Updates and thoughts

While Age of Sigmar is out I must remind you all that Kings of War is on it's Second Edition and has seemingly changed Warhammer to split it's fan base of players.   See the AoS Batrep here.


Kings of War RATMEN!!! Finally, a solution to the ones I've been spraypainting to death.  Now that I have a small army I just need to increase the Army to fit KoW.  Spikey Bits has a great article and the link to KoW rules list.


While I enjoy seeing anyone else who loves to read.  I instantly became snobbish and thought that this collection was certainly not enough to brag about.  However, I'm proud to think others still hold true to hardcopies and not the fake online reader material.  Check out the post on Rabbits in My Basement.


Overall it's been a great time away from the Blog.  I hope that I can post a few thoughts about the books I've been able to read.  I'll think about posting a few pictures of my library.  I have the luxury of having a wonderful wife who understands the thirst for knowledge and understanding.  See you soon.  Stay the course.

2nd Edition Kings of War on Kickstarter

Make a wish and it shall be so!  I'm so excited for this game to continue to grow.  The very fact I was able to understand the rules with the first edition PDF meant something.  Heck, maybe it was the fact that the ease of rules during game play make it easy to have quick games.  BIG FAN!  Click here for the 2nd Edition Kick Starter. Again, just a huge fan of the smoothness of play and simplicity in the rules.

Spikey Rat Pack: Pale Skin Tutorial

Very awesome looking and in-depth look at how to make that all illusive pale skin. See it here at : spiky rat pack.

Vampire counts close

Folks I've been picking these out for a while. I've still got to put the grass on and then move to varnish. I'm happy with the results even if they took longer than expected.  The red cape on the second picture turned out really well.  I decided to soften the highlight by using Fortress Gray and not Skull White. The third picture with the Blood Dragon BSB and his Gold NMM really turned out well too. I believe it's my most favorite part of the miniature.  In the last picture, the Strigoi has removable wings with a pin through it.  I still would like to try out magnets but the budget won't allow me yet.  These models were also the first time I tried Tutofig.com and Steel NMM.  I believe the blades look great for the tabletop and I can't wait to do battle with a few characters now in my games.

Learn, Spray, Love

Since I've been going along this whole three word title, see below for what it all means.

Learn:  Never knew that Ragnar was who he was.  Should have done more investigation besides just watching the series.  Read some more at Little Lead Heroes.

Spray:  Really loved relearning this basic technique from Faeit 212.

Love:  I've always held a special place for ACW and Baron's Blog definitely is just another great discussion of wonderful miniatures and a cool game.
