A) how the hell did I miss the Wooden Rabbit in all its awesomeness and
B) 60% off for a damaged box full of awesome minis! Why is there nowhere in the UK that I can buy anything with a slight dent in it for ridiculous prices? Game stores of England, I will happily give you money for your broken stock, let me!

Damnit Theo, why did you go and buy up all the Alkemy triad boxes? I liked being able to buy 2-3 every time I made an order Now I will never be able to play 3000 point games of Ronin!

Well in my defense they were on that silly march madness sale, I asked them how many they had and they had 40. The next morning I stopped by again after deciding to buy 20 of them and they only had 13 left, so I bought what I could. So you can only blame me for 1/3 of the total items being bought

They had 5 more on the shelf in the dinged and dented section, I'm going to see if they'll match the price from the sale tomorrow and possibly pick them up too.

Damn, forgot about that sale... I wonder what I can talk myself into buying last second... Apparently not 3 more boxes of kung-fu infantry!

That Rabbit is awesome, Theo. It's cool enough to work as a centrepiece in KoW games and lots more to boot. But bloody hell I'm jealous when you flaunt all that MM loot. Nothing like that in the entire country here.

TA everyone for the comments.
Just back from working at church for a few hours and I think I'll get more work done on the rabbit. I think I have an Idea for the doors, and will try and fix the "hatchback" that is just loose on the rabbit. Also my whole pot of armypainter dark tone is not ruined . just like the top inch had solidified, I scooped that off this morning, so the rabbit might just be getting it's fr coat today too. Got to take a shower first and get everything ready for my other job though . I really need to find a new job so I can dump this 2 job thing.

So functioning hinge is in place.

Well the front and back hatches have been crafted, they still need to be strong toned, and then tied into place using some string (like a coconut tied to a Swallow ). I want to find a sheep model (or cheap plastic toy) and cut it in half using the back half as the fluffy cotton bunny tail on this and put the front half inside the back hatch so it looks like they crafted the trojan bunny around it. Not a real Monty Python embelishment, but I think it would fit the mood. Otherwise we have some craft stuffing for pillows that would work, but I like the sheep idea better.


a bit blurry on the figs, but they are just there for reference to size. Kids began spring break from school today, wife is off all next week with them, but she is at a women's retreat tonight, so there might be some zombie action happening before work tonight.

Is that African or European?

Good job Theo. Like the sheep idea.

It's North American, Doc. It'll kick serious Euro-weenie* butt. African too. Not sure about its favorite color though...

The trojan rabbit, or would it be better called a Camelot Coney, perfect. A truly cool scratch build.


*N.B. Peoples of the Anglo-Saxon Sphere are not really "European", are they? ( And why some are in the EU mystifies me, but what do I know; I'm in the same country as Texas )

Theo is a couple of states away, helluva a car ride for me

Well I almost went a couple days without buying anything. I even stopped looking at the miniaturemarket deal of the day.... until this morning.
http://www.miniaturemarket.com/cmnbsg001.html
CMoN's B-Sieged. I tried to late pledge for it, but I was a day late for the late pledge cut off. I almost bought it a few times since, but managed to keep from doing so. Alas my willpower broke with 40% off. 70 minis for $60. I don't like the hero figs, but I am envisioning a chaos dwarf (rules wise) KOW army with using rock people as the core troops. A guy had a Kickstarter a couple months back on rock guys, I wasn't going to spend money on that, but I will steal his idea. Plus I have an original pet rock band somewhere which could make an appearance.

Huh cool. Didn't even look twice at that Assuming it was a non minis board game. I'm doing pretty good skipping their deals except for 50% infinity. Abyssal dwarfs/rock elementals sounds cool.

Well, got time to do photos today.



So that's the last two of the Black plague characters and a bunch of survivors for the contemporary Zombicide, a few of the Zombivors to go with them.

15 year anniversary tomorrow, spending the day with my wife and son today, the girls are at a camp at school, we will be picking them up around 2 and have a concert tonight at church and 4 guests staying over after that, so likely not much getting done here. I might be able to break away and coat the other figures that I painted up over the last few weeks, but doubtful.

that chainsaw wielding fella in red ... his t- shirt is as crisp as it gets... that "H" (?) on his chest is one hell of a neat job!

and have fun with the damsel... and let the minis sit for a day... you never know when you need to point out you spent a whole day just for your wife...maybe when you need to defend why you had to buy these other awesome thousands of minis...

Congrats, Theo! Hope you both have a wonderful anniversary.

(and the Zombicide guys look great, as per usual!)

@Vik, Good to see you around and kicking. I hope the job is working out well for you. The "H" on his chest is actually sculpted on, so it was a pretty easy paint up.
@Azazelx, thanks, I need to get working on a lightbox, I realize tha since my Ipad went to that the pic qualities have died, but also moving my painting upstairs to the kitchen with mixed lighting has hurt as well.

The zombiecide stuff looks good Theo! I think I nearly have a full Battalion of soldiers to assemble and deploy, not counting their vehicles support mind you. I wonder how many total zombies you have assembled so far.

They come assembled, so I have lots, over 300(painted), and mine don't need sleep, food, or motivation to come eat your guys and bring you to our side

I do haz a "Nuke"

Sorry, but the nuke clears the whole board, mutual destruction, then I spawn again at end of turn, my win .

Dats cheatin'!!!

All is fair in global thermal nuclear war. Plus your guys are all infected anyway, so if they die they rise as my team.

Great concert at church tonight, plus ice cream .

Trick is not to die.

Nice catch on that AVP. Although I did read the box as 'The Aunt Begins '...

EDC

@evil dr cheese,Well, they are a bit buggy, and will pinch your cheeks really hard if you don't watch out .

Goofed up on a quote over in news and rumors, catching some slack for it. Oh well. Make a joke and it backfired. For my own good I should not go into that section of the forums. Costs me too much when I see an upcoming KS or a sale somewhere or another new game coming out.

People are kind of dicks in the N&R forums. Not as bad as the W40k stuff, but there's still a lot of dickishness. Mods seem to play favorites on certain topics and slight off topic segues get barked at, and sometimes there's radio silence from that end. It's a big forum, and all that, but can't help but notice a pattern here and there. I appreciate getting the news ASAP, but it's rarely worth putting up with the threads that deliver it.

Also isn't it flack? I thought slack is what they'd give you if they *weren't* bothering you... though this is from the guy who once thought people were saying "for all intensive purposes"...

I'm truly amazed that anyone would react negatively to your joke-- quote tags get missed all the darn time. Don't let it bother you too much.

The latest zombicide models look nice, but the Trojan Rabbit is fantastic.

I started to build my April challenge today. I think I've given March the boot.

SO For April I'm hoping to get a Kings of War 2000pt army Completed. Ambitious Yes!!!
But not too ambitious as it is an Ogre army using the models I picked up from B-Sieged and a Blood Rage Fire Giant.

So the Army looks mostly like this.

2 regiments of siege breakers (one has the quicksilver rapier) only 2 models per base.
4 regiments of shooters (one with the piercing arrow) only 2 models per base
2 hordes of boomers 6 models per base
1 boomer sergeant, with crystal pendant of retribution
1Grokagomok
1 Giant

27 models. Plus for the first time ever Theo does bases . I'm trying a simple lava base as all of these critters are borne of the firery core of the planet.

pics

Whole army on bases

Fire Giant with shooters behind him. bases are just thick cardstock base with cork for hardened lava outcropings.

Siege Breakers

Boomers

I like the look of that army. Interesting boomers. Looking forward to seeing lava bases.

That army looks brutal!

I'd just have some scorched grass and a bit of blackened earth for that sorta thing

@Cam, I love the idea of the little lizards shooting fire out of their mouths too .
@Shaso, I'm glad they look Brutal, as all the models have the "Brutal" attribute . It makes the opponent more apt to fail their morale checks.

The Fire Giant will need a little explaining as to how it survives, but I think some sort of magical armor keeps him from being toasted. Here's a better shot of it and a human sized model from Blood Rage.


@AOV, I thought about doing just that, but then I never bothered to try to do bases before. I've since watched a few tutorials, and I thought of going a little further with the bases.
