I had a game of X-Wing yesterday using a formation I learned from watching a youtube video of the world championship tournament earlier that day helped loads.- The TIE Fighters used a particular formation that I copied with my X-Wings and ended up massively saving the day for me.




I seriously love just how clever this game actually is.

Assembled Bane Thrall UA and Lord Tartarus.
The latter guy is a pain to build.

Played a game of Pike & shot today, myself and another player whom also fields the soldeiers of Carl Gustav of Sweden, faced of against the lapdogs of the Pope aka Catolics. It was to put it midly a bloody game, when the dust and smoke cleared it ended with a draw as both sides had exausted their troops on the biting cold fields.
but it was a great game and my fellow players where great to kill of some hours with. Looking forwards to the next game already

Got some good games of Judge Dredd in today with my new MDf scenary most enjoyable

now to write some rules from my 40k figures, Stargate figures, Alien/Predator figures..............

Working on my Cenobite Talos conversions. Here's a WIP of the Pinhead one.

Man it takes a lot longer to glue stuff together with filing bits of smoothing and trimming then I remember :O

Working on my Inquisitorial Chimera.

Finishing off my Raven Guard Scout Squad, then I'll be starting on my January entry for the Hobbit/LotR Painting Challenge, 10 Easterling Warriors with attached banner and Captain.

Gonna make my Niece a Michelangelo ninja turtles shirt for her birthday, then I'm going to look into painting some Infinity Moderators and maybe priming my pulp alley league.

Still working on Drop Pods. Making the parts in bulk. I have enough card parts to build 6 so far. Today, I am markinng and cutting out the foam core parts to complete them.

I'm doing some more X-wing studying.

As I said a seriously clever game

Yeah a lot of subtlety was implanted into that game, but it still works pretty well if you wanna scoot little space ships around and chuck dice. Seems like it works pretty well on both levels.

I shall have to endeavor to find some local-ish opponents, add that to the list of things to do in 2015 lol. Maybe even run some demos at the local shop on boardgame night to see if I can get any converts

Finished the drilling for my Pinhead Talos.

Looking forward to seeing those finished

Tidied up my games room a bit. Working on painting my Taloi.

Well I finished that shirt, primed those models, and got one of them painted. I've got another set to be finished pretty soon, and while that one has been drying I've gotten a third pretty close to done as well.

I think I'm going to make one of those 'get 365 models done in a year' things this year. Maybe not 365.. we'll see. Maybe. One and two pretty far along isn't bad for the first day at least.

Finishing up my Scion Command Squad and Taurox.






P&M thread in sig

Today I went and got myself Atlantik Wall book for Flames Of War, a good read and seems to be decently balanced too. Will be testing it out in a few days time,

i have been working on my guard armor. i have a fun collection of tanks now. I have a Leman Russ Vanquisher, a Leman Russ Executioner, a Thunderer siege tank, a Destroyer tank hunter, a Leman Russ Demolisher, 3 Hellhounds, 3 Leman Russ Battle Tanks and 3 Chimera's. and a Wyvern under construction still.

@ae1989

Those Scion Command Squad look fantastic, really love the green and brass colour scheme. Also are those the default
heads or did you replace them?


Oh and hobby-wise for me, eh sculpting stuff as usual and cutting apart Mantic ogres in a vain attempt to convert them
into better poses.

And I painted my first ever mini, at Mantic ogre, I'll try and get a pic up.

Restoring a MKI Baal Predator back to his Emporer's Service

Starting on JG26 for Robotech.

Finishing touches on JG52 to

Realised I had the whole White Council as-yet unpainted, so now Galadriel and Elrond are primed and Saruman is half way done. As for Gandalf, I already have 2 done, so don't need another. They're Fellowship-era sculpts, but will be getting BotFA colour schemes.

Finished the head for my pinhead conversion.

Played a game with my BA vs IG.
Army list somewhere posted here.
Maelstrom mission, 1850 pts.
Won by 6:2.

In between marking a giant stack of tests, I have assembled 24 corsairs of umbar.

Man, I really love how easy it is to assemble the LOTR monopose. Maybe I'm weird, but I just love the monopose figures. Assembly is my least favourite part of the entire hobby, so I really appreciate having good looking plastic monopose with some variety.

^Interesting! Assembling varied and multipart hard plastic kits is one of my favorite things about the hobby. Always neat to see what different people get out of it though

I'm currently compiling my ToDoOrDie Version 2015 list. I made one back when I started my painting blog and it helped keep me motivated so I'm bringing it back. In style this time, I've declared an absurd goal of 365 minis by the end of the year! The list will be set up in blocks and I'm leaving myself free to swap things out as interest peaks or wanes, or if I get new stuff or find stuff I had forgotten. Lordy I think I'm in over my head on this one!

Nearly finished my Nurgle chariot pulled by a rot fly. It's a conversion of the GW one, with a plaguebearer as a driver and one of the AoW champions as the other warrior.

Just need to do some final touching up then he's done.

Started work on my Dracosan, managed to get it primed and get a first layer of Mechanicus Standard Grey on the hull.
