I can't wait to see the finished costume, it'll look super cool I bet.
Also, looking forward to some more Savlar and other assorted goodness. 8th has been pretty nice to the Guard overall.

Included is a video of the Dealer hall opening day, the Will Call line the day BEFORE the convention and some other goodies (including a picture of my finished costume).
Enjoy.
Regularly scheduled IG shall resume shortly.

Its about time I finally finish my Burner Babes. Especially since one of them is a a birthday gift for a friend. For October 31st... of last year.
So the first thing I did was mix up a dark gray for the boots and slathered it on.
Next I mixed a dark green and applied it to the tank sleeve.
And the strap.
Then as I investigated the bases I saw little spots of white visible through it all. So I gave it a heavy coating of Agrax Earthshade.
Next the hose needed some color. A bit of gray made it match just a little better.
Did I mention that I'm doing all this twice??
Next I touched up the hair and the goggles. Making them both look a little less spotty.
Followed by the breather.
And followed it up with the goggle lenses and the buckles.
Also did some minor spot treatment here and there to fix my mistakes as I went.
Lookin' good, doll!
I actually finished them, BUT I forwent any photos until next week when I could set up my whitescreen. So you'll have to be patient.
Onto my newest addition to Risha's Sniper Team.
If I remember correctly she's a Bones explorer?? Not sure.
I like her. And in keep with her explorer outfit, I gave her brown colors for her geat and pith hat. (Pit hat? I dunno. Too lazy too google.)
Next I painted her gloves and gave her cheeks some color.
And to finish her off for the night, I gave her some hair color and added some dark brown to the trim of her coat.
Well, what do you all think?
Have I lost my touch?
As always questions, comments and criticism are always welcome!
Its great to be back!

I ordered myself a bunch of Eisenskern troops. They're having a pretty awesome sale for Labor Day so check them out if you want.
Also, I might have discovered Hero Forge. I also might have spent a lot of time making the rest of Brigg's sniper team for my counts as Ratlings.
So brace yourselves for that.

I apologize ahead of time for how dark some of these are. I didn't have my flash on for most and I didn't hold the mini like last week. Lessons learned for next week.
Painted the sniper's base and her rifle stock first. A lot of browns on this one.
Then I painted the belt across her chest and waist.
GAH! The light! It burns us, precious!
Next I felt like the ribbon on her helmet needed some color.
Something to break up all the browns.
Then I added some copper to her rifle.
Next came the ink washes.
Then I flocked the base.
That's where I left her for the evening.
Next step, I brought out my very thoughtful gift that my friend Mimo got me.
And it really REALLY looks good.
And my Burner Babes, one of which is LOOOOOOOOOONG overdue as a birthday gift. :(
That's all I've got for you guys this weekend.
I'll see you next week!

It really does.
All final photos of finished minis will be taken in it (since it takes a bit of set up).

Before Gencon last year I decided, "Hey Weapon! You know that GMing thing seems like a lot of fun. Wouldn't it be fun to run a game of this, that or the other thing?" and then I turned to the side and said "Yes it would Other Weapon. Yes it would."
So following that line of slightly off-kilter thinking, I managed to rope four friends into a game of MASKs that had been scheduled for Tuesday nights. The first session was a mess, and I learned a lot about GMing (mainly what NOT to do). Then we scheduled the second session for Sunday at 4.
That's where the delay comes in. Sunday is usually my day for working on my army and stuff of that nature. Well... needless to say I didn't. BUT! I had a lot of fun GMing the second game.
And now weekends are best for my players.
So every couple of weeks I most likely won't have an update as I will be GMing.
Just thought you guys might like to know.

Excellent that you have found a new path. GMing can be really rewarding, it can also take up more time than you think. In the meantime give us some pics when you can. Loving the last batch, really interesting to see something different.

Thanks Cam
I really want to find a local DnD group. I'm dying to play a character past level 3 (the highest I can achieve at GenCon). I want to get in on the ground floor of an epic campaign.

It sounds and feels like I've gargled boiling asphalt.
So I barely have an update for you this week.
It pretty much consists of "Look what I got for some point in the theoretical future!"
So, a loooooong while ago I mentioned that I picked these up. And now, here they are.
I am rather excited to build these guys.
A third Sentinel to complete the squad.
And Vic's con exclusive figure!
Way back when I bought this, I built the commissar. I think he looks good.
Perhaps he'll be Blevins from my not-quite-abandoned fic..
Man, look at all the bits!
Lastly, I took the taurox from the box...
And I sprayed it.
That's it. That's all I've got for you. See you next week.

I haven't had to RF,ED anyone yet. They've been pretty good. But I do punish them for their rash decisions. Last session one of them got a little to gung-ho and infiltrated the warehouse they were scoping out early. So I "detained" him and the rest had to rescue him.

Hey guys
I've got no update for you.
Been sick and coughing up blood. So.... yeah... no models this weekend.
Sorry.

Hello one and all!
I wanted to let you know that Sunday I wasn't able to get an update done because I was GMing my MASKs game.
And boy did my players throw me for a loop.
Additionally, it was my birthday yesterday, so I have a new set of goodies that has cut to the front of my painting line. But I'm sure you'll all approve.

"Hi there sports fans and welcome to another glorious pre-season of BLOOD BOWL! Tonight, members of every race from across the known world, all howling like banshees in anticipation of the upcoming season! Oh, and yes there are some banshees... Well, let's go over to your commentator for tonight, Jim Johnson, for a recap on the rules of the game before batle commences. Good evening, Jim!"
"Thank you, Bob! Well, good evening and boy, are you folks in for some great sporting entertainment this season! First of all though, for those of you at home who are unfamiliar with the rules, here's how the game is played.
"Blood Bowl is an epic conflict between two teams of heavily armed and quite insane warriors. Players pass, throw and run with the ball attempting to get it to the other end of the field, the end zone. Of course, the other team must try and stop them, and recover the ball for their side. If a team gets the ball over the line into the opponent's end zone it's called a touchdown; the team that scores the most touchdowns by the end of the match wins the game! Of course, it's not always as simple as that..."
"It sure isn't, Jim! Sometimes the easiest way to win a Blood Bowl match is simply to ensure the other team is ground into the turf before you! Like those poor saps that got between the ogre and the snack bar!"
"I saw that, Bob. It was like a slaughterhouse. I hear that when the dust had settled he was approached by no less than three different team managers."
"Wouldn't surprise me in the least. You can't let that kind of talent for carnage just walk away!"
"Bob I'm getting word that the Bad Bay Hackers are shaping up to be one heck of a team this year."
"I've heard that too, Jim. But not as good as the Orcland Raiders. Those big, green players are literally foaming at the mouth waiting for this season to start."
"Foaming though they may be, the Bad Bay Hackers have themselves a new thrower this season. A young man by the name of Dunk Hoffnung! Here's hoping he can pull himself together and really lead his team to victory."
"I hear you, Jim. But my focus is on the Hackers' heavy hitter, K'thragsh M'grash."
"He's big, he's mean and he represents the proud ogre people and our tradition for carnage and mayhem!"
"He certainly does, Bob. He certainly does. I can't wait to see what happens with the Hackers this season. We need to take a short break, but we'll be right back, after a word from Bludweiser."

"And we're back! Jim, it looks like the Bad Bay Hackers are really shaping up to be a great team this year."
"Couldn't agree more, Bob. But they're still only half ready. They're gonna need a lot more work before they're ready to take the field,"
"They're really gonna need to look for those gaps in the lines,"
"And do their best to fill them. Or the Orcland Raiders will tear through them like a ghoul through a funeral."
"Well, regardless of what might happen, they're shaping up to be a great team this season."

Just finished reading your whole blog. Took me about 4 daysto get through it all but I was hooked lol.
If I'm honest I probably wouldn't have been as engrossed if it wasnt for all the back story's you gave your many miniatures. You have a very good writing style and can't wait to read more. Sorry to hear you didn't get anyway with black library.
I will be waiting in anticipation to see how your blood bowl team comes out.

Thank you very much for the kind words! I know my painting and modeling isn't quite as impressive as say Cam's or Klaus', but I appreciate you sticking through it! It means the world to me.
Yes, I do was disheartened by the Black Library denial, especially seeing as how I would love to become a published writer, but, such is life.
