New 40k Battle Report Coming Soon
Just a couple pics as teaser for the 40K game I filmed on Saturday and am just about done editing. A super fun, causal game against Grey Knights.
Drago Painting Tutorial 2 – Weathering Drago
The long awaited part two is now live.
For those who missed part one…
On the painting table – Fenris 1
I included Les’ Fenris models as part of my MuseOnMinis pledge for February, and thought it would be an interesting model to do a video painting tutorial with as well.
But in the meantime, I’ll post pictures of what’s been done as I go.
1. Priming
Models primed with Vallejo’s Acrylic Polyurethane Primer. It was a bit of a challenge as I’ve been having some issues with my airbrush, so the coverage wasn’t as good as I’d like. Plus, I can’t recall if the models were washed, which can be problematic. I guess time will tell.
2. Flesh coat
I started with a coat of P3’s Khardic Flesh thinned with homemade airbrush thinner at a ratio of 1:2 of Paint to Thinner.

2013 Painting Commitments – 1
So, for those who don’t know me very well, I’ve been playing, well, collecting Games Workshop games for quite some time now… starting with Space Hulk in 1988. I have bought a fair amount of stuff over the years, and I’m ashamed to admit, most has gone unpainted.
Flash forward 25 years (Holy Crap! 25 years?!?) and I’ve gotten a bit better at getting stuff painted, with almost half of my Orks with at least some paint on them. But my first 40k army (Eldar) has been mostly ignored for a very, very long time.
Enter the Independent Characters 2013 Hobby Progress Challenge.
To quickly summarize, the challenge is to fully paint 1,850pts of 40k models before November 30, 2013 for the chance to win prizes. Plus you have a fully painted 1,850pt army when you’re done. Since I wanted to paint my Eldar anyways, I thought why not participate in the challenge for a chance to win something.
You can follow my thread in the IC forums here.
I started a little late, so making the January commitment has a little more difficult than I planned, as I got a little distracted by Muse On Minis WarMachine / Hordes painting commitment competition (see below). I wanted to send more time on these Dire Avengers, but it didn’t happen.
Good thing my February commitment is a second squad, so I can fix up the first group at the same time.
+++
So I have more Trollbloods and Cygnar to paint for WarMachine / Hordes, and I noticed that Muse On Minis was having their own version of a painting challenge, so I thought, why not, I’m painting the stuff anyways, might as well try to win something.
Now I started small with my MoM pledge, only a couple models, which after reading the fine print, only netted me 1 pt for completing, but it’s a start.
I’m expanding my commitment in February, including a couple minis for Les.
The MoM forum for tracking commitments is a little less organized, as they group everyone in one thread, but you can check it out here.

I’ll keep updating here as the year goes on, and if you painting stuff anyways, join up! Any chance to win prizes for something you are going to do anyways is a bonus.
