Go get some sticks and glue them to some cardboard. Should work for now.

WM spot on.


Game looks like it was close. Are you in a league? ( sorry if i missed that )

Yes Solar, I am in a casual escalation league. We get together once a month.

I have been working on some random hobby projects as of late. I based all of Moonpies nurgle. I have built my high elf chariot. A forest arrived here the other day, so I have been working on that mess. A unit of Kurnoth Hunters have also arrived. On my desk in front of me I have six dryads and one wych left to paint. The Dryads themselves are completed, there are just random little things left around them, like Owls and rocks on their bases etc. I think the hobby project that is on top of my list is my Ice Angel Fluff. I keep coming back to it in my head. It is so close to be completed, I feel obligated to finish it. I MUST FINISH IT. I feel Knightley silently demanding me to finish it.

I would love to finish it and then figure out a good way to get some Ice Angel Primaris marines into book three. That'd be easy enough. If I didn't have kids and a job and everything else going on in my life. Any ways, back to it. I should be tackling these projects and not wasting time talking to you guys. LOL.

Silently!? Well yes while I'm not vocal on my blog about it, I do open my subscription list with a small dot of hope there has been a new post each day

I am having a bit of trouble finding the right mind set to get started. I know what to write, it is all in my head, but every instance in which I attempt to write, I convince myself to do something else instead. I can not figure out why.

One such thing I have been working on instead is a bunch of trees and those Kurnoth Hunters. I have really enjoyed both kits. I went the bow route because I need some more fire power. You can not really have enough.


Next tough question, which color scheme do I use on the trees? White trunks with purple leaves? Brown trees with purple or green leaves? Dark brownish purple trunk with green leaves? Or something totally random and nothing like those? What are you thoughts?

In other news, GenCon 50 is nearly upon us. I have a full schedule. I took an entire week off to enjoy the con and then a few days to recuperate. If any of you guys are on twitter, look me up. It is as lot easier to post there what I am up to so check me out @ulasht Something tells me I will walk away with some amazing loot this year, mainly because I do every year.

One last thing, any one else super excited about Necromunda? I am super excited, not quite moonpie level excited, but excited.

Man I absolutely love the white and purple leaf Sylvaneth absolutely kickass scheme. That's my vote for the trees.

If you want to tie stuff together, you could do that as the majority scheme with one tree out of every three as brown trunk with purple leaves.

Perhaps throw in the odd electric blue leaf as you're going along.

Oh, and Necromunda looks stone-cold awesome

Thanks man! The trees have been primed so you may see some paint on them very soon. I have also been busy building other things, I picked up a few more things from my birthday the other day. Here is one of them.

This guy! Brokk Grungsson. It is such a cool model. I was also given the warhammer age of sigmar box set so I have a small khorne and stormcast force. Those have also been built.

While on vacation at GenCon I also picked up a couple games and some other models.

Here are some of the games from GenCon.

One of the games I am most excited about is called Deep Madness. I won some nice resin models after successfully winning a demo with some random other people. Warsenal was there as well and I picked up some neat pieces of terrain. In anticipation of Necromunda I bought a dumpster and some barrels and random little bits. My hobby back log is now overflowing. Time to get crackin. I should have the AOS generals handbook at the end of the week and then I'll be reworking my army. Any one have any favorites stormcast paint jobs? I am going to stay away from the over used gold and silver garbage. Post some favorites to give me some ideas. Thanks!

Good haul! Lava knights? Black, orange, brass bits?

That's alot of new board games! Nice haul buddy.

EDC

Dwarfy fella looks awesome, they really are cranking out some beautiful kits. Nice haul on the Gencon and belated Happy Birthday, and nice haul there too. Do all those games have minis or is there a mixture.

I do not think any of those games have minis. Plenty of meeples but no miniatures. That Deep Madness game would be the only exception.

Lava Knights? I like the idea but i would prefer to avoid having another mostly black army. Any other thoughts?

What about these guys?



ohh, or these guys?

I think they look good in black

They certainly do look good in black but I do not want to paint another black army. The green guys aren't bad. The teal, or sea foam, or whatever that other color is, isn't bad either. I think I need to keep exploring.

I love the stonecast guys that are here on dakka. They may be my current favorites but I do not think i could pull that off nearly as well as he can. I must keep looking.

In a small side note, did I tell you guys I got a new hot blade for cutting foam? Its great. Way better then the stupid hot wire tool I bought all those years ago. It worked, but it was super slow and tedious. The new knife, much better and WAY faster. It also gets much much much hotter then the wire. I may attempt to make a frozen waterfall to have a new starting point of my ice river. Thoughts?

Has anyone done them in marble!

Been thinking of getting a hot wand thingy. Have to let us know how it goes. Like the ice waterfall idea.

Hoping we can get some games of Necromunda in. Be nice to have an additional wardens game to battle at Adepticon.

First tree WIP picture. Needs a good wash or three then some highlights.

lovely looking tree.

Nice purchases too.

How about a photo of this new super knife??

@Gitsplitta You ask and you shall receive.


It is awesome.

Here is also some more WIP of the forest.




Next up we have some random Necromunda bits.

This was a WARSENAL purchase. Barrels, satellite dish, crates, fuel canisters, spools, and ammo canisters. I have been very impressed with their stuff thus far.

I had a small battle the other day. About 1k points death vs sylvaneth. I won pretty handily. My opponent is new to his army and ran at my piece meal, which allowed me to pile in on his guys. We still had a blast. It will be interesting to see how he changes his tactics for our next game.

Glad to see your getting some games in Ice! Looks like fun.

Thoughts on my Stormcast guy?

That looks amazing to me. Really nice colours, and scheme. Well painted.

The colors look fine, but there's nothing tying them together...

Thanks Cam!

Gitsplitta, I am not sure what you mean exactly?

Well, you have brown areas, and blue-green areas with no cross-over elements, just areas dominated by one or the other. It looks odd to me. The two colors have no relationship... not even a logical one. Hammer, sword, shield, helm... it's not a natural grouping. I'd either bring in some brown elements on the blue pieces and visa-versa... or make the helm (and possibly the bulk of the shield minus the picture of the hammer on it) brown to match the rest of the "armor" elements.

I guess the arrangement of colors doesn't seem to make any sense to me... that's the crux of it.

I agree with gits, there's no cross over. Maybe adding a third color to tie the parts of the mini together

What about this design?

I need to really set up a nice light box for some photos. I have completed a stormcast big hammer guy and am pretty close to finishing up my stormcast commander. Moon_pie came over and nearly completed the small sigmar temple in one go. It only needs some fine details to be called finished. I apparently need to invite him over for movies and painting more often.

Any ways, I am out for a few days. I hope every has safe travels and Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate it.

Happy Thanksgiving Ice. Give me best to Moon_pie next time you see him.

Thanks Git!

We are having a beautiful day here today so I grabbed a quick shot of my stormcast.


It is a phone pic so not the greatest quality but I think you can get a better idea of where I am going with these guys. I did to back and try to tie in the shield to the rest of the model and I added in a little more tangerine to compliment the turquoise and tan. The triple T color scheme is what I decided to go with. The drake stormcast guy is not far off from being completed. I need to dirty him up and of course do the base.
