Nightwings

 

Aeronautica Imperialis, is the new game around the office. Well, maybe not the office. It's the new game between my friend and me now. He arrived from Norway, and said "Greg! Look at this new awesome game! Yes! Planes! MUST PLAY! PLAY NOW! MUST NOW PLAY!" So, what did I do? I dumped money into airplanes! So here I have 3 eldar planes. There were 4, but you see, this monster by the name of ghost swiped one from the skies and devoured it! Ok, maybe not devoured, more like bat it around the house, removed its wings and tail fins, and was in the process of trying to get the elf inside but I stopped him before that. So, we have three.

Teh Monkeh!

In a DND campaign I'm participating in, with that blue lizard named Kroxigan, most the other people in the group started picking up models as well. Afterall, you get experience for having a model! However, something strange happened. It was kinda nice, an honour in a way? To understand where I come from, well, I browse a lot of art work in a day and see what people get "commissions" for. To be honest, I don't EVER feel my work is worth the money. Don't take that as me saying what I do is "terrible" or "bad." I certainly don't think what I can do isn't amazing! It is, truly, but I never feel it's payment worthy. Therefore, I get really terrified when someone plops down a model and money to paint something! I mean... I really hope I delivered.

Smooth Riding

The next group is done, and I enjoyed painting these guys. Will I use them in an army? I don't know honestly, I may, but I'll need a whole lot more than 3 guys if I intend to do that. Maybe for my 500 point games, maybe, but I feel they're a little wasted. However, they're looking pretty sweet I think!

Buildings, finally.

I finished. Or more accurately, I've gotten so sick and tired of these things that I'm saying I'm done now even though they aren't at top notch. I think the next time I do any other "building" project, I'm going to make sure I build it in pieces that are easier to paint and I'm not going to spend as much time as I have on these guys to make them at least look ok. I say these guys, I suppose it's really just one, but ya. I'm so tired.

An Adventure in Terrain

And so I take an adventure into terrain building. This actually wasn't all that hard, and I'm pretty excited about how it came out. Not to shabby really! I have new ideas for sandbags, you'll see those improve as I continue to build minor elements like this. These pieces of terrain will be used in matches at the office hopefully. Simple elements to the battle field we'll be fighting across with our painted army men. Or well, at least mine will be painted!

Speed Paint!

This is Kroxigan. He's a lizard creature I'm playing in a D&D campaign. I haven't gotten to use him much yet, but I mean, he's a dragon wizard! So therefore, he's awesome inherently. After just one game, I've already bought myself a model and painted him up for the group game that happens every other Tuesday. I think he came out pretty cool! I suppose next, I'll need to paint myself a space wolf assault marine for the other game I play in. I'm in way to many games D=

Eldar Group Complete

So I finished the four of them. They were quite a challenge, each and every one of them. Robes are a new thing for me, though I'm getting better with each and every attempt. Apparently you pick up a style with some colors I guess. For my reds, my style seems to be firey or drastic color changes. This is at least what the games workshop guy told me, so I tried something different. Or more, what he told me to try out.
