Or “Why hasn’t there been any new videos?!?”
So, don’t you hate when life gets in the way of your hobby time? Between job hunting, interviews and getting a new job things have been a little busy.
So here’s what I have had time for over the last couple weeks…
Shoota Boyz
I picked up a full squad of used 30 shoota boyz from a great store for second hand minis, Worlds Collide in Oshawa. I’ve managed to pick up all sorts used stuff over the years, and none of it ever has the mold lines removed, but for 50 cent a boy, I can’t complain to much. So the squad has been cleaned up and based, all ready to be primed.
Gretchin
Skin and basing done on the grots for the Lobbas, just need to finish the highlights on the cloth.
Eldar Dire Avengers
After skipping a couple months of the Independent Characters Hobby Progress Challenge, I’m aiming to paint this squad up, and HOPEFULLY we create a video as well (time permitting).
Oh, and I’m 90% done editing my 40K BatRep from late March, Orks vs Tyranids.
Here’s to a more productive next few weeks.
The basic Lobba video tutorial is done.
You can download the planz here ==> DHD-Lobba_plans_v1
If I was a better blogger, I would have remember to take more photos and updated this page a little better…
I also created a ‘quick’ tactics video as a companion to the tutorial. I originally was going to only have one video, but once the tutorial got close to 20 minutes, I didn’t think adding another 5-6 minutes of me yammering was the best choice.
*Edit*
A couple pics of the completed work.
After to listening to several podcasts and reading articles on the interwebs, I’ve come to the realization that Orky big Guns are actually useful now thanks to the release of 6th edition. With artillery crew receiving the toughness of their weapons (T7 Grots!!), these units now have significant staying power. Plus the Lobba can ‘snipe’ targets withe indirect fire rule.
The thought of nine S5 blast templates firing every turn makes me a happy WarBoss, but paying $35.75 CDN a piece does not. So my plan is to scratch build as many as I can using the following materials…
I’ll be putting together a series of videos that cover the steps of building together your own lobbas, starting with a basic kit, then a more advanced version. I will also be updating the blog with in-progress shots as thinks get done.

Sneak peek of my current test model.
Just noticed that my YouTube channel has hit 50,000 views. Thanks for letting me waste so much of all your time.
Took a little longer to edit than I’d hope, but here it is… enjoy…
The long awaited part two is now live.
For those who missed part one…
