd like to paint it like an Ice Angel. With that in mind he looked at my terminators and painted a fantastic terminator for me. However, I was never fully satisfied with the way I had painted my own terminators so I gave Knightley a suggestion for the one he was working on. A few days later I got a picture of a fantastic terminator with a blue helmet that worked great. Once I had received his terminator in the mail I then went about updating some of my completed terminators.


The gentleman in the back row by himself is the terminator that Knightley sent me. Soon he will be on his own icy base.

I'd like a close up shot of the terminators

Wow, seeing the group of them with the updated blue faces really makes them stand out. Very good choice there Ice!

Thanks guys. I'll have to see what i can do for a close up Solar. I'm close to finishing the conversion of my librarian. Then I think some more terminators are on the docket.

we'll you are a terminator guy in real life. So only fitting!

In my Ice Angel collection I think I have around 30 old pewter terminators. They are all painted, but not very well. They are really terrible models compared to the newer ones AND they are on the wrong size base now. What should I do with them? Thoughts?

I have the same. I don't have plans to field them at the moment... maybe re-paint them for GMS trades so they don't go to waste?

If you are gonna use them, then keep them on the 25mm base and glue that to a 40mm, that way they are slightly raised and about the same height as a new plastic terminator.

I had to do that with my old metal terminator rune priest, and metal terminator libby.

I have 10 of the pewter Space Wolf Terminators and like you, I think they look awful next to the newer plastics, so I can't ever see me using them. Except as fodder for an apocalypse game.

Either that or as test models for new paint schemes?

1) Put them all in a sock
2) Rob a bank with said sock
3) ????
4) Profit

5) ... go to jail
6) Enjoy being some ***** **** wife! ( men Only )
7) Miss all the updates on Git's blog..

Or..

1) You could use them a statuary for Marine building terrain
2) Channel your inner Graven… should provide any number of options..

Shouldn't be too hard to get them off the old bases, right?

I'd be tempted to strip them and put them on ebay, personally... not sure about terminators but people tend to pay decent amounts for old metals in general.

Yeah those old metal models are a waste... The statuary idea is a nice idea, but it probably won't use more than 3-4 models... Except if you make a whole cathedral with them ?

Stripping & selling might be a nice idea too...

Good luck !

I love the old models, they're full of character.

The old termies have as much character as a person taking a duke...cause that's what it looks like they're doing.

Strip and sell or just use them when we play a 20,000 point apocalypse game, base size be damned.

Your table is on the front page.

Neat!

Speaking of my table. We need to have a game on it! Any one free Memorial day?

Memorial Day is going to smash my face in. We did over 2000 people last year and this year we have X-Men and Godzilla, so I'm looking at a good ol' teeth kickin'.

I have the Rules and Psychic Cards preordered at Game Preserve and they are giving double points for buying both. I also REALLY want that Occult Mysteries book for PF.

Once I get the rules digested we absolutely have to get a game in, no ifs ands or buts.

Did you order the fancy limited edition rule set? When will you be able to pick them up?

Oh, I almost forgot. I've been slowly working on painting the last of my Tiger Claw tanks. After that I'm going to sell them all. They've been good to me but they do not see ANY use except at Adepticon and frankly, I don't want to play them at Adepticon any more, lol. I'll have to take lots of army pictures when they're all done. I ended up with more points then I expected.

Oh my, really ?!? I loved your Tiger Claws !!!

On a side note, what date is Memorial Day ? June 6th ?

Selling it?! Oh nos, then you are fo sho not planning a return trip to Adepticon!

Thanks Yggs. I've really enjoyed them but I don't plan on getting any more and I'd rather send them some place where they may get some use. That, and I'm hoping to use the funds for some other modelling projects.

I'll definitely be back at Adepticon just not with my Tiger Claws.

Joining team Cheesey xenos scum? Or rocking the Ice Angels in singles?

Maybe after 2 decades I'll get him into WHFB...

Just getting regular books. Maybe I would consider getting the special edition if I was finished fixing my tooth, had a new couch, paid of my student loans, or basically did anything else with my money. At least I am out of Adeptidept.

Neither. I'll probably rock the Angels in the team tournament but not for next year maybe 2016. That'll give me plenty of time to update their paint jobs.
