Tag Heaven - Scarface - Iguana - even more Infinity

Well, I was left to my own devices for another couple hours so I decided to hammer out my actual Scarface.  I made minor conversions to him because I am sick of seeing everything in Infinity look exactly the same.  I do with Corvus would make things a little more "kit" oriented so people could pose their models differently, but beggars can't be chooses and I love the game to much to complain any more than that.  Without further ado...

Iguana - Scarface conversion - More Infinity the Game

So it has been a while since my last post and I can honestly say I have been itching to get more Infinity stuff complete.  Playing with the guys from the O-12 podcast in the Paradiso campaign really got my juices flowing.  I have gotten far enough in the "XP tree" to get the free Merc so of course I chose the Iguana since I am playing QK.  It is the perfect choice since I decided to play with Scarface, a Janzaban link team, and a couple Gulam's.  The Iguana having the firepower AND the EVO repeater made it a no decision.  Anyway, here it is.

Infinity - Latest project

Just finished up a batch of Infinity models in time for the new champaign book that just released. I am really looking forward to a true champaign system for a really fun tabletop game. Lets all hope it lives up to the hype!

Loup-Garous

So it has been a long long time since my last post.  Since then I have traveled to CA 3 times, only one time for gaming.  I really have had no time to hobby for multiple months now.  Hell, 6th Ed 40k was still a rumor when last I put any real amount of paint down on a model.  Anyway, here is a unit of Loup-Garous that I wrapped up recently.  All said, I have a total of about 8-10 hours into them so I am pretty happy with the quality.  I am trying real hard to focus on hi-lights and light angles.  Interestingly this sped up the time frame on getting a unit complete by quite a bit.  Anyway, here they are...

Rocks for bases

Just finished this quick video on how to make rocks/slate for your bases.  Quick, easy, and cheap.  Let me know what you think.

Marneus Calgar

I haven't had a whole lot of time to do anything other than the podcast, primarchs, work, and of course spend time with the family lately.  As you can imagine that takes a up a LOT of time!  That being said one of the bootaz from 40k radio approached me to paint a model for him.  I had always wanted to paint Calgar, so this killed two birds with one stone so to speak.  I got to paint a killer model and it kept me from starting a whole Ultramarines army just for a few cool models.  Anyway, here is what I finished with.

Most of the blues were done with RMS paints.  The reds we VGC.  NMM Golds/Silver also RMS.  Feedback is always appreciated!

Lord of Iron

Have to say at this point this guy is one of my favorites. With all the gears and the heavy trim I really think Chiller hit the nail on the head with this one! Feel free to leave comments or contact me directly if you have interest!

Primarchs

So for those who may not have seen some of the posts on the forums that I haunt, here are some pics.  Enjoy!

A pic for scale and then some of the boys...

Busy busy busy

So it has been some time since I put a post up on my blog.  Thus making it not the best blog on the planet!  In fact, it is most likely closer to the worst to be honest.  Moving past that, here is what I have been up to. 

I became an "official" host for 40k radio, which has been fun, but takes about 4 hours to record, so there went 8 hours a month of hobby.  Not to mention that it is about a 30-45 minutes each way in drive time.  I will say it has been fun getting to know Kyle, Romeo, and Chad.  From the show Chad and I started working on a personal hobby challenge that I am beginning to think is too much!!!  All 18 Primarchs, from scratch!!!  Funny how projects sound so damn fun when you are sharing hobby talk over a beer.  We are now over half way through them and our hobby souls have been devoured. 

For those that want to know here is the process.  Chad, being the super creative guy he is, starts working on a guy.  He will shoot me some WIP pics, which I give my meager 2 cents on.  He does what he will with them and whalla, I get one delivered in all it's green stuff glory.  Once in my hands I take them apart, go back in and clean up any rough spots that need a fresh eye.  Lets face it, 10-20 hours of staring at the same guy makes you want to get him off of your desk!  I put fresh eyes on it and get it ready cast.  That is it.  Who would have thought my asking for a Russ would turn into this. 

Anyway, that and a little infinity has been using up all my hobby time for the last couple months.  Between that, work, and my loving family, all 112 hours a week of awake time is spoken for.  This weekend was great as I did get to take my wonderful daughter to see The Avengers.  Nothing like a 3 1/2 year old screaming "Get him HULK!!!"  It just plumb makes a daddy proud and manages to get my inner geek all pumped up.  Sorry for not putting more up, but life is life!

A game with the Chiller

Well,

Had a chance to get a game of 40k in against Chad this weekend. He s looking for some tips on how to play Eldar so I made a 1500 point list using models that Chad has in his collection. My list consisted of the following:

Eldrad
3 War Walkers (all scatter lasers)
2 squads of Dire avengers 1 w/ wave serpent
5 fire dragons in a Falcon
7 Warp Spiders
7 Harlequins w/ Shadow seer & Troupe master

I think that about covers it. We rolled up annihilation and standard deployment, so it was the most basic game of 40k ever. Basically kill as much as possible and then run like a pansy. In the end I had 5 kill points and he had 1. I have never fielded Eldrad when I lived in CA, but ahve 2 times since being here, and damn, he rocks. I think I may be inclined to run 2 farseers at 1850. Anyway, here are a few pics.

Raven Guard

So just spent a couple days with a friend in CA and had the chance to get a model painted. Kudos to FW for another great model, if not a little overpriced. Let me know what you think.

Games

Hey there, here are a couple pics of my latest game. Played against Chiller at 1k points. It was a close fought battle with the game coming down right to the wire with the Iron Warriors needing to make a break test in order to pull the draw. In the end the might of the Space Wolves was just to much and the sole survivor turned and fled! Comment if you like.
