Awesome stuff Gitz, the terrain and fully painted armies should make for a gorgeous looking tourney. Have you found out how many players are showing up?

Beautiful terrain Gits! very striking and almost a work of art in them-self

Just another reason to try to get to Adepticon the stalls are particularly stunning.

My new Bushido "Pirates of the Caribbean" themed army. Kind of a mash-up of the crews from the Black Pearl, the Flying Dutchman and a character from the animated movie (Treasure Planet). They're displayed on the awesome Junk that Cam made for me (removed the sail for ease of photography) and will be sent of to Nerdfest for painting while I try and finish up my bakemono.

That terrain is all fantastic. Looks really atmospheric.

Looking forward to seeing that crew all done too!

Thanks Fifty! Have another couple for you. These aren't pirates... more like a domesticated oni and his drinking buddy.

Samurai pirates and alcoholic demons. What a time to be alive.

Here's the Adepticon 2020 wrap-up video. While TOing the tournament is a lot of work for me... one look at this video will prove how dependent I am on the generosity and hard work of others. If you run into these folks in-person or on-line... say "thanks". If it's one of the businesses that supported us, throw them a little patronage if you can.

Good work on the many things.

Sorry Adepticon got cancelled was looking forward to seeing all the great tables you had planned. It was a very nice video I had no idea there were so many people involved. You should be set for next year this will give you more time to game now.

Thanks Dr. H!

@Yorkright: Thanks bud. Yeah... I think next year should be relatively sane.


I've joined the "pile of shame" campaign. Here's what I'll be working on until it's done. Be using some of my new-found free time to hammer away at this, hopefully sooner rather than later.




Also went on a building frenzy. These are all the Bushido figures that I'm inclined to keep at the moment. The rest of my bakemono and a couple of kami.

Excellent self isolation stock pile of shame!

You glued the stuff to those carts? What's going to get sent flying when a hero chases a villain through the market street and crashes through the carts?

I did DS... but don't worry... there is a TON of scatter terrain lying around in bags. I just can help myself... keep buying the stuff!

Looks like your going to busy the next few weeks, and here I thought Bushido was a more inexpensive game to play. ;-P

It is... just not for me.

A couple of recent videos I forgot to post...

I took a bunch of photos during the construction of the two "cards"... I can re-post if anyone's interested.

I also finally started working on setting up a proper photo tent, lights and my good camera. So if I do a decent job of painting something, at least I'll be able to take a good pic of it.

Liking both those pieces. The cavern-in-a-tree is cool, great work from a nice find. And love the thought you put into the story behind how it came about. Nicely done sir!

Thanks MT!

Here are the in-process pics for the "cavern hole".

Very nice.

That's extremely quirky and interesting. Hope you and yours are keeping well.

Thanks guys, appreciate it. So far, so good. Wife is with her dad, I'm with the boys at home. Nobody is sick.

Really enjoying the batreps, and the last one with the 2 terrain pieces. Some really great ideas Gitz!

Here's the totem pole series, in order of the "desecration"

Original Ainu Totems:


God-head:


Archery Target:


Chains:


Trophies (weapons):


Trophies (skulls):


Disapproval of Nature Spirit:


Final Result:

I really love this. Those Ainu are some nasty customers!

Lovely work, great job in tying the details back to a story.

Totem looks super cool!

Approval of Arakasi... Spirit?

Thanks for the compliments guys, it was a fun project.

I'm going to post one more pic of the totem pole. Been struggling with trying to get a new photo set up arranged and trying to get my old digital SLR set up properly. Just want to see how this looks on-line. I think it's a marked improvement over the last pic. Especially if you go to the trouble of zooming in.

Much nicer. I wonder if it would be worth doing something to make the god-head face stand out more? Not sure if you can make the black... blacker... but maybe some highlights around the eyes and mouth? (in a lighter green perhaps)
