As I’m involved with a number of different projects at the moment, I wanted to have one centralized place to track everything.
So look for updates on a regular basis going forward for HomeMachine, Four New Gamers podcast, my involvement on the Scrumcast podcast, Battle For Breath Charity Tournament and Raffle, and anything else I get wrapped up in to.
More soon…
My year of the Trollbloods starts with a quick and dirty unboxing video filmed at my desk without any edits.
A modest return to BatReps with a Battle Box battle with Trollbloods vs Retribution.
Scenario: Mangled Metal / Tooth & Claw
It’s official, 2015 is going to be MY year of the Trollbloods.
After being somewhat disappointed with the new 40k Orks release, (and the thought / dread of having to paint 100+ models to be even remotely competitive), I began to think about my Trollbloods that had been sitting on my shelf, ignored for quite some time.
It was around this time that my buddy at my FLGS mentioned that there was a new Warmachine / Hordes community starting up in the fall, and that they were going to have a Journeyman League. This opportunity seemed too good to pass up, so I got the battle box content together and made it out to a few games.
These games, (and the witty banter in the Facebook group) has really helped solidify my interest in the game again, and has inspired me to get back to creating content for my YouTube channel, my blog, and all my other social media outlets.
So my plan/resolution for 2015 is as follows:
Video BatReps: I’ve recorded my first WM:H BatRep in over a year last week. Granted it was a battle box game, but as I’m still a little rusty on both playing and film, it makes sense. I plan to get in games with as many of the KW community members as possible, then move on to 35 and 50 point games, either starring my Trollbloods, or whoever wants a game filmed.
Video Tutorials: I’ve started to film a couple tutorials simultaneously as they are somewhat similar. I’m following the Marge Simpsons method of teaching, as long as I stay one lesson a head, I’ll be ok. I’m taking a slightly different approach to the tutorials, taking a page from the GW tutorials, but not locking people into using a specific brand of paint or brushes. Plus I’m going to try a couple duel method painting tutorials, one with airbrush and paintbrush, then the same model, paintbrush only,since not everyone has an airbrush.
Blog (deffheaddice.com): Weekly updates (Sunday nights), links to videos, and any lengthier articles (i.e. Tactics, list building, reviews, etc.)
tumblr (deffheaddice): My over-share outlet. Daily(ish) updates on the activities I’m up to, including sneak peaks of upcoming videos.
Should be an interesting year.
So what are you planning on playing this year?
Why build your fancy new Ork Mek Gun only one way when you can magnetize it and build it all four!
I have to admit this one took me a little (ok, a lot) longer than expected, mostly because I hadn’t done any video editing in over a year, and I had to reinstall all my software, fonts, etc. Plus the first edit ended up being over 50 minutes long, so it took some time to get it down to the 18 minutes it is now.
Well, I never left, but I’m posting again. Mostly thanks to GW’s latest release, Da Orks!!
The new Ork release was all I needed to the push the Eldar to the back burner and get me to start up another Waaagh! I dug through my boxes and shelves of green skins to figure out exactly what I had (hey they reproduce via spores, there could have been more than when I last checked). After spreading out everything on my daughter;s sewing table (too much stuff for my painting table) I’ve come to the conclusion that I have very, very few fully painted minis. Maybe 10-15 figures of the 6000+ points of Orks I own. Take a look…
So I have a few thing to get to over the next 6-12 months,
Once the new Codex is finally here (June 28th) I can plan out what I want play and plan out a painting schedule.
I also will be returning to producing hobby videos, the first off will be a How To Magentize the Ork Mek Gunz.
More soon… I promise…
After struggling with linking my YouTube account to my corresponding Google+ account, messing with multiple web cameras and generally being too tired to be even trying a live video, I’ve through in the towel for tonight.
I’ll post the link for tomorrow night’s hangout about 30 minutes before it starts.
The guys over at www.miniwargaming.com just announced the winners of their 2013 Video Contest. Check it out.
