GenCon-bound!

Hey everybody, just a heads up that this week there will not be any new posts, due to GenCon 2018. I'm in a whirlwind of prep and packing in order to be able to leave on Wednesday morning for Indy.

If you're going, stop by the Ninja Division's booth space (booth #2627), I'll be there most of the weekend helping out with things and judging the Golden Kobold.

Speaking of the Golden Kobold, I can't wait to see everyone's entries this year. Last year was an excellent showing and I hope this year is just as good if not better!

See you there!

Wizardry in Progress 7/25/18

Much progress happened this week as I was able to finish Kommander Sorscha and build the base for Takata. There's still much to do in preparation for GenCon, but the end of the tunnel is nearing!

Let's take a look!

Miniature Monday: Kommander Sorscha Bust


As you may remember, if you've been reading for awhile, or following on Twitter or Instagram, I went to Illinois a few weeks back and hit up the Midwest Miniature Madness convention. While there, I painted up a few different things including a Primaris Intercessor and C'thulhu from Black Heart Models.

Well, most of the weekend, I was painting this lady right here. The bust of Kommander Sorscha from Privateer Press. She was a blast to work on and I recorded the entire process for Let's Paint too. But for now, we're going to take a look at here now that she's all finished!

Let's Paint: Death Company Chaplain: Part Two

We're not two thirds of the way through the Death Company Chaplain Let's Paint series!

In this one, I finish up the main body of the model, leaving just the base and jump pack left to go. He's coming along nicely.

Wizardry in Progress 7/18/18

The summer lull continues, as I've had a lot of non-hobby related things happening lately. But I've been slowly making progress on things. After a weekend of house painting, I was able to get some more work done on Takata and started prepping a plinth for Kommander Sorcha.

Let's Paint: Death Company Chaplain: Part One

It's time for a new project and today we are getting a start on the Death Company Chaplain that I painted a few months ago.

In this one, I get a solid start on the armor and his helmet.

Enjoy!

Wizardry in Progress 7/11/18

It's been a slow few weeks on the hobby front ever since I got back from Midwest Miniature Madness in June. Mainly due to vacationing and holidays.

This week saw only one night of hobby and that was only a little bit of assembly time on Sunday and a couple hours of paint time on Monday night, in which I started working on Takata from MidKnight Heroes for the Golden Kobold at GenCon.

Miniature Monday: Skitarii Rangers


Long ago, when I first started collecting Skitarii, I grew weary of the shooting pose used for the Transauranic Arquebus. My first attempt to switch it up came in the form of the crouching sniper in my first ranger squad.

I knew that I wanted to run two squads of snipers, and that I would modify the other two snipers to switch up the poses from the aiming pose. But what to do?

Wizardry in Progress 7/5/18

As yesterday was Independence Day and I was busy all day, I didn't get a chance to do this week's Wizardry in Progress. So here it is, a day late. But, better late than never I suppose.

This week I started playing around with my new Leviathan Dreadnought, which arrived while I was gone to Illinois for Midwest Miniature Madness. He's been an interesting build and he's packed to the gills with magnets!

The only other thing to happen this week was an unpacking of my painting equipment and getting my desk set back up. It's been a busy few weeks, but I'm hyped to get back to work in my dedicated studio space.

Golden Kobold 2!



Hey everyone, the Golden Kobold is returning to GenCon! Last year's competition was an astounding success and we had many more entries than we expected. There were a few hiccups and lessons learned, but they served to make things better.

I'll be returning to GenCon this year and helping to judge entrants once again. I'll be at the Ninja Division booth most of the weekend, accepting entries, talking hobby and painting chibis! It should be a good time!

Miniature Monday: Death Company Dreadnought


This big fella is part of an army commission that I am doing for a friend of mine. He's been painted for awhile now, but I have just now gotten nice pictures of him. He, along with the Death Company Chaplain, are the first two models from the commission to be finished.

I have a soft spot for painting Dreadnoughts and this guy was fun to work in. It helped me hone my skill at painting black some more and solidified my technique. 

Let's take a look!
