Subject: Graven's Shelf of Shame July 10th, an interval of completion: Biologus, Street Wars and PYG!
Thanks for the advice Graven, I’ve checked out Git’s P&M Blog and will be taking some of his great pointers and applying them to my own Blog.
155 unpainted minis?! That is totally doable. I can’t even make a rough estimate on my Vault of Shame yet...but I hope to get a realistic view in the next couple of weeks as I inventory things and add them to my to-do list.

Interested to note Black Orchid in there, constantly impressed by the range of characters that are represented.
Hmmm....I hear you on Bats, but even through the 70's he had a brooding look around the eyes I feel. A shade around them helps make the white lenses pop a touch. Only version that wouldn't benefit from similar treatment would be Adam West era.... All personal preferences of course.
Funnily enough West was my first Batman mini.
Black Orchid - yes, but there'z still a few classic roster gaps, notably Man-Bat, and classic evil magic users like Felix Faust or Morganna Le Fey. I like getting new/obscure characters and bundling them with fan favourites is smart. A bigger issue is that you get free agent saturation (just 2 "special" characters are allowed per team, usually) in BMG; there's only one hero team and, whilst lots of villain teams, there's serious paralysis of choice.

On me holidays in Majorca, very nice. What's a guy to do but chat to random folk reading white dwarf by the pool eh? Had a good blether, talked weathering powders, and scored his copy of WD when he left haven't seen a WD since the SoB codex issues. It's a pretty thick tome for £6, and that's a fair price given the state of print media industry right now (sorry, ever the teacher you can take the teacher out of the classroom, but you cannot get them to shut up...)
Whilst I might not buy it regularly, I'm actually surprised that I would consider buying it occasionally if there was stuff of interest. The painting step by steps are decent, the batreps illustrate the gameplay, and the showcase stuff is shiny. I don't really look at AOS stuff, for instance, and I hate the gw site, so looking at the Lord of Blights was interesting and gives me some pesky ideas also. I hadn't really twigged, either, that my colour scheme is eerily like that of the csm on the cover of The Lost and The Damned.
So an interesting read, as it turns out even if it is a glorified catalogue

Because I convert everything, this will be unconverted, not reposed, nothing more than some scratching or other damage - but mostly going to force myself to really go for it in the paint job.

You could have the blue fading and turning green in places, collecting dust and oozing goo from joints and cracks.
I agree with keeping it stock though, convert it too far and you've just built a plague marine and not a primaris painted as a plague marine.

Hola peeps
So I'm back, and gearing up for 3 weeks of fun with the kids - but I'll be sure to get done some proper geeking out too.
Starting as we mean to go on, getting the other Poxwalkers started:
And progress on plaguebearers:
Plus some modifications to the duplicates:
Hate milliput but no GS to hand. Turns out that milliput is Krieg Khaki coloured do love the old metal plaguebearers. Wish I had more than ten still, there's always the plastic kit I guess, which will give me bits to kitbash a couple extra (because multiples of 7!)
Not much else to show - anniversary today. 12 years with Mrs Graven. We don't do gifts, though had a nice lunch.
However, did by chance get this from Knight Models today:

Subject: Graven's Shelf of Shame July 23rd, plague plague plague... And more batness
Yeah. Need to decide which head though. Leaning towards crocodile Waylon rather than regular comic Waylon.
Busy doing prep work. Lots of cleaning, building and priming.
Started work on my next Dreadball team, Veer-myn team I'm calling Industrial Disease.
Team Captain
And a Jack (which will be the scheme for most)
Bases aren't set in stone yet, just marking the threat zone. Pretty happy though. The plan is to enslave #1 son to do the armour: bloodletter glaze, drybrush averland sunset, sponge VJ gunmetal view and drybrush edge yellow (whatever it's called today). Then I'll hazard stripe, block in the fur colours for him to wash, and do the lenses. That way he's learning techniques and I'll gradually give him more and more to do. They're going to be his team, so he gets some ownership on the paint job. Plus, these are good techniques to learn for his XWing ships.
Likewise, #2 is going to drybrush the neobots team light grey, and I'll block the armour in blue (his choice of colour) for Blue Streak, which will be his new team.
And yes, that's BTAS, Raven, Uncle Dudley and Foxy Cleo primed also. Forge Fathers (Squats), Zees (Space Apes), cheerleaders and other staff all in just now, halfway done.
It's funny, it doesn't feel like I've done that much, but actually not bad.
Hospital tomorrow :( I've had a persistent wracking cough for 6 weeks, so because I'm over 40 I have to get checked for lung cancer. Fun. It won't be anything, it's just a precaution and I'm glad of it, but still. Dr reckons it's just a naso-pharyngeal infection, she just wants to be safe, so I'm full of steroids, antibiotics and antihistamines. God bless public healthcare.

Remaining dreadball teams, coaching assistants etc all primed and the commentators washed and built (real actual resin... yuck ) - fine but had to hold in a clamp to dry.

Spoiler:
Really happy with how this guy's turned out. Lots of use of technical paints, powders and a lot of blending/highlighting techniques on the "regular" side of him to get him quite GW-standard scheme looking. The reverse is much more me
Got a great mail drop from Mantic, with the new Nameless starter (space-cthulhoids) and Outbreak rules for Deadzone:
We have giant crabs, tiny critters and everything in between. 18 models in a mix of resin and plastic, for a ridiculously reasonable £25. Aesthetically, I love the Nameless. I freely admit AoS with its crazy Sea Elf critters made me smile, but somehow it's far more... logical here. I can't quite explain why but they just fit sci-fi setting better, somehow. Maybe I read too much Aquaman, but these models pulse with character. Also, I plan on using one of the little Scuttlers for a pitch invasion in Dreadball at some point. The models are well cast, with few appreciable mould lines on either the plastic or the resin. The single piece plastics are dynamic enough, and the material feels solid, not at all rubbery. In game terms, well, I'm new to this so, really, what do I know? From my first impressions, they seem like a very focused army, really suited to the new player (I know I keep saying that, but it’s true): to be honest, I have previously found Deadzone tricky to get my head round, whereas the Nameless just seem to make sense to me. Clearly defined battlefield roles, evocative sculpts, and a range of tactics: exactly what I’m looking for to get into a game.
Also a look at their new resin big critters for KoW Abyssal Chroneas (demon of fire and shadow): Winged Slasher (wyvern with orc rider) Now I have had some minor issues with Mantic resin in the past, some warping - nothing that boiling water and a clamp wouldn't fix, and not Forgeworld levels of horror, but still - but I'm pleased to say the resin pieces are really neat and shapely (oooh), minimal flash or pitting. Everything is very clean, logical and lines up well with minimal filling in order. I honestly can't say which model I like more. On the one hand the Abyssal is glorious, treading the fine line between distinctively characterful and universal; an exciting prospect to paint, above all. The Slasher on the other hand is just a great, iconic piece that would sit proudly at the centre of any greenskin horde. I think that the Slasher just edges it out for me, but only just; something about it speaks to the wee lad who played Orcs 25+ years ago, I think.
Also got the jumbo Terrain crate, Dungeon Depths

That's a lot of fantasy scatter.
Enjoying the summer. Had a great, day-long game of DCU with the boys yesterday. 50 levels (not quite a maximum size game, which is 60, but still their biggest yet) with Rifts (closing world-eating magic portals) as the scenario Heroes (Kid#1): Raven, Cyborg, Impulse (Kid Flash), Arsenal (new Green Arrow), Ravager, Starfire, plus our custom Beast Boy chicken token. Villains (Kid#2): Sinestro, Enchantress, Killer Croc, Reverse Flash (Zoom), Deathstroke. Lovely terrain thanks to lovely Camk. Lots of fun, villains just edged it at the end. Highlights included Ravager dealing with her daddy issues and Sinestro throwing Killer Croc at Starfire for the win!
So, on to August. Dreadball minis, and too many Batmen Later Graven

Cheers mate. DC is a great game, a good balance of fluff and crunch, and you never need more than half a dozen models to play. With the new resins that much cheaper, it's a good to time to get in Basically, pick your favourite characters, and go from there. It's pretty balanced, no-one breaks the game (apart from Bat-Mite, but he's a promo anyway), points are well balanced (and they've tweaked the ones that aren't) and nothing's unstoppable because there's counters to pretty much everything (Ravager, who's neutral, can negate abilities, Dr Fate can do it for heroes, and there's an evil character who can too). My next challenge is to build a proper Parademon invasion force, now I have Darkseid, Steppenwolf and 6 parademons (3 resin, 3 metal) - parademons have the Horde rule which means that they're non-unique. The kids don't know it yet but my next big game planned with them is Apokolips Rising!
