On GW Website: Battle In The Vines 2012- Hosted by the Cessnock Slayers

For those of you who like Battlefleet Gothic (like I do) and the idea of travel through space to other solar systems and planets (or even beyond the gallaxy once we figure out how to access the Warp… hehe), this demonstration vid is just the g-up we need! It brings back memories of so many movies where star ship crews access visual information about celestial objects, navagation pathways and other spacial phenomena. Yeeeehaaah!!! I gotz ta git me one a doze!

‘K, so everyone gets bored sometimes… I’m at that “painting 150 guardsmen armour plates adeptus ‘grey is just eatz*!” so boredom has set it once again. I’m all huffed about the progress, it’s just hit the doldrums (ie hum-drum). I’m putting together a terrain slideshow of what I’m planning to finish by mid-year, so will post it up soon.

What am I workin’ on?

1. Imperial Guard troops, grey plates, fenris grey fatigues with khaki overcoat.

2. Fly-over terrain

3. Painting up my cities of death terrain and craters

4. Thinking about hill terrain to make

If all goes well, I’ll have  terrain board to show off soon, a grey n black wasteland type and a lush green Fantasy board.

* If you want to know what the term eatz means, you can:

a. Look it up (its a kiwi word, ref: New Zealand)

b. Get a bro to let ya know!

c. Don’t be stink**!

** If you want to know what the term stink means, you can:

a. reference a. above

b. reference b. above

c. Don’t be eatz*!

d. Rinse and repeat

I’ve come across a Gallipoli diorama before at the Australian Military Museum in Canberra, but this representation is excellent! Thanks to Beasts of War for sharing the footage on their channel.

Most of us will know about using cotton wool placed on tanks when they’re wrecked (to indicate smoke). To add a splash of colour, you may have seen the same thing that’s been sprayed black on the outside (making it look like oily smoke). If we consider the cotton wool and version 1.0 and black sprayed cotton wool as version 2.0, the THIS is Version 3.0!

Ok this is just awesome, it just gets the nerd juices flowing! This guy is detailing the process of making a full size (yep, properly dimensioned for a gene-enhanced human) Space Marine!…

Just awesome!

Now how to file it… modelling (I guess), it’s not a conversion (as such) or a hobby article… or is it?

This is where he is up to today:

I’ve uploaded a short video from the Top Table video taken at 3++ Con in Feb 2012. I got to watch the whole battle and given it was a Dawn Of War game, it still have some swings and round-abouts. Not having played the new Necrons, I got to see the Scarab-a-thon do it’s dirty work, although it didn’t do a hell of alot on the turn that counted.

I hope to upload more of these this week.

Went to a sale on the weekend (love a good sale!) and scored heaps of new stuff including:

1. Tau Fire Warrior Squad

2. Tau Devilfish

3.Tau Skyray

4. Tau Sniper Drones and controller

5. Eldar Wraithlord (I have the old model already, but the new one is awesome!)

6. Space Marine Drop Pod (cause… just cause)

7. 2x Sisters of Battle blisters (metal)

8. That funky terrain piece with the smashed rhino

I kind got me reminiscing about the old GW sales (did I say I love a good sale?), where I purchased about $1k of models back when I was at school/uni. Those were the days… nostalgia aside, have you experiences the same thing?

Let me know
