Mini Painting!
Grognard:
:D LOL :D
btw: I found a store with FoW British universal carriers. they're WAY too big.
I'm thinking that 15mm is not going to work.
so I'm looking for 10mm or N scale APCs.
GM: GAME VAULT of Fredericksburg. Nice brick-n-mortar store with plenty of traffic.
GarandMarine:
Yeah I almost spent Thanksgiving with the Feduks actually. They do their Gamer Thanksigiving every year for us poor single bastards.
Here's what I've been working on recently
(click to show/hide)Light Elf Mage: Avatars of War series
(click to show/hide)Colonial Marines 1: I started calling this one Riddick after awhile. She was a lot of fun to paint, especially because I was able to give her tattoos. The squadies are from Hasslefree.
(click to show/hide)
Squaddie 1: Battle Ink
(click to show/hide)
Squaddie 2: For some reason she was always the fire team leader. While the "Riddick" mini always was mentally a convict they were using as a local guide of sorts.
(click to show/hide)
Squaddie 3: The Medic, also where I got into some more crazy basing concepts, the yellow piping on the side of the base is actual wire, used here as a large fallen cable.
(click to show/hide)
Squaddie 4: Smartgunner.
(click to show/hide)
Squaddie 5: Comms specialist, also has the squad grenade launcher.
Finally Major Katherine from those fine people over at Privateer Press. I wanted to paint me some ponies so I did! I did however modify the Major a bit to fit in more with my Sisters of Battle as I don't intend to start playing Warmachine any time soon.

Warmachine is a pretty fun game. I picked it up a few months back, with a Retribution of Scyrah starter, a squad box and an extra heavy warjack/Myrmidon kit. I've expanded with a second warcaster and a couple of solos since then. I think the learning curve is slightly steeper than with Warhammer 40k, since the force sizes tend to be smaller and more special rules intensive... I'm always forgetting things that different troops can do. And I'm not sure about the 'kill the leader, win the game' rule. Every game I've played in, win or loss, has always come down to someone killing the enemy warcaster. Half the time scenario goals are ignored in favor of taking out the opposing boss.
I can understand not wanting to pick up a second game though. They tend to be pricey. And even with a smaller model count, you are looking at 200-300 dollars to get into this game seriously.
TheEvilDog:
Like I've said, I've got a Mordheim campaign starting in a couple of weeks and I picked the Sisters of Sigmar for my warband.
Redoing the two novices at the moment, so here are the others. (The original photos look very washed out, so I had to adjust them with a photo enhancer)
Matriarch

As is quite apparent, I prefer a slightly dirty style and I use a lot of inks.

It's not the price it's just time and shit I already have on my painting table. I have a titan to finish, 30 odd models for my Sisters of Battle, half dozen or so "fun" painting projects, a my Late War British Grenadier Guards/American Airborne for Flames of War which haven't even been assembled yet (not to mention I need to buy the rest of the models >.>;), I have the rest of my Dreamforge stuff coming sometime in the new year, along with my big pile of TGG minis... and a pending thought towards using the 10 high elf reavers and special character I have now and using them to make a Fantasy High Elves army.
Throw all that on top of just not really liking Warmahordes. It doesn't appeal to me the same way 40k, Flames or Infinity does as a game, and to be totally honest many of the models don't really appeal to me either. Certain minis are drop dead awesome, but the warjacks just don't do it for me at all. All told I'd rather throw more money at Dreamforge Games, or buy Osprey's "Ronin" book and do up my Skirmish level Samurai...
Fuck me I am never going to get this stuff done if I live to be a hundred and fifty XD.
Especially now that I've started basing minis. I should really go back and base my 40k armies now that I think of it.

Oh goddess. It never ends.
